4.REPORTS BY MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS AND TOWN MANAGER
Councilmember Spelich said that last week was National Police Week, started in 1962 by
President Kennedy. On May 15, 2020, they added 307 names to the wall, and unfortunately
the COVID-19 put a damper on that memorial service. He thanked all the men and women of
law enforcement for their work and recognized them.
Mayor Dickey said that a sixth Emergency Declaration was issued, incorporating the
Governor's most recent Executive Order. They continue to guide people to use the CDC
website as it differentiates between different industries. She said that here they are giving out
masks and sanitizers to Town employees. She said that while the numbers look alarming they
are doing a lot more testing so those numbers alone are not as bad as first appear. She said
that they are on a good trajectory for the number of hospitalizations. She was anxious to see
how the opening up will affect the numbers and she asked everyone to continue with their
individual responsibilities.
Mayor Dickey said that she has been working with James in Economic Development and the
Town Manager to create a Health and Business Resource Sheet which is on the website. It
provides good news with what they can do. She said that if anyone had questions they
should call or e-mail any of them and if they do not know the answer, they will find it.
She attended a virtual business meeting of the Arizona Canadian Business group. They are
active in the medical field and they are excited about the new trade agreement.
She said that she also attended a quarterly meeting with mayors and supervisors with GPEC.
There was a lot of talk about the CARES Act. They have had some difficulty accessing the
$1.9 billion that is left after part of the initial money was distributed. She said that Mayor
Gallego expressed appreciation for GPEC and they are trying to get resources for those with
populations under 500,000. She said that the League is actively petitioning the Governor to
allow them to participate in the distribution formula. She said that they also sent letters to the
federal delegation asking that they not consider it a bailout. She asked that they help them
help their constituency.
Councilmember Magazine said that he has noticed around town that a lot of people are not
paying attention to congregating in large crowds. He said that it only takes a few people in a
crowd like that to cause problems. He will be asking Captain Kratzer what they are doing. He
asked Mr. Miller if Congress does make appropriations to the states if there was any way of
knowing if any of it would filter down. Mr. Miller said that it would probably be based on
population. He said that even with the FEMA funding, it is based on actual expenditures and
tends to be grants and aid to those with 50,000 populations or more that are direct recipients
of CDBG.
Councilmember Tolis said that if Councilmember Magazine wants to discuss with the captain
regarding enforcement of social distancing, that is a policy matter that the entire Council
should be discussing. No one councilmember should be taking it upon themselves to direct
the Sheriff's Department.
Mr. Miller said that staff has returned to Town Hall and the Council Chambers have been
open to the public; however, they will have more restricted and limited access.
A.A PROCLAMATION recognizing National Day of Prayer and declaring May 7, 2020, as
Fountain Hills Day of Prayer.
Councilmember Brown read the proclamation proclaming May 7, 2020, as Fountain Hills Day
of Prayer and presented it to Pastor Brewer of North Chapel Bible Church.
B.RECOGNITION of outgoing Community Services Advisory Commission Youth Commissioner
Hayden Arnold.
Mayor Dickey read a recognition of Community Services Advisory Commission Youth
Commissioner Hayden Arnold and presented it to him, wishing him the best in his future
endeavors.
5.SCHEDULED PUBLIC APPEARANCES/PRESENTATIONS
A.PRESENTATION by MCSO Captain Larry Kratzer with a monthly report of MCSO activities.
Captain Kratzer thanked Councilmember Spelich for his comments and thanks to the men
and women. He said that he would be addressing some of the kind acts seen by MCSO with
the local businesses and residents. He said that several restaurants have contacted him with
the desire to feed his officers on patrol. He said that one restaurant had not even opened their
doors but found a date to feed them. On Easter Sunday, another restaurant fed the officers
and several residents have had pizza delivered for the deputies and have dropped off treats
and snacks. He thanked the businesses and residents that showed support.
Town Council Regular Meeting of May 19, 2020 2 of 12
He said that over the last two months they have seen an uptick in fraud cases. He said that
unfortunately the demographics of the town make these residents ripe for being taken
advantage of. He said that they had a 94 year old out of $150,000 and an 80 year old out
$19,000. He said that they are elaborate scams and there is not a lot that law enforcement
can do; they involve foreign accounts and cell phones that are not traceable.
He asked that the public be educated and remind the older population, perhaps through their
children that live close, to keep them aware of these scams. He said that in the future they
plan to hold Fountain Hills Cares where they will have residents come out and they will
provide sessions to learn about fraud and con games. He said that they also do community
outreach with Coffee with a Cop. He added that he left some information at the back of the
room they are welcome to take with Ten Things To Do to Avoid Fraud.
Captain Kratzer said that with the way the contract is with the Town, his direction usually
comes from the Sheriff himself. He does not know of a scenario where one councilmember
directs the MCSO department. He said that the burden of enforcement of the executive orders
was placed on local law enforcement and it is a constant learning situation. He said that
similar to the Governor's Stay at Home Order, if they get calls they will respond, with a lighter,
softer touch through their Service Aides and educating the public.
Sheriff Penzone outlined in his directives, when the orders were modified, that there would be
no arrests or citations. He said that there are plenty of opinions on this issue, but
MCSO's approach will be through educating the public.
Councilmember Magazine said that he was not previously suggesting that they direct the
department, but more that he had questions to ask. He said that Captain Kratzer's explanation
has answered those questions.
Councilmember Tolis said that he appreciated all that MCSO does. His understanding now is
that the executive order has been rescinded or expired. He also said that there had been
some discussion about the orders not being constitutional. After further discussion, Mr.
Arnson said that some of the provisions in the Stay at Home Order were carried over into the
May 12 Order, 2020-36, and he would be happy to follow up with Council and provide
additional information. He said that those are still in effect and available online as well.
Mayor Dickey added that the new order is available online at www.azgovernor.gov. She said
that each of the orders are listed, but if they read the news release associated with each, it is
much easier to understand. And, as to the constitutionality, a federal judge in Arizona
determined that they are constitutional.
Councilmember Spelich asked Capt. Kratzer to ask his detectives in Fountain Hills to take
time to meet with bank managers and inform them of the scams going on in town. When
customers are coming in to banks to withdraw large amounts of money, the tellers could ask
questions and maybe stop someone from being a victim.
