Interoffice Memo
To: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCI ���
From: CASSIE HANSEN, DIRECTOR OF ADMINIS TION
Date: 6/5/2002
Re: 6/6/02 AGENDA UPDATES
Hello again ... we have yet another updated agenda for your perusal. This mini -packet includes the new
agenda, two letters from Kenneth Countryman referred to in new agenda item #13 and two memos from
Bill. The changes to the agenda are as follows:
OLD AGENDA ITEM #8 — RENEWING THE BID FOR THE COMPASS
Councilman Melendez has requested that this item be removed from the consent agenda to allow for
council discussion. It is now agenda item #22.
OLD AGENDA ITEM #9 — REAPPOINTMENT OF LINDA MELUCCI
Although the future of the stadium district was uncertain, it was originally thought that Scottsdale was
not going to vote on the issue until July so this item remained on the agenda last Friday. But last night
the Scottsdale City Council voted to not renew the district so this item has become a moot point and
removed from the agenda.
NEW AGENDA ITEMS #9, #11, #12, #13 — EXECUTIVE SESSION AND RELATED ITEMS
An executive session has been added to discuss the three "fire" related lawsuits. Three additional items
have been added dealing with various aspects of a possible settlement of those suits. In addition to the
two letters from Mr. Countryman, this packet includes two memos from Mr. Farrell regarding these
items.
I believe this covers all the changes.
One final note: Just a reminder that the first council meeting in July falls on the fourth. That meeting has
been rescheduled to July 2,d. Community Development has publicly noticed a number of items for that date
so please make sure the change appears on your calendars. Traditionally, the second meeting in July has
been cancelled due to a heavy June schedule as well as Council/staff vacations. Any questions, please don't
hesitate to call. Thanks

Interoffice Memo
To: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
From: CASSIE HANSEN, DIRECTOR OF ADMINIST TION
Date: 6/4/2002
Re: 6/6/02 AGENDA UPDATES
As usual, there are a few changes to the agenda. Your mini -packet contains an updated agenda and
some supplementary materials. A summary of the changes include the following:
AGENDA ITEM #2 — LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATION
Last Friday, your packet included a liquor license application for the Village Pub. In checking the status of
their business license late on Friday, staff discovered that the name on the newly issued business license did
not match the name on the liquor license application. The business license had the name Beach Bum Bar &
Grill while the liquor license application had the name Village Pub. Staff contacted the Liquor Department
who reported that they had received updated name information from the applicant but had failed to pass it
along to the Town. The name change does not affect the rest of the application and a copy of the amended
page from the State Liquor Department is included in this packet. The necessary change has been made to
the agenda and staff continues to recommend approval.
"OLD" AGENDA ITEM #3 — LTAF RESOLUTION
Councilwoman Ralphe has requested that this item be removed from the consent agenda to allow for
discussion. It is now agenda item #20.
AGENDA ITEM # 22 — VOTE TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION
Mr. Farrell has added discussion of the Town vs. BNY and Merrill Lynch litigation to the executive session. If
any materials become available, he will distribute them in executive session.
Your packet also includes additional support materials:
Updated copies of the Law Enforcement Contract reflecting the change of "public safety director" to
"town manager or designee".
Hard copies of the files emailed you last night regarding the citizen recommendation for LTAF
distribution.
Portions of the Paradise Valley Town Code dealing with the Municipal Court and Fire Department as
requested by Councilwoman Nicola.
That is it for now .... we will keep you apprised of any additional changes. Thanks

Re: AGENDA ITEM #2 — VILLAGE PUB LIQUOR LICENSE
AGENDA ITEM #3 — RESOLUTION 2002-23 AUTHORIZING THE USE OF LOTTERY
FUNDS
AGENDA ITEM #2 — VILLAGE PUB LIQUOR LICENSE
Jennifer Gibson has submitted an application for a new Class 12 Restaurant license for the Village Pub
located at 16740 E. Palisades Boulevard. Ms. Gibson is the manager of the Village Pub and applicant for
the new license. Although the establishment previously had a Class 12 liquor license, Ms. Gibson must
apply for a new license on behalf of the new owner, Donna Schuster. Marshal Gendler has performed his
inspection and confirms that the premise satisfies the statutory requirements of a Class 12 license (please
see attached memo from Steve). The premise has been posted for the 20-day statutory period and no
written arguments have been'.- received at Town Hall. Ms. Schuster has applied for a Fountain Hills business
license to reflect the new ownership. Based on statutory compliance, staff recommends approval,
AGENDA ITEM #3 — RESOLUTION 2002-23 AUTHORIZING THE USE OF LOTTERY FUNDS
Resolution 2002-23 is a routine legislative action authorizing the use of Local Transportation Assistance
Funds (LTAF) for purposes other than transportation. Since 1990, the Town Council has authorized ten
percent of the LTAF or lottery money received by the Town to be used for cultural, educational,
historical, recreational or scientific programs. Approval of this resolution provides the authority the
Council will use in agenda item #21 when action is taken on the citizen committee's recommendation
for distribution of these funds. This funding mechanism has provided financial assistance for many
groups and programs in Fountain Hills, benefiting the entire community. Staff recommends
approval of Resolution 2002-23.

