Designed to provide informative budget basics, this section should prove helpful to both the seasoned veteran and novice. LOCAL SALES TAX The 1.2% local sales tax continues to be a significant source of financial strength for the Town. ForFY '99-00, local salestax revenue wasprojected at$3,000,000. Actual receipts willapproach $3,300,000.The local sales tax revenues continue to be used to fund the five Council-designated priorities of law enforcement,Community Center construction,park construction,street maintenance,and preservation. THE TOWN'S FINANCIAL HEALTH L The Town continues to enjoy excellent financial health.Local sales tax receipts,building permits, and related fees continue to meet or exceed expectations.Expenditures are either on target or below estimates.When expenditure projections have been exceeded,it is in response to community/Council desires.This excellent financial condition has allowed the Town to respond to unanticipated community needs. One concern should be noted. The Arizona state legislature hasreducedthepreviously agreed upon amounts ofstate shared income tax that willbe distributed to cities and towns for fiscal year 2000-2001.This situation will be monitored and the negative impacts reported to the Mayor and Council. The Town's financial reporting system is superior as confirmed by the excellent audits received for this critical area.The Town continues to enjoy an "A"bonding rating and has received three national awards for excellence in financial reporting. 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills- Budget Highlights Page1-2 NEW BUDGET FORMAT The new budget format began two years ago. New departmental formats included mission statements,operationaldescriptions, past accomplishments, future objectives, and performance standards.This format is carried on in this budget,allowing the Council to examine each department's primary purposes and shift priorities if necessary. These sections are more "user friendly" so the general public may easily understand what each department does. FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) Afive-yearCIPisincludedinthisyear's budget. TheCIPisnotapartofthe 1999-2000 budget nor does the Council have to act on it. It is provided for informational purposes. "THE BIG FOUR"-NOW FIVE The Council continues to support the following four top priorities: 1.Law Enforcement 2.Community Center Construction 3.Park Construction 4.Street Maintenance Thisyear,the Council addedOpenSpace Preservation asafifth priority anddirectedtheManager to fund the priority. This budget addresses five priorities rather than four. LAW ENFORCEMENT The combined services of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and the Marshal Department continue to bethe model used for law enforcement in Fountain Hills.Funding increases for the Sheriff's contract are requested to maintain the recommended number (1.5 officers per 1,000 population) of officers necessary to provide sufficient coverage for a fast-growing population. 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Budget Highlights Page 1-3 COMMUNITY CENTER CONSTRUCTION The Community Center bids, received in January 1999, exceeded the budget for the project. The Council rejected all bids, deleted the performing arts wing from the project, and converted the Community Center wing into a stand-alone structure.This budget includes $1,500,000 for a down payment on the Community Center. The balance of the estimated $4,000,000 million in construction cost will be funded with a Municipal Property Corporation. PARK CONSTRUCTION TheFY '99-00 budget provides for $700,000 tobespentonpark construction at Fountain Park. The total amount will be funded by a State Heritage Fund grant. Another park construction project is the Phase II portion of Four Peaks Neighborhood Park. Since the Council has notyet approved a master plan for this project, no construction funding is included in this budget. However, when the Council does approve the master plan, a supplemental appropriation may be made to begin the construction yet this fiscal year. What is included in this budget is a recommended appropriation for plans preparation for this project. NEW MEDIAN CONSTRUCTION -SHEA BOULEVARD The Council also requested that the Manager include monies in this budget for new median construction on Shea Boulevard.In the Public Works budget,$160,000 is recommended for this purpose. STREET MAINTENANCE The total amount of $1,427,000 is recommended for street maintenance and major road improvements. These funds will pay for more than thirty miles of various types of reconstruction and/or major maintenance and are consistent with the Five-Year Capital Improvement Street Maintenance Program. 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Budget Highlights Page 1-4 MCDOWELL MOUNTAIN PRESERVATION The Fountain Hills voters have approved a six million-dollar General Obligation (G.O.) Bond issue for McDowell Mountain land purchase.It is anticipated that a purchase will be made during FY '99-00.Therefore,these funds are included in this budget. PRESERVATION As previously noted, the Council has established open space preservation as a fifth priority. The Manager was directed to budget an unspecified dollar amount to begin an open space preservation savings account. This budget recommends that an initial amount of $1,000,000 be set aside for this purpose.It is not specified which land will be purchased.During FY '99-00, the Council should consider adopting appropriate procedures to administer these dollars. THE "POST CARD"VIEW In May of 1999, the voters approved a $1,400,000 bond issue to purchase land behind the Fountain for preservation.Since the purchase will be consumated within the first quarter of the new fiscal year,these funds are included in this budget. LIBRARY/MUSEUM CONSTRUCTION The Fountain Hills voters also approved a $3,700,000 bond issue for the construction of a new Library/Museum building.The building will be constructed next to the new Community Center in the southwest portion of Plat 208 across from the post office. The Maricopa County Library District has agreed to operate the Library once it is constructed. In this budget,construction and planning monies are included.It is anticipated that construction will begin prior to the conclusion of fiscal year 1999-2000 with completion by January 2001. 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Budget Highlights Page 1-5 \%$$$rjf TEEN PROGRAMS This budget also recommends a large number of new recreation programs for the teenage population. A total of $45,000 is recommended. This request is made by the Manager, the Parks and Recreation Director,and the Parks and Recreation Commission in response to numerous requests for additional programming of this type. OTHER "NOTEWORTHY11 ISSUES AVENUE OF THE FOUNTAINS An amount of $150,000 is included to provide significant upgrades to the electrical system in the Avenue of the Fountains.This project was bid last year but no bidders came forward. A second attempt will be made during this fiscal year. DESERT VISTA PARK Desert Vista Park construction will be completed next fiscal year.This project will provide needed areas for effluent disposal. An off-leash recreational facility is being constructed on one end of the park. MEDIAN MAINTENANCE The Town has taken control of a large number of medians.Corresponding increases are found in the Public Works budget to address these landscaped areas. 1999-2000 Budget Town of FountainHills• Budget Highlights Page 1-6 BUDGET PROCESS The annual budget process is one of the most important policy-implementing activities for the Town.TheTownManagerisresponsibleforitspreparationwhiletheTownCouncilis responsible for its approval. The Town's budget year begins each July 1and ends on the following June 30. The budget adoption process has three formal approval steps. First, a "tentative"budget must be approved on or before July 15. Following this step, the budget can only be reduced. After the Council approves the tentative budget, it is published twice in the local newspaper. Public notice is given of the mandatory public hearing which must occur in August. Following the hearing, the Council approves the final budget. The last formal budget step is the approvalof the property tax levy on or before the third Monday in August. The bulk of the budget work performed by Council and staff occurs prior to the adoption of the tentative budget.Several "Special Council Sessions"are scheduled to review and consider the entire budget in detail.These sessions allow the Council to make additions,deletions,and receive additional public input. The budget adoption schedule this year is as follows: DATE:ACTION: Friday, May 28 Proposed Budget Distributed to Council Tuesday, June 29 and Wednesday, June 30 Special Council Budget Sessions Thursday, July 1 Regular Meeting & Tentative Budget Adoption Wednesday, July 21 and Tentative Budget published Wednesday,July 28 Thursday,August 5 Final Budget Adoption Monday,August 16 Set Property Tax Levy l^^Note:All meetings begin at 6:30 p.m.,unless otherwise noted. 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Budget Process Page 2-1 c BUDGET BASICS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999 -2000 The Town has the following five funds: •General Fund •Street Fund •Bond Debt Retirement Fund •Grant Fund •Bond Construction (Acquisition)Funds GENERAL FUND: The General Fund is an "all purpose"fund.This means that General Fund monies can be expended on all legally authorized municipal purposes. Revenues deposited into the General Fund come from a wide variety of sources (please refer to the Summary Sheet section for a complete breakdown of each source and the amount expected from each source). The largest revenue sources for the General Fund are state-shared sales tax,state income tax (also called state revenue sharing), local sales tax,building permit fees, and other zoning or subdivision related fees. The Town's General Fund receives no property tax dollars. All operation and maintenance expenses of theTownare paid from sources other than property taxes. The General Fund pays the expenses of the following Town Departments: 1999-2000 Budget Community Center Community Center Construction Mayor and Town Council Magistrate Court Administration Building Safety Community Development Town Marshal Parks and Recreation Golden Eagle Park Four Peaks Park Fountain Park Desert Vista Park Engineering Public Works/Medians,Dams and Washes Kiwanis Building Town of Fountain Hills -Budget Process Page 2-2 \mj^^y The General Fund also provides monies for capital projects and supplemental funding for the Street Fund. STREETFUND: The Street Fund is a "restricted use" fund.These monies may only be used for specific purposes. Funds deposited into the Street Fund include Highway User Revenue Funds (HURF or gasoline tax dollars)and State Lottery Funds (LTAF). In compliance with state law,these funds must be depositedintoaseparateaccount. Thesedollarsmay onlybespentforstreetorhighwaypurposes. Eligible expenses for Street Funds include Street Department employee salaries, street repair, maintenance, capital construction projects, and related activities. In the case of LTAFdollars, 10% may be used for specific,philanthropic purposes.Unlike the General Fund, the Street Fund has only one department,the Street Department. BOND DEBT RETIREMENT FUND: The Town also has a Bond Debt Retirement Fund.This fund is used to pay the principal and interest debt of the Town's two voter approved bond issues.This separate fund is required by the individual bond covenants.Proceeds from these two bond issues were used to pave all of the Town's unpaved streets in 1992. One of these bond issues is a General Obligation (G.O.) Bond.The other is a Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF)Bond.The G. O.Bond is paid with a secondary property tax and the HURF Bond is paid with a portion of the Town's HURF (gas tax)revenues. GRANT FUND: The budget also includes a Grant Fund. This fund exists to receive grant monies from the state and federal governments.All grants require that a very clear financial trail be maintained for audit purposes, often necessitating the establishment of a separate fund. BOND CONSTRUCTION (ACQUISITION)FUNDS: Included in this budget are construction acquisition funds for various planned capital expendi tures.These funds are established as a result of either voter or council approved bond projects. Specifically,theTownwillhaveaLibraryconstructionfund,aCommunityCenter construction fund, an open space acquisition fund for the "postcard view", and a construction and mainte nance fund for the Cottonwoods Improvement District. 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills - Budget Process Page2-3 ADDITIONAL "BUDGET BASICS" The adoption of the budget does not affect the amount of money theTown receives. The Town's authority to generate revenue is based on several completely separate state statutes. When the Town adopts its budget, it adopts legal authorityto spend the money it receives.The budget itselfisnot arevenue-authorizing instrument. The only part of thebudget that hasauthorization relating to revenue is the secondary property tax levy adopted in August for the G. O. Bond issue payments.(See the "Debt Service"section of this budget). BUDGET AMENDMENTS It isnot legally possible to amend the budget during afiscal year. The Council may,by motion, move budget authority from one fund to another. The authorized expenditure total may not be exceeded. Due to this legal limitation,it is wise to adopt extra expenditure authority to allow the Council some flexibility during any given fiscal year. This is very helpful if unexpected funds are received during the year. At their discretion,the Council may spend some or all of these unexpected monies.Although state budget law is expenditure rather than revenue oriented,it is still possible for the Council to establish savings or reserve accounts. However, there are established expenditure limitations that cannot be exceeded without a public vote. A provision in the Arizona State Constitution establishes an annual expenditure limitation for all Arizona cities and towns.For FY '99-00,Fountain Hills'expenditure limitation is $12,408,810 for all funds combined.A significant number of exclusions are provided.The limit may be exceeded for certain purposes such as capital expenditures from bond proceeds, bond principal and interest payments,interfund transfers,expenditure of grant monies and earned interest,and several other exemptions. 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Budget Process Page 2-4 \iBiir' BUDGET REVIEW Town operations are divided into departments.The Council reviews each department's budget during the special budget sessions.All budgets are broken down by departmental line items (e.g. wages,engineering fees,advertising,etc.) that vary by department.For example,the Engineering Department has an "engineering fees" line item; the Town Marshal Department does not. In addition to the "numbers"portion of each departmental budget, a narrative section isprovided. The purpose of the narrative is to briefly explain departmental operations and to provide justifications for the budgetary requests. No attempt was made to provide narrative for each individual line item.This would create a budget document several times its present size. Explanations are provided for large, special and/or unique expenditure requests. Detailed breakdowns of each line item are available upon Council request. 1999-2000 Budget Townof Fountain Hills -Budget Process Page 2-5 § w c a H o 3 C a c 3 3 Department Community Center Kiwanis Building Mayor and Town Council Magistrate Court Administration Information Technology Civic Center Construction Building Safety Engineering Public Works Fountain Park Desert Vista Community Development Parks &Recreation Golden Eagle Park Palisades/Four Peaks Marshal Department Department Totals Transfers Out Reserves GENERAL FUND TOTALS TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS 1998-99 GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE ANALYSIS Salaries Contract Repairs &Supplies Capital &Benefits Services Maintenance &Services Outlay Total % 0 37,400 16,700 9,300 1,500 $64,900 0% 0 0 9,700 4,900 10,000 $24,600 29,000 0 0 43,000 0 $72,000 0% 220,740 5,500 1,000 17,400 2,000 $246,640 2% 653,500 757,100 140,000 552,700 14,700 $2,118,000 14% 0 24,750 46,700 55,100 148,800 $275,350 2% 0 45,000 0 10,000 1,500,000 $1,555,000 10% 393,600 130,000 4,000 33,700 0 $561,300 4% 640,360 441,000 4,600 42,400 0 $1,128,360 7% 129,590 0 515,000 67,400 345,000 $1,056,990 7% 44,210 30,000 176,800 121,600 0 $372,610 2% 0 0 46,700 6,700 0 $53,400 0% 218,970 6,000 1,500 46,750 0 $273,220 2% 373,700 232,100 1,000 39,200 2,500 $648,500 4% 113,200 0 67,600 45,265 30,100 $256,165 2% 44,540 110,000 41,350 24,320 8,000 $228,210 1% 575,060 1,384,000 13,350 74,180 68,600 $2,115,190 14% $3,436,470 $3,202,850 $1,086,000 $1,193,915 $2,131,200 $11,050,435 $1,250,000 $3,135,634 71% 8% 20% $3,436,470 $3,202,850 $1,086,000 $1,193,915 $2,131,200 $15,436,069 100% State Shared Revenues $3,237,200 21% 1999-2000 Budget FY 1999-2000 General Fund Summary Revenues $15,436,069 Local Sales Tax Revenue $3,300,000 21% Carry Forward $5,990,746 39% Building Permit Fees $1,500,000 10% Charges for Services $338,523 2% Subdivision Fees $205,000 1% Other 9%; Fines &Forfeitures $297,800 2% Misc.Fees $380,000 2% Franchise Fees $110,000 1% License Fees $76,800 1% Town of Fountain Hills -Budget Sununarv Sheets Page 3-2 FY 1999-2000 General Fund Summary Supp ies and Services $1,193,915 8% Contractual Services / $3,202,850 21% Repairs &Maintenance $1,086,000 7% Expenditures $15,436,069 Capital Outlay $2,131,200 14% Salaries and Benefits $3,436,470 22% 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills- Budget Summary Sheets Transfers Out $1,250,000 8% Contingency $50,000 <1% Undesignated -$2,085,634 14% Land Acquisition $1,000,000 6% Page 3-3 w FY 1999-2000 General Fund Summary Reserves and Transfers $4,385,634 28% Four Peaks Neighborhood Pk $228,210 1% Information Technology $275,350 2% Administration $2,118,000 14% Kiwanis Building $24,600 <1% 1999-2000 Budget Expenditures by Department Mayor and Town Council $72,000 <1% Community Center $64,900 <1% Building Safety $561,300 4o/o Golden Eagle Park $256,165 2% Community Development $273,220 2% Marshal Department 15,190 4% Magistrate Court $246,640 Civic Center Construction $1,555,000 10% Parks &Recreation $648,500 4% Fountain Park $372,610 2% Desert Vista Neighborhod Pk $53,400 <1% Town of Fountain Hills -Budget Summary Sheets Page 3-4 GENERAL FUND SUMMARY REVENUES State Sales Tax State Revenue Sharing Vehicle License Tax Local Sales Tax Business License Fees Building Permits Court Fines &Fees Animal License Fees JCEF Revenue CCEF Revenue Rezoning/Variance/Special Use Improvement Plan Review Fee Encroachment Permit Fees Subdivision Fees Fountain Park Agreement Franchise Fees Parks &Recreation User Fees Rental Income Interest/Investment Income Miscellaneous TOTAL CURRENT REVENUE Carry-In Balance TOTAL AVAILABLE EXPENDITURES: Salaries and Benefits Contractual Services Repairs &Maintenance Supplies and Services Capital Outlay Transfers Out TOTAL EXPENDITURES/USES RESERVES: Contingency Undesignated Land Acquisition TOTAL RESERVES Carryfoward Fund Balance TOTAL REVISED 3/31/99 1998-99 1998-99 1999-2000 Year-to-Date Budget Rev.

