3. REPORTS BY MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS AND TOWN MANAGER
Town Manager Grady E. Miller reported that the Town has been using Jack Lunsford to help
lobby on the oroposed flight path changes. They have learned that the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) has opted to not make any changes at this time, so status quo is in the
Town's favor. They will continue to fly in the open space east of Fort McDowell. They also
learned that the City of Scottsdale may challenge that decision, but as far as the Town is
concerned, no change is good. He said that it was a good example of how expending money
on a lobbyist that has good connections is helpful to the Town.
Councilmember Scharnow reported that he and Councilmember Tolis, along with Mayor
Dickey, attended the tour of the new casino at Fort McDowell. He said that it was quite
impressive and they are hoping to open later this summer.
Councilmember Tolis reported that he and the Mayor attended the Governor's Breakfast and
State of the State and he was happy to learn that the State has $1 billion in the rainy day
fund. There was only positive news about the economy in Arizona. He said that hopefully
they will see some of the success coming to Fountain Hills.
Councilmember Magazine noted that the state budget includes quite a bit of resources for
education which he was pleased to see, and they are fully funding the 2020 commitment.
Mayor Dickey said that it was a great tour at Fort McDowell, led the President Bernadine
Burnette, who she then congratulated for being re-elected as President as well as Tribal
Board Members Doka and Thomas.
She reported that she attended an opening for the new building at the Fountains Methodist
Church. She attended a Scottsdale Chamber event and an East Valley Chamber Alliance
event. She also attended, with the Town Manager, the public meeting regarding the proposed
hospital. She attended the East Valley Mayors lunch in Carefree, and discussed short term
rentals and SB14876. And, she participated in the Toastmasters presentation to the Mayors
Youth Council.

Mayor Dickey said that she signed a letter in support of the Heritage Fund. She said that last
year the State reinstated the Heritage Fund and this year the cities and towns of the State are
asking them to fund it.
RECOGNITION OF Students of the Month for January 2020
Mayor Dickey explained that during the 2017 Fountain Hills Leadership Academy Tom
Lindsey had proposed a project for the Town Council to award Student of the Month awards
to bring the schools and Town together. She then invited Mr. Lindsey forward to say a few
words.
Mr. Lindsey congratulated the Town Council and complimented and thanked them for
implementation of the new Stellar Student of the Month awards. He said that he was part of
one of these programs for 17 years in another community and it provides many benefits. It
brings together people that do not always come together, such as students and their parents
may not normally attend a Council meeting and those attending or viewing Council meetings
may not have a student in school to know what is going on there. He said that Excellent
Schools = Excellent Communities, and vice versa.
He thanked Dr. Allen and the School District, and also thanked Mr. Miller who supported the
idea from the beginning. He especially wanted to thank Angela from the Town and Jeanette
from the School District for getting everything put together.
Mayor Dickey then read a statement on each of the students and invited them forward to
receive their certificates and have a photo taken. Below are the students for January 2020:
Emily Van Orden
McDowell Mountain Elementary School
Reed Keating
McDowell Mountain Elementary School
Logan Robinson
Fountain Hills Middle School
Luke Giger
Fountain Hills High School
Faith Shannon
Fountain Hills High School
PROCLAMATION of January 2020 as National Mentoring Month
Mayor Dickey invited Roger Riggert forward to receive the proclamation which she read and
presented to him. Mr. Riggert said that it was good to see the students recognized. He has
been working as a mentor in the schools for the last 20 years and the mentors get as much
out of it as the students.
Mayor Dickey said that when she served on the School Board the students held a session on
the mentoring program. She said that it was very unique and effective.
C. UPDATE on Census 2020
Mr. Miller said that 2020 is the year that the country will be going through the Census and it is
very important to cities and towns. He then introduced Economic Development Analyst Jodi
James who came forward with a PowerPoint presentation which addressed:
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE MAIL
SAFETY