Town of Fountain Hills Memorandum
VOW TO: Cassie Hansen
FROM: Steve Gendler
DATE: May 2, 2002
SUBJECT: Liquor License Application — Village Pub
------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an endorsement of the attached Liquor License
Application for the "Village Pub" located at 16740 Palisades. It is my understanding that the
application is scheduled for consideration at the Council session on June 6th.
This application reflects a change in ownership for the Village Pub and the subsequent
process for a new class 12 license under the specifications of ARS 4-205.02. A Class 12
license is for restaurant use only.
The statutes require that 40% of the business establishment be devoted to serving food and
that liquor sales be incidental to the food service. The Village Pub is a long established
restaurant -tavern that has changed ownership and qualified for a Class 12 license in 1994,
1998, and most recently in 2001. A site inspection, as well as a review of plans, shows
clearly that over 60% of the establishment is devoted to service of food.
A Class 12 license is also exempt from restrictions relating to churches, schools and nearby
liquor establishments. While the site inspection showed no churches or public schools in the
immediate area, there are several day care centers and other liquor license holders in the
vicinity. However, that is consistent with business interests adjacent to the downtown area
and not a consideration for class 12 license.
The applicant, Jennifer Gibson, is an Arizona resident under the provisions of ARS Title 28
and I have verified that she has no outstanding wants or warrants.
Additionally, the restaurant has a current town business license #4322 issued to the previous
owner, Mr. Joe Williams. However, since this is a change in ownership, and the business
license is non -transferable, Ms. Gibson will have to re -apply.
Based on compliance with Title 4 relating to the Class 12 liquor license, the fact that the
applicant is an Arizona resident with no wants or warrants, I recommend approval by the
Council at their June 6th session.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR STEVE GENDLER
FROM: BEV BENDER, EXEC. ASST. TO THE TOWN CLERK AAT
SUBJECT: VILLAGE PUB LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATION
DATE: 5/1/2002
CC: JUDY HERTRICH, ADMIN. ASST. TO THE TOWN CLERK
Steve,
Please review the attached liquor license application and provide your recommendation.
The new owners, as of today, have not applied for a business license. I called the Village
Pub this afternoon and informed Mike, who identified himself as one of the investors that
they would need to apply for a new Fountain Hills business license.
I told Mike that would I bring a business license application form to them when I posted
their liquor notice on Thursday, May 2, 2002. I will let you know when our office has
received their completed application.

RE: Vehicular -Non -Access Easement Abandonment 2002-04
Resolution 2002-22
Ingress/egress, 1-foot VNAE
FireRock Parcel D, Lot 15
16100 Shooting Star Trail
Larry Garberick
This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon a segment of the F Non -
Vehicular access easement located along the southerly property line of FireRock Parcel D, Lot 15
(as shown in Exhibit "A"). The applicant desires abandonment of a 25-foot long segment of the F
VNAE along Shooting Star Trail to permit the new proposed driveway ingress/egress location.
The very steep topography along Star Gaze Trail prohibits the construction of a driveway that
would comply with the Town of Fountain Hills driveway policy design parameters.
The Town Engineer has reviewed the site relative to the Town's traffic and access interests along
Shooting Star Trail and has determined that there is no need for the Town to retain this portion of
this "Non -Vehicular Access" Easement. Therefore, the Town has no objections to the
abandonment of this 1' Vehicular -Non -Access Easement segment. However, the Town would like
to assure that any future request for vehicular access along Star Gaze Trail is prohibited.
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2002-22 with the following stipulation.
• Vehicular access is prohibited along the Star Gaze Trail total lot frontage for Lot 15.