During FY '98-99, the EBC presented the Manager with a prioritized list of suggestions to consider during the FY '99-00 budget process. A high priority was placed on the reconsideration of the Town's current retirement plan. The current retirement plan is a qualified money purchase pension plan maintained under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The employee and employer each contribute 9.5%of the gross salary per pay period.This contribution was originally determined based on three factors: 1.When Fountain Hills incorporated,the option to not join Social Security was selected. Due to that one-time choice,full time employees of the Town cannot participate in Social Security (currently 6.2%of their salary)nor does the Town contribute on their behalf. 2. Employees in the Arizona State Retirement System contribute to Social Security and the retirement system (3.34% in FY '97-98).The State Retirement System is a defined benefit program whereby the retiree receives a retirement income for life. A retiree from the Town of Fountain Hills will only receive the amount contributed over the term of employment. 3. Due to the limits on contributions to the 401(a)plan, the maximum allowable contribution rate has been 9.5%. 1999-2000 Budget Townof Fountain Hills -Personnel and Related Issues Page5-6 REVISED Congress has recently changed the definition of "compensation"for purposes of the 401(a)Plan to include,rather than exclude,certain pre-tax employee contributions to the Town's cafeteria plan maintained under Section 125 and the Town's 457 Plan. As a result,allowable contributions to 401(a)Plans have increased as of 1998.The new maximum contribution is 11%or a contribution increase of 1.5%. This contribution increase represents a desirable enhancement to the Town's benefit package. To partially offset the cost of the increase, the Manager has reduced the merit request from 5% to 4.25%. 1999-2000 Budget Town ofFountain Hills-Personnel and Related Issues Page 5-7 c INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY InformationTechnologyfunctions arepart ofthe Administrative Department.

SALARIES &BENEFITS: Included in this line item are Council salaries and FICA expense. Request $29,000 SUPPLIES &SERVICES: Election Expense: Every two years the Town of Fountain Hills conducts a municipal election to elect three council members and mayor.This budget includes funds for a primary and general election.Twice in the Town's history a general election was not necessary but funds must be budgeted in the event all seats are not filled in the primary election.Because the possibility of a special election always exists,funds have been included in this budget for three elections. Election costs are driven by the number of registered voters appearing in the county registration database and the number of early ballots voted by mail.An election costs the Town .78 cents 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Mayor and Town Council Page 9-1 REVISED per registered voter plus $1.43 to $1.72 for each early voting request by mail. Bond, referen dum, initiative andrecall elections require that informational pamphlets be mailed toeach house hold in which a registered voter resides. This adds approximately $4,500 to $5,000 to the cost of such an election. When the election can be consolidated with another jurisdiction or govern mental entity, the per registered voter cost is reduced to .31 cents.The recent bond election cost $13,239.69.