Mayor Dickey noted that at this time she was going to move up Item 8-G to hear from Jack
Lunsford on legislative issues, who was on the telephone.(See Item 8-G for minutes)

8.REGULAR AGENDA
A.HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER adoption of Resolution 2020-01, adopting the
Fountain Hills General Plan 2020 and calling a Special Election on November 3, 2020, for
voter ratification of the Plan.
Mayor Dickey opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Miller said that this item was already approved at a Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting and John Wesley, the Development Services Director, would give a report on this
project which started over a year ago. He said that there has been a lot of hard work and
effort put into it and the consultant, Maria Mask, was on the phone should they have any
questions.
Mr. Wesley gave a PowerPoint presentation which addressed:
PLANNING PROCESS MILESTONES
OVERVIEWING PRINCIPLE
VISION
CHARACTER AREA MAP
OVERVIEW OF A 150-PAGE DOCUMENT
Councilmember Magazine said that he did not make it a secret that he was not happy
spending over $100,000 for the study, but it is mandated by the state every ten years and
they did an excellent job.
Mr. Wesley said that they met with the various commissions, including the Strategic
Planning Advisory Commission, last November and received 23 comments.
Councilmember Magazine said that they were going to be asking the voters to vote on the
final plan. He asked if there was plan to do a "CliffsNotes" version and how they would get
the word out. Mr. Wesley said that is always a challenge. The Town can educate; they
cannot advocate. One of the requirements with the consultants is to put together an
Executive Summary.
Ms. Mask said that it has been a long process. They are in the process now of completing
the Executive Summary and that is what they will use as an educational tool for people that
do not want to read the entire document.
Councilmember Magazine requested that the Council review the Executive Summary
before it goes out. Others agreed. He thanked the staff, stakeholders and consultants for
doing an excellent job.
Vice Mayor Scharnow asked if they would say the plan allows for changes. He said that in
light of the Daybreak issue, they have been taken to task for amending the General Plan.
He asked Mr. Wesley to explain how the process works.
Mr. Wesley said that the General Plan is general; it allows for issues to come forward and
possibly make changes. He said that a General Plan is a policy document, an adopted
guidance, with the understanding that it will be, and needs to be, amended. The state
statutes define what is considered a major versus minor change.
Town Council Regular Meeting of May 19, 2020 5 of 12
Mr. Wesley said that has been done in this plan. While Maria is a good, seasoned planner,
they do not always get everything right and there needs to be an ability to amend. He said
that a good example is the Palisades/Shea area. It is in the plan as a secondary gateway.
With regard to neighborhood characters, it showed higher density residential in the Town
Center and the Shea corridor. He agreed with that and that is what they did. He said that
there is some flexibility and some reasoning to look at projects as they come in.
Councilmember Magazine said that was an excellent point; it is not gospel. He suggested
that this explanation be included in the Plan itself. Mr. Wesley said that they could come up
with something like that for the Plan, or perhaps include it in the Executive Summary.
Vice Mayor Scharnow said that he thinks there is enough broad and general language that
anything the Council does they could be hung with.
Councilmember Brown said that the current General Plan, which is ten years old, does not
even allow for mixed use. Over the last ten years every time the councils try to amend the
General Plan they are abused. They should be able to go in and make changes.
Mayor Dickey said that the General Plan is a reference, a guiding theme. When they talk
about what they are, if they read the beginning of this, it explains, but it still has to integrate
with the Zoning Ordinance and the Town's specific plans. They also coincide with the
Strategic Plan Advisory Commission and Vision Fountain Hills. It is worthwhile for them to
have. She said that one of the conversations with Daybreak was whether it was a major
versus minor amendment. it is important to include wording about the ability to make
amendments.
She said that soon they wll be having a report from the Traffic Safety Committee and there
is a lot of discussion about safety in the General Plan, and speeding. She said that it helps
to have something there as a guide that everyone has voted on. It can be a guide; it does
not mean it is a dictation.
Mayor Dickey said that it does mention being a walkable Town, but she would like to see
that emphasized more. Also, with regard to infrastructure, they have talked about having
internet for the entire community as being part of infrastructure and she would like to see
that added. She thanked them for adding the brownfield efforts. They recently had one tank
removed and they have a couple of other areas in Town.
She said that Page 29 mentioned school property and she asked if they could put
something in the Plan on #7 with the school district property having restrictions and
including wording such as "in accordance with state statutes." She also said that they are
working with Valley Metro and Proposition 500. She asked if they need specific things
listed. Mr. Wesley said that those are outside of what they would consider in a General
Plan document. They do have a section on the street network and they have covered that
from a broad perspective.
Mayor Dickey said that page 79 references MCSO and Rural Metro, but she asked if there
was anything preventing them from exploring their own departments. She asked if the
priorities and timetables could be changed administratively. Mr. Wesley said that they could
and that is stated.
There being no public input, Mayor Dickey closed the Public Hearing.
Town Council Regular Meeting of May 19, 2020 6 of 12
MOVED BY Councilmember Dennis Brown, SECONDED BY Councilmember Alan
Magazine to adopt Resolution 2020-01 with the recommended changes (school district
property, Rural Metro/MCSO, explanation in the beginning that it is a general plan and can
be amended).
Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
B.CONSIDERATION OF Awarding the Annual Landscape Contract #2020-062 to
BrightView Landscape Services, Inc.
Mr. Miller said that this is the third largest contract they have for services in Town. The
company will provide landscaping and maintenance for rights-of-way, parks and grounds
keeping. He then asked Parks Superintendent Kevin Snipes to give his report.
Mr. Snipes said that this is the Town's landscape contract. The new contract proposal was
advertised in the Fountain Hills Times and the Business Gazette. They had nine people
show up for the mandatory meeting. From those they had four proposals. On April 7, 2020,
they had a group of five different staff members that are touched by the contract and they
scored the proposals based upon general information, experience/qualifications, key
positions, project approach, project schedule, and budget. Through that process 500 points
were possible. The top scorer, with 474 points, was the highest scored by 51 points. There
was a definite difference between one and two.
