AN D #7 ",iRESOLUTION 2000-22 AUTHORIZING ALTERNATIVE USES FOR LTAF
MO =:
Resolution 2000-22 is a routine legislative action authorizing the use of Local Transportation Assistance
Funds (LTAF) for purposes other than transportation. Since 1990, the Town Council has authorized ten
percent of the'LTAF or lottery money received by the Town to be used for cultural, educational, historical,
r-re, .tionai or scientific_programs :'Approval of this resolution provides the authority the Council will use

Fountain Hills Memorandum
TO: Cassie Hansen
FROM: Steve Gendler,Marshal L1
DATE: May 8, 2000
SUBJECT: Liquor license application-American Legion
The purpose of this memorandum is to endorse the attached extension of premises liquor license
request from the American Legion. It is my understanding that this is scheduled for consideration by
the Council at their meeting on May 18th.
Investigative facts:
This application, as submitted, would involve a one day extension of premises of the facility located
at 16850 Avenue of the Fountains. The American Legion has a valid class 14 "club" license in place
at that facility. Under the provisions of the Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 4, a class 14 license is
specifically issued to a veteran or fraternal organization for "on-premise" sale and consumption of
alcohol by members and registered guests.
Findings:
The application in this case would extend the premises in conjunction with a scholarship fund golf
tournament. While the documentation is somewhat vague, this appears to be consistent with
previous requests filed by the American Legion which are restricted to members and invited guests.
This is a permitted function under the provisions of the license. In reviewing the application, the
American Legion has made provisions for access control and identity checks in compliance with
liquor license regulations.
Recommendation:
Based on this extension being in compliance with the provisions of ARS Title 4 relating to a class 14
license, as well as meeting the requirements for control of access to members and guests, I
recommend approval of this application by the Council. Copies of all investigative documents are on
file with the Marshals Department.

Re: Eagle Scout Recognition of Mike Severson
On Saturday, April 29th, Mike Severson of Troop#343 coordinated the wash clean up of the east
corner of Ashbrook Wash, between Vallecito and Calico, east of El Pueblo, (see attached). He
was assisted by nearly 60 people, whose work consisted of trimming trees, eliminating brush that
was considered a fire hazard and picking up garbage. The Fire Department was there to
supervise the project, and donations were made by Paul's Hardware,Waste Management and
Lan-Con to aid those who were involved. The Boy Scouts were also there to participate, as well
as many neighbors. The Town of Fountain Hills greatly appreciates all of the hard work Mike
has done, and would like to recognize his efforts with a plaque of appreciation, to be presented
by Mayor Morgan. Mike will be joined by his parents, Fred and Teresa Severson.

*Oat isA °• RE: CITIZEN COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
FOR DISTRIBUTION OF LTAF MONIES
Agenda Item#9: Citizen Committee Recommendation for Distribution of LTAF Monies
The LTAF Review/Selection Citizen Committee met Monday, May 15th to share their ideas, reach
a consensus, and formulate a recommendation to the Council for the distribution of lottery monies.
As you know, pursuant to A.R.S. 28-2603, ten percent of the Local Transportation Assistance
Funds (LTAF) which the Town receives can be used for purposes other than transportation
including cultural, educational, historical, recreational or scientific facilities programs. An equal
cash match,from non-public monies,must be obtained from grant recipients.
The Committee reviewed twelve applications that represented requests totaling $27,317.87. Since
the amount available for distribution this year was $10,598, each member of the committee
carefully reviewed and assessed the merits of each request, establishing individual prioritization
mechanisms. Their various rating mechanisms were combined, ultimately dividing the requests
into three categories of high, medium and low priority. Each request was placed in a category
based on the following criteria:
• Consideration of past awards and funding histories of each group.
• Other sources of income and ability to raise funds.
• Number of citizens/participants being served by the project/event.
• Appropriateness of the request for the projected project.
• Number of events—is it a one time,repeated or ongoing event.
• Additional Town funding such as Community Benefit money.
• Overall "purpose" of the event: "fun"; sports/training/history; arts/education;
drugs/alcohol (high priority).
Although the Committee respected the efforts and community contributions of all of the groups,
they knew they had to make reductions due to the available funding. Funding recommendations
were generally based on the following rating system:
High - $1,500 Medium - $1,000 Low - $500
1999-2000 LTAF Distribution
Page 1 of 2
Using their rating system as a basis for award, members shared their conclusions, discussing and
compromising until a consensus was reached on each request. As consensus was reached, they
noted that all but two awards, the Historical Society and the Arts Council, directly benefited the
youth of the community. All members were extremely supportive of any youth related programs
and projects. Although not youth related, they were also supportive of the Historical Society and
Arts Council requests because both were related to the new Community Complex Plaza project
which they felt benefited the entire community. They felt that all applications met the statutory
requirements and satisfied the format.
Attached are a summary chart that shows all of the applications received, the proposed projects, the
amounts requested and the Committee's recommendation for award. Also included is a short
summary of the Committee's rationale for the recommended award.
The citizen committee consisted of: Lois Grate
Wally Nichols
Melanie Pavlet
Lee Robinson
Greg Wood
All members were diligent in thoroughly reading and evaluating the application materials. It was
evident that they took their charge seriously and put alot of time and effort in making their
recommendations. At the meeting there was a willingness to listen and share ideas in order to
award funds where they would do the most good.
The Committee is aware that their recommendation is just that, a recommendation that the Council
can change or modify as they see fit.
Included with the support documentation is a copy of the public notice that ran in the Times for six
weeks. It was also displayed at the Town's regular posting places and on Channel 11. An
application format and all other information supplied to the Committee is also attached.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I'm sure the Committee members would
be more than happy to answer any questions you may have for them. Full sets of the applications
were not re-produced for the packets. If you would like to see more than the summary sheet
material, please let me know. The full set of applications is available for review in my office or we
would be happy to make you a complete set upon request.

