4. REPORTS BY MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS AND TOWN MANAGER
Town Manager Grady Miller reported that for the last several weeks the Fire Chief has
been working with the County on the pandemic and trying to secure a vaccination clinic in
Fountain Hills. He said that they will be finalizing the dates within the next few days, and it
will be held in the interior public area of the Community Center. They hope to provide 200
of the J & J vaccinations.
He reminded everyone that next week there would be a public open house on the 2022
proposed budget and the following evening the Town Council will be holding their budget
workshop.
Councilmember Scharnow said that the Fountain Hills Coalition's 9th Annual Essay
Contest was held at the high school last week, and they will be honoring 17 students at an
awards ceremony. He said that they were really great essays, and it was good to see
positive news coming forward. They were able to have a live function with parents and
students.
He said that he announced the other week that they were able to obtain some Narcon
which was handed out by the Fire Department to counteract opioid overdoses. They have
given out at least seven, and they have ordered more to give to the Chief. He also
reported that at the high school they converted a storage room into a Team Room with
many contributors involved.
He also reported that he held a rummage sale that had a tremendous turnout, and he did

not have to put up one sign.
Councilmember Grzybowski reported that she attended the Greater Phoenix Economic
Council's quarterly board meeting, and she was privileged to be the Council's
representative. She said that she recently toured the Fountain Hills Medical Center two
times, attended the League's legislative updates virtually, and received her second
COVID shot, which her husband administered to her.
Mayor Dickey reported that she attended the Valley Metro meeting, and they talked about
the ARP distribution details to come and Prop 400. She also said that the Urban Land
Institute had a good interview with Fort McDowell's President Bernadine Burnette. She
attended the MAG Regional Council Meeting. The Arizona -Sonoran Regional Council is a
council of local elected officials from Arizona Sonora who work with all levels of
government and the business community to increase dialogue and strengthen
cross -border economic development, which was set up by MAG.
She attended an event to honor Vietnam Veterans, as well as events for the YWCA and
United Way. She said that she attended the recent farewell to the Community Center
Manager Mike Fenzel. She wished him well and said that he would be missed.
A. PROCLAMATION declaring April 6, 2021, as Golden Rule Day.
Mayor Dickey said that she received a request from some folks, and she asked the
Community Services Program Coordinator Kade Nelson, along with members of the
Mayor's Youth Council, if they would like to take it on as one of their projects. The youth
reached out to Larry Fultz with the Arizona Interfaith Alliance, and he sent an invitation to
the Town to become a Golden Rule Community.
She then read the proclamation and invited representatives of the group to come forward
to say a few words.
Mr. Nelson came forward and said that they were hoping that Larry could join them this
evening. He said that there was a total of nine members of the Mayor's Youth Council and
they are very ambitious and want to be involved in bettering the town in which they live.
He said that one of the projects they chose to do was the Mental Health Campaign. He
said that they are joining eight other communities in Arizona, and it was a great honor.
Councilmember Magazine said that the Youth Council has been a tremendous support to
the Town.
5. SCHEDULED PUBLIC APPEARANCES/PRESENTATIONS
A. RECOGNITION and award of grants related to the Fountain Hills and Republic Services

Mr. Miller said that he was pleased to host Republic Services, who has provided $10,000
a year in the way of a grant for nonprofits in the community. He said that in 2020 they did
not award any grants, so this year they have $20,000 available. He asked Mr. Smith to
come forward to help assist in presentation of the checks.
Mr. Smith recognized in the audience David Hamblin with Republic Services and Stephen