Mr. Snipes said that this is a contract that is important to the Town. They will maintain the
rights-of-way, all parks mowing and major tree trimming, irrigation work and design area. He
said that they can do more than just general maintenance. He said that the group
recommended is Brightview Lanscape Services for $388,012.10, with an additional
$50,000.00 for unexpected purchases on an emergency basis, as approved by Town staff.
Vice Mayor Scharnow asked if the "owner's allowance" was something they had in the
current contract. Mr. Snipes said that it was not. He said that one thing he kept running into
over the years that if something came up, he was unable to jump on it and get it fixed. This
allows for that to take place. If it is not needed, it will not be touched.
Vice Mayor Scharnow asked if they are going to be able to have the resources available if
there are big monsoons that hit, if they are contracted with the other big cities. Mr. Snipes
said that he could not answer that since he has never worked with them, but there were
three of their staff at the meeting. Mr. Miller said that the Town does have other emergency
vendors. There is a local company that could help with heavy work as the parks typically
get hit hard.
Vice Mayor Scharnow said that they have had previous discussions about the median on
Palisades and asked if they would be dealing with that project. Mr. Miller said that he
believes that the Public Works staff will be able to do some of the work themselves.
Councilmember Magazine asked if it was at the contractor's sole discretion to use the
owner's allowance. Mr. Miller clarified that the Town would have to authorize any of those
funds being spent.

Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
C.CONSIDERATION OF a proposal to create a Fountain Hills Walk of Mayors at the linear
park on Avenue of the Fountains.
Mayor Dickey recused herself from discussion on this item.
Mr. Miller said that a few weeks ago Councilmembers Brown, Leckrone and Tolis had asked
that an item be placed on a future agenda to discuss the possibility of recognizing all past
and present mayors of the Town.
Councilmember Brown said that there have been eight mayors in the Town of Fountain
Hills and between being appointed by four different mayors to the Planning and Zoning
Commission, he has worked with three of them on Council. He has witnessed the abuse
given to the mayors. While the councilmembers receive it as well, with the mayor being the
leader and in Town Hall day after day, folks not participating as a councilmember do not get
to know and see the value of the mayors that lead the town.
He said that since they have the walk on the Avenue of the Fountains, they would like to
see every mayor recognized somewhere in the Town and that is the perfect spot to be
considered. Councilmember Leckrone agreed; she thought it was a great idea.
Councilmember Spelich said that he appreciated this coming to the Council's attention. He
has mixed emotions about naming things after people. He is opposed to it being limited to
just former mayors. While he understands that being a mayor in this town sucks the life out
of them, he would be opposed to this if it was simply for mayors. There are many civilians
and community members that serve the community in various ways and he does not
believe it should be just for elected officials. Councilmember Magazine said that he would
be concerned going in that direction, and asked who would make the selections. Leaders of
their community are already recognized through the Lower Verde Valley Hall of Fame.
Vice Mayor Scharnow asked if they would agree to the general concept, but have staff
consider other possible locations.
Mr. Miller said that tonight staff was seeking direction on whether to have them develop a
conceptual design and estimated cost to be brought back to the Council for further
consideration. Councilmember Brown said that is exactly the conversation he thinks they
should have. He believes that their leaders carry a special torch. He said that he suggested
the Avenue because that is where Sharon Morgan was recognized, but he is not married to
that location at all.
Councilmember Spelich asked if it would include others, or just the mayors.
Councilmember Brown said that he was requesting just the mayors. Vice Mayor Scharnow
suggested, and others agreed, that all mayors should be recognized equally.

Vote: 6 - 0 Passed
D.CONSIDERATION of Amendment #1 to contract 2017-034 with Bel-Aire Mechanical for
HVAC maintenance and repairs and the associated budget transfer.
Mr. Weldy said that he was requesting funding for two compressors. He said that the #2
Chiller, which is approximately 20 years old, has taken the majority of the load to cool town
facilities. He said that Raymond Rees, himself and Mr. Miller reviewed their options. They
have a long-standing, good relationship with Bel-Aire who has managed to help keep these
things moving.
He said that the proposal is for two duplicate units and shipping back the old units, for which
they will be given a $1,500 per compressor core fee. They are also asking for additional
funding toward their contract for unexpected work.
Councilmember Brown said that this was brought to Council by Mr. Rees probably six years
ago and he has managed to fix them. He asked if there was funding available. Mr. Weldy
said that the funding is there. He said that the Town Hall campus is controlled separately.
Inside there are several departments and compartments that are conditioned for their use.
The Council Chambers is held at a basic temperature and when needed it is programmed
appropriately. The same goes for the larger meeting spaces in Town Hall and at the
Community Center.
Councilmember Magazine complimented Mr. Weldy and his staff. He comes before Council
at almost every meeting with items. He cannot even begin to imagine how much work goes
into getting contracts, working the budgets, etc. He said that they do a terrific job.
MOVED BY Vice Mayor Mike Scharnow, SECONDED BY Councilmember Alan Magazine to
approve Amendment #1 with Bel-Aire Mechanical for $81,000 for HVAC maintenance and
repairs, and the required budget transfer.
Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
E.CONSIDERATION OF options and direction to staff regarding the completion of the Fountain
Hills Blvd. shoulder paving project.
Mr. Weldy said that they do not yet know from the comptroller with the State how much
funding is left, but they wanted to provide an update. Through value engineering and
savings on projects they have done in house they have some funding in the capital fund
and there is one-time money from HURF. There are a few options available: 1) direct select
the contractor that was already building the shoulder; or 2) take the documents approved
and release it for public, sealed bids to construct the second half. He said that they want to
keep the project in the forefront. They are frustrated with the amount of time it has taken to
close out this project.
Town Council Regular Meeting of May 19, 2020 9 of 12
Councilmember Magazine asked staff if they felt it would be a minor difference if they took
it out for bid. Mr. Weldy said that it is a risk. Right now the market is up and down. He
believes that if they put it out to public bid, because of the competition available, it would be
in the best interest of the community. It does not mean that they would have to select them.
Staff was asked what the time difference was between the two options. Mr. Weldy said that
they are minimal. it will be two months no matter what they do. They would not come back
with it until the fall, probably in September. He said that they already have a bid packet,
they just need to advertise. He said that even if they went with direct select, they may not
be ready before the Council break.