Regular Meeting of January 21, 2020
Page 3 of 9
JOINT THE 2020 CENSUS TEAM
CREATIVE PRINT ADS
She said that they will reach out to churches, schools and civic groups to present information,
and she has a complete toolbox of information that she is hoping to share with others to help
get the word out on the importance of the Census and how it will work.
Mr. Miller said that one example of how the funding is received is through the CDBG
(Community Development Block Grants). These are funds that flow to each of the states from
the federal government and then on to the local governments. It is all based on the Census
numbers and the Town wants to have those numbers be accurate.
Mr. Miller noted that the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) is putting money into
advertising for the Census as well.
Mayor Dickey added that in addition to the funding, the Census numbers will determine if the
State gets another one or two Congress people.
She said that she appreciated the work being done by the Town.

outstanding job.

Mayor Dickey thanked Ms. LaVoie for coming and for the Chamber being partners with the
Town to help the community grow. She thanked the Chamber for taking on the State of the
Town as a free event for the community, and she thanked them for being a resource with
James Smith and Jodi James.
Councilmember Tolis seconded the comments. He said that he thought Betsy has brought a
new energy, and he is happy that she is now in the leadership role.
B. PRESENTATION OF the "Golden Eagle Park Drainage Improvements Technical Report," from
representatives of J.E. Fuller, Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc.
Mr. Miller reported that back in October 2018 the Town had a devastating flood. Thanks to the
Public Works Department doing preemptive planning, they were able to minimize more
damage with the September 2019 storm. Tonight they will be provided part of the evaluation
on how to address the washes/drainage situations at Golden Eagle Park so they do not
continue to have damage. He said that the park was designed to be a drainage solution for
neighborhoods in that area. It did what it was intended to do, but some problems arose that
need to be addressed further. He then invited Public Works Director Justin Weldy forward.
Mr. Weldy said that they have faced some challenges in the Golden Eagle impoundment.
After the flooding in 2018, they removed the trash racks and since that time they have had
more positive effects from flow as it goes through the Park. He said that the Town Engineer
just received word that the Town was selected by the Flood Control District to receive a
$90,000 grant, requiring a $30,000 match by the Town, to help offset improvement costs.
He then introduced Richard Waskowsky and Ted Lehman with JE Fuller. He said that JE
Fuller had done work during the Ashbrook Wash Redeliniation Study and they were able to
use much of that information to address the Golden Eagle improvements.
\Mr. Waskowski then provided a PowerPoint presentation which addressed:
GOLDEN EAGLE PARK DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
- October 2, 2018 Storm
- September 23, 2019 Storm
OCTOBER 2, 2018 STORM MODELING RESULTS
RECOMMENDED DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDED DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS (Golden Eagle Park)
- Subtotal Construction: $520,200
- Total Construction: $872,500
RECOMMENDED DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS (Ashbrook Wash)
- Subtotal Construction: $380,600
- Total Construction: $593,600
- Easement: $ 8,400
- Total Estimated Cost: $602,000
With regard to the recommended bollards, Councilmember Scharnow asked if they are able
to accommodate cleaning up 92 bollards after a storm event. Mr. Weldy said that the intent of
the bollards is to stop the larger debris. They currently have them at several of the other
dams, and at those locations they have had a positive experience. They will concentrate on
the areas based on their knowledge and experience. They would attempt to address them up
front and would then have to determine, based on the type and intensity of the event, whether
Regular Meeting of January 21, 2020
Page 5 of 9
they would need outside help.
Councilmember Magazine said that the cost woke him up, and the word "about" with respect