8. REGULAR AGENDA
A. CONSIDERATION OF approving the Desert Vista Crosswalk Design Concept.
Public Works Director Justin Weldy introduced Kim Carroll of Kimley Horn Engineering, a
registered professional civil engineer, who gave a PowerPoint presentation which
addressed:
PROJECT BACKGROUND
OVERVIEW OF 30% DESIGN CONCEPT
PLAN VIEW RENDERINGS OF DESIGN CONCEPT
STREET VIEW RENDERING OF DESIGN CONCEPT
NEXT STEPS
Councilmember McMahon asked if there was any type of curb or fencing in the median
that would keep people from wandering off of the area. Ms. Carroll said that it was not in
the design at this time, but it could be considered, perhaps with a vertical curb.
Councilmember Friedel asked if the crosswalk could be moved up so it was even with the
side street, rather than in the middle of the block. Ms. Carroll said they did look at that, but
due to the grade being so steep, they could not be ADA compliant.
Councilmember Scharnow asked if they could also address the landings when they get to
Town Council Regular Meeting of April 6, 2021
5 of 8
the service drive, and if there could be a foot railing or something. Ms. Carroll said that
they did not have an elevation view, but there is a slight retaining wall at that location. Mr.
Weldy added that going from the south side there will be a raised curb.
Mayor Dickey asked if there were concerns with the street lights being probably 18 feet
high causing a conflict with dark skies. Mr. Weldy said that if they face any challenges,
they can shield the lights.
Councilmember Magazine said that when they looked at solar lighting on the Avenue they
found that with the heat they do not last long. Mr. Weldy said that this is a new system and
will only be storing energy in a battery; it is a different application, and the only one
approved by the FHA.
Councilmember Magazine asked if this was on the approved 2021 capital listing and in
this year's budget. Mr. Weldy said that it was not in the first six months, but it was
reauthorized in December to move forward. It is in the CIP budget for this year and a
percentage in next year's budget.
MOVED BY Councilmember Sharron Grzybowski, SECONDED BY Councilmember Mike
Scharnow to direct staff to proceed with the final design of the Desert Vista Crosswalk.
Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
B. PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF Ordinance 21-04, amending Zoning
Ordinance Chapter 5, General Provisions, Section 5.09, Walls and Fences, subsection A.
2. regarding provisions for golf ball fences.
Mayor Dickey opened the public hearing.
Development Services Director John Wesley said that the current code allows for golf
nets (fencing) to be installed on properties around the golf courses, but it requires a
special use permit. He said that they have routinely been approved, and the last time the
Town Council recommended that they be approved administratively. If someone does not
meet the restrictions, then they could apply for a special use permit.
Councilmember Magazine asked where the 25 foot limit came from. Mr. Wesley said that
is what is the code currently. He said that the maximum height he could support would be
30 feet.
Vice Mayor Spelich said that he has been contacted by a resident who said that the
current code allows them on the side or back yards, but with the way their house is
situated, they need one on their front yard for the driving range. Mr. Wesley said that he
would have to take a look at it, but he would have concerns with them being permitted in
the front yards. He said that it would be best if the golf course put it on their property. Vice
Mayor Spelich said that he does not want to approve this if it would limit those residents.
Mr. Wesley said that approving this would still allow them to come before the Council if
they did not meet the code.
Councilmember Scharnow said that he was not sure that he would want to see them go to
30 feet. He asked if there is any notification of the neighbors required. Mr. Wesley said
that if it met this requirement, no notice would be required.
Town Council Regular Meeting of April 6, 2021
6 of 8
Mayor Dickey asked if things that are administratively approved can be appealed to the
Council. Mr. Arnson said that it would depend on what is being done, but they may be
able to go through the Board of Adjustment.
There being no public input, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
MOVED BY Councilmember Sharron Grzybowski, SECONDED BY Vice Mayor David
Spelich to adopt Ordinance 21-04.
Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
C. DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE CONSIDERATION 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. Miller said that there was not a lot of activity; there were only four or five bills he
wanted to share with the Council. They were:
SB1146 - He said that this is the bill that removes the sales tax on vehicles being
purchased for out of state use, and the Town Council previously took a position to oppose
the bill. The League has been working diligently to try and get it killed.
HB2049 - This is the bill geared at punishing some cities where the Legislature did not
like how they were handling condemnation. They are working on an amendment, but he
has not seen it.
HB2190 - This bill is related to a vaccine passport. He said that the impacts are so broad;
it would prohibit the state or counties from coming up with a COVID vaccine passport.
The intent was meant for something else, but it could be interpreted badly. He said that if
a government employer wanted to incentivize employees, they would be prohibited from
doing that. Mayor Dickey said that they could not give them an extra hour at lunch to go
get it. It could have to do with healthy living rewards.
MOVED BY Councilmember Alan Magazine, SECONDED BY Councilmember Sharron
Grzybowski to oppose this bill.
Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
HB2668 - Homelessness and using state property for camping. He said that it broadly
describes municipal property. It may sound like a good tool, but it actually criminalizes
street camping, and it may take away resources from the Town. He said that the intent
was to try and address the issue, but they think it goes too far and takes away flexibility.
Mayor Dickey said that it is unconstitutional. When they do not allow camping, they have
to have an alternative, and nothing is close enough to offer. She said that the Institute did
not even talk to anyone who may have suggestions related to homelessness.
MOVED BY Councilmember Peggy McMahon, SECONDED BY Councilmember Mike
Scharnow to oppose this bill.
Town Council Regular Meeting of April 6, 2021
7 of 8
Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
SB1379 - Short-term rental. Mr. Miller said that this bill died. Councilmember Magazine
said that people in Sedona are leaving in droves; it is ruining their town. Councilmember
McMahon said that Eagle Mountain voted to prohibit short-term rentals and it passed by
over 75%. Councilmember Magazine asked if that was legal. Mr. Arnson said that it was.
Mr. Miller said that they met with the NPOA Board before and tried to encourage them to
consider this. They believe that some of the bigger ones may consider it, and it may be a
way to address the issue.
Mr. Miller said that the Governor is still talking about a flat tax, which would impact cities
and towns, and under the current proposal it would impact the Town by $1 million a year.
Councilmember Magazine asked about the status of the gun bill. Mr. Miller said that he
has not looked at that one (HB2551). Mayor Dickey noted that in an older report it
indicated that it passed the House and a Senate committee; she was not sure of its
current status.
Mr. Miller noted that the Legislature is more than halfway through its session.
9. COUNCIL DISCUSSION/DIRECTION to the TOWN MANAGER
Item(s) listed below are related only to the propriety of (i) placing such item(s) on a future agenda for action, or
(ii) directing staff to conduct further research and report back to the Council.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF Resolution
2021-09, abandoning the 20' Public Utility and Drainage Easement at the rear of 16955 E Nicklaus Drive.
Staff Summary (Background)
This is a proposal to abandon the pre -incorporation 20' Public Utility and Drainage Easement at the rear
of Plat 401-B, Block 3, Lot 23 (16955 Nicklaus Drive). John Hillmann, the applicant of this request, plans
to construct a new pool and patio within the existing easement.
Staff has reviewed the site to determine potential onsite drainage issues in addition to the Town's
general interest in the easement. There is no need for the Town to retain the drainage easement
proposed to be abandoned, with the understanding that the owner of the lot is required to pass the
developed flows generated by the upstream lots across their property. All public utilities have approved
the abandonment of this easement.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF Resolution
2021-10, abandoning a portion of the 10' Public Utility and Drainage Easement at the Southeast corner
of 17324 E Barnes Drive.
Staff Summary (Background)
This is a proposal to abandon a portion of the pre -incorporation 10' Public Utility and Drainage
Easement at the rear southeast corner of Plat 401-A, Block 6, Lot 8 (17324 E Barnes Dr.). Paul
Janson, the applicant of this request, plans to construct a new block wall fence within the existing
easement, so he can fully utilize the property.
Staff has reviewed the site to determine potential on -site drainage issues in addition to the Town's
general interest in the easement. There is no need for the Town to retain the drainage easement
proposed to be abandoned, with the understanding that the owner of the lot is required to pass the
developed flows generated by the upstream lots across their property. All public utilities have approved
the abandonment of this easement.

Overall Budget Considerations
• Budget authority is not the same as fund balance
• If revenues do not meet expectations, contingency
and/or expenditures must be reduced to maintain
existing fund balance
• Tentative Budget being adopting tonight sets the
absolute maximum amount of FY22 expenditures
from all funds at $39,124,094
• Final Budget to be adopted on June 1st may reduce
the amount of expenditures previously approved in
the Tentative Budget, but it can't increase them

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 05/04/2021 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 Resolution
2021-011, approving an Intergovernmental Agreement with the State of Arizona for design and
construction of sidewalk gap elimination along Saguaro Boulevard and Palisades Boulevard.
Staff Summary (Background)
Staff continuously looks for opportunities to improve the road network for all modes of transportation,
with a focus on pedestrian safety. Most areas within the Town prior to incorporation were constructed
without sidewalks. Due to Council interest in making Fountain Hills more pedestrian friendly and to add
greater connectivity for the community, town staff applied to Maricopa Association of Governments
(MAG) for federal funding for various transportation and pedestrian projects, including the installation
of sidewalks to fill gaps on two corridors: (a) Palisades Blvd between Fountain Hills Blvd and Saguaro
Blvd, and (b) Saguaro Blvd between Fountain Hills Blvd and Colony Drive. In the Spring of 2020, the
Town was notified by MAG that our Sidewalk Gap Elimination project was selected to receive a grant.
This project will construct 8-foot sidewalks along both corridors. The project will fill gaps between
existing sidewalks, complete full street block sidewalk lengths, connect to existing pedestrian
generators (including schools, parks, churches, and commercial areas), and will address pedestrian
safety (hazard removal, better accessibility, curb ramp upgrades along arterial streets). The project will
also include utility relocations, driveway improvements, roadway narrowing, pavement obliteration and
re -striping, retaining walls, landscape restoration, and sign relocation.
The total cost of construction for both corridors of the sidewalk gap project is $2,148,968.
The federal grant for construction amounts to $2,026,477 (94.3%), with the Town's match being
$122,491 (5.7%). Additionally, staff applied for and was selected to receive unspent MAG closeout
funding for Design Assistance in the amount of $274,144, and received notification of the Grant award
on January 28, 2021. The grant will cover the majority of the design cost (94.3%), with the Town's match
being $16,571 (5.7%). There is also an additional review and administrative fee charged by ADOT in the
amount of $30,000, bringing the Town's contribution to $46,571 towards the design.
If the actual Project costs exceed the Federal grant funding allocation, the Town will be responsible to
pay the difference between actual costs of the Project and the federal funds received.
A summary of the Federal Grant and Town share for this project is summarized below:
Design:
Federal -aid funds @ 94.3% $ 274,144.00
Town's match @ 5.7% $16,571.00
ADOT PDA Cost (paid by Town) $30,000.00
Subtotal — Design/PDA $320,715.00
Construction:
Federal -aid funds @ 94.3% $2,026,477.00
Town's match @ 5.7% $122,491.00
Subtotal — Construction/PDA $2,148,968.00
Estimated TOTAL Project Cost $2,469,683.00
Total Estimated Town Funds $169,062.00
Total Federal Funds $2,300,621.00
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle
Sidewalk infill (gap elimination) has been a top priority of the Town Council for several years. This
agreement will provide design and construction support, and in doing so create a significantly safer
walking paths. It is a key element and part of a comprehensive plan to improve pedestrian safety Town
wide.
Risk Analysis
Not approving the Resolution will have a negative impact on grant funding and on the project.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF approving
the First Amendment to Contract 2020-11 with Continental Flooring Company for the purchase and
installation of flooring in Town owned facilities.
Staff Summary (Background)
The Community Center was built in 2001. Due to the age and wear and tear of the facility over the past
20 years, the interior of the building is requiring extensive cosmetic updating as well as renovations.
One of the major focuses of the renovation is the replacement of the flooring.
The carpeting inside the building consists of carpet tiles glued down to the subfloor. A comprehensive
inspection of the carpet and subfloor revealed that the glue is not adhering properly to the carpet and
concrete subfloor due to moisture coming up through the subfloor. The moisture is inhibiting the glue
from providing proper adhesion for the carpeting to the subfloor which in turn is causing excessive wear
to the carpet tiles. In reviewing the construction drawings for the Community Center, it was noted that a
vapor barrier was never installed underneath the concrete subfloor. The issue will be addressed and
corrected with new adhesive designed to address the moisture issue when applied to the carpeting.
The ceramic tile will be replaced with porcelain tile. Porcelain tile is highly resistant to wear and tends to
last better over the years than standard ceramic tile. This is due to the fact that porcelain tiles have