THE KIWANIS BUILDING On April 16, 1998, the Council approved an amended lease/management agreement with the Sunset Kiwanis for the Kiwanis Building. In this agreement, the Town assumed the majority of the financial responsibility for the building including major maintenance and repair, remodel ing costs,and utilities.For the first year of operation,line items were included in the Adminis tration budget per the terms of the agreement.Although responsibility for these functions re mains in the Administration department,a separate section and budget is included in the FY '99-00 budget for the Kiwanis Building. PERSONNEL SERVICES: As shown in the organizational chart,there are thirteen employees in the Administration De partment.This includes five part-time employees and one intern.Although the salaries of the Manager and his Executive Assistant are included in the Administration budget, their job ac tivities and responsibilities are not. These positions, therefore, do not appear in the organiza tional chart. For FY '99-00,the addition of two full-time positions is proposed. Last year,the Council approved in-house personnel to replace contract services for cleaning the Town Hall office space. In addition to cleaning,the in-house staff has provided routine repairs and maintenance services such as changing light bulbs,moving furniture,coordinating outside services, and performing minor carpentry,electrical and mechanical tasks/repairs. The appear ance of Town Hall has improved 100 percent and employees have been very complementary of the in-house custodial staff. The part-time custodians^verage-approximately 60to^54-hours-per week to^lean and maintain 21,000 square feet of office space. They have had to stretch their hour maximum to accomplish routine maintenance and special cleaning tasks such as window washing and carpet cleaning. The funds budgeted in the current fiscal year for carpet cleaning were recently used to purchase an industrial,self-propelled carpet cleaner which will save $6,000 in the repairs and mainte nance budget.Additional hours will be needed to add this function on a routine basis.The 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Administration Page 11-6 ^gp^s""' Town will become responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the library's 7,000 addi tional square feet of space when the master lease is terminated on February 1, 2000.

As the largest tenant in the Town Hall complex,facility management may become the Town's responsibility,depending on lease negotiations over the next four to six weeks.Main tenance responsibility for the Fountain Hills Water Company could also be transferred to the Town sometime during the next fiscal year. In addition to additional custodial hours,an indi vidual to coordinate the various maintenance needs of Town facilities is needed. Staff is requesting the addition of a Supervisor of Facilities Operations position in FY '99-00. This position would oversee the maintenance and repair operations of Town Hall, the library (existing and new), and possibly the water company. In addition to scheduling and supervising the custodial staff, the position would perform custodial duties as well to insure adequate cov erage. Responsibilities would also include the budgeting and purchasing of all necessary sup plies and assessing/recommending improvements to the facilities. A job description and salary range appear in Appendix B. The other position request is to meet the increasing demands on the Town's Information Tech nology personnel. One person has supported the voice and data communications, computer hardware and software as well as audio-visual needs since 1991. The number of computer workstations requiring support has increased from eight to sixty,proportionately affecting the amount of support required. Since originally installed, the network has been upgraded from eight computers sharing printers on LANtastic in a single building to aWindows NT enterprise network in a three-building campus environment.Five large vertical market database software applications are supported and network print and file services are provided for eighty plus users. Fifteen remote users are supported and maintained.The management and maintenance demands on the Information Technology personnel has increased dramatically over the last eight years.

The original program included local support groups and assessments in the amount of $22,000 and outpatient treatment at the Imagine offices in Scottsdale in the amount of $28,000. The outpatient program included 10 "scholarships"at $2,800 each. The actual cost to administer the treatment offered through the scholarships is $4,000 per person. To date, Imagine has given out 13 scholarships. Imagine and School District personnel are creating a policy and procedure manual to assist teachers in handling substance abuse problems at school. This will assist in the referral process to the intervention program.Imagine is proposing to increase the scholarship program to 15 at $3,300 each ($49,500) in FY '99-00.The support groups and assessments ($22,000) will be rescheduled to coordinate with and compliment the program offered through Fort McDowell.

Request $66,000 Special Programs -Senior Center Services: FY '98-99 represented the first full year that the Senior Center,located in the Kiwanis Building, was open and available for use by the seniors of Fountain Hills. Last year's budget included Community Benefit funds in the amount of $12,000 for the Senior Center. This included fund ing for many of the start up expenses,materials,equipment,supplies and operating costs.The part-time efforts of a volunteer director contributed to a successful first year according to the President of Senior Services of Fountain Hills,Inc. Due to her efforts,a number of programs were well received and the registration met the expectations for a start up year. The Senior Services Board has finalized an employment contract with an individual who has a great deal of experience in delivering programs of various kinds to adults. They feel that the services pro vided by a full-time director will enhance the facility, the programs and the over-all benefit to the seniors of Fountain Hills. The Board is requesting funding from the Town in the amount of $21,200. The total budgetfor Senior Services is $34,200 and includes instructors'fees,programming expense,operating expenses and the director's salary. A $13,000 grant from the Sunridge Foundation will accom modate approximately one third of the budget. A letter of request from the Senior Services of 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Administration Page 11-13 'jJaisjSiyar c Fountain Hills as well as a listing of programs and services offered at the Center appear in Appendix J.Senior Services of Fountain Hills offers abroadrangeof services and programs to the seniorsof Fountain Hills in a Town-owned facility.Staff felt it was appropriate that this request be considered under Special Programs asan ongoing community service supported by the Town. Request $21,200 Special Programs -Holiday Lighting Included in this budget is a request from the Holiday Lighting Committee for an amount of $25,000 to purchase additional holiday decorations.Acopyof the request is included in Ap pendix K.Last year theTowncontributed$45,000from undesignated contingencyreservesto the holiday lighting project. A group of volunteers will put up and take down the lights this year,allowing all funds to be used on lights rather than labor. Request $25,000 REPAIRS &MAINTENANCE: Vehicle Maintenance: The Town Manager's car is approximately two years old and the Town's mechanic advises that additional funds be budgeted for routine repairs and maintenance. Request $1,500 Building Repairs &Maintenance: This line item is comprised of routine expenditures required for the repair and maintenance of Town Hall,Buildings A, B and C, and the Theater building.Although included in this line item last year, the Kiwanis building maintenance now appears in its own budget section. There is one significant change in this line item for FY '99-00.Due to the termination of the master lease on February 1,2000,it is feasible that the Town will assume,at that time,some or all repair,maintenance and operational costs formerly paid by MCO Properties. The degree of responsibility will^lepend on negotiations that-will take place over the next couple of months. This budget is based on the "worst case scenario"which would be the assumption of most of the costs.There is a strong possibility that negotiations for a short-term lease will result in lower actual costs.Budgeted amounts are based on MCO's previous budgets and figures for actual maintenance expenditures and contingencies.Included in this line item are:$10,000 contin gency for roof/building/parking lot maintenance;$8,300 for landscaping fees including tree 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Administration Page 11-14 \^*/ trimming and removal, flowers, and overseeding; $750 for irrigation repairs; $6,000 for pre ventive maintenance on the HVAC system;$18,000 for outside services including door mainte nance, window cleaning,exterminating,electrical and plumbing repairs,and recycling;$7,000 for cleaning, paper and sanitation supplies,building maintenance supplies, fire extinguishers and maintenance.In future budgets,landscaping expense for Town Hall facilities will be in cluded in the contract administered by the Public Works Department.Since the Town may assume this responsibility mid-year,current contracts may be assumed on a short-term basis. No funds have been budgeted for major repairs to the HVAC systems.Negotiations will un doubtedly include some due diligence stipulations prior to the Town entering into a new lease. The Town is responsible for major repairs and maintenance of the Theater building.Since FY '95-96,an amount of $7,500 has annually been budgeted for repairs and maintenance of the building. To date, repairs have been minimal and the Community Theater group has paid for a number of improvements to the building. Last year an amount of $50,000 was approved for some major repair work and enhancements to the Theater building. The bidding process re vealed that the estimate to replace the overhang above the main entrance which is separating from the building,widen and replace the door,enlarge and cover the entry way porch,and remove and replace the ramp in compliance with ADA requirements was too low to complete the project. The Theater's architect is redrawing the plans to simplify and modify the project. This budget includes $67,500 for repairs,maintenance and project completion in FY '99-00. Request $117,600 Office Equipment Repairs: This line item includes routine maintenance to the existing copiers and fax machines utilized in Town Hall.These include:$15,000 for the monthly charges and maintenance of two copiers; $900 for monthly maintenance of three fax machines; and $5,000 for copier drums and miscel laneous repairs. Request $20,900 SUPPLIES AND SERVICES: Advertising: One of the departmental performance standards is to serve the public as a source of reliable information on Town Council legislation and actions.Publishing ordinances and public notices in the localpaper meets this standard and complies with statutory requirements as well. Request $15,000 1999-2000Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Administration Page11-15 Conferences: Each year, funds are budgeted for the Council and senior staff to attend conferences for the purpose of enhancing their abilities to fill their respective roles within the Town government. Included in this budget is $5,000 for the annual Arizona Cities and Towns League conference which is attended by the Council and some staff;$1,000 for the annual Council retreat;and $2,600 for the Town Manager to attend the annual International City Management Association (ICMA) and the Arizona City Management Association (ACMA) conferences. The remaining $3,400 includes the annual International Institute of Municipal Clerks conference,the Arizona Municipal Clerk's Association conference,AMMRP loss control conferences and other work shops that occur during the year. Request $12,000 Education/Training: One of the goals stated in the Administration Department's mission statement is to deliver the finest municipal services to ensure thequality of lifefor Fountain Hills residents. Providing the Townstaff with continued education and training isone way to achieve this goal. The proposed budget includes $3,300 for tuition reimbursement for employees who successfully complete approved, career related classes at a local university. Also included is $4,200 for speakers and educational presentations at the monthly staff support meetings; $1,500 for supervisory train ing;$1,800 for specialized Human Resource related training;$2,200 for software,clerical and personal skills training; $1,500 for continuing education for the accountants;and $1,000 for miscellaneous workshops offered throughout the year. Request $15,500 Dues &Publications: Most of the items included under dues and publications are annual renewals of professional/ municipal memberships,publications/periodicals and updated reference/resource materials. The largest dollar items include the following Town memberships:$4,820 for the Arizona League of Cities and Towns; $1,500 for MAG (Maricopa Association of Governments);$2,000 for ICMA {International City Manager's Assoeiation);-and $2,500 for Human Resource reference materials and periodicals.The remaining $5,300 includes the Chamber of Commerce member ship, two memberships to the IIMC and the Arizona Municipal Clerk's Association,the cost to update the law library, state procurement and miscellaneous publications such as BASIC,FLSA Handbook,Thomas Register. Request $16,200 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Administration Page 11-16 Travel: This line item includes travel expenditures associated with the various conferences included in the budget as well as mileage reimbursement for the use of personal vehicles. It also includes expenditures associated with visiting dignitaries and associates. Request $4,000 Gas &Oil: This line item includes funds to purchase gas and oil for the Town Manager's car. Request $2,000 Office Supplies: Included under the office supply heading are a vast array of items ranging from office furniture and copy paper to the employee recognition/anniversary program. In previous years, purchases such as filing cabinets,desks,chairs,and some software programs valued at $500 or more were considered capital outlay and were tracked through asset inventory.Accounting standards dic tated the decision to increase the capitalization threshold to $1,000. This change contributed to the diversity and size of the office supply line item. Some of the larger dollar items included in this request are:$3,600 for office furniture (new positions,3 filing cabinets,marker boards for small conference room, metal shelving Admin. Storage, 2 bookshelves); $4,500 for copy paper; $2,500 for employee recognition/ anniversary program; $8,000 for fax/copier/printer/postage supplies; $8,500 for office supplies; and $2,500 for volunteer recognition program.