Councilmember Brown suggested that they put in on the streets.
Mr. Weldy said that the first phase is tied to this section, but there would be no ADOT or
federal funding involved in this phase. Those funds would be used for the project manager.
It could be 18-24 months before they see any refund. He said that right now they are saying
it is around $70,000, but staff believes it is considerably higher.
Councilmember Brown asked if they would have the funds available if they go through this
process. Mr. Miller said that they will be using HURF funding along with the recent
proceeds from the Fire Station.
Councilmember Brown asked if this would take away from repairing streets throughout
town. Mr. Miller said that his preference would be to use the capital funds. Mr. Weldy
agreed.
MOVED BY Councilmember Dennis Brown, SECONDED BY Councilmember Alan
Magazine to direct staff to prepare a sealed bid package and award a contract to construct
the shoulder widening improvements.
Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
F.DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF regarding the approval of the 2020
Ten Year Pavement Management Program.
ITEM REMOVED FROM AGENDA
G.DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION relating to any item included in the League of
Arizona Cities and Towns’ weekly Legislative Bulletin(s) or relating to any action proposed or
pending before the State Legislature.
Mr. Lunsford joined the meeting telephonically to give an update of what is happening
legislatively. He said that the Senate met last Thursday and sent a message to the House
that they were ready to adjourn. The House, in turn, met today and had committee
meetings last week , with more scheduled this week. He said that the notion is that
legislative bills would be COVID related directly or indirectly and there approximately 60 of
them. They will not by amended so they can go directly to the Governor.
Mr. Lunsford said that they have been tracking the short-term rental bill. It has died as far
as they know, but they will continue to keep an eye out. He said that Representatives
Kavanagh and Farnsworth are introducing legislation regarding civil liability for people who
have violated the Executive Orders or who may violate them. He said that it states that
Town Council Regular Meeting of May 19, 2020 10 of 12
have violated the Executive Orders or who may violate them. He said that it states that
anyone charged with or convicted of a violation during an emergency declaration would pay
a $100 civil penalty, rather than the current fee which is much higher. It also prohibits a
Town from suspending or revoking business licenses of a business found in violation. He
said that it also expands the liability immunity that if a person gets COVID they will not be
able to take an action against schools, individuals, businesses, churches, nonprofits, etc.
There is also a version from Senator Leach that would expand that to governmental
agencies and health care providers and that is the one the League supports.
He said that in order to become effective immediately, it would require a 2/3 vote from each
chamber. If it passes without the emergency it would become effective 90 days after the
session ends, assuming the Governor signs it.
Mayor Dickey asked if the first bill referenced would include a civil penalty of $100 for
violation of any Executive Order in the future. Mr. Lunsford said that as he reads it, he
believes they are going to restrict it in session law, so it would only be effective during this
time. He said that no one outside the Legislature has seen the exact language.
On the federal level, there are efforts for the next round of federal stimulus relief. He said
that the US House passed a $3 trillion bill past Friday, and the ball is now in the Senate's
court. He said that he did see some publication earlier that there are some bipartisan
efforts to move that forward.
Mr. Lunsford said that transportation is important and in Arizona he is a member of the
Transportation Business Partners, a group of advocates for transportation, roads, highways
and transit. He said that group has evolved into the Arizona Coalition for Transportation
Infrastructure with over 41 organizations in the group. He said that they have come forward
with a one-page document and letter in which they are asking as many organizations as
possible to communicate to their delegation to: 1) move forward the COVID economic
stimulus; and 2) fast track the transportation reauthorization at the federal level.
With regard to HURF funding which funds the roads in Arizona, they were originally
estimated at a $500 million shortfall. As of last Friday, it is now estimated at a $711 million
shortfall.
He said that many agencies are reducing their budgets by up to 15%. Today he was a
Zoom Meeting with Senator McSally and about 50 others, and they talked about the grants
available for local governments and the need for greater flexibility and waivers for the
matching requirements to be extended.
He asked the Council to consider supporting the Arizona delegation in support of additional
transportation infrastructure, for not only the state but down to the towns.
Mayor Dickey said that they would look at his letter and would support it as the Town relies
on HURF funds. She asked him to keep the Council posted on any changes.

ITEM 7. B.
TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 06/02/2020 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Consent Submitting Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Randy Harrel, Town Engineer
Staff Contact Information: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF
Resolution 2020-30, renaming Del Cambre Court to Mirage Heights Court; renaming Del Cambre Court
West to Mirage Heights Court West; changing the applicable street addresses within the Mirage Heights
subdivision, and waiving the fee.
Staff Summary (background)
The Mirage Heights Association's Board of Directors has requested that the Town rename the streets
and re-assign the 33 applicable street addresses (for eight four-plex condominium units plus the
community swimming pool) in that community. "Del Cambre Court" will be renamed "Mirage Heights
Court" and "Del Cambre Court West" will be renamed "Mirage Heights Court West". Normally, Town
staff will re-address a single property upon an acceptable request from that property owner (with a fee
of $25 for the address change). However, in this case, there are 2 street name changes relating to 33
properties plus any applicable large utility boxes will need to be re-addressed, (from having an address
on Grande Blvd. to having an address on Mirage Heights Court or on Mirage Heights Court West).
Due to the street name changes (and due to the size and scope of this property re-addressing), staff has
prepared this item as a Town Council consent agenda item. Following approval of this, or of any other
street renaming/ re-addressing, sStaff (CADD/GIS Technician Ken Valverde) will notify in writing all
affected entities (utility companies, public safety agencies, County Assessor, Post Office, other affected
governmental agencies, etc.) of the street name and address changes.
Staff normally has not supported street names differentiated only by the ending directional suffix (e.g
".... West"). However, in this case, the existing street names already have that issue. Since the streets
are short, the residences are all within a single HOA, and that HOA had initially requested this change.
The proposed address changes are shown on the attached map. (Note: Due to a 1995 platting issue, the
streets within the Mirage Heights subdivision - Del Cambre Court and Del Cambre Court West - had been
much later deeded to the Town via Town Council action and Quit Claim Deeds from all the units in the
Mirage Heights subdivision (MCR 20190033084).) Since this addressing change is a logical outgrowth of
the Council's street right-of-way acquisition action, staff also recommends waiver of the fees relating to
this action.