processes, and services. State may inspect or test, at its own cost, any finished
goods, work -in -progress, components, or unfinished materials that are be supplied
under the Contract or that will be incorporated into something to be supplied under
the Contract. If the inspection or testing shows non-conformance or defects, then
Contractor will owe State reimbursement or payment of all costs it incurred in carrying
out or contracting for the inspection and testing, as well as for any re -inspection or re-
testing that might be necessary. Neither inspection of facilities nor testing of goods,
work, components, or unfinished materials will of itself constitute acceptance by State
of those things.

Intellectual the Special Terms and Conditions, all intellectual property originated or prepared by
Property Contractor pursuant to the Contract, including but not limited to, inventions,

3.9.3 PRE-EXISTING MATERIAL. All pre-existing software and other
materials developed or otherwise obtained by or for Contractor or its affiliates
independently of the Contract or applicable Purchase Orders are not part of the work
product to which rights are granted State under subparagraph 3.9.1 above, and will
remain the exclusive property of Contractor, provided that:
(a) any derivative works of such pre-existing material or elements thereof that are
created pursuant to the Contract are part of that work product;
(b) any elements of derivative work of such pre-existing material that was not
created pursuant to the Contract are not part of that work product; and
(c) except as expressly stated otherwise, nothing in the Contract is to be
construed to interfere or diminish Contractor's or its affiliates' ownership of
such pre-existing materials.
3.9.4 DEVELOPMENTS OUTSIDE OF CONTRACT. Unless expressly
stated otherwise in the Special Terms and Conditions, the Contract does not preclude
Contractor from developing competing materials outside the Contract, irrespective of
any similarity to materials delivered or to be delivered to State hereunder.
3.10 Subcontracts 3.10.1 INITIAL LIST. At the time of Contract execution, Contractor's
candidate Subcontractors were identified in Attachment 3-C to the Accepted Offer
[Proposed Subcontractors]. Agreeing to them being included in the Accepted Offer
signified Procurement Officer's advance consent for Contractor to enter into a
Subcontract with each candidate, which Contractor shall do as promptly as necessary
to ensure its ability to carry out the Work in a timely manner.
3.10.2 ADDITIONAL NAMES. Contractor shall not enter into a
Subcontract without first obtaining Procurement Officer's written consent with any
prospective Subcontractor that (a) was not listed on Attachment 3-C at time of
Contract execution or (b) is for any Materials or Services categories other than the
ones for which they were previously consented. For either case (a) or (b), Contractor
shall submit a written request sufficiently in advance of the need date for those
materials or services so that performance under the Contract is not impaired.
Procurement Officer may request any additional information he or she determines is
necessary to assess the submittal, and may withhold consent pending it.
3.10.3 FLOW -DOWN. Contractor shall incorporate the provisions,
terms, and conditions of the Contract into every Subcontract by inclusion or by
reference, as appropriate. When making any post -execution consent requests,
Contractor shall include its warrant that it will do the same for the pending
Subcontracts covered by the request. Entering into Subcontracts will not relieve
Contractor of any of its obligations or duties under the Contract, including, among
other things, the duty to supervise and coordinate the work of Subcontractors.
Nothing contained in any Subcontract will create or is to be construed as creating any
contractual relationship between State and the Subcontractor.
3.11 Non-

foregoing warranty and understands that a breach of the foregoing warranty under
shall be deemed a material breach of the Contract that is subject to penalties up to
and including termination of the Contract.
3.13 Offshore Contractor shall only perform those portions of the Services that directly serve
Performance State or its clients and involve access to secure or sensitive data or personal client
of Certain Work data within the defined territories of the United States. Unless specifically stated
Prohibited otherwise in the Specifications or the Scope of Work, this paragraph does not apply
to indirect or overhead services, redundant back-up services, or services that are
incidental to performance under the Contract. This provision applies to work
performed by Subcontractors at all tiers.
3.14 Orders 3.14.1 ORDER SUFFICIENCY. The Contract was awarded in
accordance with the Arizona Procurement Code; the transactions and procedures
required by the code for competitive source selection have been met. An Order
issued as set forth in the Special Terms and Conditions that cites the correct State
contract number will suffice to authorize Contractor to provide the Materials and
perform the Services covered by that Order.
3.14.2 ORDER TERMS. All Orders are subject to the Contract Terms
and Conditions; an Order cannot modify the Contract Terms and Conditions.
3.14.3 ORDERS ARE OBLIGATORY. Until the expiration or earlier
termination of the Contract, State may issue and Contractor shall accept Orders that
make proper reference to the Contract and are permissible hereunder, provided that,
Contractor is not obliged to accept any Order that is not consistent with the then -
current pricing, lead times, specifications, or payment provisions of the Contract.
Contractor shall fulfill and complete any Orders that are begun but not yet completed
as of expiration or earlier termination of the Contract unless State instructs otherwise
at the time.
3.14.4 SPECIAL CASE. In the special case where both the following
conditions are true, Procurement Officer's signature on the Acceptance is
Contractor's authorization to perform and therefore no Order is required: (a) the
Contract is identified as being a "single-agency/single-project" contract in the Special
Terms and Conditions and (b) the Contract was created in APP as something other
than a "Master/ Blanket" type.
3.14.5 NO MINIMUMS OR COMMITMENTS. Unless expressly stated
otherwise in the Special Terms and Conditions: (a) Contractor shall not impose any
minimum dollar amount, item count, services volume, or services duration on Orders;
(b) State makes no commitment of any kind concerning the quantity or monetary
value of activity actually initiated or completed during the term of the Contract; (c)
Contractor shall only deliver or perform as authorized by Orders; and (d) State is not
limited as to the number of Orders it may issue for the Contract. For clarity of intent,
the foregoing applies equally whether an Eligible Agency issues the Order or, if
applicable, a Co -Op Buyer issues it.
3.14.6 NON -CONTRACTED MATERIALS OR SERVICES. Any attempt
to knowingly represent for sales, marketing, or related purposes that goods or
services not specifically awarded are under a State contract is a violation of the
Contract and law.
3.15 Statewide Contract If the Special Terms and Conditions indicate that the Contract is for statewide
Provisions use, then the following provisions apply:

selling Materials to or providing Services for them under the Contract. The current
list of Co -Op Buyers is available on the State Procurement Office website:
https:Hspo.az.gov/procu rement-services/cooperative-procurement/state-
purchasing-cooperative
Contractor shall sell to Co -Op Buyers at the same price and on the same lead
times and other terms and conditions under which it sells to Eligible Agencies, with
the sole exception of any legitimately additional costs for extraordinary shipping or
delivery requirements if the Co -Op Buyer is having Materials delivered or installed
or Services performed at locations not contemplated in the contracted pricing (e.g.
delivery to a location outside Arizona).
Contractor shall pay State an administrative fee against all Contract sales to Co -Op
Buyers, as provided for under A.R.S. § 41-2633. The fee rate is specified in the
Special Terms and Conditions. Failure to remit the administrative fees is a material
breach of contract, and will entitle State to its remedies under Article 8 and its right
to terminate for default under Article 9. Method of calculation, payment procedures,
and other details are provided on the State Procurement Office website:
https://spo.az.gov/contractor-resources/statewide-contracts-administrative-fee
Contractor shall submit to State a quarterly usage report documenting all Contract
sales to both Eligible Agencies and Co -Op Buyers, itemized separately. Contractor
shall further itemize divisions, groups or areas within a given Eligible Agency if they
place Orders independently of each other. Failure to submit the report is a material
breach of contract, and will entitle State to its remedies under Article 8 and its right
to terminate for default under Article 9. Contractor shall submit the report using the
forms and following the instructions on the State Procurement Office website:
https://spo.az.gov/contractor-resources/statewide-contracts-administrative-fee
9. Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Eligible Agencies within 1 (one)
business day after receipt by either: (a) "approving" the Order electronically in APP,
which will indicate Contractor's unqualified acceptance of the Order as -issued; or
(b) "rejecting" the Order electronically in APP, with a concurrent explanation by
email to relevant originator as to the reason for rejecting it. By way of reminder, the
only grounds on which Contractor may reject or refuse an Order are those set out
in subparagraph 3.14.3 [Orders are Obligatory]. Unless and until Contractor has
approved the Order in APP, it will have no effect under the Contract and will not
oblige either State or Contractor. If the relevant Eligible Agency explicitly instructs
at the time that a verbal acceptance is sufficient because of urgency or other
unusual circumstances and Contractor duly gives its verbal acceptance, then
Contractor will be deemed to have accepted the Order immediately upon
commencing performance, provided that, Contractor must follow-up its verbal
acceptance by accepting the Purchase Order electronically in APP within 3 (three)
business days. Contractor shall thereafter be barred from subsequently rejecting
the Order in APP and if it does so the rejection will be void.
10. Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Co -Op Buyers in conformance with
each buyer's instructions given at the time of ordering or in any supplemental
participating agreement Contractor might have with them. Orders from Co -Op
Buyers create no obligation on State's part, since they are entirely between the Co -
Op Buyer and Contractor. That notwithstanding, Contractor's obligation under the

Contract is to service Co -Op Buyers commercially as though they were with an
Eligible Agency, and Contractor's refusal to do so would be a material breach of
the Contract.
3.16 Multiple -Use If the Special Terms and Conditions indicate that the Contract is for statewide
Provisions use, then Eligible Agencies may issue Orders for Services in several forms, all of
which become final and effective by a "Release Purchase Order" in APP. Orders
issued by Co -Op Buyers will be in whatever form the Co -Op Buyer normally uses.
Regardless of origin, Orders must cite the State contract number to be valid. State
may, at its discretion in each instance, determine the scope, schedule, and price for
each Order in any of the following ways:
11. By choosing some or all of the Materials or Services items covered by the Contract
for which a price is established in the Commercial Document, then preparing an
Order using those prices (e.g., filling out an order form), and sending it to
Contractor.
By instructing Contractor to provide a comprehensive proposal of item quantities,
combinations, etc., or services hours, personnel, etc., for a defined scope using
those established prices as a basis, then validating and negotiating the proposal
with Contractor and issuing an Order if and when reaching agreement.
As described in (2) above but requesting the proposal from both Contractor and
other vendors who are contracted within the applicable scope categories and
locations, either sequentially or concurrently, then selecting the proposal or
proposals combination that is most advantageous to State.
As described in (3) above but introducing ad -hoc commercial competition by making
the selection and ordering conditional on obtaining more favorable prices than
the contractually -established ones.
When evaluating the proposals under (3) and (4) above, State may select
based on price (for example, a quoted number of hours times the contracted or
improved rate plus a fixed amount for incidentals), by experience and qualifications
(for example, having an office nearer the required work location), or whatever
combination thereof it determines is most appropriate to the work in question.
3.17 Other State may undertake with its own forces or award other contracts to the same
Contractors or other vendors for additional or related work. In such cases, Contractor shall
cooperate fully with State's employees and such other vendors and carefully
coordinate, fit, connect, accommodate, adjust, or sequence its work to the related
work by others. Where the Contract requires handing -off Contractor's work to others,
Contractor shall cooperate as State instructs regarding the necessary transfer of its
work product, services, or records to State or the other vendors. Contractor shall not
commit or permit any act that interferes with the State's or other vendors'
performance of their work, provided that, State shall enforce the foregoing section
equitably among all its vendors so as not impose an unreasonable burden on any one
of them.
3.18 Work on State 3.20.1 COMPLIANCE WITH RULES. Contractor is responsible for
Premises ensuring that its personnel comply with State's rules, regulations, policies,
documented practices, and documented operating procedures while delivering or
installing Materials or performing Services on State's grounds or in its facilities. For
clarity of intent, the foregoing means that if Contractor is required to comply with
certain security requirements in order to deliver, install, or perform at that particular
location, then it shall do so nonetheless and without entitlement to any additional
compensation or additional time for performance if those particular requirements are

not expressly stated in the Contract. Contractor is reminded that violation of the
prohibition under A.R.S. § 13-1502 against possession of weapons on State's
property by anyone for whom Contractor is responsible is a material breach of
contract and grounds for termination for default.
3.20.3 PROTECTION OF GROUNDS AND FACILITIES. Contractor
shall deliver or install the Materials and perform the Services without damaging any
State grounds or facilities. Contractor shall repair or replace any damage it does
cause promptly and at its own expense, subject to whatever instructions and
restrictions State needs to make to prevent inconvenience or disruption of operations.
If Contractor fails to make the necessary repairs or replacements and do so in a
timely manner, State will be entitled to exercise its remedies under paragraph 8.5
[Right of Offset].
3.19 Advertising,
Contractor shall not advertise, promote, or otherwise use information
Publishing and