DATE: 5/1/00
RE: REVIEWING AND SELECTING RECIPIENTS OF LTAF MONIES
Thank you for agreeing to serve on the committee which will be reviewing the applications for
Local Transportation Assistance Fund, (LTAF), monies. Your task will be difficult as the grant
process produced twelve groups and fourteen requests (the Fire Department/Rural Metro submitted
three separate applications) totaling $27,317.87. Since the LTAF funds available for distribution
are approximately$10,598, some or all of the requests will need to be reduced. It appears that all of
the groups have fulfilled the requirements, i.e. the statutory requirement of matching funds from
non-public monies. It may be helpful to note that some of the groups have previously received
Town funds through the Community Benefit funding process. I have enclosed an information sheet
showing those allotments from last year's budget. Also included is an application summary sheet,
some information on the lottery funds, the criteria that must be met to meet the eligibility
requirements, and a chart showing LTAF distribution for previous years.
My assistant,Bev Bender,will be contacting you soon to arrange a meeting of the committee. Prior
to the meeting, please review all of the applications and formulate your own recommendations on
how the funds should be distributed. This will prepare you for discussion with the other committee
members and assist in reaching a consensus as to how the monies should be distributed. Your
recommendation will be forwarded to the Town Council for "award action" at a regularly scheduled
meeting on May 18. The Council has historically concurred with the citizen committee
recommendation,making only minor adjustments in the last nine years.
Some of the elements that past committee members have looked for in the applications are specific
statements of purpose/use for the grant monies, ability/inability to raise funds elsewhere, and the
overall benefit to the community. Please feel free to bring all your thoughts, ideas, suggestions to
the table.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 837-2003,extension 104.
ihr Thank you-

RE: Golden Eagle Park
Well Site
Fountain Hills Sanitary District
L
The item on your agenda this evening for consideration and action concerns the participation
by the Town of Fountain Hills with the Fountain Hills Sanitary District in order to facilitate the
much needed effluent injection program that is being sponsored and developed by the Sanitary
District.
The Sanitary District and CCWC have reached an agreement whereby CCWC will provide
title to one of its current wells known as Well 9 in exchange for a new well having approximately
the same capacity as Well 9. The Sanitary District will use Well 9 as one of its permanent injection
wells.
The Sanitary District has determined that the best location for the new well would be on a
portion of the land that is currently Golden Eagle Park. This location was chosen for a number of
reasons one of the most important being its ability to be connected into the existing CCWC
distribution system.
The Town Staff agreed in principle to assist the Sanitary District by entering into a nominal
($1.00 per year) lease agreement and based upon those representations the Sanitary District has put
in place all of the necessary bids for the construction of the well. A lease is needed by the District
so that they may go upon the property for the purposes of constructing the well.