Upon approval of these address changes, the Mirage Heights HOA and/or the individual property
owners will need to change their addresses at their gang mailboxes, and to make the needed changes on
the building wall addresses. Town staff will need to install new street name signage clearly depicting
these new street names.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle
N/A
Risk Analysis
The HOA has requested this re-addressing to reduce existing confusion regarding the street locations of
these buildings. Not approving this re-addressing will continue the current situation.
Recommendation(s) by Board(s) or Commission(s)
N/A
Staff Recommendation(s)
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2020-30, changing the street names and addresses within the
Mirage Heights subdivision, and of waiving any fee.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 06/02/2020 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Consent Submitting Department: Community Services
Prepared by: Jamie Salentine, Executive Assistant
Staff Contact Information: Rachael Goodwin, Community Services Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF Resolution
2020-31 approving an Intergovernmental Agreement with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control
(Contract C2019-011) for July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, in the amount $21,688.
Staff Summary (Background)
Chapter 6 of the Town Code authorizes the Town of Fountain Hills to regulate animals within the town.
Complaints regarding unlicensed dogs are enforced by Code Enforcement and barking dog complaints
are enforced by Law Enforcement (MCSO). Through an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), the County
responds to calls for service from the town for dog bites, stray dogs, leash law violations, etc. The
existing IGA expires on June 30, 2020, and staff is recommending renewal for July 1, 2020, through June
30, 2021. The annual cost for animal control services from Maricopa County is $21,668.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle
Ordinance 18-05; Town Code Chapter.
Risk Analysis
Animcal control is a critical service which is contracted out with Maricopa County at a very low cost
annually. While the Town of Fountain Hills could provide this service itself, the additional cost impacts
for staffing, training, liability insurance, and other operating costs would far outweigh the annual cost
through Maricopa County Animal Control.
Recommendation(s) by Board(s) or Commission(s)

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 06/02/2020 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Consent Submitting Department: Administration
Prepared by: James Smith, Economic Development Director
Staff Contact Information: James Smith, Economic Development Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF authorizing
staff to apply for tourism-related grants administered by the Arizona Office of Tourism (AOT), Salt River
Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) and Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation to support marketing
and promotion initiatives of Fountain Hills.
Staff Summary (Background)
The Town of Fountain Hills has applied for and been granted funding through the Arizona Office of
Tourism (AOT), Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) and Fort McDowell Yavapai
Nation (FMYN) over the past several years. The grant funds have primarily been used to supplement
Town General Fund allocations in order to enhance branding and advertising campaigns to support
tourism.
The Town's current fiscal year allocation from the AOT was originally estimated at approximately
$36,395. However, the current estimate is that the allocation will be reduced to $34,168 due to
reduced revenue collections. The Town has utilized these grant funds for advertising in Phoenix
Magazine, a Phoenix area map, a Cactus League newspaper insert, the State's Official Visitor's Guide and
for the production of and display of a video at Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport, among other initiatives.
Based on AOT estimates for Fiscal Year 2020-21, it is anticipated that the Town's allocation will be
reduced significantly to approximately $16,000. It is anticipated that the Town will apply to utilize the
allocated funds for marketing projects similar to those listed above.
During the current fiscal year, the Town received an allocation of $30,000 from the SRPMIC. The Town
utilized $5,000 for advertising at Salt River Fields during Diamondbacks' Spring Training games. The
remaining funds were to be used for the Town's Music Fest which has been postponed due to
COVID-19. Staff is currently attempting to determine with SRPMIC representatives if the grant funds
can be carried over in order to market and promote Music Fest when it can be rescheduled. Staff
submitted a letter to SRPMIC in January indicating our intent to apply for grant funding in the coming
fiscal year, and with Council approval will continue with that process.
The Town received an allocation of $10,000 from the FMYN during the current fiscal year, which was
primarily used for marketing related to the Waste Management Phoenix Open, including a hole
sponsorship and an advertisement in the official program. Council has already been provided a copy of
the Town's FMYN application for $10,000, which was submitted prior to this memo due to the timeline
for their process. While the Town requested an amount similar to its allocation from this fiscal year, the
2020-21 Proposed Budget has been adjusted to account for the potential that reduced gaming revenues
will have a corresponding impact on grant revenues.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle
Town of Fountain Hills Adopted Grant Policy
Risk Analysis
If approval to apply for these Tourism-related grants is not provided, staff will not be able to execute
many of the marketing and promotion initiatives which are described above. It is important to note that
tourism and gaming activities provide the funding for these grants, so that even with the submittal and
approval of our grant applications, the level of grant funding the Town receives next fiscal year will
likely be significantly reduced.
In addition, if Town revenues are significantly impacted in Fiscal Year 2020-21, it will be increasingly
important to secure funding for tourism initiatives from other agencies and organizations.
Recommendation(s) by Board(s) or Commission(s)
N/A
Staff Recommendation(s)
Staff recommends Town Council approval to allow staff to apply for tourism-related grants to support
the marketing and promotion efforts of the Town.
SUGGESTED MOTION
MOVE to authorize submittal of Tourism-related grant applications with the Arizona Office of Tourism,
Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community and Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and to authorize Town
to accept and utilize the grant funds in a manner consistent with the grant requirements.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF a request
for a Special Use Permit to allow operation of a hospital between 11 pm and 7 am on an approximately
5.74 acre parcel generally located at the northwest corner of N. Saguaro Boulevard and E. Trevino Drive
(AKA 9700 N. Saguaro Boulevard; APN # 176-10-811) in the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial and
Professional Zoning District. Continued to June 16, 2020. SU 2020-01.
Staff Summary (Background)
In 2019 the property owner submitted a request to rezone this 5.74 acre tract to C-2 (Intermediate
Commercial) to establish a hospital on the property. Hospitals are not a specifically listed use in the
Town's Zoning Ordinance. At the public hearing on the requested rezoning, the Council determined the
hospital use could be classified as a C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial and Professional) use rather thn
rezone the property to C-2. The C-1 zoning district requires all businesses to be closed between 11 pm
and 7 am unless the Council approves a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow extended hours.