to costs concerned him. Mr. Waskowsky noted that these are conceptual costs analyses
based on conceptual designs. They are at around 15% design right now so there are
contingency numbers included. As the design is refined the contingency number would come
down and the costs would be more refined.
Councilmember Magazine asked, if they were pushed real hard, what they would not do.
Mr. Waskowsky said that the cement basins are probably one item they could consider, but
they are not a big cost item. He talked with Mr. Weldy and Mr. Harrel to refine the footprint,
but it is relatively a large area.
Mr. Waskowsky said that the topography they had was prior to the 2018 flood, so since then
they have had two floods and they do not know what the ground looks like. The first step
would be to get an accurate picture of what the ground looks like, then design and give to
contractors for proposed costs.
Mr. Miller said that this was the preliminary review. Staff has put together a CIP project just for
these improvements. They believe they will be splitting it into two projects as presented
tonight.
Mr. Miller said that they were able to save a step on the preliminary aspect because JE Fuller
had already worked on Ashbrook Wash. That saved them some money and some time.
Mr. Miller said that they will be coming back to Council in the future. They were trying to get
this scheduled for last fall. As they get into the capital budget in March, this will give Council a
heads up. At the time they prepared this, they did not realize they had the Panorama Issue,
which is very close to the total costs for this project.
Councilmember Magazine asked if it could be part of a bond package and if they could
discuss it at the Retreat. Mr. Miller said that they could discuss it at the Retreat.
Councilmember Spelich asked if there was a Plan B, something less expensive. Mr. Weldy
said that this proposal was not really a Cadillac, it was right down the middle and it will
minimize potential damage in the future. He said that they can start looking at that as part of
the design and consider items they could eliminate. Mr. Miller added that it would be a
multi -year project, but he would like to put the engineering analysis in next year's capital
budget, then they will have a better idea of what projects will actually cost for future years.
Councilmember Spelich asked how many homes were involved in potential problems and
asked if the property owners were aware there was a problem. Mr. Waskowsky said that he
believed it was six to eight homes. He clarified that there has not been damage in the past to
the homes; it would only be a possibility if the area continued to erode.
Councilmember Scharnow asked if the environmental fee could be used for this work, if it is
put back into place. Mr. Arnson said that as far as he knows. Assuming it goes back into
effect he is not aware of any restrictions that would apply.
Councilmember Scharnow said that one thing he considers is that the 2018 storm was
considered a 10-year event. He could not imagine the amount of damage if they had a
50-year or 100-year event.
Regular Meeting of January 21, 2020
Page 6 of 9
Mr. Waskowsky noted that none of the improvements are maintenance -free; it all includes a
maintenance cost. The amount of damage from the 2018 event was partially because they
had deferred maintenance in the past.
Mr. Miller noted that the improvements made after the 2018 storm were make -shift; this is
more of a permanent fix. Mr. Weldy added that the changes they made to the three washes
and impoundment area were a reactive measure. They built larger, wider, deeper channels
and created more storage on the face of the dam. Later on they removed the trash racks
which allows the trash to go forward. He said that all of the work they did was temporary; they
have not had an opportunity to go back in and remove the mountain of material.
Mayor Dickey said that this does demonstrate what happens when they do not have the
funding available to do what is needed. She said that the sinkhole will probably be the same
type of issue and they will have to see what gets recommended to Council. She appreciated
the information and all of the work that everyone did to make the park usable.
5. CALL TO THE PUBLIC