I have asked the attorney for the District to prepare a lease agreement with necessary
insurance and environmental protections to the Town as the land owner upon which the well will
be located. That lease agreement is attached to this memorandum.
Since this item is coming before you at the last minute it is not absolutely necessary that the
form of the lease agreement be approved this evening. It is entirely possible that the actually
execution of the agreement could be delayed to either the first June meeting or the first July meeting,
however, it is imperative that if a majority of the Council supports this concept that the Sanitary
District receive permission to go upon the property as soon as possible and to start construction of
the well so that the necessary testing and licensing of the well can occur.
I would therefore propose one of two possible courses of action. The first would be to
approve the lease agreement as attached or with any minor amendments that we wish to make and
the second alternative would be to authorize a temporary construction easement from the Town of
Fountain Hills to the Fountain Hills Sanitary District for the purposes of construction and testing of
a well and that the lease agreement be returned to the Council at a future meeting for review and
authorization.
I will conclude by an apology on my part for having this matter on the agenda in such a
rushed circumstance. I think you are all aware that there have been a number of other items that
have occupied the Council and Town Staff over the past several months and this one unfortunately
was not brought to your attention a little earlier. Representatives of the Sanitary District are present
and they along with Town Staff can answer any questions you may have.
Staff respectfully requests that the Council look with favor upon either the lease agreement
or the granting of a temporary construction easement this evening.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council

FROM: William E. Farrell of
Town Attorney
DATE: May 18, 2000
RE: Eminent Domain of Public Utilities
Chaparral City Water Company
At our council meeting on May 4, 2000 Councilmember Poma asked for a report on the
legality and feasibility of exercising the power of eminent domain by the Town of Fountain Hills
to acquire the ownership of Chaparral City Water Company. This report is designed to give an
overview of the legal aspects as well as the financial aspects of such an action.
LEGAL AUTHORITY:
A.R.S. § 9-511 gives municipal corporations such as the Town of Fountain Hills the power
to engage in any business or enterprise which may be engaged in by persons by virtue of franchise
from the municipal corporation. The municipal corporation may construct,purchase,acquire,own
and maintain within or without its corporate limits any such business or enterprise. A.R.S. § 9-
511.C. provides that a municipality may exercise the right of eminent domain either within or
without its corporate limits for the purposes as stated in subsection A. above.
A.R.S. § 9-514 provides that before a municipality constructs,purchases,acquires or leases
any of the businesses described in A.R.S. § 9-511 (a water company) it must first seek the
affirmative vote of a majority of the qualified electors voting at a general or special municipal
election duly called and held for the purposes of voting on the question. The Town of Fountain Hills
has never asked the voters for permission under A.R.S. § 9-514 to exercise those powers and
therefore it is my opinion that the Town of Fountain Hills as a municipal corporation could not
acquire any of the regulated utilities currently serving residents of the Town without first having
such an election.

Re: Eminent Domain of Public Utilities
Chaparral City Water Company
Page 2
A.R.S. § 48-701et.seq. provides for the formation of Communities Facilities Districts.
A.R.S. § 48-701 is the definition section and defines municipality as meaning an incorporated city
or town. A.R.S. § 48-701.12.(c) defines public infrastructure as a water system for domestic,
industrial,irrigation,municipal or fire protection purposes including production,collection,storage,
treatment, transport, delivery, connection and disposal
A.R.S. § 48-709 lists the powers of a Community Facility District and among those powers
is the right and power of eminent domain. The Town of Fountain Hills has in fact formed a
Community Facilities District known as the Fountain Hills Water Company Community Facilities
District and it was formed in November of 1998. The Board of Directors of the Fountain Hills
Water Company Community Facilities District are the current Mayor and Council of the Town of
Fountain Hills and that organization will continue in existence.
It would therefore be my opinion that the Fountain Hills Water Company Communities
Facilities District has the legal authority to exercise the power of eminent domain to purchase a
domestic water company without the necessity of a public vote authorizing the District to be in the
water business. Two other communities in the state,Apache Junction and Prescott Valley have used
the Community Facilities District statute to acquire domestic water companies.
FINANCIAL ASPECTS & HISTORY
The Town of Fountain Hills was informed in May of 1998 that the parent company of
CCWC had retained a consulting firm to assist it in collecting private and confidential bids for the
sale of the stock of CCWC. The Town signed a confidentiality agreement which restricted or totally
eliminated the ability of the Town to release confidential information that was provided to the Town
regarding the acquisition of the stock. After a very brief legal and financial review it was
determined that the Town or a Community Facilities District could not acquire the stock and
therefore could only purchase the assets of an existing company. With this conclusion the Town did
not go forward in what I will call Round 1 of the negotiations. Although we have no exact
information we are lead to believe that none of the bids submitted to MCO during Round 1 were
acceptable. MCO approached the Town in November of 1998 about the possibilities of a negotiated
purchase of the assets.
The Town Council authorized staff to enter into negotiations to acquire the company for a
price not to exceed 31.5 million dollars and under terms and conditions that would not result in a
water rate increase in excess of 9%.