Request $8,800 Bank Charges: This line item is for bank charges associated with insufficient fund checks.Individuals are charged a fee for checks returned to the Town for insufficient funds. Request $500 Rent Expense: This expenditure is for Town Hall,Buildings A, B and C. Due to negotiations for the Parks and Recreation space in Building A last year, the Town did not incur the annual four percent in crease which was to be effective November 1,1998.The current rate has been used to calculate the anticipated rental expense for the entire FY '99-00.The rent expense will increase from $13,235.88per month to approximately$17,700 on February 1when the Townacceptsfinan cial responsibility for the library. The Town is reimbursed approximately $15,000 in rental fees from Maricopa County Sheriff's Department and Department of Public Safety for the space they occupy in Building B. Request $181,200 Electricity: The Town currently reimburses MCO Properties for electricity usage based on the square foot age occupied by Town Hall in Buildings A, B and C. When the Town assumes responsibility for the library space on February 1,2000,electricity expense will increase proportionately. If MCO Properties continues to lease space in Building A,electricity expense in that building will remain approximately the same. If they do not, this expense could increase for Building A depending on the lease negotiations.This budget reflects a "worst case scenario"amount of $100,700, with the Town assuming the full electrical expense for the remainder of Buildings C and A on February 1. If Building A remains only a partial responsibility,the amount will be closer to $86,000. Request $100,700 Water/Sewer: This budget includes a line item for water and sewer in the event the Town assumes responsibil ity for these expenses on February 1.Based on current bills for these utilities,an amount of 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills •Administration Page 11-18 REVISED $2,800 has been included for water and $1,700 for sewer for a period of five months.A ten- percent increase was factored into the sewer fees to allow for the expected raise in Sanitary District fees after July 1. Request $4,500 Communication Expense: Communication expenditures include the monthly line charges for the Town, the Community Center, the Street Department and Golden Eagle Park. Also included are long distance service charges, pager fees, monthly portable radio charges and the frame relay charge for the Internet connection. These items now appear in the Information Technology budget. Liability Insurance: In FY '98-99 the Town received a renewal credit of $29,110 from the Arizona Municipal Risk Retention Pool (AMRRP).This credit was a return of surplus due to a favorable,membership- wide loss control ratio. The credit reduced the actual cost of the premium from $179,414 to $150,304. The premium for FY '99-00 will be approximately $210,000. This is an increase of $30,000 or 17%over last year.The increase is primarily due to the increase in ratable expenditures includ ing salaries and benefits (employee population),repairs &maintenance costs,supplies & ser vices costs,and vehicles and equipment.The Town's loss ratio also contributes to the increased premium. This ratio is calculated on the total dollars paid out in losses versus the total premi ums paid.Over the past four years, the Town's loss ratio is 69.9%.One additional factor impacting the premium is the Town's intent to increase the excess limit of coverage from $5 million to $8 million. The insurance premium is allocated to the General Fund (65%) and the HURF Fund (35%). Included in this budget is an amount of $136,500 to provide for the General Fund portion of the premium and $2,000 for miscellaneous endorsements such as fireworks and new equipment. Request $138,500 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills-Administration Page11-19 c X^ggjX REVISED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES: Capital Outlay -Furniture/Equipment: In the FY '98-99 budget,the Countil approved a $60,000 expenditure to install a portable emergency powersysteminBuildingB. Sincethisprojectwillnotbecompletedinthecurrent fiscal year and no funds have been expended, the request has been extended to the 1999/00 budget. Request $60,000 Capital Outlay -Computers &Communications These items are located in the Information Technologybudget. Capital Outlay -Improvements -Town Hall Fromacapitaloutlay standpoint,FY '99-00 isbeing viewed as a "status quo" year. Themaster lease with MCO Properties and Dr. Lukenda terminates on February 1,2000 bringing about a transition for the facility operations of Town Hall. As additional assessments are made,cost comparisons concluded and negotiations finalized,the future location of Town Hall will be decided.Duringthistime,itwouldbebeneficialfortheTowntocontinueleasingthe buildings directlyfrom Dr.Lukenda on a short-term basis. Provisions have been made in this budgetto satisfy this arrangement. Until a final determination has been made regarding Town Hall's future, no major capital ex pendituresare planned. A few minor projects identified include moving the computer network room to Building B. The auxiliary power system will soon be installed in Building B, making that facility the emergency center for the Town. It is advisable to move the Town's computer network to a location where its security, safety and uninterrupted operation would be insured. One wall of the old network room would be removed and minor remodeling done to the space to expand the drafting/CAD technicians area which is currently no wider than a hallway. Addi tionally,Community Development has requested to move the wall between the Director and Planning Technician's office and remove the wall between the Director's office and the file room.The cost for these alterations should not exceed $12,700. A final capital improvement request would complete a portion of the ADA survey performed by the Town Chief Building Official.Last year, the installation of ADA exterior signage was included in the budget.Due to the higher cost of some of the other ADA upgrades,the signage was not done.

Request $6,260 Communication Expenses: This is a vital area pertaining to Department operations,contractual obligations,and officer safety objectives.Communication expenses fall into three categories;telephones and pag ers,leased services,and communication enhancements. Telephones andPagers: With implementation of 24-hour dispatching,service requests may occur at times when officers are not on duty. All on-call personnel are issued pagers for rapid response and call outs.

Request $3,100 CAPITAL OUTLAY-VEHICLES: The Department began service in 1990 with surplus DPS vehicles as the core of its fleet. Using a planned program budget over the last seven years, the vehicles have gradually been 1999-2000 Budget Town ofFountain Hills-Town Marshal Page14-9 Nigppj^ upgraded to a modern, low maintenance fleet. As part of the upcoming fiscal year, the Department is seeking to continue this program by adding two patrol vehicles to the fleet. Normally, the Department seeks a single vehicle each year to replace aging vehicles in the fleet.However,5 years ago, two vehicles were added to accommodate Department growth. Since it takes approximately a year between the time a budget request is prepared and a vehicle comes on line,replacement of two vehicles would occur in the upcoming fiscal year. The Department has added five grant-funded positions in the last 18months with two additional grant-funded positions scheduled to be filled during the upcoming fiscal year. The additional personnel have placed astrain onthe existing fleet resulting inhigher main tenanceandoperatingcosts.By addingtwonew vehicles,theoperating requirementscanbe spreadover awider,newerfleet reducingmaintenancecosts anddowntime.

At thetime of the move, the Department borrowed furniture from the court and used surplus or damaged furnishings from remodeling in Building C. After threefull years inthe newfacilities, theDepartment has conducted acomplete analy sis of furniture and equipment needs to serve officers,reserves,civilians,and volunteers. As a result, the Depatment is seeking tables designed for training purposes and armless chairs that will not damage flooring materials in the building. A heavy emphasis is being placed on utility furniture with multiple uses to control costs. An important component of this request pertains to the dispatch center. After seven months of operation, temmporary workstations have proven inefficient. A specially designedconsole is requested that would house allradio and telecommunications equipment, voice activated recording equipment, ACJIS terminal,and computer equipment.

This service was brought on line with a minimum of communications equipment to allow time for a comprehensive evaluation. The dispatch center is currently capable of handling the Department's dispatch needs as well asassisting some components ofTown government. In the upcoming fiscal year, the Department is seeking to complete implementation of a full servicedispatchcenterby upgradingthepowersupplyandantennas, and addingfouraddi tional frequency modules to serve every Department in Town government.