Promotion of
Procurement Officer, which approval Procurement Officer may withhold at his or her
Contract
discretion.
4.0 Costs and Payments
4.1 Payments
4.1.1 PAYMENT DEADLINE. State shall make payments in
compliance with Arizona Revised Statues Titles 35 and 41. Unless and then only to
the extent expressly stated otherwise in the Commercial Document, State shall make
payment in full for Materials that have been delivered and accepted and Services that
have been performed and accepted within the time specified in A.R.S. § 35-342 after
both of the following become true: (a) all of the Materials being invoiced have been
delivered or installed (as applicable) and accepted and all of the Services being
invoiced have been performed and accepted; and (b) Contractor has provided a
complete and accurate invoice in the form and manner called for in the Commercial
Document, provided that, State will not make or be liable for any payments to
Contractor until Contractor has registered properly in APP and provided a current IRS
Form W-9 to State unless excused by law from providing one.
4.1.2 PAYMENTS ONLY TO CONTRACTOR. Unless compelled
otherwise by operation of law or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, State will
only make payment to Contractor under the federal tax identifier indicated on the
Accepted Offer.
4.2 Applicable
4.3.1 CONTRACTOR TO PAY ALL TAXES. State is subject to Arizona
Taxes
TPT. Therefore, Arizona TPT applies to all sales under the Contract and Arizona TPT
is Contractor's responsibility (as seller) to remit. Contractor's failure to collect Arizona
TPT or any other applicable sales or use taxes from an Eligible Agency or Co -Op
Buyer (as buyer) will not relieve Contractor of any obligation to remit sales or use
taxes that are due under the Contract or laws. Unless stated otherwise in the
Commercial Document, all prices therein include Arizona TPT as well as every other
manner of transaction privilege or sales/use tax that is due to a municipality or
another state or its political subdivisions. Contractor shall pay all federal, state, and
local taxes applicable to its operations and personnel.
4.3.2 TAX INDEMNITY. Contractor shall hold State harmless from any
responsibility for taxes or contributions, including any applicable damages and
interest, that are due to federal, state, and local authorities with respect to the Work
and the Contract, as well any related costs; the foregoing expressly includes Arizona
TPT, unemployment compensation insurance, social security, and workers'
compensation insurance.

4.3 Availability By A.R.S. § 35-154, every State payment obligation under the Contract is
of Funds conditioned on the availability of funds appropriated for payment of that obligation. If
funds are not appropriated and available for continuance of the Contract, State may
terminate the Contract at the end of the period for which funds are available, or, at
State's discretion, allow appropriate amendment to the Contract. No liability will
accrue to State if it exercises the foregoing right or discretion, and State will have no
obligation or liability for any future payments or for any damages as a result of having
exercised it.
5.0 Contract Changes
5.1 Contract The Contract is issued for State under the authority of Procurement Officer.
Amendments Only a Contract Amendment can modify the Contract, and then only if it does not
change the Contract's general scope. Purported changes to the Contract by a person
not expressly authorized by Procurement Officer or made unilaterally by Contractor
will be void and without effect; Contractor will not be entitled to any claim made under
the Contract based on any such purported changes.
5.2 Assignment and 5.2.1 IN WHOLE. Contractor shall not assign in whole its rights or
Delegation delegate in whole its duties under the Contract without Procurement Officer's prior
written consent, which consent Procurement Officer may withhold at his or her
discretion. If Contractor's proposed assignment or delegation stems from a split, sale,
acquisition, or other non -merger change in control, then no such consent will be given
in any event without the assignee or delegate giving State satisfactory and equivalent
evidence or assurance of its financial soundness, competency, capacity, and
qualification to perform as that which Contractor possessed when State first awarded
it the Contract.
5.2.2 IN PART. Subject to paragraph 3.10 [Subcontracts] with respect
to subcontracting, Contractor may assign particular rights or delegate particular
duties under the Contract, but shall obtain Procurement Officer's written consent
before doing so. Procurement Officer shall not unreasonably withhold consent so
long as the proposed assignment or delegation does not attempt to modify the
Contract in any way or to alter or impair State's rights or remedies under the Contract
or laws.
6.0 Risk and Liability
6.1 Risk of Loss Contractor shall bear all risk of loss to Materials while in pre -production,
production, storage, transit, staging, assembly, installation, testing, and
commissioning, if and as those duties are within the scope of the Work, until they
have been accepted as conforming by State in the particular location and situation
specified in the Order, or as specified generally elsewhere in the Contract if the Order
does not provide particulars, provided that, risk of loss for nonconforming Materials
will remain with Contractor notwithstanding acceptance to the extent the loss stems
from the nonconformance.
6.2 Contractor Insurance Contractor shall provide the insurance called for in the Special Terms and
Conditions.
6.3 Basic 6.3.1 CONTRACTOR/VENDOR (NOT PUBLIC AGENCY). To the
Indemnification fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
State Indemnitees from Indemnified Basic Claims that: (a) are caused or alleged to

federal, state, or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, or court decree. The
parties specifically intend that the Contractor Indemnitors shall indemnify the relevant
State Indemnitees from and against Indemnified Basic Claims in all instances except
where the Indemnified Basic Claim arises solely from those State Indemnitees' own
negligent or willful acts or omissions. Wherever the indemnification under this
subparagraph applies, Contractor is responsible for primary loss investigation,
defense, and judgment costs for an on behalf of the other Contractor Indemnitors
with respect to State Indemnitees, and accordingly Contractor is also responsible for
any cooperation, contribution, or subordination between or amongst the Contractor
Indemnitors. In consideration of the award of the Contract by a State Indemnitee,
Contractor hereby waives all rights of subrogation against State Indemnities for
losses arising from the Work.
If Contractor is a public agency, this paragraph does not apply and
subparagraph 6.3.2 below applies instead.
6.3.2 PUBLIC AGENCY. Each party (as'indemnitor') agrees to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party (as 'indemnitee') from and
against any and all claims, losses, liability, costs, or expenses (including reasonable
attorney's fees) (hereinafter collectively referred to as 'claims') arising out of bodily
injury of any person (including death) or property damage but only to the extent that
such claims which result in vicarious/derivative liability to the indemnitee, are caused
by the act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or other fault of the indemnitor, its
officers, officials, agents, employees, or volunteers.
If Contractor is not a public agency, this paragraph does not apply and
subparagraph 6.3.1 above applies instead.
6.4 Patent and Copyright CONTRACTOR/VENDOR (NOT PUBLIC AGENCY). With respect to
Indemnification Materials or Services provided or proposed by a Contractor Indemnitor for
performance under the Contract, Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless State Indemnitees against any third -party claims for liability, costs, and

paragraph 7.8 [Performance in Public Health Emergency], declared public health
emergencies. Force majeure expressly does not include late delivery caused by
congestion at a manufacturer's plant or elsewhere, an oversold condition of the
market, late performance by a Subcontractor unless the delay arises out of an
occurrence of force majeure, or inability of either Contractor or any Subcontractor to
acquire or maintain any required insurance, bonds, licenses, or permits.
6.5.2 RELIEF FROM PERFORMANCE. Except for payment of sums
due, the parties are not liable to each other if an occurrence of force majeure
prevents its performance under the Contract. If either party is delayed at any time in
the progress of their respective performance under the Contract by an occurrence of
force majeure, the delayed party shall notify the other no later than the following
working day after the occurrence, or as soon as it could reasonably have been
expected to recognize that the occurrence had effect in cases where the effects were
not readily apparent. In any event, the notice must make specific reference to this
paragraph specifying the causes of the delay in the notice and, if the effects of the
occurrence are on -going, provide an initial notification and thereafter the delayed
party shall provide regular updates until such time as the effects are fully known. To
the extent it is able, the delayed party shall cause the delay to cease promptly and
notify the other party when it has done so. The parties shall extend the time of
completion by Contract Amendment for a period equal to the time that the results or
effects of the delay prevented the delayed party from performing.
6.5.3 EXCUSABLE DELAY IS NOT DEFAULT. Failure in performance
by either party will not constitute default hereunder or give rise to any claim for
damages or loss of anticipated profits if and to the extent that such failure was or is
being caused by an occurrence of force majeure.
6.5.4 DEFAULT DIMINISHES RELIEF. Entitlement to relief from the
effects of an occurrence of force majeure is diminished to the extent that the delay
did or will result from the affected party's default unrelated to the occurrence, in which
case and to that extent the other party's normal remedies and the affected party's
obligations would apply undiminished.
6.6 Third Party Contractor assigns to State any claim for overcharges resulting from antitrust
Antitrust violations to the extent that those violations concern materials or services supplied by
Violations third parties to Contractor toward fulfillment of the Contract.
7.0 Warranties
7.1 Liens Contractor warrants that the Materials and Services when accepted will be
and will remain free of liens or other encumbrances.
7.2 Conformity to Contractor warrants that, unless expressly provided otherwise elsewhere in
Requirements the Contract, the Materials and Services will for 1 (one) year after acceptance and in
each instance: (1) conform to the requirements of the Contract, which by way of
reminder include without limitation all descriptions, specifications, and drawings
identified in the Scope of Work and any Contractor affirmations included as part of
the Contract; (2) be free from defects of material and workmanship; (3) conform to or
perform in a manner consistent with current industry standards; and (4) be fit for the
intended purpose or use described in the Contract. Mere delivery or performance
does not substitute for express acceptance by State. Where inspection, testing, or
other acceptance assessment of Materials or Services cannot be done until after
installation, the forgoing warranty will not begin until State's acceptance.