Re: Eminent Domain of Public Utilities
Chaparral City Water Company
Page 3
The Town engaged the services of numerous consultants in the engineering and environmental
areas and conducted extensive due diligence on the financial and operational aspects of the water
company. Those investigations resulted in a conclusion by the Town that it would be unable to
acquire the assets under the terms and conditions specified by MCO before the process started.
Although Town Staff was authorized to make a tentative bid of less than the amount sought by MCO
negotiations eventually broke off and no formal offer was ever presented to the Town Council.
MCO started round 2 of the negotiations again using a private consultant and again insisting upon
sealed and confidential bids. Since the Town had participated so heavily in its prior due diligence
and financial analysis, the Council instructed staff to sign an additional confidentiality agreement
and to place a sealed and confidential bid into the process for consideration by MCO. Although
MCO made no public announcement regarding the rankings or the negotiations with bidders until
early in 2000 it became apparent to the Town that its sealed bid was too low and that suspicion was
confirmed several months ago when MCO made a public announcement that they had entered into
a tentative agreement with American States Water Company to sell all of the stock of CCWC to
American States. The announced purchase price is $31.2 million dollars and approval of the stock
transfer is currently pending before the Arizona Corporation Commission.
The acquisition of a public utility by government through the use of condemnation involves
the process of determining the fair market value and is traditionally done though either an appraisal
or through a court appointed special master. Unlike real estate wherein comparable sales are usually
the most reliable basis for the purchase or condemnation of real estate;utilities companies are most
usually valued under a system known as reconstruction cost new less depreciation(RCLND). The
RCLND is arrived at by an appraiser and additional value is added to the company if it can
demonstrate intangible costs such as going concern, obtaining CAP water supply and the value
assigned to the certificate of convenience and necessity.
Comparable sales used so frequently in real estate are usually not available in utilities
because of the difference in size and plant of the various public utility companies.
Our case is a little different in that we would have an established market value at 31.2 million
dollars representing the current sale.
Although staff can not release the confidential information that it obtained during its due
diligence it is the opinion of staff that the Town acting through a CFD could not acquire the assets
for 31.2 million dollars without a double digit rate increase. It is also the opinion of the staff that
the owner of CCWC could establish an RCLND value in excess of 31.2 million dollars through
competent expert witnesses.

CONCLUSION:
It would therefore be the conclusion and recommendation of the staff that the council not
authorize the acquisition of the assets of CCWC at this point in time. Rather staff would recommend
that we continue to work with an monitor the activities of American States Water Company and
should an opportunity for reasons this point in time unknown to either party occur then the Town
should pursue at some point in the future the acquisition of the assets of the domestic water
company.

Re: Docket No. W-02113A-00-0233
Stock Transfer of Chaparral City Water Company to
American States Water Company
Gentlemen:
I am writing to the Commission as the Town Attorney for the Town of Fountain Hills
pursuant to direction of the Town Council taken as part of their regular agenda at a public
meeting held on the evening of May 4, 2000.
The Town Council had asked our office to investigate the issues regarding the transfer of
stock referenced above. Pursuant to that direction, we have met with the principals of American
States Water Company, and they have provided to the Town Council a three page letter dated
April 14, 2000, a copy of which is attached to this letter.
American States Water Company has also made available to my office information
regarding access to the attorneys involved in both corporate and litigation matters in the State of
California, and have offered us access to a great deal of information regarding the company's
current operations.
The provision of domestic water to the citizens and users of the Town of Fountain Hills is
extremely important to the Town Council. Our initial impression of American States Water
Company is such that it is the opinion of the Council at this time that they will be a good