RE: Agenda Changes to June 6, 2002 Council Agenda
Global Settlement
Building A.
16838 E. Palisades Blvd.
Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
On Tuesday, June 4, 2002 my office received a four page confidential fax from Mr. Ken
Countryman proposing a global settlement to the Knapp, Hofffman and Robinson litigation. The
letter and its contents were requested to be kept confidential; however, Mr. Countryman also wanted
public discussion and action on these items at the Thursday, June 6, 2002 council meeting.
I have prepared an answer in response to Mr. Countryman's letter and forwarded the same to him
with an indication that I will add as many items to the June 6`h agenda as I can provided he gets me
information that can be made public so that the discussion could facilitate a decision if a majority
of the Council is so inclined to act.
I also informed Mr. Countryman that I have an obligation to be at the Queen Creek Town Council
meeting on Wednesday evening to assist in the swearing in of their new members and to handle their
regular first Wednesday of the month meeting. I normally leave at 3:00 p.m. in order to meet with
the Manager and the Mayor to review the agenda. I will make every effort to facilitate adding items
to the agenda if Mr. Countryman provides me with answers to the questions up to or including 3:00
p.m.

June 5, 2002
Page 2
Should we be unable to make connections or reach agreement on Wednesday I would offer you the
opportunity of declaring an emergency on Thursday and adding matters to the agenda which will
have been posted on Wednesday. I believe there may be some reluctance on the part of some
council members to entertain such an emergency on their first night on the council or even among
veteran council members who have been through emergency situations before.
I believe a settlement is also worth exploring and would very much like to present the contents of
the Countryman letter to not only the Council but also to the general public so that it can be
discussed and perhaps acted upon on Thursday evening.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns and I will attempt to answer
them as best I can.

RE: Knapp v. Town et. al.
Building A.
16838 E. Palisades Blvd.
Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
You will be requested, most likely, to discuss and perhaps act upon in the Knapp lawsuit. I felt it
was especially important for the new council members to get some feel for the issues in Knapp and
therefore I have taken the liberty of attaching to this memorandum the Town's second motion to
dismiss. Our first motion to dismiss has been answered and is set for oral argument in July. This
second motion was filed on June 4, 2002 and contains some excellent arguments in its 14 pages
which ultimately requests that the judge dismiss the plaintiff's complaint. I strongly urge you to
review this document prior to the Council meeting so that you have some idea of what I feel to be
the relative strength of our case in Knapp.

Defendants Town of Fountain Hills, John Wyman, Leesa Fraverd, Sharon
Hutcheson, John McNeill, Susan Ralphe, Sharon Morgan, John Kavanagh, and William
Farrell (collectively "Town Defendants") hereby respond to Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave
to Amend Complaint and request that this Court deny the motion. The proposed Second
Amended Complaint fails to cure the defects pointed out by Town Defendants in their
Motion to Dismiss. Nor does it save Plaintiffs' claims against Town Defendants from
dismissal for the reasons set forth in Town Defendants' Second Motion to Dismiss, filed
concurrently with this response.
Just like the Amended Complaint, the proposed Second Amended Complaint fails
to state a claim for which relief can be granted against Town Defendants. As such,
Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint should be denied. See In re Estate of
Torstenson, 125 Ariz. 373, 376-77, 609 P.2d 1073, 1076-77 (Ct. App. 1980) (holding that

1
denial of leave to amend is appropriate when proffered amendment is futile or legally
2
insufficient on its face).
3
I. Plaintiffs' purported amendments fail as a matter of law to cure the defects in
4
their claims against the individual Town Defendants, as pointed out in Town
5
Defendants' Motion to Dismiss.
6
Plaintiffs' purported amendments with respect to the individual Town Defendants
7
consist solely of the following: (1) the addition of a second claim for relief for breach of
8
contract directed solely to "Defendant Council Members"; and (2) the addition of
9
paragraph 76, which states that, "if the Defendant Council Members acted outside the
10
scope of their authority when they acted to dissolve the District, then the Defendant
11
Council Members have materially breached the Agreement by failing to pay the sums due
12
to each Plaintiff under the Agreements." With their proffered changes, Plaintiffs attempt
13
to overcome the rule that "municipal officers are not personally liable on contracts within
14
the scope of their authority and line of duty." 4 McQuillen, Municipal Corporations §
15
12.214 at 290 (3d ed.). This attempt is flawed in several respects.
16
First, the allegation in paragraph 76 does not even on its surface contain the
17
elements of a breach of contract claim. It just makes no sense. In straining to find some
18
basis for asserting claims against the individual Council Members, Plaintiffs merely point
19
to the legislative action which allegedly created Plaintiffs' contractual rights, not breached
20
them. Plaintiffs refer to the Town's adoption of Ordinance 01-18, in which the Town
21
opted to provide fire protection services to the Town, and thereby allegedly assumed the
22
liabilities of the Fire District by operation of law. Id. at Ifi 67-70. Setting aside the
23
substantive reasons why the adoption of the ordinance could not create an individual
24
obligation on the part of the Council Members, discussed below, the singular act of
25
adopting the ordinance cannot possibly constitute both the creation and the breach of a
26
contract with Plaintiffs by the individual Town Defendants. The proposed Second