certifications relevant to their work, and Contractor shall provide individual evidence
of certification to State's authorized representatives upon request.
7.4 Intellectual
Contractor warrants that the Materials and Services do not and will not
Property
infringe or violate any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual
property rights or laws, except only to the extent the Specifications do not permit use
of any other product and Contractor is not and cannot reasonably be expected to be
aware of the infringement or violation.
7.5 Compliance
Contractor warrants that the Materials and Services do and will continue to
with Laws
comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, except only to the extent the
Specifications do not permit use of any other product and Contractor is not and
cannot reasonably be expected to be aware of the non-compliance.
7.6 Licenses and Permits
Contractor warrants that it will maintain all licenses required under paragraph
3.7 [Contractor Licenses] and all required permits valid and in force.
7.7 Operational
Contractor warrants that it will perform without relief notwithstanding being

duties hereunder absent a consented delegation under paragraph 5.2 [Assignment
and Delegation] that expressly recognizes the event.

identification of response personnel by name; (b) key succession and performance
responses in the event of sudden and significant decrease in workforce; and
(c) alternative avenues to keep sufficient product on hand or in the supply chain;
and
17. provide a copy of its current plan to State within 3 (three) business days after
State's written request. If Contractor claims relief under paragraph 6.5 [Force
Majeure] for an occurrence of force majeure that is a declared public health
emergency, then that relief will be conditioned on Contractor having first
implemented its plan and exhausted all reasonable opportunity for that plan
implementation to overcome the effects of that occurrence, or mitigate those
effects to the extent that overcoming entirely is not practicable.
For clarification of intent, being obliged to implement the plan is not of itself an
occurrence of force majeure, and Contractor will not be entitled to any additional
compensation or extension of time by virtue of having to implement it. Furthermore,
failure to have or implement an appropriate plan will be a material breach of contract.
7.9 Lobbying 7.11.1 PROHIBITION.
Contractor warrants that:
it will not engage in lobbying activities, as defined in 40 CFR part 34 and
A.R.S. § 41-1231, et seq., using monies awarded under the Contract,

use of its own monies or property, including without limitation any net
proceeds duly realized under the Contract or any value thereafter
derived from those proceeds; and
upon award of the Contract, it will disclose all lobbying activities to State

having to do with Contractor fault or error, then State will not be responsible for paying
freight, delivery, or transit insurance costs to return the products and may, at its
discretion, either have those billed directly to Contractor or offset them under
paragraph 8.5 [Right of Offset] of the Uniform Terms and Conditions.
11.18 Order Cancellation State may cancel Orders within a reasonable period after issuance and at its
discretion. The same method as that used for ordering will be used for cancellation. If

Prices listed in this quote are for the scope of work shown on the attached drawing and/or listed in the regarding line of this
quote. Any changes you make to the project after the materials are ordered may require additional charges. If the changes you
make are close to the start of or during the installation process there may also be a delay in the completion of the project as we wait
for the materials for the change to arrive. Please review and consider carefully the quote and drawing is meeting the scope of
work you have requested, we will be referencing these documents during the installation project. If it is not, please request a
revised quote with an updated scope of work.
Prices listed in this quote include moving of standard furniture. Standard furniture moving includes moving of regular desks, chairs,
2 drawer file cabinets, half empty 4 drawer filing cabinets and empty bookcases. (Excludes modular furniture, fireproof file cabinets
and safes)
Not included in moving of standard furniture is the moving of sensitive electronic equipment such as computers, telephones,

guide sheet regarding what to do before installation begins is included with this quote and another copy will be sent to you once an
installation date is set.
Prices listed in this quote include standard sub -floor preparation. Standard sub -floor preparation consists of a maximum of 25lbs
of patch for every 300 square yards of material, except as otherwise noted. Should any unforeseen sub floor conditions exist
additional charges will apply.
Prices listed in this quote include insurance coverage as required by the originally bid contracts. Certificate of Insurance and
Worker Compensation documentation are available by request at no additional charge. A Payment and Performance Bond can be
ordered and would add 2.5% to the quote listed above. Please let me know if this project requires a bond and I will revise the
quote to include that in the pricing.
Continental Flooring does not test for asbestos or lead paint nor do we provide asbestos or lead paint abatement. The Owner
represents that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure that no asbestos or lead paint exists on this project. The Owner
accepts all responsibility for the testing and removal of asbestos and lead paint and will hold Continental Flooring harmless relating
to asbestos and lead paint. The owner will provide related certification to continental flooring if required.
Once your purchase order is delivered to Continental Flooring Company, materials for your installation will be ordered. Due to
uncertainty around manufacturing & shipping commitments and in order to eliminate scheduling delays, Continental Flooring waits
until all materials for your project have been received before scheduling your installation. For that reason, precise installation
dates will not be immediately available until materials have been received. Contact Cathy Gordon at (480) 949-3509 ext. 289
anytime you may need an update on your installation timeline.
Thank you for the opportunity to quote to you on this project. Should you have any questions, or require additional

Staff Contact Information: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF approving
the First Amendment to Professional Services Agreement 2021-005 with A&H Painting, INC.
Staff Summary (Background)
The Community Center was built in 2001. In 2020 the exterior of the Community Center was repainted.
Due to the age and heavy usage of the facility, the interior of the building is requiring extensive cosmetic
updating as well as renovations. One of the major focuses of the renovation is repainting the interior of
the building.
The Community Center is scheduled to be repainted as part of the reserve analysis the Town conducted
in September 2015. It has been at least 14 years since some rooms were repainted which is beyond the
life expectancy of paint that was applied at the time. The proposed interior painting project cost is
$63,040.00. The work will be performed by the same contractor that painted the exterior of the
Community Center, Library and Town Hall, in 2020.
Funding for the painting project will come from the Facilities Reserve Fund. Each year the Town Council
appropriates funding through the annual budget process in this fund for the purpose of maintaining
critical town infrastructure and equipment. As part of the Community Center upgrades and
renovations, the Carpeting and Tile will also be replaced after the painting of each segment.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle
Council -Adopted Capital Facilities Replacement Program.
Risk Analysis
Not painting the building will result in the continued deterioration of the existing paint.
Recommendation(s) by Board(s) or Commission(s)
The Community Services Advisory Commission supports the remodeling and renovation of the
Community Center.
Staff Recommendation(s)
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No.1 to Professional Services Agreement 2021-005 with