Public, individual councilmembers may (i) respond to criticism, (ii) ask staff to review a matter, or (iii) ask that the

Walt Franklin, Fountain Hills resident, addressed the Council regarding the ordinance
adopted to change the term of Mayor. He said that he was sorry to hear that they moved
forward with it. It was clarified that this item is not effective until after it is approved by a
majority of the voters at the May 19, 2020, Special Election.
6. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS

A. CONSIDERATION OF Resolution 2020-03, adopting development fees in compliance with
A.R.S. § 9-463.05.
Mr. Miller said that the purpose of development fees is to have growth pay for growth. Under
state law every ten years they are required to do an update and every five years a refresh.
They started the process 197 days ago; from beginning to end it is a 270 day process,
according to state law.
Finance Director David Pock gave a brief PowerPoint which addressed:
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - TIMELINE
PROPOSEDFEES
Councilmember Tolis asked when the fees would be assessed, with some of the upcoming
projects that are commercial. Mr. Pock said that the fees are assessed when they pull their
permits. Like with Keystone, they have inquired and hope to pull their permits prior to April 5.
MOVED BY Councilmember Mike Scharnow, SECONDED BY Councilmember Alan

Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously

B. CONSIDERATION OF Ordinance 20-01 amending Chapter 25 of the Fountain Hills Zoning
Ordinance, Entertainment District Overlay, creating Section 25.04, Uses Permitted by Special
Use Permit, to allow consideration of residential densities in excess of eight (8) units per acre.
(Case #Z2019-08)
Development Services Director John Wesley said that this was more of a housekeeping item.
Back in 2016 the Town added to the Zoning Code some text to equalize some of the
allowances for noise in the downtown area. In 2017, with that in place and with thoughts that
it would be beneficial to have mixed use residential, staff came back and asked for an
amendment to allow for mixed use projects, for residential above the retail, but it was with a
density cap at eight units per acre.
He said that they have since had a couple of people come in proposing nice mixed -use
projects, but both exceeded the eight units per acre. With that in mind, they looked at options
as to how to give the developments an opportunity and his recommendation is to amend the
ordinance by allowing higher density, but requiring a Special Use Permit. That was being
proposed to provide an opportunity to have a specific review on the parking. They are
recommending adding a subsection in Chapter 25.
MOVED BY Councilmember Dennis Brown, SECONDED BY Councilmember Art Tolis to
adopt Ordinance 20-01.
Vote: 7 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
C. 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.
Mayor Dickey said that they will be adding this agenda item to each meeting while the State
Legislature is in session, to provide an opportunity to review any proposed legislation they
wish to discuss. She said that they had their first legislative call today, and she encouraged
Council members to attend it if interested. She said that if they see through the Legislative
Bulletin a bill that they have concerns with, let staff and the Mayor know, and they will have it
ready. She added that if they are unavailable to attend the calls, the League also prepares
notes from each of the meetings that are available.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF approval of
Board and Commission Members' Terms.
Staff Summary (Background)
As you may recall, last fall the Town Council made changes to the Town Code with regard to Boards and
Commissions. One part of those changes was to have all terms expire in either April or October of the
respective year. Additionally, terms were staggered to not have any quorum of the board or commission
expire in any given year.
To provide for the opportunity of members to determine their respective year of termination, each
Board and Commission discussed this issue at their meetings and determined whose term would end in
which year.
The last part of this process was to bring back a listing with all of the terms to be approved by Council.
That is what is being presented on the attached listing.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF approving
the painting of twenty bollard lights in Fountain Park as part of a pilot program to determine durability
and reduction of glare.
r
Staff Summary (Background)
Resident Ted Blank has requested to conduct a pilot program to paint a limited number of light
reflectors in the bollard lighting at Fountain Park for the purpose of reducing glare. Mr. Blank is
proposing to conduct a larger test of the bollards with the reflective surfaces painted flat black at the
fins of the bollard, 10 successive bollards just south of east parking lot, and 10 successive bollards just
south of the amphitheater.
Last year the town manager authorized Ted Blank to paint one light fixture. Preliminary measurements
using an LED light -meter show that the black paint reduced the reflected (upward) glare from the
bollards by —90% without significantly reducing the useful light shining down onto the sidewalk (see
photo). It is a measurable process, and the results of painting a series of bollards in a row will
demonstrate whether or not it is a worthwhile endeavor by measuring the amount of light on the
surface of the sidewalk at the furthest point between any two successive bollards, done first as a
pre -test and --after painting --a post test. Having a length of distance with painted bollards is material to
accurate measurement, therefore the request to do 10 successive bollards in two separate locations.
• If testing demonstrates that painting does not significantly alter the light shining on the walkway
but does eliminate the reflected light up and out, then the volunteers are willing to move forward
with painting all bollards at direction from staff.
• If this significantly reduces the light shining down on the walkway, then the volunteers will return
the test bollards to their original condition.
As part of the project, staff will be evaluating the light fixtures to ensure that the black paint on the light
reflectors will not reduce the amount of light emitted from the light fixtures. This includes ensuring the
lighting does not pose safety issues for park patrons and that the lighting continues to meet Americans
with Disabilities Act standards for park walking paths. Following the conclusion of the pilot program, Ted
Blank and staff will report their findings and recommendations to the Town Council.