AND

1. A W Y E R S
I
Amended Complaint still fails to point to any action taken by any of the individual Town
2
Defendants which even arguably could provide the basis for individual liability.
3
Second, Plaintiffs misapprehend the scope -of -authority rule and fail to allege the
4
most basic threshold element of a contract claim against individual municipal officials-
5
actual participation in the creation of the contract. Those cases that even contemplate the
6
possibility of personal liability on a contract on the part of a public official require, as a
7
threshold matter, that the public official have actually participated in the creation of the
8
contract. See e.g., Parks v. Rose, 52 U.S. (1 I How.) 362, 374 (1850) ("it is an established
9
rule of law that, an agent who contracts in the name of his principal is not liable to a suit
10
on such a contract; much less a public officer, acting for his government") (emphasis
I 1
added); Sims Printing Co. v. Kerby, 56 Ariz. 130, 134-36, 106 P.2d 197, 199-200 (1940)
12
("`When public agents, in good faith, contract with parties having full knowledge of the
13
extent of their authority, or who have equal means of knowledge with themselves, they do
14
not become individually liable, unless the intent to incur a personal responsibility is clearly
15
expressed, although it should be found that through ignorance of the law they may have
16
exceeded their authority."') (citation omitted) (emphasis added).
17
Here, Plaintiffs do not allege that the individual Town Defendants entered into
18
contracts with Plaintiffs, nor can they. Indeed, Plaintiffs concede that it was the Fountain
19
Hills Fire District ("Fire District") and the Fire District Board Commissioners who entered
20
into contracts with Plaintiffs. See proposed Second Amended Complaint at $ 65. The
21
only allegation against the individual Town Defendants, beyond the fact that they are
22
public officials, is that they "acted to dissolve the District" —presumably by adopting
23
Ordinance 01-18. Id. at J 76. Nowhere do the Arizona Revised Statutes governing fire
24
districts provide that individual town officials assume the liabilities of a fire district by
25
operation of law when they opt to provide fire protection services to their town. See
26
A.R.S. § 48-812. Again, there is simply no basis whatsoever for Plaintiffs' attempt to

impose liability on any of the individually named Town Defendants. Because the
2
individual Town Defendants did not negotiate the Plaintiffs' employment agreements, the
3
question whether they acted within the "scope of their authority" is irrelevant.
4
Third, even were the scope -of -authority question apposite, Plaintiffs fail to allege
5
any factual basis to support their bald legal conclusion that the individual Town
6
Defendants acted "outside the scope of their authority when they acted to dissolve the
7
District." The only act that Plaintiffs refer to with respect to the individual Town
8
Defendants is the Council's adoption of Ordinance 01-18. There are few if any actions of
9
an individual town council member that could more appropriately be described as within
10
his or her scope of authority than the action of voting to adopt an ordinance. Moreover, it
11
is indisputable that towns in Arizona have the authority to choose to provide fire
12
protection services to their residents, just as the Town did here when it adopted Ordinance
13
01-18. See A.R.S. § 48-812.
IL

II. Plaintiffs' purported amendments are also futile, because, as a matter of
15
Arizona public policy and relevant case law, the Town Defendants could not be
16
held responsible for the severance packages offered to the Plaintiffs by the Fire
17
District.
18
Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint should be denied, because
19
Plaintiffs can state no set of facts that would create liability on the part of Town
20
Defendants for the severance provisions in Plaintiffs' alleged employment agreements. As
21
Town Defendants point out in their Second Motion to Dismiss, filed concurrently with this
22
response, those severance provisions are void as against public policy and thus
23
unenforceable as a matter of law. Town Defendants will not repeat those arguments in
24
detail here, but will merely summarize them, and refer this Court to their Second Motion
25
to Dismiss.