Request $800 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES: Park Equipment: One piece of park equipment is being requested for Four Peaks Neighborhood Park. This piece of equipment is a John Deere 1200 Bunker Rake/Field Groomer. This is a specialty piece of equipment used to maintain skinned areas on ball fields. When deciding which tools andequip ment to use in maintaining an infield it is important to understand the concepts that need to be addressed. When grooming a skinned area it is very important to maintain a smooth and even surface that allows the ball and the player to react consistently. Maintaining a safe, level, and consistent infield requires three basic types of drags for groom ing. Onetypeisascarifierornaildragfor thepurposeoflooseningthetop V2"orsoto allowfor safe ball bounces and sliding comfort.Creating a loose surface also assists in re-leveling the skin area with other drags. 1999-2000Budget Town of Fountain Hills - Four Peaks Park Page17-5 The second type of drag for grooming infields is a leveling drag that is nothing more than a variation of a straight edge. The purpose of this type of drag is to fill in holes and undulations that are created over a period of time particularly at second and third base sliding areas and the lead-off area at first base. When using a leveling drag it is important to have it set at a slight angle so the loose material can move off the end to fill low areas and prevent the drag from bouncing. The third type of drag is a mat drag for the purpose of leveling loose and solid soil of the infield. The most popular types are metal link mats for slightly heavier grooming. The John Deere 1200 is equipped with standard attachments that would perform all of these drags. It is an efficient piece of equipment that will aid in reducing labor costs. Request $8,000 PHASE II IMPROVEMENTS: Inthefirstquarterofthefiscal year,theParksandRecreationCommissionplanstobringthe Councilthe masterplan for Four Peaks Neighborhood Park Phase II.

The Assistant Mechanic will perform routine vehicle maintenance and assist in major and com plex vehicle repairs. The increased size and age of the Town's vehicle fleet (as shown in the C following table) has created a workload requiring more than one mechanic.For the past two years, this overload has required overtime,assistance from a Street Maintenance Worker (0.3 1999-2000 Budget Town of Fountain Hills -Street Department Page 22-3 FTE), anduseof outside vendors. Operators of small supportpowerequipment have had todo more of their own maintenance and service intervals have been increased.An Assistant Me chanic will allow this work to be performed more efficiently, more consistently, and with better documentation.The future addition of an Assistant Mechanic will allow the assimilation of CCWC's vehicles into the vehicle maintenance operations.

As you areallawareI have been providing legal services to the Town continuously sincethe C secondtown council meeting in 1989. Although I saythis every yearIdo wish to again empahsisthat I am extremely proud and happy to have been associated with the Town of Fountain Hills for such a long period of time. I alsowish to be considered forretention again next yearto provideallcivil legal services to the Town. My currentrate of compensation is $130.00 andthe monthly payment of $8,300.00 is based on approximately sixty-four (64) hours of service.A statement is delivered each month which itemizes the actual hours spent each day in legal services. It is my estimation that the amount of legal services needed by the Town of Fountain Hills will increase during the next fiscal year.This estimate is based on events that are occuring during the present fiscal year such as the need to update and implement the new general plan amendments to be in conformance with the recently adopted "growing smarter" legislation. There is also considerable interest in the partnership for the acquisition of the two sections of state owned land in the northeast corner of our community.Much more citizen involvement in the local land use decisions aswell as increasing anti-city and town legislation will increase the need,in my opinion,for legal services. I have purposely excluded the negotiations to acquire the water company as those expenses would be associated with the newly formed community facilities district. I would therefore respectfully request that you and the council consider an allocation of 68 hourspermonth atthe presentrate of $130.00 perhour foramonthly total of $8,840.00whichequates to annual total of $106,080.00.I would also respectfully request that an additional $5,000.00 be placed in the legal services account for the purposes of retaining outside counsel for assistance in employee retirement matters. I would alsorequestthatan additional $1,000.00be placedinthe legal A:\99-00BUDGETREQUEST.WPD May 3, 1999 Page 2 department account for membership in the International association known as IMLA and for attendance at the annual conference of the Arizona League of Cities and Towns.

Those services would be performed atthe same hourly rateand a separatedetailed invoice would be provided foryourconsiderationpriorto payment.

Although our Chamber is relatively self-sufficient,we do require additional funding from the town to meet objectives.In the past the Town of Fountain Hills has been very generous in providing funding and assistance in both our community-wide projects and our major fund-raising events.For this we are grateful,we do however,have a continued need to allocate funds for projects that are outside the realm of community-wide projects that benefit both the town and the economic base.These projects,if not undertaken by the chamber,would most certainly fall within the responsibility of the town. For this reason we are submitting our budget request for the 1999-2000 FY. Our request will be of benefit to both the town and it's residents,in that it will continue to offer the community-wide events,such as the Thanksgiving Day Parade,the Stroll the Avenue and the ever popular Luminaria lighting, but also provide for promoting the Town of Fountain Hills as a wonderful place to live and work.This promotion of the Town in both film and print will enable us to invite not only new residents to our town but also new and invigorating small business enterprises. The types of projects we envision to undertake,if provided the funds we are requesting,would be the development of a new Town video; Advertising allowance,and continued funding for our community-wide projects.These will be discussed in detail in our attachment. Sincerely yours, si Frank S.Ferrara Executive Director FSF/dr Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce • P.O. Box 17598 •Fountain Hills,Arizona 85269-7598 • (602)837-1654 •FAX (602)837-3077 \^jgjip/ Ferrara Backup for Town Fund Request If the Chamber did not exist,many duties and services performed by the Chamber would most likelyfall squarely on the Town.Specifically,these duties could include tourism and general promotion such as our community wide projects The community wide projects for which we are requesting funds include the Thanksgiving Day Parade,Stroll the Avenue and the Luminaria Lighting.These activities are promoted for the good of the residents and should be continued. What does the Chamber do in the area of Tourism? We maintain one of the finest Visitor Centers in the state.We have updated/upgraded material that is carefully scrutinized by our capable manager,Mrs.Eleanor Bentson,and is constantly being updated.Through our advertising on the web and other cost free venues,we have attracted an average of 500 visitors per month this calendar year.The overwhelming reason for visiting the Center is to obtain information regarding Fountain Hills real estate,rentals,golf courses and maps.Undoubtedly many of these visitors become future residents.Our visitors come from45 states and 10 foreign countries. Our Visitor Center is manned by 13 volunteers who have donated 1,210 man-hours of work in 1998 and almost 500 hours so far in 1999.Additionally we have received an average of 2,200 phone calls per month from January to the present.The overwhelming reason for calls is to obtain verbal information on Fountain Hills as to location,events and amenities. During 1999 we have averaged approximately 100 information packages per month sent to potential visitors and new residents and I have a listof eight out-of-state people who have indicated an interest in relocating to either start a business here or relocate a present business. What does the Chamber do for the Town? The Chamber is involved infive major events on a yearly basis.Three of these events, the Fountain Festival,Great Fair and Native American Artist Invitational are Chamber sponsored and the other two (the Mitch Silver Car Auctionand Cactus Cup Races)have minimal or indirect involvement. Our major three events bringapproximately 300,000 people to Fountain Hills yearly with the estimates of 35,000 people forthe other two events.To bringthis number of people to Fountain Hills requires an enormous expenditure on the part of the Chamber.We spend $85,000 per year promoting Fountain Hills through our events.Mitch Silver auction and Cactus Cup spend $50,000 and $35,000 respectively to promote Fountain Hills through their events.Thistotal of$170,000 inadvertising dollars is spent forthe good ofthe communityand its businesses.If we make a conservative assumption that these 330,000 people spend an average of$25, then the totaleconomic impact is $8,250,000,These funds are spent on food,clothing,art, our retail establishments, grocery stores and forother business services.Further, this direct economic impact when translated to sales tax revenue is a town benefitofapproximately $103,138. c NiiBa^ The impact on the economy of Fountain Hills is considerable.Additionally,some of these people have an interest in learning more about Fountain Hills as is evidenced by the questions we receive at our information booth,and could conceivably become future residents. 4.What do other Town/Cities do for their Citizens? As Executive Director I have had the opportunity to meet with and discuss various issues with my counterparts in the Valley.One of the issues centered on how each Chamber benefits from its government.All receive some or the majority of their funds from their local governments.A sampling follows: Chandler:Receives approximately $1,000,000 for operations and business retention. Economic Development is responsibility of the City. No advertising. Apache Junction:Receives $40,000 from the City. EDC is responsibility of City. Tourism/advertising done by City. Avondale,Litchfield,Goodyear (Tri-City)all providecollectively$60,000 to Chamber for operation.Chamber not involved inadvertising ortourism and they do not have a Visitor Center. Glendale:Receive $40,000 from City, primarilyfor business retention.City has its own Tourism Dept. and EDC Council, with no Chamber involvement. SUMMARY We feel that the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce does both a present and future service to the Town and its residents as has been discussed above.We also feel that the budget request for Community Wide projects will continue to enhance the ambience of our Town and the budget request for the media will promote the Town during periods when there is no advertising.We respectfully request that the Council grant both partsof the request from the Chamber.

The special needs of elderly, disabled, and low-income persons,coupled with limited transit services in Fountain Hills, makes STS an important resource for these transit-dependent populab'ons. Fountain Hills clients need STS to access basic needs and maintain independence and self-reliance. The STS program values and relies upon support from the local cities and towns served to meet program objectivesand provide qualityservice.Maricopa County Human Services Department requests local capitalmatch funding of $4,560, and operational funding of $15,956 forthe specializedservice and $31,351 forthe shuttle service, fora total of $51,868 to support continued services in Fountain Hills in Fiscal Year 1999-2000.The increased request amounts are a result of greater costs in operating the shuttle over the current year, especially for staffing, marketing, cellular telephone and maintenance expenses. Thank you foryour careful consideration of our proposal.Please feel free to contact me at 506-4849 ifyou have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely, Phyllis Smith Transportation Manager jV"\TT^'-»r>^vjn^rwv "CC^Qryr*rvj <?r» •r>t Summary of Request In our cultureof personal mobility,many of us take for granted the ability to access basic necessities like medical treatment,food,social interaction, and employment. Mobility-limited populations in Fountain Hills are particularly challenged because of limited availability of publictransit services and other transportation resources. In response to these ongoing needs,Maricopa County Human Services Department established the SpecialTransportation Services Program in 1980. A number of Fountain Hills residents currently depend on the transportation ST5 provides, and an even larger number are eligible for future services. In order to continue the high quality services provided in Fountain Hills,Maricopa County Human Services Department is requesting funding from the Town of Fountain Hills to support the ST5 programduring Fiscal Year 1999-2000.Local assistance will enable eligible Fountain Hills residents to access existing services,as well as to allow new services to be developed to meet identified needs.