Legislative Update
Today is day five of the second session of the 54t" Legislature, which convened on Monday
to hear Governor Ducey's State of the State address. During his speech, he highlighted
the state's successes in building a robust economy that is attracting new residents and
investments in the manufacturing, science and technology industries. The governor
touted the "Arizona Way" of policy -making as the reason for the state's accomplishments,
including the adoption of universal recognition of occupational licensing, cutting red tape,
investments in the rainy -day fund and in infrastructure, among others. He renewed his
pledge to not increase taxes to the crowd of lawmakers and guests; "no new taxes; not
this session, not next session; not here in this chamber, not at the ballot box, not on my
watch."
His speech prefaced the initiatives he will focus on this year, which are included in the
executive budget that was released to the public today. The budget prioritizes new
investments, including expedited replacement of the Gila River Bridge on the I-10
between Casa Grande and Phoenix to three lanes in both directions, additional funding
for rural broadband deployment, state parks, tourism, and a rural jobs initiative to
strengthen small business and grow the economies outside of Maricopa County.
Executive Budget
The executive budget includes the following items of interest to cities and towns:
• Elimination of the income tax on public service pension pay, retroactive to tax
year 2020, will reduce General Fund revenues by $45.5M (this includes a
$6.875M reduction to Urban Revenue Sharing)
• Targeted transportation investment of $28M to widen the Gila River Bridge in
both directions on I-10; the bridge will have capacity of 4 lanes in each direction
but will not open additional lanes until construction of other portions of the I-10
are complete
• Expansion of the Arizona Advanced Technology Corridor where $4.1M will be
provided to the Arizona Commerce Authority to establish technology programs at
community colleges in rural areas of Arizona
• $500k to the Arizona Office of Tourism to expand programs promoting rural
tourism
• An expansion of the grant program established for rural broadband from $3M
last year to $10M in the FY2021 budget
• Nearly $49.7M invested in a Smart Highways Corridor where 514 miles of conduit
for future broadband infrastructure will be installed along all I-40, I-19 from
Nogales to Tucson, and I-17 from Anthem to Flagstaff
• Adding $7.5M to the DUI Abatement Fund where local jurisdictions can apply for
grants to fulfill the objectives of the program
• Full funding for the Water Quality Assurance Revolving Fund (WQARF) for a total
of $15M
• Future closure of the Florence Prison with staff ultimately moving to Eyman
Prison
Transportation
Earlier this week, League Executive Director Tom Belshe presented to the House
Transportation Committee on the transportation needs of Arizona cities and towns, along
with representatives from the County Supervisors Association and the Arizona
Department of Transportation.
Last year, the League collected information from our cities and towns on deferred
maintenance and transportation projects. We received responses from approximately
two-thirds of municipalities, totaling $5.4 billion in both deferred maintenance and
transportation project funding needs:
• $3.1 billion in deferred maintenance needs
• $2.3 billion in transportation projects
House Transportation Committee Chairman, Representative Noel Campbell (R-Prescott),
has been working with stakeholders over the past few sessions to find a revenue source
to address the state's backlog of deferred maintenance. Arizona's fuel tax is 18 cents per
gallon and has not been increased since 1991 — this tax partially funds the Highway User
Revenue Fund (HURF). Municipalities receive a portion of HURF to maintain local streets,
roads, and traffic control systems.
The League will continue to work with stakeholders in continued discussions related to
HURF and the gas tax.

Legislative Intern
The League is pleased to welcome Maya Perez as the 2020 APS Legislative Intern. She is
a junior at Arizona State University studying political science and global studies with a
minor in public service and public policy and two certificates in international studies and
political entrepreneurship through leadership. Her interest in politics and government
made her a strong candidate for the position, and we are proud to have her on the
legislative affairs team this session.