1 The alleged severance pay provisions, first, violate the public policy created by the
2 Legislature in the Arizona Revised Statutes governing fire districts, which specifically
3 authorize cities and towns to disband fire districts under certain circumstances, including
4 by choosing to provide fire protection services on their own. See A.R.S. §§ 48-812, -815.
5 The severance provisions chill the exercise of those statutory rights, and purport to grant a
6 level of job security to Plaintiffs that the Legislature clearly intended that they not have.
7 Second, the alleged severance provisions violate the longstanding rule in Arizona that the
8 governing board of a political entity may not bind its successors to personal services
9 contracts. See Tryon v. Avra Valley Fire District, 659 F. Supp. 283 (D. Ariz. 1986); Pima
10 County v. Grossetta, 54 Ariz. 530, 97 P.2d 538 (1939); Town of Tempe v. Corbell, 17
11 Ariz. 1, 147 P. 745 (1915). Not only does this rule operate to void employment contracts
12 that extend beyond the term of the governing board that executed them, it operates to void
13 severance pay provisions that one board attempts to make binding on a successor board, as
14 the Fire District purported to do here. Serna v. Pima County, 185 Ariz. 380, 916 P.2d
15 1096 (App. 1995).
16 Third, the structure of the alleged agreements, such that severance pay becomes
17 payable only after the Fire District's own dissolution, contravenes the Gift and Debt
18 Limitation Clauses of the Arizona Constitution. Ariz. Const. art. 9, §§ 7 & 8. The alleged
19 agreements improperly attempt to circumvent the Gift and Debt Limitation Clauses, which
20 would otherwise limit the Town's ability to obligate itself to a four million dollar
21 ($4,000,000) expenditure for nothing in return. That concerns about violating these
22 clauses might cause the Town to refrain from choosing to provide fire protection services
23 for the Town is further evidence that the severance provisions improperly chill the Town's
24 exercise of its rights under A.R.S. §§ 48-812 & 48-815, thus violating the public policy
25 underlying those statutes as well.

1 III. Conclusion
2 In sum, Plaintiffs' proffered Second Amended Complaint fails to allege the
3 required elements of a contractual claim against individual municipal officials, and thus
4 fails to state a claim against the individually named Town Defendants. Furthermore, the
5 alleged severance agreements are void as against public policy with respect to all Town
6 Defendants, and are thus unenforceable against all Town Defendants. Because none of the
7 proffered changes in Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint, nor any other changes not
8 yet proffered, could state a claim against Town Defendants for which relief could be
9 granted, Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint should be denied.

Pursuant to Arizona Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), Defendants Town of
Fountain Hills, John Wyman, Leesa Fraverd, Sharon Hutcheson, John McNeill, Susan
Ralphe, Sharon Morgan, John Kavanagh, and William Farrell (collectively "Town
Defendants") move for dismissal of all claims against them for failure to state a claim for
relief. This is Town Defendants' second motion to dismiss. As Plaintiffs made clear in
their Response to Town Defendants' first motion to dismiss, their claims against Town
Defendants are based solely on the existence of alleged employment agreements between
the Plaintiffs and the Fountain Hills Volunteer Fire District ("Fire District").
As the Amended Complaint alleges, the Fountain Hills Town Council voted on
October 31, 2001 to provide fire protection services to the Town. See Amended
Complaint at in 67-68. The Town had a statutory right to do so under A.R.S. § 48-812.
Just a few days before the Council's vote, Plaintiffs and the Fire District allegedly entered
into addenda to the employment agreements, which effectively put a four million dollar

($4,000,000) price tag on the Town's right to choose to provide fire services itself.
Specifically, the Fire District Board, through the alleged addenda, provided that Plaintiffs
would receive three to five years of salary as severance, depending on the Plaintiff's
position, payable in case of dissolution of the Fire District. Plaintiffs' claims against the
Town Defendants are based on these severance pay provisions in the addenda.'
Plaintiffs' claims fail as a matter of law, however, for several separate and distinct
reasons. First, the alleged employment agreements —specifically, their severance pay
provisions —violate the public policy created by the Legislature in the Arizona Revised
Statutes governing fire districts, which specifically authorize cities and towns to disband
fire districts under certain circumstances, including by choosing to provide fire protection
services on their own. Second, the alleged employment contracts violate the longstanding
rule in Arizona that the governing board of a political entity may not bind its successors to
personal services contracts. Third, the structure of the alleged agreements, such that
severance pay becomes payable only after the Fire District's own dissolution, contravenes
Article 9, Sections 7 and 8, of Arizona's Constitution —the gift and debt limitation clauses.
For each of these reasons, described in detail below, the alleged employment agreements
are void as against public policy and thus unenforceable as a matter of law.
'Representative examples of the alleged employment agreements are attached hereto as
exhibits. See Exhibits A — F. These agreements each include an identical addendum
regarding severance pay, with an identical "Schedule A" attached, which are similarly a
part of the alleged employment agreements of all of the Plaintiffs. Submission of the
employment agreements, which are referred to in the Amended Complaint, does not
convert this Rule 12(b)(6) motion into a motion for summary judgment. See. e.g., Branch
v. Tunnell, 14 F.3d 449, 453 (9th Cir. 1994) ("[D]ocuments whose contents are alleged in
a complaint and whose authenticity no party questions, but which are not physically
attached to the pleading, may be considered in ruling on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to
dismiss. Such consideration does not `convert the motion to dismiss into a motion for
summary udgment."') (citation omitted). While Town Defendants do not concede the
validity c the employment agreements attached to this motion, they do not question the
authenticity of the documents.