The Need For Specialized Transportation in Fountain Hills STS serves low-income, elderly, and disabled Fountain Hills residents.These populations often need specialized transportation services because they: ♦Do not have access to other transportation resources ♦Cannot afford or access other public or private transit services ♦Physically require personalized,door-to-door assistance •>Cannot wait long periods for pick-up, especially in excessive heat or inclement weather •:•Cannot manage the transfer from one vehide to another. Busservice for Fountain Hills residents is limited; one Valley Metro express bus makes dailytrips from Fountain Hills into Phoenix Monday through Friday.Formany transit- dependent individuals,especially those with special needs or mobility limitations,STS is an essential transportation resource, and a key to self-reliance and independence. The table belowshows transportation need demographics for Fountain Hills: Total population*14,146 Total households*5,724 Population 65 and over* 2,741 (19.40/q Of total population) Mobility-limited population*368 Households receiving TANF benefits**23 Individuals with income below Federal Poverty Level*368 Households with income 150%or less of Federal Poverty Level*225 (*1995 Special Census) (**Arizona Department of EconomicSecurity) jv*\tt^-)A^vjn^TWTT 70fifooc tvj of-:oT rrsw GR.'ni'on C Service Objectives for Fiscal Year 1999-2000 •MMtfM During Rscal Year 1999-2000,the STS program will provide the following services to eligible Fountain Hills residents: 1.Dedicate three vehicles to Fountain Hills service Monday through Friday 2.Provide 7,000 passenger trips 3.Provide general public shuttle service within Fountain Hills andthe Valley Metro bus stop at the Mayo Clinic Service Facts STS provided transportation servicesto 96 low-income,elderly,and disabled Fountain Hills residentsin Fiscal Year 1997-98 throughthe local Red Cross Reservation Office.

To accomplish this goal, the MMPC requests the items budgeted below: Public Awareness 1.Video Presentations.The MMPC proposes to make one professionally made video to help citizens become more familiar with the Upper Sonoran Desert. This video will include descriptions of the area's natural desert landscape,the preservation process, a description of any additional land acquired and the associated hiking trails and destinations.Cost Estimate:$6,000 2.McDowell Mountain Month.The Commission would like to continue and add to this highly successful program which consists of the school program,the hiking series,and the open house at the communitycenter.Cost Estimate:$4,500 3.Advertising.These funds would be needed in the event public notices were needed to advertisefor openingson the Commission.Cost Estimate:$500 4.Printing.The MMPC believes that a one-page quarterly newsletter,describing preservation efforts and general preserve information,is necessary and would be beneficial to the Town.In connection with the public awareness effort,the MMPC also occasionally prints a large number of informational brochures and handouts. Cost Estimate:$6,000 5.Outside Services.The MMPC desires to hire a consultant to prepare a three- dimensional computer-generated accompaniment to the video to graphically illustrate development options in the McDowell Mountains of Fountain Hills.Cost Estimate: $10,000 6.Travel.Members of the Commission and Staff,from time to time,attend educational workshops and meetings outside of the town.

Articles will be written by commissioners and experts concerning the importance of the native lands, preservation, management of the preserve, characteristics of the Upper Sonoran Desert, wildlife and other topics of interest.Cost Estimate:$0 TOTAL BUDGET REQUEST:$27,500 Town of Fountain Hills Purchasing Division Fountain Hills, AZ April 30,1999 Design and Service of Community Based Adolescent Assessment and Substance Abuse Treatment Program Program Goals: To builda strong foundation for lasting recovery from chemical dependency. •develop communication and parenting skills,which focus on getting, parents to commit to being involved • efforts that focus on strengthening values pertaining to the elimination of alcohol and other drug abuse • efforts that focus on parent behaviors,including elimination and reduction of alcohol and other drug abuse • efforts designed to change community perceptidhs and social norms about alcohol and other drug abuse f •efforts will include the parents to reinforce what the adolescents are learning,such as L,facts about drugs and their harmful effects,what will open opportunities for family discussions about use of legal and illegal substances and family policies about their use. •efforts will includesupport groups and 12 Step meetings for adolescents recovering from addiction •house a meeting place for recovering teenagers which allows them to develop a healthy alternative to being with their using peers and start a support group of sober teens. •restore hope to the alcoholic and substance abuser and their family members by helping them to begin their recovery from these devastating illnesses and to realize their full potential for the rest of their lives. Program Objectives •To offer substance abuse counseling by certified practitioners in the area of alcohol, tobacco,and drugs AH State of Arizona certifications are included in the addendum to the proposal. •To provide organized substance abuse counseling services without leaving Fountain Hills There are four different and equally important aspects of substance abuse counseling services for adolescents.They are: 1)Assessment We believe the key to successful treatment is careful evaluation,assessing all aspects of the patient's symptoms and living situation.A thorough psychosocial and substance abuse evaluation to identify those problems that 9318 H.95TLI WAY 5UITX 101.±>COT[±>DJ\\JL.AZ 85258 (602)6l4-3/i/l/l •FAX (602)614-3888 must be addressed intreatment.Finally,ifindicated,psychological testing and psychiatric evaluation will be used as ways of making sure all psychiatric conditions are discovered and properly treated. With this information,a care team made up of physicians,counselors and social workers, allspecialistsin addiction medicine and recovery,develop a program of goal-oriented care and support. 2)Intervention- Intervention Services consist of an Intervention Specialist working with one or more concerned people and family to interrupt the chemical dependency of a loved one.Anytime someone needs help but refuses to accept it, an intervention is appropriate.Intervention is used for people engaged in any self-destructive relationship with drugs and alcohol. Intervention is the most loving, powerful and successful method yet for helping people accept help. An intervention can be done with love and respect in a non-confrontational,non-judgmental manner. Sometimes a great deal of family education takes place before the intervention,in others it takes place afterward.Some interventions occur in the person's home, others in the Imagine Recovery Resources Fountain Hills office.Some are a surprise,others are not.Some interventions require several weeks of preparation;others can be done in a few hours or days. 3)Adolescent Support Groups Imagine Recovery Resources will facilitate regular sober teen support groups at The Fountains Church. In fact,we have already begun offering this service one afternoon a week.We would like to expand this service to three and four y-times weekly. L,Adolescent sober support groups have two goals.The first goal is to get the addicted teenagers into a healthy non-drug using peer support group where it is 'cool*to be sober.The second goal is for the facilitator to continue to teach the newly recovering teens coping mechanisms to better deal with their parents,school and other stressors. 4) Education Groups In conjunction with the Fountain Hills School District (FHSD),we are currently working to provide a lower intervention level than either the support group or the Intensive Outpatient Program at Imagine.These groups will be limited to four sessions per school year,each session being four 1.5 hour long didactic sessions with students and parents.They will be designed to educate families about alcoholism and addiction.They will be mandated as a level of care for students who get caught on campus. Imagine Recovery Resources will provide Assessment,Intervention and Adolescent Support Groups through our Fountain Hills offices.Intensive Outpatient Treatment and Parent Support Groups will be provided in our North Scottsdale offices. «To offer intensive outpatient treatment fora specific number of patients as determined by the provider Imagine Recovery Resourceswill provide Intensive Outpatient Treatment to fifteen chemically dependent adolescents from the Fountain Hills Community. The use of these funds will be limited to an as needed basis. Prior to granting a scholarship to a Fountain Hills teenager,their parents and the teenager must complete a chemical dependency assessment.They willalso complete a Financial Disclosure Form.This service will be provided at our North Scottsdale location. The normal cost for Adolescent IOP is$4,000,1 willgive Fountain Hills a discount of $700 per scholarship,which makes the cost of each IOP $3,300. Imagine Recovery Resources will provide a copy of the Financial Disclosure Form to the Town Council of Fountain Hills that will have the family's name deleted from the form for the purpose of confidentiality. A full desaiption of Imagine Recovery Resources Intensive Outpatient Program can be found in the addendum to this proposal. •To offer Parent Support and Education Groups Imagine Recovery Resources,LLC hosts a support group for parents of addicted teenagers.These groups are both educational and process oriented.An Imagine Recovery employed,state licensed counselor will lead the meetings. The staff of Imagine Recovery seeks to help family members and friends understand chemical dependency disease and to reduce the stress,anxiety and anger which surrounds the addiction of a loved one.By restoring self-respect,trust, and hope, Imagine's staff helps family members return to a normal life-style and enables them to provide a strong support system to promote recovery for the addict and the family. Bringingfamilies together to share common experiences and issues provides a tremendous opportunity for support and problem solving.Families that participate jn the support group feel less isolated and alone in their struggles.We encourage attendance at 12 Step groups such as Al-Anon and Parents Anonymous. Some of the topics to be discussed will be: •The Disease Concept of Addiction in Adolescents •Family Dynamics &The Chemically Dependant Teen •The Recovery Experience for Adolescents •Expectations • Rules in a Recovering Home •Family Realignment:Establishing EffectiveBoundaries •Parent Recovery • Relapse: Effective Strategies &Responses *To target adolescents from grade levels 6-12 in the local school district We will continue to work with The Fountain Hills United School District to compliment their programs and supportthe schools in any way possible.We have run groups with 'at-risk' students, helped design intervention programs,and spoken at school functions for students and parents.Our involvement with the District will include all of what we have been performing,and any other services,which they may require of us. «To establish a facility,or location, for continuing support within the Town of Fountain Hills. The Fountains, a local Fountain Hills based church has generously offered space for services to Imagine Recovery Resources.We will use The Fountains forcontinuing support in Fountain Hills. c Reporting A monthly report will be submitted to the administration of Fountain Hills reporting the hours served and the scholarships used for the previous month.