Prepared by: Rachael Goodwin, Community Services Director
Staff Contact Information: Rachael Goodwin, Community Services Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE
DIRECTION to staff regarding the proposed Facility, Streets, and Honorary Naming Policy.
Staff Summary (Background)
At the request of the Town Council, staff has evaluated and proposed changes to the existing
Sponsorship and Naming Rights Policy. The original policy, adopted in 2014 and amended in 2016, has
been divided into separate sections to improve public understanding and staff application.
The Facility, Streets, and Honorary Naming Policy has been amended to include criteria for
Honorary Street naming as a means to recognize and commemorate individuals and entities that have
provided creditable service to the community and have attained prominence based on contributions to
the community. Additionally, Honorary Naming may also commemorate a historical figure or event. By
amending the Honorary Naming section of the policy, it creates an opportunity for the Town Council to
recognize individuals or events by designating a street or other town asset without impacting existing
street names which would in turn cause complexities with changing postal addresses.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle
Current Naming Rights and Sponsorship Policy, adopted in 2014, amended in 2016.
Risk Analysis
The amended and expanded Facility, Streets, and Honorary Naming Policy allows for greater public
transparency and improved guidance for staff when implementing the policy.
Recommendation(s) by Board(s) or Commission(s)
N/A
Staff Recommendations)
Staff recommends that the Town Council provide direction to staff on the proposed Facility, Streets, and
Honorary Naming Policy.
SUGGESTED MOTION
MOVE to direct staff to bring a revised Facility, Streets, and Honorary Naming Policy for Council
consideration and approval.

logo or trademarks. The Town may display its banners at all co -sponsored events.
E. Reduced Fees for New Events. Fountain Hills is an event-fricndly
destination; as such, the Town solicits and supports new event opportunities. The Town looks to
nurture events that have long term potential for creating a positive impact for both the event
organizers and Fountain Hills. First time events often face financial difficulties with startup
costs and other initial expenses, and the Town recognizes the value of helping an event find its
footing. The Town has developed a tiered system for all event organizers requesting in -kind
support for new events. It is the expectation that events become self-supporting after this three
year support cycle.

of up to 100% of Town costs.

waiver of up to 25% of Town costs.

schedule, budget and marketing plan; and (iii) a detailed description of the fees requested to be
waived, in -kind contributions to be made by the Town or accommodations to be made by the
Town or others. Following the event, recipients are required to submit a post -event financial
assessment. Events will not be automatically "renewed" for subsequent years; an application
must be submitted for annual review and approval. Fee waiver decisions will be made by the
person/entity designated in Subsection 6(F) above.
F. Legacy Events. Fountain Hills hosts several events annually that are
recognized as pillars in the Fountain Hills Special Event Calendar. These events have long
standing reputations in our community and have established an event foundation for residents
and guests alike. Due to their long track records of success, these events will have the privilege
of operating under the guidelines listed below. "Legacy" status is based upon continuous,
21897984
10
consistent operation by the same entity or organization. If any established "Legacy Event"
changes dates, format, impact area, organizer, or other significant component, Legacy status will
be suspended until a review of the special event can be completed by the Special Event
Committee and the Town Manager. Legacy status may also be forfeited.
(1) Rental fees for Town property will be waived for Legacy Events,
however all permits, rental costs, and other incurred fees must be paid by the organizer.
(2) Legacy Events will still be required to follow all Town Code
guidelines for Special Events, including permits, deadlines, traffic control requirements,
security, alcohol service, etc. Participating vendors will be required to abide by Fountain

Unified School District or Fountain Hills Sanitary District) is only a supporting sponsor
for another outside organization, that other outside organization still must apply for Town
Co -Sponsorship.
(2) If another governmental entity or Sister Agency is the primary
organizer for a public program or event, generally the Town will grant a request to be a
co-sponsor. Like sponsorship of outside organizations, the governmental entity or Sister
Agency still is responsible for all other costs associated with the program or event.

logo or trademarks. The Town may display its banners at all co -sponsored events.
E. Reduced Fees for New Events. Fountain Hills is an event-fricndly
destination; as such, the Town solicits and supports new event opportunities. The Town looks to
nurture events that have long term potential for creating a positive impact for both the event
organizers and Fountain Hills. First time events often face financial difficulties with startup
costs and other initial expenses, and the Town recognizes the value of helping an event find its
footing. The Town has developed a tiered system for all event organizers requesting in -kind
support for new events. It is the expectation that events become self-supporting after this three
year support cycle.
(1) Year One: if approved, first year events may receive a fee waiver
of up to 100% of Town costs.
(2) Year Two: if approved, second year events may receive a fee
waiver of up to 50% of Town costs.
(3) Year Three: if approved, third year events may receive a fee
waiver of up to 25% of Town costs.
All applicants will be required to submit: (i) a detailed description of the event; (ii) a pre -event
schedule, budget and marketing plan; and (iii) a detailed description of the fees requested to be
waived, in -kind contributions to be made by the Town or accommodations to be made by the
Town or others. Following the event, recipients are required to submit a post -event financial
assessment. Events will not be automatically "renewed" for subsequent years; an application
must be submitted for annual review and approval. Fee waiver decisions will be made by the
person/entity designated in Subsection 6(F) above.
F. Legacy Events. Fountain Hills hosts several events annually that are
recognized as pillars in the Fountain Hills Special Event Calendar. These events have long
standing reputations in our community and have established an event foundation for residents
and guests alike. Due to their long track records of success, these events will have the privilege
of operating under the guidelines listed below. "Legacy" status is based upon continuous,
21897984
10
consistent operation by the same entity or organization. If any established "Legacy Event"
changes dates, format, impact area, organizer, or other significant component, Legacy status will
be suspended until a review of the special event can be completed by the Special Event
Committee and the Town Manager. Legacy status may also be forfeited.
(1) Rental fees for Town property will be waived for Legacy Events,
however all permits, rental costs, and other incurred fees must be paid by the organizer.
(2) Legacy Events will still be required to follow all Town Code
guidelines for Special Events, including permits, deadlines, traffic control requirements,
security, alcohol service, etc. Participating vendors will be required to abide by Fountain
Hills Business License requirements. Proceeds from Legacy Events must remain with or
be distributed to entities within Fountain Hills.
(3) Identified Legacy Events are:
Fountain Festival: Organized by the Fountain Hills Chamber of
Commerce; held annually on the second full weekend of
November; Thursday- Sunday format.
The Great Fair: Organized by the Fountain Hills Chamber of
Commerce; held annually on the last full weekend of February;
Thursday- Sunday format.
Oktoberfest: Organized by Fountain Events, Inc.; held annually on
the last weekend of September; Friday and Saturday evening
format.
St. Patrick's Day Celebration: Organized by Fountain Events, Inc.;
held annually on the Sunday before March 17.
G. Requests for Co -Sponsorship of Other Governments and Sister Agencies.
(1) If another governmental entity or Sister Agency (i.e. Fountain Hills
Unified School District or Fountain Hills Sanitary District) is only a supporting sponsor
for another outside organization, that other outside organization still must apply for Town
Co -Sponsorship.
(2) If another governmental entity or Sister Agency is the primary
organizer for a public program or event, generally the Town will grant a request to be a
co-sponsor. Like sponsorship of outside organizations, the governmental entity or Sister
Agency still is responsible for all other costs associated with the program or event.
(3) The governmental entity or Sister Agency holding the program or
event must clearly acknowledge the Town as a co-sponsor on all written materials
associated with the event, subject to the Town's prior, written approval of any use of the
Town logo or trademarks.