for dismissal already set forth in Town
1
Consequently, in addition to the reasons
2
Defendants' first motion to dismiss, the claims against Town Defendants are incurably
3
defective and should be dismissed.
4
I. Plaintiffs' claims are barred because the alleged employment agreements
5
violate the public policy found in the statutes governing volunteer fire districts.
6
The Arizona Legislature has explicitly granted to cities and towns the statutory
7
authority to disband volunteer fire districts under certain circumstances. See A.R.S. §§
8
48-812, 48-815. Here, the severance provisions added to Plaintiffs' alleged employment
9
agreements by the Fire District Board purport to put a four million dollar ($4,000,000)
10
price tag on the Town's and its citizens' exercise of these statutory rights. Not only do the
11
severance provisions chill the exercise of the statutory rights granted by the Legislature to
12
the Town and its citizens, they purport to grant a level of job security to Plaintiffs that the
13
Legislature clearly intended that they not have. Contracts so blatantly contrary to the
(W 14
public policy created by the Legislature are void as a matter of law, and unenforceable.
15
Under the Arizona Revised Statutes, cities and towns have the power to disband fire
16
districts under two distinct circumstances. First, under § 48-812, "[w]hen any area having
17
a fire district established under this article is entirely annexed to a city or town or entirely
18
included within a newly organized city or town, the fire district of the area annexed and all
19
its assets and liabilities of whatever description shall be merged and become a part of the
20
fire department of the annexing city or town upon the date the city or town elects to
21
provide fire protection services to such area." § 48-812(A). Second, under § 48-815, the
22
qualified electors of a fire district may petition the governing body of the fire district for
23
an election—i.e., public vote —that asks for dissolution of the district. § 48-815(A). If an
24
election is called and it results in the dissolution of the district, and "all of the fire district
25
has been included within the corporate limits of a city or town, then, upon disbanding as

provided by this section, the equipment, assets and liabilities of the district shall be
transferred to such city or town." § 48-815(C).
The above statutory enactments are a statement of public policy by the Legislature.
See State v. O'Donnal, 110 Ariz. 552, 554, 521 P.2d 984, 986 (1974) (noting that an act of
the legislature represents "the public policy of the State"); Chicago Ins. Co. v. Manterola,
191 Ariz. 344, 348, 955 P.2d 982, 986 (App. 1998) (looking to Arizona statutes to
determine public policy of state); Landi v. Arkules, 172 Ariz. 126, 133, 835 P.2d 458
(App. 1992) (noting that statutes are the "Legislature's declaration of public policy"). The
public policy behind the statutory provisions is easily discerned. The Legislature clearly
places a high value on the discretion of a city or town and its citizens to control the
provision of fire protection services within the city's or town's borders. The exercise of
that discretion may legitimately come at the expense of the existence of a fire district, and
the continued employment of its employees .2 Any agreement that conflicts with the above
statutory provisions violates public policy and, in Arizona, an agreement is unenforceable
if it violates public policy. White v. Mattox, 127 Ariz. 181,'184, 619 P.2d 9, 12 (1980);
Mountain States Bolt Nut & Screw v. Best -Way Transp., 116 Ariz. 123, 124, 568 P.2d
430, 431 (App. 1977); Red Rover Copper Co. v. Industrial Comm'n, 58 Ariz. 203, 214,
118 P.2d 1102, 1107 (1941) (holding that a constitutional amendment and legislation
enacted pursuant to that amendment are the declared public policy of the state, and "[n]o
2 This is further evidenced by the fact that the employees of a fire district disbanded
pursuant to these statutes do not automatically become employees of the city or town
within which the fire district is located. Specifically, § 48-812(C) provides that, when a
fire district and annexing or newly organized city or town are merged, a fireman employed
full-time by the fire district becomes a member of the city's or town's pension fund only if
he "becomes employed as a fireman by an annexing or newly organized city or town
within sixty days from and after the date the city or town elects to provide fire protection
services to such area." In other words, the statute contemplates that the city or town will
have the discretion to offer employment or to not offer employment to the former
employees of the disbanded/merged fire district.