The property owner submitted the request for the SUP earlier this year. The request has drawn
significant neighborhood questions and concerns. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the
application at their regular meeting on May 11, 2020. Based on the input received, the Commission
continued the case to their regular meeting on June 8, 2020. Therefore, this case needs to be continued
by the Council until after the P&Z Commission takes action. Therefore, this case is being continued to
the Council's June 16, 2020, meeting.

The Fountain Hills General Plan
The Fountain Hills General Plan is the primary overarching
policy for the Town of Fountain Hills. The General Plan has a
major impact on the future of the Town by setting forth
guiding policies for governance in many areas of Town
responsibility that will influence future development and
redevelopment within the Town’s corporate boundary.
Authority and direction to plan come from the Arizona
Revised Statutes, expressly the Growing Smarter and
Growing Smarter Plus Acts, as amended. This General Plan
adheres to all applicable federal and state laws. The
direction included in this plan applies to new development,
redevelopment and infill. The General Plan directives do not
apply to entitlements existing at the time of adoption of this
General Plan which have already been approved by the
Town and are therefore grandfathered.
Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) 9-461.06 requires that all
municipalities in Arizona update their existing general plan
every ten years. Such updates ensure that the general plan
complies with all applicable requirements included in
Arizona Revised Statutes 9-461.05.
The Fountain Hills General Plan Update 2020 complies with all applicable Arizona Revised Statutes. More
importantly, the plan incorporates other Town of Fountain Hills efforts such as Vision Fountain Hills and
the 2017 Strategic Plan to ensure that such efforts are integrated with Town needs and community
aspirations. The Arizona Revised Statutes also require the Town to submit this adopted General Plan to
the voters for ratification.
The Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 2020 manages growth in a manner consistent with the
community’s vision through its ten-year planning horizon. It guides decisions by establishing goals and
policies that balance maintenance of existing and developing neighborhoods, economic development and
conservation of resources. The General Plan provides the basis for new development while supporting the
quality of life that makes the Town distinct. The plan includes the vision, goals and policy framework
identified during the community outreach process. It addresses specific community needs and aspirations.
Under State law, actions on private land development, such as Specific Plans, Area Plans, rezonings,
subdivisions, public agency projects and other decisions must be consistent with the General Plan ratified
by the voters.
2
Ability to Adapt to Change
The Fountain Hills General Plan is based on community values and an understanding of existing and
projected conditions and needs, all of which are subject to change. The General Plan amendment process
established by the Arizona Revised Statutes allows maps and written policy statements to be changed.
The General Plan is a policy document for the entire Town and may be amended in a manner that supports
the community’s interest.
The Fountain Hills General Plan provides a decision-making framework for Town elected and appointed
officials and staff to guide future growth, development, redevelopment and infill and maintain the public
infrastructure and services needed to support existing and future needs. Over time, unanticipated or
unforeseen changes in economy, technology, environment, demographics, transportation systems, and
other factors may occur. General Plan updates and major, minor, and administrative amendments allow
the Town to address such changes. The Administration Chapter of the General Plan defines these
administrative tools and describes their respective processes.
The General Plan Implementation chapter includes the Implementation Strategy to carry out the goals
and policies identified in this General Plan and serves as the primary mechanism for General Plan
implementation. The General Plan implementation actions will be utilized in conjunction with the Town
Council’s annual priority-setting efforts, including the Strategic Plan, the Capital Improvements Program,
and the Town’s Operating Budget. As priorities change, the Implementation Strategy will be updated. This
approach provides an easy-to-use reference guide for the Town to monitor progress and evaluate
priorities on an annual basis.

About Fountain Hills
The Town of Fountain Hills (Town) is located in the northeast portion of the Phoenix Valley and is bordered
by the McDowell Mountain Regional Park within Maricopa County. The Town is east of the City of
Scottsdale, north of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and west of the Fort McDowell
Yavapai Nation. One of Fountain Hills’ most valuable assets is its natural beauty. The Town’s scenic views
and desert terrain provide for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, and golf in
support of healthy lifestyles. Fountain Hills contains some of the more challenging and picturesque golf
courses in the State of Arizona. Its dark skies provide opportunities for star gazing.
The landforms that comprise the Town are characterized by low ridgelines and wash corridors that were
originally home to Native Americans. Archaeological studies have identified the area around the Fort
McDowell Yavapai Indian Nation as a major center of Hohokam-Salado occupation from approximately
100 to 1450 A.D. Petroglyphs and lithic remains have been found in both McDowell Mountain Regional
Park and in the surveyed portions of the former State Trust land on the northeast area of the Town.
Fountain Hills was named by Phoenix Magazine as the best place to live in the Valley of the Sun and was
cited as "a welcome oasis on the outskirts of a metropolis." The small-town charm, lakeside, Town Center,
relaxed desert lifestyle, lush desert landscapes and diverse landforms, public art, and an idyllic location at
the foothills of a picturesque mountain setting overlooking Fountain Park, making Fountain Hills an oasis.
A step away from the bustling Phoenix Metropolitan area, Fountain Hills’ aesthetics and natural desert
setting create a desirable environment for a variety of lifestyles. Artists, professionals, retirees, singles,
new families, and permanent and seasonal residents call this world apart home.

Fountain Hills Overarching Principle
One overarching principle supports Fountain Hills’ Vision: Carefully and thoughtfully integrating
neighborhoods, environment (built, natural and social) and economy to maintain a thriving community.
This principle seamlessly brings together the places we live, work, shop, go to school, and recreate in a
viable and sustainable manner.

Environment Economy

The Fountain Hills General Plan Approach
The Fountain Hills General Plan structure exceeds all applicable requirements of section 9-461.05 (General
plans; authority; scope) of the Arizona Revised Statutes while addressing all its components in an
integrated manner:
Thriving Neighborhoods addresses housing, neighborhood preservation/revitalization, neighborhood-scale
amenities and neighborhood safety to support healthy, complete, and vibrant neighborhoods,
Thriving Environment integrates all aspects of the built, social, and natural environments by carefully
knitting growth areas, infill, redevelopment and revitalization, place-based land use utilizing a character
areas approach, connectivity, access and mobility supporting circulation for all travel modes, parks,
recreation, trails, and open space, resource protection, energy conservation, air and water quality,
infrastructure and public services in a cohesive manner as integral parts of Fountain Hills,
Thriving Economy supports a strategic economic development approach to achieve the long-range viability
of the Town and provides specific mechanisms to finance new development.