Issue 2 — January 24, 2020
Legislative Overview
Today marks the 12th day of the legislative session. To date, 1,005 bills have been
introduced, which is a 34% increase in bill introductions over last year at this point (749)
and 61 memorials have been introduced, a 38% increase from last year at this point of
the session (44). It is common to see more bills during an election year, but this year's
introductions are the largest in recent memory. There are rumors of several outstanding
bills being drafted by Legislative Council staff, which means we are likely to see more
legislation in the coming weeks. League staff is working very hard to identify any bills
that will impact local decision -making and shared -revenue distributions.
Lawmakers in the Senate have until Monday, February 3 to introduce legislation, while
the House deadline is Monday, February 10.
Transportation
During this week's House Transportation Committee, mayors and representatives from
the cities of Sierra Vista, Willcox, and Globe spoke to the committee about the
transportation needs in each of their communities.
Mayor Rick Mueller of Sierra Vista emphasized that while the city is slowly coming out of
the recession, revenues and growth have been declining for the past eight years.
Although Sierra Vista dedicates 1.95% of its local TPT rate to road maintenance,
increasing materials and personnel costs make it challenging to improve road conditions.
Willcox Mayor Michael Laws thanked the committee for previous investments made by
the Legislature that directly benefitted the city by promoting their booming wine industry
and increasing access to Northern Cochise hospitals. On the topic of transportation, the
mayor shared that the city dedicates 33% of its tax base to road maintenance and repairs.
Despite this, to repair the city's infrastructure would require them to triple their current
investment.
Paul Jepson, city manager for Globe, stated, "we repair what we can, with the money we
have", adding that the city budgets $1.2M a year for road maintenance. Nevertheless,
approximately one-third of Globe's roads are seriously damaged. Jepson also highlighted
the challenges facing rural communities in Arizona, such as the difficulty in securing
contracts for construction projects and often the lack of bidders for these projects.
Throughout the next few weeks the committee's chairman, Rep. Noel Campbell (R-
Prescott), will host additional city and town mayors as well as county supervisors from
across the state to speak to the committee about the challenges they face in addressing
deferred maintenance and ongoing transportation needs.
League Resolutions - Executive Session
HB 2053 executive sessions; security plans., sponsored by Rep. Espinoza (D-Tolleson),
passed the House Technology committee this week with unanimous approval. This
measure allows public bodies, including city and town councils, to discuss issues related
to building security and IT security in executive session. The bill is a product of the
League's resolution process and has received support from the County Supervisors
Association and the Arizona School Boards Association.
The bill was double -assigned and is scheduled for an additional hearing in the House
Government Committee next week. A mirror measure, sponsored by Senator Borrelli (R-
Lake Havasu City), is also pending a hearing in the Senate Government Committee.