contractual consent ... can prevail against public policy, and any agreements made and
any acts done in violation of it are necessarily void"). 3
Here, binding the Town to the severance provisions in Plaintiffs' alleged
employment agreements with the Fire District would obviously interfere with the Town's
statutory right to choose to provide fire protection services to the Town, pursuant to § 48-
812, as well as with the right of the Town's qualified voters to dissolve the Fire District in
an election, pursuant to § 48-815.4 In that part of the severance provisions relevant here,
3 Cf. Huskie v. Ames Bros. Motor & Supply Co., 139 Ariz. 396, 678 P.2d 977 (App.
1984) ("The laws of the state are a part of every contract and where a contract is
incompatible with a statute, the statute governs.") (citing School Dist. No. I of Pima
County v. Hastings, 106 Ariz. 175, 177, 472 P.2d 44, 46 (1970)); Havasu Heights Ranch
& Dev. Corp. v. Desert Valley Wood Prods., 167 Ariz. 383, 389, 807 P.2d 1119, 1125
(App. 1990) (noting that "the laws of this state are a part of every contract," and finding
the term of the lease in question subject to certain limitations in the Arizona Constitution
and in certain statutes); American Federation of Labor v. American Sash & Door Co., 67
Ariz. 20, 27, 189 P.2d 912, 916 (1948) (recognizing that "the liberty to, and right of,
contract are not absolute and unyielding but are subject to being limited, restrained, and
circumscribed in the interest of the state and the welfare of its people").
4 In fact, under the plain language of the severance provisions, the severance packages are
payable only upon "dissolution" of the Fire District. Dissolution only occurs if there is a
public vote to dissolve the Fire District, as described in § 48-815, In their Amended
Complaint, Plaintiffs' allege that the severance pay obligations were transferred to the
Town by operation of § 48-815. See Amended Complaint at 170. However, § 48-815
could not have operated to trigger the severance pay obligations and transfer them to the
Town under the circumstances here, because there was no public vote to dissolve the Fire
District. Nor do Plaintiffs even allege that there was such a public vote. Rather, they
allege that the Town became obligated to pay the severance payments because the Council
adopted Ordinance 01-18 on October 31, 2001. See Amended Complaint at T167-68.
Thus, under the plain language of the severance provisions, no obligation to pay the
severance packages ever arose, separate and apart from the public policy considerations
which would have negated these provisions under any circumstances. This reason alone
would provide another basis for dismissing Plaintiffs' claims against the Town
Defendants. Even assuming, however, that Plaintiffs could successfully argue that the
term "dissolution" in the severance provisions refers to both a "dissolution" effected
pursuant to § 48-815, or to a "merger" effected pursuant to § 48-812, the void -for -public -
policy argument outlined above compels dismissal of the claims against Town Defendants.

between five for each Plaintiff were
1
the severance packages of three and years of salary
2
structured such that they became payable upon dissolution of the Fire District. For
3
purposes of this motion, the Court need not decide whether the severance provisions were
4
designed to deter the Town and its citizens from exercising their statutory rights —which
5
certainly appears to be the case —because that would be their effect nonetheless. The four
6
million dollar ($4,000,000) cost placed on the Town by the Fire District for exercising the
7
Town's statutory rights flies in the face of Legislative intent and the public policy
g
apparent in the fire district statutes mentioned above. Compare Serna v. Pima County,
9
185 Ariz. 380, 916 P.2d 1096 (App. 1995), which is discussed at page 8, infra, in which
10
the Arizona Court of Appeals emphasized that, in the public employment context, public
11
policy goals cannot be undercut by putting economic penalties on a local government's
12
efforts to achieve them. The Fire District Board plainly had no lawful authority to tie the
13
hands of the Town Council and its citizens in such a manner.
14
II. Plaintiffs' claims are also barred because the governing board of a political
15
entity in Arizona may not bind its successors to personal services contracts.
16
The alleged employment agreements, at least with respect to the severance
17
provisions at issue here, violate Arizona's longstanding rule that the governing board of a
18
political entity may not bind its successors to personal services contracts or to contracts
19
made in the exercise of a governmental function. Consequently, the severance provisions
20
are void as against public policy and are unenforceable against Town Defendants, alleged
21
successors to the Fire District and the Fire District Board.
22
The relevant rule, first articulated in Town of Tempe v. Corbell, 17 Ariz. 1, 147 P.
23
745 (1915), was clarified by the Arizona Supreme Court in Pima County v. Grossetta, 54
24
Ariz. 530, 97 P.2d 538 (1939):
25
Where the contract in question is a unitary one for the doing of a particular
26
and specified act, but its performance may extend beyond the term of the