DRAFT: Sponsorship Policy for Town Events, Programs, and Services
The Town of Fountain Hills shall seek sponsors that further its mission by providing monetary or in -kind
support for Town programs or services. The Town realizes that the publictrust and perception of its
impartiality maybe damaged by sponsorships that are aesthetically displeasing, politically oriented, or
offensive to segments of its citizenry. When the Town loses public trust and public perception of
impartiality, its a bi I ity to govern effectively in the interest of its citizens is impaired. Therefore, the Town
permits private sponsorships of government events, programs, or services in limited circumstances as a
means to generate funds for improving or expanding those events, programs and services. The Town
currently limits its sponsorship program to nonpublic forums and exercises sole discretion over who is
eligible to become a sponsor accord ingto the terms of this Policy.
Whenever possible, sponsorships shall be linked to specific activities, events, programs or publications.
The Town will neither seek nor accept sponsorsthat manufacture products ortake positions inconsistent
with local, state, or federal law or with Town policies, positions, or resolutions. The acceptance of a
sponsorship or the establishment of a Sponsorship Agreement does not constitute an endorsement by
the Town of the sponsor's organization, products or services.
The Town establishes the following Sponsorship Policy to provide a set of guidelines regarding the
financial value provided to the Town fromthe sponsorforevents and programs. Donationsare not subject
to this Policy. Proposals for customized sponsorships will be reviewed and considered based on thecriteria

Manager
3. $50,001 and up. The sponsorship agreement must be approved by the Fountain Hills Council.
A. Criteria for Approval
Entering into a Sponsorship Agree mentwith a sponsor shall not constitute an endorsementofthe sponsor
or its services and products. Because a sponsorship may, however, affect the reputation of Fountain Hills
among its citizens and its ability to govern effectively, any proposal for sponsorship in which the

Legislative Update
Today is the 961h day of the legislative session and to date, the Governor has signed 233
measures into law and issued one veto. There are currently 42 bills awaiting action from the
Executive. The House and Senate floor calendars were shorter this week as the legislature
focused on passing amendments to the tribal gaming compact (HB2772). Budget conversations
continue to take place among lawmakers with the focus remaining on a proposal to cut income
taxes by $1.5 billion. Next Tuesday will mark the 100th day of session and there is at least one bill
scheduled for a conference committee next week.
State Budget
Some House Republicans continue to advocate for the proposed tax cut package as part of the
budget discussions, including the largest income tax cut in state history. Their proposed 2.5% flat
income tax proposal would reduce revenues by $1.513 over a period of three years, which
includes a $225M impact to cities and towns. The League and several mayors made significant
outreach to legislators this week to highlight the proposal's impact to local government budgets
and services, including public safety. Senator Paul Boyer (R-Glendale) submitted an op-ed to
the Arizona Capitol Times highlighting his concerns with the proposal and its impacts to police
and fire budgets.
If the proposal does not include some mechanism to maintain existing distributions to local
governments, cities and towns would need to prepare making budget cuts or tax
increases to adapt to this loss in revenue. Arguments in favor of the tax proposal suggest cities
and towns would be made whole with growth that resulted from the
cuts and that the Wayfair legislation passed three years ago allowing taxation of remote and
online sales would provide sufficient revenues to offset the cuts. Neither of these statements
are accurate. It would take significant growth in income, sales, construction, and other taxable
activities to generate a revenue neutral position for the state and municipalities. In
addition, Wayfair simply authorized the taxation of online and remote retail purchases that would
have otherwise been taxed if it had been done at a bricks -and -mortar location in the state. As a
result of more transactions occurring online, the state and cities and towns were losing out on
capturing the tax revenue for these transactions. Today, even with the Wayfair legislation, local
governments will never recoup that lost revenue and cannot rely on online retail, which would
also have to increase substantially to offset the income tax cuts proposed by House
Republicans.
We ask you continue to talk with your legislators about the damaging impacts of this plan and
suggest alternatives that would allow for the legislature to move forward with tax cuts that do
not impact cities and towns.
SB 1146 Vehicle Sales
This week, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) issued a revised memo on the potential
fiscal impacts of SB 1146 NOW: motor vehicle dealers TPT. As we noted in a previous bulletin,
the measure expands the TPT exemption for vehicles purchased by non-residents. Current law
requires that the vehicle be delivered out of state in order to be eligible for the TPT exemption.
SB 1146 would make it so that any individual that is not a resident of the state could make use of
that exemption and drive the vehicle out of the dealer's lot without paying TPT — opening the door
for a substantial loss of revenue to cities, towns, counties, and the state.
A previous fiscal analysis stated that there would be a small reduction in revenues to cities and
towns. The League contends that this initial analysis did not consider that some TPT exemptions
still require that local taxes be paid. Additionally, nonresidents that purchase a vehicle that will be
registered in their home -state will still pay taxes in that state rather than paying those in Arizona
where the commerce was supported and generated. The revised analysis supports the League's
position that an expansion of this exemption would mean that cities and
towns will likely see larger revenue losses than initially estimated. The League continues to
oppose this measure.

Issue 15 — April 23, 2021
Legislative Update
Today is the 103rd day of the legislative session. Tuesday was the 1001h day of session, a marker
typically signaling efforts towards adjourning sine die. Although there appears to be no budget
compromise in sight, there are speculations that lawmakers intend to adjourn in the next
few weeks.
The Governor has signed 274 bills into law and vetoed two measures. There are currently 31 bills
that have passed the legislature and await action from the Executive. There are 66
measures pending consideration from the Rules committee with 163 bills awaiting Committee of
the Whole. 21 bills are ready for consideration in Third read, with the majority of those in the
Senate.
On Monday, the Governor issued Executive Order 2021-09. The EO effectively bans "vaccine
passports" by prohibiting cities, towns, counties, and state agencies from requiring documentation
proving an individual's COVID-19 vaccination status as a condition of entering a building,
business, facility or location. Additionally, the measures stipulate that vaccination status cannot
be used as a condition for receiving a service, permit, or license. EO 2021-09 is linked here.
State Budget
Budget discussions are continuing, but the proposal to enact a flat income tax is facing headwinds
due to concerns of some lawmakers and the efforts of city and town elected
officials conveying the negative impacts to local services and budgets as a result of the plan.
Representative Regina Cobb (R-Kingman) appeared on a KJZZ radio interview on Tuesday
to recap on the progress of the state budget and highlight the House proposed tax plan. During
the interview, she dismissed concerns regarding impacts to local budgets and public
safety services and suggested that any budget impacts would be offset by Wayfair and Prop 207
revenues. Her statements are not accurate - Wayfair collections will not be sufficient to offset the
$225M loss to cities and towns and her comments make clear there is a deep misunderstanding
of the Wayfair legislation passed only a few years ago. That legislation simply authorized the
taxation of online and remote retail purchases that would have otherwise been taxed if it had been
done at a bricks -and -mortar location in the state. In addition, prior to the passage of o., many of
the large online retailers such as Amazon and Walmart were already remitting sales tax — in other
words, this was not new revenue.
Tom Belshe appeared on the same KJZZ show the following day to rebut the claims by
Representative Cobb. We ask you continue to talk with your legislators about the damaging
impacts of this plan and suggest alternatives that would allow for the legislature to move forward
with tax cuts that do not impact cities and towns.