It is crucial for us to continue our cooperative relationships in Fountain Hills. By working together, it is our hope to have a significant, positive impact on the families in our community. As a part of this effort, we would like to continue working together to provide substance abuse prevention and intervention programs for our youth. The Fountain Hills Unified School District is able to contribute $8,000 of its funds to support the programs we have initiated with the Town of Fountain Hills. By pooling our funds, the town is able to support substance abuse prevention and intervention programs to include:Education groups, support groups, intensive outpatient scholarships, and assessment services.

Projects in the first year of the CIP are more fully described in the applicable budget section. In general, survey and design costs (typically about 10%), and construction inspection and testing costs (typically about 6%) have not been shown in the CIP listing except where indicated.Right-of-way costs are not expected to be significant for any of the listed projects. Each project cost contains a reasonable (10%)contingency. The CIP projects as listed are: A.Traffic Signals CThe attached Projected Traffic Signal Map shows the existing,planned and probable traffic signals, as well as developers commitments for traffic signal participation.The Town currently has six traffic signals and one intermittent signal. Two flashing yellow school warning signals will be installed in FY '99-00 at the Palisades/Hampstead and Fountain Hills Boulevard/Fayette intersections, as requested by the School District. The signals at Shea/Fountain Hills Boulevard and Saguaro/Palisades Boulevard will be upgraded to include opticom detectors, new controllers, wiring and illuminated street name signs. These modifications are scheduled for FY '99-00 and the opticom modifications have been requested by the Fire District. New traffic signals are proposed for four intersections: • Saguaro/GrandeBoulevard- met MUTCD warrants in 1996. Page 1 of 11 Ni^fcJH/1^ • La Montana/Palisades Boulevard - met warrants in 1996.Alternatively,the recently opened Palisades/Avenue of the Fountains intersection may need to be signalized instead of or in addition to La Montana/Palisades Boulevard.(MCO has a 50%commitment for the Palisades/Avenue of the Fountains signal through November 2002.) •Palisades/Sunridge Drive - this is considered to be the next most likely signal location, due to the continuing development of SunRidge Canyon,connection of Sunridge Drive through to North Heights (expected in 1999), and the construction of the Copperwynd condominiums. Palisades Boulevard has a relatively high speed limit (45 mph) and limited sight distance at this location.(SunRidge Canyon has a 50%commitment for this signal through October 2003.) •Unspecified location -developer commitment intersections and other potentially feasible locations are shown on the Proposed Traffic Signal Map.The location of signals is determined in a traffic signal warrant study conducted in accordance with the MUTCD. Additionally,warning flashers and signal upgrades are considered likely to be needed late within the five-year CIP time frame.Locations have not been specified at this time. B.Street Improvements Later year funding has been programmed for widening scalloped (unfinished)streets,reflective markers,and joint projects with developers,with the locations to be determined later.Specific later year projects include: •Shea Boulevard,Saguaro to Beeline,and 144th Street to Palisades.This is a MCDOT project, budgeted at $1.5 million and currently scheduled to begin in late 1999. The Town's costs include upgrades and extension to MCDOT's work, on a reimbursement basis after project completion.Upon completion of the project,Shea Boulevard will be six lanes (three in each direction)plus bike lanes and a raised center median from 144th Street to Palisades Boulevard and from Beeline Highway to Saguaro Boulevard.Town costs per the current IGAs are $492,000.However,developer participation relating to the Eagle Mountain and Firerock Country Club areas will likely reduce the Town's cost to $300,000. •Shea Boulevard Bike Lanes/Median - this is a Federal Aid project to add bike lanes on Shea Boulevard and includes adding some landscaped median.Programmed for FY 2000 Federal Page2 of 11 c Aid obligation, the project will likely begin construction about March, 2001. The project has $440,000 of Federal Aid funds and requires a minimum of $40,000 of Town funds. •Shea Boulevard Improvements at Firerock Country Club -MCO has agreed to construct a landscaped median from Palisades to Fountain Hills Boulevard,pay half of the median cost on the Firerock Country Club frontage east of Fountain Hills Boulevard and make Shea Boulevard intersection signal and turn lane improvements for their subdivision.The Town's costs include the remaining half median portion and additional intersection lane improvements. • Town Center Improvement District - MCO, the town, and perhaps the Plat 208 (north half) property owners would contribute to this District(s).Improvements could include landscaped medians,frontage landscaping,decorative sidewalks,decorative intersection pavement,fountains,traffic signals,lighting and a Civic Center pedestrian mall. The $1,000,000 shown in the later CIP years represents the Town's share of a substantially pared down project,or the first phase of the full project. C.Street Enhancements Town directional signage is planned for construction in FY '99-00.New landscaped medians, sidewalks, and traffic calming costs have been programmed for multiple years • New Landscaped Medians:Medians on La Montana at the Civic Center,in conjunction with MCO are programmed for FY '00-01. $30,000.Programmed for the later CIP years, priority locations for new medians would be to fill in gaps between developer-funded medians and to address access-related accident problems. $60,000 per year, beginning in FY '01-02. •Sidewalks:Priority sidewalk locations include routes leading to the schools,in commercial areas, for walking loops, to connect Town park facilities,and in filling in gaps developer- funded sidewalks.ADA accessible ramps continue to have a high priority when a need is identified.$30,000 per year. Staff is pleased to report that in May 1998, the walking loop around the Golden Eagle Park/High School block (Golden Eagle,Palisades,Hampstead and Bainbridge)was completed.This included construction by developers,the School District and the Town over Page 3 of 11 the last five years. This block was a primary course for the walking club until the on-street walking became too dangerous.In May 1999, the Town filled in a sidewalk gap at the Clearaire Subdivision along Saguaro,and there is now a mile-long continuous sidewalk along Saguaro. •Traffic Calming:The newly adopted Traffic Calming Policy and Process enables the Town, working with neighborhood groups,to install physical measures to reduce vehicle volumes and speed. Severe problems will be funded by the Town;moderately severe problems will be funded by the residents and constructed by the Town. $10,000 per year. D.Drainage Recurring drainage problems have been identified by visual observation during and after storms and by the street maintenance condition survey.Drainage problems that relate to major storms have been identified through Maricopa Country Flood Control District's floodplain delineation mapping and Area Drainage Master Study (ADMS).Proposed for correction in the CIP are: •Hazard Mitigation Grant:The FEMA Hazard Mitigation Projects are for catch basins on Saguaro Boulevard across from Fountain Park (at Parkview,and north of Stewart Vista), a drainage channel from Grande Boulevard to Rosita Drive,and minor pedestrian safety improvements at Golden Eagle Park Dam. Carried forward from last year, these projects have been delayed in the FEMA environmental approval process and for coordination with the major Golden Eagle Park Dam safety improvements design.FEMA will be providing $28,000 in matching funds. •Minor Drainage Projects:Since 1993 staff has field identified over 80 localized drainage problem locations. These recurring or nuisance problems include street ponding, undersized curb openings or catch basins, erosion, excessive street flow, and sedimentation. Funds have been used annually to correct the drainage problems in the street maintenance work areas. Approximately 30 locations remain to be corrected, scattered throughout Town and along Saguaro Boulevard. • Major Drainage Projects: The Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC) completed Floodplain Delineation Studies (FDS) of the major washes in Fountain Hills in November, 1994. Floodplain maps should be available from FEMA in 1999. Subsequently, FCDMC completed an Area Drainage Master Study (ADMS) in June, 1997 which consisted Page4 of 11 of three major parts:(1)Modifications to Golden Eagle Park Dam,(2)Roadway Crossings Study, and (3) Flood Access Study. The Roadway Crossings Study identified 26 major flood problem locations and recommended corrections.The large majority of problems were undersized roadway crossing culverts which will create excessive water depths and velocity over the roadways during major storms,andin some locations create localized flooding problems.For example, the highest water depth over a roadway is T crossing El Pueblo Boulevard at Ashbrook Wash, which is north of Grande Boulevard, during the 100-year storm event. In the Flood Access Study, a total of 86 "impassable"locations were identified. An impassable location was defined as having more than 0.5' depth of water crossingor along the roadway during a 100-year storm event. Next, 1,854 lots were identified as having no passable access during 100-year storm events. The three largest inaccessible areas were northeast of Saguaro and Grande,the Richwood-Boulder area,and the Firerock area. And finally, 7 culvert improvements with an estimated cost of $850,000 were identified which would reduce the number of inaccessible lots to 80, all in isolated pockets with no more than 30 lots inaccessible due to any single impassable location. There was substantial overlap between the improvements recommended for the Roadway Crossings Study and the Flood Access Study;combined estimated cost for all recommended improvements was $4.5 million. What does all this mean?During a widespread,major (100-year)storm, the Town will experience many hazardous wash crossings,a few building structures will be flooded,and 20% of the Town residences will be inaccessible (most for relatively short periods). Now that all this is known, what should be done?A range of options are available - ranging from a $4.5 million bond issue to correct all the problems immediately, down to making no physical improvements,just dealing with the emergency conditions as they happen. Staff recommends a more moderate course of action and has programmed $50,000 annually toward correction of the smaller cost problems.Two of the more widespread and severe Page5 of 11 \$ggps ^CiQjrp^* problems have been approved by FCDMC for their participation as shown in the next two projects: Golden Eagle Park Dam (GEPD)Modifications:Staff got its first inkling of GEPD's problems from the FDS. The FDS showed that during the 100-yearstorm, the reservoir pond (i.e. the Park) will fill up and water will flow through the spillway (i.e. the horseshoe pit and south parking lot area), down the amphitheater and onto the football field. By interpolation, it appears that future flows onto the spillway and onto the footfall field will start to occur during a 7-year storm event. The lowest softball fields in the Park will begin to be inundated by a 2-3 year storm event. Although the Park and football field were designed to be inside the dam reservoir and spillway respectively,these frequent inundation frequencies were unexpected. (Note: To date, the GEP ball fields have been inundated once, but they have only a 4-year history. It also appears that in the history of the dam, the spillway has never flowed.) In 1996, MCO and the Town completed the Safety of Dams analysis required by the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) for all 8 ADWR jurisdictional dams within the Town limits. The Safety of Dams analysis is based on 1/2 of the Probable Maximum Flood (1/2-PMF)rainfall.