Town of Fountain Hills Growth Areas
Growth areas are identified based on land ownership, topography, hydrology, vacant land, and
infrastructure availability or anticipated cost of providing needed infrastructure. This planning
approach includes short-term and long-range growth strategies and directs development to those areas
of the Town with the largest tracts of undeveloped lands. These areas include:
The Canyons Character Area (short-term strategy)
State Trust Land (long-range strategy)
9
Character Areas
The map on page 10 depicts the Character Areas for Fountain Hills. To maintain a thriving community,
the Fountain Hills General Plan utilizes these Character Areas to organize land uses in a way that
reinforces and maintains the character of each portion of the Town. The character areas and their
opportunities for redevelopment, revitalization and infill include:
Neighborhoods: Residential areas throughout the Town, along with associated non-residential uses such
as schools, parks, churches, offices, with opportunities for continued development, maintenance, and infill.
Town Center: Located along the Avenue of the Fountains and envisioned as a vibrant walkable and bikeable
mixed-used district, the Town Center functions as the heart of the Town and includes Fountain Park, Civic
Center (Town Hall, Community Center, Library) and Visitor’s Center. The Town Center includes infill
opportunities for mixed-use, residential, retail, business, entertainment, and services. Reconfiguration of
underutilized surface parking could open more areas for development.
Commerce Center: Located east of Fountain Hills Boulevard, Commerce Center is bounded on the north
by Palisades Boulevard, on the south by Keith McMahan Drive and Avenue of the Fountains and on the
east by the Town Center. Within walking distance from the Town Center, this character area in cludes two
significant commercial areas and higher density multifamily residential, Fountain View Village, a mixed-use
independent and assisted living community (ranked as one of the top ten retirement communities in
Arizona), and general commercial uses. The Plan is to continue this mix of uses while working to improve
walkability within the area and to the surrounding areas.
Shea Corridor: Functions as the main gateway to Fountain Hills from State Route 87 and includes an
industrial park along Technology Drive. Shea Corridor is envisioned as a commerce and employment
corridor serving residents and welcoming visitors. Although it includes few infill parcels, reconfigur ing
underutilized commercial development would open additional opportunities for revenue -generating and
employment uses further supporting the long-range viability of the Town. The strategic location of this
center with access to State Route 87 in proximity to resort and gaming facilities at the Fort McDowell
Yavapai Nation could support economic development partnerships with the Nation.
Saguaro Boulevard: Primarily a commercial corridor, this area includes few significant parcels for
commercial/retail infill along Saguaro Boulevard as well as redevelopment opportunities.

Revenue Assumptions
•Transaction Privilege Tax
–Revenues were not included for nearly-completed
Copperwynd expansion or the Keystone project
–Recent increase in TPT rate accounts for nearly all of the
expected increase in revenue for FY21
•State Shared Revenue
–Estimates were received in mid-March
–Revised estimates are expected soon for State TPT, VLT,
and HURF revenues
•15% reduction in State Shared TPT & VLT would equate
to approximately $500K loss in General Fund revenue

Expenditure Considerations
•Contingency
–$1.7M included in General Government for FY21
–Provides budget authority if revenues are received
–Council must approve transfer to a different Dept.
•Expenditures excluding Contingency
–$17.0M for current FY vs. $17.5M for next FY
•Technology Replacement Fund established
–New annual charge to Departments and Divisions
–Charges based on number of FTEs

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF Ordinance
20-06, amending Sections 12-3-18 and 12-3-19 pertaining to citations and penalties for parking
violations.
Staff Summary (background)
Chapter 12 of the Town Code covers a variety of traffic issues. Article 12-3 is on parking. Section
12-3-18, Commencement of Proceedings for Violations, provides the requirements for how to handle
violations. Section 12-3-18 A states: "An action to hear and determine an alleged violation of this article
shall be commenced by issuance of a citation by a peace officer of the State of Arizona or the Town
Manager or his authorized designee." Because the ordinance uses the word "shall," it does not give the
officers responding to a complaint any alternatives on how to address the situation. Staff is proposing
to change the wording to "may." This will allow the officer to use discretion in the given situation,
including allowing the owner to immediately correct the violation.
Section 12-3-19, Penalties, is very similar to the previous section. This section states: "Unless otherwise
specifically designated in this Article, violations of this Article shall be punishable as set forth in
Chapter 1 , Article 1-8, Section 1-8-3 of this Code. Each day that a violation continues shall be a separate
offense punishable by imposition of a civil sanction not to exceed $250." By stating the violation "shall"
be punishable in a specific way the ordinance does not leave the option for reduced or no punishment
for someone who is being cooperative in correcting a violation. Staff is recommending the wording in
this section also be changed to "may."

Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Development Services
Prepared by: John Wesley, Development Services Director
Staff Contact Information: John Wesley, Development Services Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF Ordinance
20-07, amending the Subdivision Ordinance by adding Section 2.08 C. to allow administrative approval
of abandonment of hillside protection easements; amending Section 5.02 C.2 to clarify applicability of
the driveway exemption; and, amending Section 5.04 B. adding a new subsection 4 allowing
administrative approval of exemptions to the hillside disturbance requirements of Section 5.04.
Staff Summary (background)
At the December 3, 2019, Town Council meeting, staff presented a report to the Council regarding
options to address concerns with the current hillside protection ordinances and procedures. Staff had
been asked to look into and provide Council with feedback and recommendations on three items. Those
items were:
Should the Town make any modifications to the easement requirements?1.
How should the Town handle requests for abandonment of existing easements?2.
Should the Town continue charging an application fee for processing an abandonment?3.
As a result of that presentation and Council discussion, staff was directed to draft and propose
Subdivision Ordinance text amendments to provide additional flexibility in the application of the hillside
protection ordinance and to enable staff to approve abandonment of Hillside Protection Easements. In
response to Council direction, staff has drafted proposed text amendments for review and consideration
by the Town Council.