Issue 3 — January 31, 2020
Legislative Overview
Today is the 19th day of the legislative session. To date, 1,273 bills have been introduced,
a 32% increase in bill introductions at this time last year. Monday is the deadline for the
Senate to introduce legislation, while the House deadline is February 10. The last day for
committees to hear bills in the chamber or origin is February 21.
Civil Penalty Restitution
Representative Leo Biasiucci (R-Lake Havasu City) introduced HB 2055 civil traffic
violations; community restitution, which allows a person who receives a civil traffic
violation to perform court -approved community restitution instead of paying a civil
penalty. It was scheduled for a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee but was held
from consideration so that an amendment could be drafted to satisfy concerns raised
from stakeholders.
The bill models the existing restitution process for criminal penalties. However, the bill
would preclude the assessment of time payment fees. Typically, a portion of the fee is
retained by the court issuing the ticket for administrative costs. It also does not provide
guidelines for determining the appropriate rate of community restitution to satisfy the
penalty. The amendment will address these concerns and will be offered in committee
next week.
State Liquor Board Membership
HB2144 state liquor board; membership, sponsored by Representative Anthony Kern (R-
Glendale), requires one member of the State Liquor Board to be appointed based on
recommendations provided by the League to ensure there is a local perspective on Board
decisions. This legislation is a League resolution that was adopted at the 2018 League
conference. It passed the House Commerce Committee unanimously and now proceeds
to the Rules Committee.
Residential Rental Tax
Representative Cesar Chavez (D-Phoenix) introduced HB2348 municipal TPT; residential
rentals; limit which caps the municipal residential tax at 5%. Currently, 75 municipalities
tax residential rental with none exceeding 4%, meaning there would be no immediate
fiscal impact. However, the League is always skeptical about placing rate caps in statute
because those figures can be easily adjusted downward resulting in substantial financial
impacts to cities and towns. Additionally, the League feels strongly that placing a cap in
one classification of tax would likely lead to caps in other classifications.
During testimony in the House Ways & Means Committee on Wednesday, Representative
Chavez indicated the impetus behind this bill was that Arizona has an affordable housing
shortage and he was looking to address that issue. The League opposed HB2348 in
committee and our testimony centered on the 2011 bill, S131160, requiring a municipality
to hold a vote if they were to ever increase their residential rental tax rate. Additionally,
the League testified that we care strongly about affordable housing and supporting efforts
to increase affordable housing was a 2019 League Resolution. We committed a
willingness to work with Representative Chavez on issues that truly addressed the root
cause of lack of affordable housing.
HB2348 passed out of House Ways & Means on an 8-2 vote.
Expenditure Limits
S131280, sponsored by J.D. Mesnard (R-Chandler) clarifies that Article XX of the Arizona
Constitution excludes pension obligations for unfunded liabilities (debt) from the
expenditure limit calculations. The League testified in support of the language the bill
because we believe strongly that those obligations are debt and that we should be
encouraging employers to use cash to pay off unfunded liabilities rather than going into
debt to do so.
The bill passed out of Senate Finance (5-3). The League expects there to be ongoing
discussions with the Arizona Tax Research Association (ATRA), who is in opposition to
the bill, next week.
Transportation
During this week's House Transportation Committee, Mayors and representatives from
the Town of Camp Verde, Cottonwood, Kingman, and Yuma made presentations to the
committee on the transportation needs in their respective communities.
"Since 1991 when the gasoline tax passed, the purchasing power of revenues derived
therefrom has dropped more than 70% and the advent of improved vehicle technology
has put new stresses to find a solution" emphasized Mayor Charles German of the Town
of Camp Verde.
Mayor Tim Elinski of Cottonwood spoke about the partnerships in the Verde Valley to
attract tourism and become the heart of Arizona wine country. Cottonwood relies solely
on sales tax and despite the booming wine industry, the city has $42 million in unmet
infrastructure need.
Vice -Mayor Travis Lingenfelter of Kingman stated that "50% of local roads have less than
five year estimated service life" citing that Kingman has a backlog of $60 million in
deferred maintenance.
Councilmember Gary Knight, of Yuma thanked the committee for the Legislature's
restoration of HURF funds. Despite this infusion of new dollars, "$8 million annually in
rehabilitation is required just to maintain the current status, that's not to fix any of the
failed roads, just maintain current status..."
In the next few weeks, the committee will hear from the transportation authorities from
Pima and Maricopa county.
Executive Session
HB 2053 executive sessions; security plans., sponsored by Rep. Espinoza (D-Tolleson)
passed the House Government committee this week with unanimous support. The bill
adds the discussion or consultation of security plans, procedures, assessments, measures
or systems related to the security or safety of buildings or facilities and IT maintained by
the public body as an allowable purpose to hold an executive session.
The bill has now cleared two House committees and is pending House Rules, where the
measure will be evaluated on its constitutionality. SB 1042 a mirror bill to HB 2053,
sponsored by Senator Borrelli (R-Lake Havasu) is scheduled for a hearing on Monday in
the Senate Government Committee.