(The 1/2-PMF storm is roughly equivalent to a 500-year storm.)The other dams in Town did not significantly overtop in the 1/2-PMF storm (although a couple had less than the required 3' of freeboard and one other had a minor overtopping.) However, GEPD was shown to be overtopped by 4'(approximately 13' deep at the spillway) and would likely be catastrophically breached. ADWR has verbally advised the Town (but no written notification yet) that GEPD is being added to ADWR's list of about 25 unsafe dams. The recommended correction alternative includes adding a new box culvert outlet, lengthening the spillway, and raising the dam. In 1997, FCDMC approved this project for inclusion in its CIP with a Town cost share of 35%. Geotechnical borings were drilled in early 1998, and the pre-design is currently underway.$200,000 for pre-design and design costs (in 1999-00),and $300,000 for construction costs (in 2000-01) have been programmed. Although the pre-design and design Page 6 of 11 NmUjUP^ ^snj/gj^ costs represent huge expenditures relative to the normal percentages of construction cost, FCDMC staff has shown that the percentages are in line with previous dam modification projects. Please note that the Town is the licensee of the dam (from ADWR)and owns the reservoir and upstream half of the dam. The School District owns the downstream half of the dam, and the spillway route (i.e. the football field). In accordance with the Town's policy of assistance to the School District,the Town has in the past performed the maintenance on the whole dam.Staff has kept the School District fully informed regarding dam safety issues, proposed projects, and maintenance activities. The School District could be responsible for 50%of the local costs shown for this project;alternatively,these costs could be included in the Town's list of assistance to the School District.In any case,easement rights and maintenance responsibilities should eventually be clarified in an IGA between the Town and School District. Ashbrook/Balboa Drainage Project:The project was approved by FCDMC for inclusion in their CIP in FY '96-97,with a 40%Town cost share.The project includes several modifications in the lower Ashbrook Wash and Balboa Wash areas to reduce structure flooding and roadway impassability,as follows: •Saguaro Boulevard at Ashbrook Wash -new box culvert •Bayfield Drive at Ashbrook Wash - new box culvert •Ashbrook Wash,Saguaro to Del Cambre -clean-up overly dense vegetation (The Town Public Works Department has basically accomplished this item, for fire hazard elimination);and construct a maintenance access roadway •Fountain Hills Boulevard at Balboa Wash -new box culvert •Fountain Hills Boulevard at Oxford Wash -review whether the Fountain Hills Boulevard/Balboa Wash culvert solves the problems at this location. The project cost was estimated at $1.33M in 1995 (prior to the ADMS study). Staff has requested that this project be deferred to a lower priority than GEPD modifications. The Town's cost share of $520,000 has been programmed for FY '02-03 and '03-04. Page7 of 11 ^t^y&r ^>My^kr Street Maintenance The Town embarked on a well-defined course of major pavement maintenance in 1993. Five annual contracts have been bid to handle on-going major street maintenance and improvements: Concrete, asphalt, slurry seal, emulsion seal, and masonry. Several current annual contracts have been extendedthree times; staff anticipates rebidding these contracts this fiscal year.Basically, the annual contracts lock in unit prices and requirements quantities as needed; the Town issues workordersfor whateverquantities are requiredfor a maintenancearea or improvementproject. The basic pavement management plan was to work clockwise around Town over a five-year cycle. Since the Street Department was then crack sealing in the north central part of Town, all work began in that area in 1993. The proper normal sequence for the work is: •Utility reconstructions (primarily electric and water) •Minor drainage projects •Concrete curb replacements • Crack seal by the Street Department (or apply CRF by the emulsion seal annual contractor) • Pavement maintenance (emulsion seal, plastic seal, slurry seal, overlay, or reconstruct) The Town has coordinated extensively with Salt River Project and Chaparral City Water Company's reconstruction programs for the past two years. In several areas,the utilities chose to defer their work until at least two years after Town slurry seal. Currently,the Town is completing its first pass of virtually all areas of Town,ending in the northwest area.Also remaining are the former MCDOT roadways (Shea and Saguaro). MCDOT chip sealed these roadways in about 1989.Although the Town applied a light fog seal in 1995,these streets need to be micro-surfaced in FY '99-00 or '00-01. Except for budget year FY '99-00,the CIP amounts programmed are based on 15 miles of emulsion seal, 30 miles of slurry seal, 1 mile of overlay,1/2 mile of pavement reconstruction, and 1 mile of curb replacement. Page 8 of 11 ^fafofoaiiiK Maintenance Equipment New equipment proposed for purchase includes a dump trailer,backhoe/loader,chipper,water truck,asphalt laydown box,compressor/trailer,and sign machine. Replacement or additional equipment includes a striper,crack sealer,tractor,dump truck and pick up trucks. In general,Staff anticipates replacing equipment at 7-10 years of age, and pickup trucks at 70,000-100,000 miles. Maintenance Facilities Facilities proposed to be added at the Street Yard include asphalt for the yard area ($35,000, FY '00-01), and a building to replace the existing administrative trailer ($200,000,FY '03-04). Landscaping •Medians The Town historically maintained about 10 acres of medians.In FY '97 and FY '98,the Town assumed maintenance responsibility for about 23 acres of medians -including Avenue of the Fountains,other MCO medians,the Lakeside medians,the Firerock Ridge medians,and other medians as a part of participation agreements.See the Landscape Maintenance Map for these areas. In the remaining CIP years, the Eagle Mountain,SunRidge,Palisades,and Town Center I medians will be transferred from the initial developer maintenance to the Town.Additionally, new medians are expected to be built along Shea Boulevard (and possibly other locations) during this time frame,altogether totaling 17 acres. The median landscape areas are shown on the Landscape Maintenance Map. Although many of the medians transferred to date are in good condition, some need major upgradingto remove existing hazards and to upgrade the landscaping and other features to meet current expectations and standards, as follows: •Upgrade existing medians (primarily Saguaro)- The Saguaro Boulevard center and frontage medians were installed in the early 1970s. Long term maintenance by the developer,major removals in the name of roadway sight lines by MCDOT,and removal of Page9 of 11 ^^^^ dead materials (without replacement)by the Town have left the medians sparsely vegetated with an outdated landscape palette. Many of the Palo Verde trees are infested with borers (a terminal disease). Many of the other trees have been severely stressed and are aged. The proposed work will add trees, shrubs, cactus, and groundcover plants to these medians. The work will utilize a low-water "desert" palette with intensive use of on-going colorful blooming species. Older non-palette trees -particularly the highly allergenic olive trees - will be gradually eliminated as they die and as their green mass is no longer needed. The work is intended to be performed island-by-island beginning at Fountain Park. The remaining commercial areas will be targeted next,with the remaining medians last.Cost of $100,000 is programmed within the five year CIP. Upgrade Avenue of the Fountains medians -These wide medians are actually Town- owned property within the divided right-of-way.The medians were acquired from MCO in March 1998. A FY '99-00 project will be a major electrical upgrade.The FY '00 and FY '01 projects will eliminate ADA issues,make aesthetic changes,and install upgrades, particularly regarding the fountains, concrete, and irrigation controls. Cost - $400,000. Landscape Restorations -$20,000 per year has been programmed to correct past disturbance areas.The Town's current Subdivision Ordinance standards provide good revegetation of new disturbances.The landscape work is expected to consist primarily of hydroseeding,sprigging shrubs such as brittlebush and bursage,and replanting salvaged cactus. In whitish-colored rock faces and slopes,slope staining with Eonite or Permeon will be utilized. Landscape New Medians - New medians for the Town to landscape are expected to occur in the following ways: • Add new medians to fill in "gaps" and extend median areas.Example areas include Palisades Boulevard (Fountain Hills Boulevard to Avenue of the Fountains),Fountain Hills Boulevard (Palisades to Arrow),Saguaro Boulevard (La Montana to Grande), and Shea Boulevard. Page 10 of 11 1 W ":^r: '.m-yiq ^ :.'-r uf-• ilr;;-.• t 3 *f '"*-* * {**?:/£<•is' \'j ii'sSfcS •Modify existing medians for new turn lanes. • Add medians atjoint projects. Developer discussions have indicated a desire to have the Town construct and immediately maintain medians as a part of its share in joint projects. $135,000 hasbeen programmed to landscape new medians,spreadover alternating years, but the cost and distribution of this work is difficult to anticipate. Washes and Dams The Town has recently acquired over 1,100 acres of property. See the Town-owned property map. Another 300-500 acres are anticipated to be acquired within the next five years. Except for public parks and facilities, these properties will be managed for preservation. However, the property near homes must have fire hazards kept within acceptable limits. A number of "washes" have grown over with non-indigenous,fire hazard species such as salt cedar and desert broom.Additionally,fire hazards include 30 years of dead trees,limbs,and trash dumpings which have also accumulated.See the attached map of current urgent and moderate fire hazard areas. The Town is progressing with "clean-up"of the worst locations.The long term cost is difficult to estimate at this time.That cost is also highly dependent on rainfall.Wet winters - like 1993 and 1998 - produced large amounts of combustibles in the washes. After $200,000 for FY '99- 00,$100,000 has been programmed for the remaining four CIP years. Page 11 of 11