Proposed Ordinance Modifications
Disturbance Areas:
One of the challenges staff, property owners, and builders face is how to meet the hillside protection
ordinance requirements on atypical lots. As more of the "easier" lots are developed, the remaining lots
often have more challenges such as the degree of slope, the location of the steep slopes, and lot
configuration. These factors combined with the ordinance requirements for hillside protection and lot
setbacks make it very difficult to build on some lots. To address this problem, staff has drafted two
solutions.
Hillside protection occurs in one of two ways. One is through the filing of the Hillside Protection
Easement which is done all at one time for an entire subdivision or on a lot-by-lot basis. The other
option is the Hillside Transfer and Protection option, which sets aside a disturbance allowance for each
lot and often has a "bank" of additional disturbance area which is transferred to a given lot as needed.
Section 5.02 C 2 of the ordinance currently provides an exemption for driveways in the calculation of
the disturbance area. Because of the place and the way the paragraph is written it is not clear if this
provision applies only to lots with a Hillside Protection Easement or if it also applies in the case of
Hillside Transfer and Protection option. The first proposed change is to amend this section to add a
sentence to make it clear this exception applies in both situations.
The revised Section 5.02 C. 2. would read: A 20' wide band of primary driveway access (measured from
the back of curb to the nearest point of intersection with any portion of the house, the garage door or a
carport or covered driveway, if any) is excluded from the hillside disturbance limitations whether done
by the Hillside Protection Easement Option or the Hillside Transfer and Protection Option.
The other proposed modification is to specifically address the challenges caused by the more difficult
lots. Section 5.04 A. of the Subdivision Ordinance sets the standard to protect at least 60% of the area
of the lot with a 20% or greater slope from development. Section 5.04 B. lists some exemptions from
this requirement. Staff is proposing to add a new number 4 to the list. This new exemption would state:
4. The Development Services Director may consider additional exemptions to or modifications of
the disturbance area required by Section 5.04 when, in the determination of the Development
Services Director, the specific situations of the lot (lot configuration, steep slope on the lot
adjacent to the street, location of appropriate building site, etc.) make development of the
specific lot impractical under the provisions of this ordinance. The relief allowed shall be the
minimum necessary to facilitate construction on the property.
Easement Abandonment:
Another concern expressed by Council at the December 3, 2019, meeting was addressing Hillside
Protection Easement abandonment requests. There are many lots which have easements based on
previous ordinance requirements that have been changed and no longer apply. Owners of these lots file
for and staff processes the request for the abandonment to Council. Because of the routine nature of
these requests, the delay to the property owner to go through the process to Council, and the
additional staff and Council time it takes to review the requests, Council asked staff to see if the
abandonments could be approved administratively.
Article 2 of the Subdivision Ordinance sets forth the Platting Procedures. Section 2.08 provides the
requirements for abandonment of a recorded subdivision. Staff is proposing to add a new subsection to
Section 2.08 which states:
C. Applications for abandonment of all or a portion of a recorded Hillside Protection Easement as
required in Section 5.04 of this ordinance may be reviewed and approved by the Development
Services Director for easements which would not be required under the current Subdivision
Ordinance.
This language will allow for the Development Services Director to administratively approve these
easement abandonments.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 06/02/2020 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Staff Contact Information: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION
OF authorizing the Town Manager to administratively approve a contract to make emergency
repairs to the Panorama storm drainpipe.
Staff Summary (Background)
The Panorama Drive Storm Drain was originally constructed in 1988 (pre-incorporation) by MCO
Properties, as a part of the Panorama Drive Paving Improvements project. The storm drain is
approximately 3000' long, and is primarily 48" diameter pipe, with 66" diameter pipe at the downstream
two reaches.
Dry weather flows have frequently been noted in the channel downstream from this pipe outlet,
although the cause(s) of those flows has never been clearly identified. However, those flows indicate
the likelihood of drainage flow through this pipe's trench bedding and/or backflow. Water adjacent to a
metallic pipe vastly increases its corrosion potential. In 2015-16, the Town's contractor cleaned this pipe
(which had been half-filled with sediment) over a 2-year period.
In January 2020, a 6' x 3' surface sinkhole (and later a second sinkhole) was noted near this pipe. Upon
excavating at that location, staff discovered that the pipe invert (bottom) had been corroded away and
that there was a large hole above the pipe for about a 20' length. Staff had the Town's contractor
remove/replace those sections of pipe and compact the backfill.
Between the date of those surface failures, staff had Ames Companies perform a camera inspection of
the full length of the Panorama Drive storm drain, to determine the lengths and severity of the pipe
corrosion. The camera inspection showed numerous locations of missing pipe invert, corroded pipe
areas, and substantial areas of missing bituminous lining (asphalt coating) in addition to needing to skip
over several failing pipe invert lengths. Since the extent of erosion over many segments of pipe, a
nonstructural slip-lining of the pipe was not feasible. Consulting with several pipe contractors, staff
determined that the full mainline pipe needed to be replaced with corrosion resistant pipe material.
Public Works Director Justin Weldy presented this situation to the Town Council at a work session, with
Council consensus to proceed with engineering design. Wood, Patel prepared a proposal for the
engineering work to design and prepare the bid documents for the removal/replacement of the
engineering work to design and prepare the bid documents for the removal/replacement of the
Panorama Drive storm drain main line with precast reinforced concrete pipe.
All costs will be paid from the Capital Improvements Project Fund, which contains an amount of
$2,150,000 requested in the proposed FY20-21 Capital Improvement Program Budget. The design and
construction schedule shows the project to be released for bid on July 1,2020, and the bid opening on
July 29, 2020.
Due to the emergency nature of the situation and possible higher repair costs if further damage occurs
or erodes the area around the drain pipe, staff is requesting authorization for the Town Manager to
approve the contract administratively with the successful bidder. It is important to note that while the
Town Manager plans to return to the Town Council for ratification of his approval of the contract at the
August 24, 2020, meeting, repair work will likely occur on the project shortly after Town Manager
approves the contract. Therefore, it is recommended that the Town Council authorize the Town
Manager to administratively approve the contract for the Panorama storm drain pipe repairs with an
amount not to exceed the engineer's estimate for the project. If the bids exceed this limit, then the
award of the contract will be taken to the Town Council for its consideration and possible approval.