1
officers making it, if it appears that the contract was made in good faith and
in the public interest it is not void because it will not be completed during
2
the term of those officers. If, on the other hand, the contract is for the
3
performance of personal or professional services for the employing officers,
their successors must be allowed to choose for themselves those persons on
4
whose honesty, skill and ability they must rely.
5
6
See also 56 Am. Jur. 2d § 135 (2d ed. 2000) ("a municipal council may enter into contracts
7
during their term of governance however, if the term of the contract extends beyond the
term for which the members of the council were elected the ability of the current council
8
9
to bind subsequent councils is limited"); 63C Am. Jur. 2d § 259 (2d ed. 1997) ("the
general rule is that contracts of employment for a period beyond the term of the employing
10
11
board are not valid").
Not only does this rule operate to void employment contracts that extend beyond
12
13
the term of the governing board that executed them, it operates to void severance pay
Provisions that one board attempts to make binding on a successor board. In 1995, the
14
Arizona Court of Appeals applied the Grossetta rule in rejecting the severance pay claim
15
16
of a terminated Pima County Manager. Serna v. Pima County, 185 Ariz. 380, 916 P.2d
17
1096 (App. 1995). Serna was employed as county manager on November 7, 1989 under
an employment contract that provided for a severance payment of approximately $200,000
18
19
if he was terminated without cause before June 30, 1992. Just prior to this date, the Pima
20
County Board of Supervisors extended his contract for two years. New members were
21
elected to the Board in November 1992. When they took office in January 1993, they
22
terminated Serna's employment. Serna sued for severance pay.
Serna argued that, even if his situation fit within the Grossetta rule, and the Board
23
24
was free to terminate him, such a termination was not free of contract damages. The court
25
disagreed. The court noted, first, that the rule was applied in Town of Tempe v. Corbell to
26
prevent an award of damages for termination. Second, the court noted that the important

public policy goal behind the Grossetta rule "ought not be undercut by putting an
2
economic penalty on efforts to achieve it." Sema, 185 Ariz. at 381, 916 P.2d at 1097.
3
In another case applying the Grossetta rule, the court in Tryon v. Avra Valley Fire
4
District, 659 F. Supp. 283, 285-86 (D. Ariz. 1986), held that the Board of Directors of a
5
Fire District could not bind its successor Board to an employment contract with the Fire
6
Chief; despite a five-year contract, the ousted Fire Chief had no property right to
7
continued employment and thus no claim for violation of due process. The Tryon court
g
also noted that it would have reached the same result applying the modern analysis in this
9
type of case, which Arizona courts now follow, which requires "drawing a distinction
10
between proprietary and governmental functions of a municipal body." Id. (citing, as an
11
example of this modern analysis, the Arizona case of Copper Count Mobile Home Park
12
v. City of Globe, 131 Ariz. 329, 641 P.2d 243 (App. 1981), in which "the court considered
13
whether the City of Globe was acting in a governmental or proprietary function with
14
regard to providing sewer service to persons residing outside the city limits").
15
The Tryon court noted that this analysis applies to fire districts as well as other
16
municipalities, because "[a] fire district is a quasi -municipal corporation." Id. (citing
17
California Portland Cement v. Picture Rocks Fire District, 143 Ariz. 170, 174, 692 P.2d
18
1019, 1023 (App. 1984)). The court used the definition of "governmental function"
19
established in Copper County Mobile Home Park, which "stated that `a governmental
20
function is generally recognized as one undertaken because of a duty imposed on the city
21
for the welfare or protection of its citizens."' Id. (quoting Copper CountrYMobile Home,
22
641 P.2d at 246). Under the modern analysis, the Tryon court concluded that the
23
employment contract entered into between the Avra Valley Fire District, through its board
24
of directors, and Tryon, the Fire Chief, "was done in performance of the board's

governmental function." Id.5 Thus, "the prior board could not bind the successor board
that voted to terminate the Fire Chief." Id.
Similarly, here, the employment agreements in question were executed by the
Fountain Hills Fire District, through its board of directors, in the exercise of the Fire
District Board's governmental function —its duty to provide fire protection services for the
welfare of the citizens within the Fire District. A.R.S. § 48-805(B)(1) provides that a fire
district, through its board, may "[e]mploy any personnel and provide services deemed
necessary for fire protection, preservation of life and for carrying out its other powers and
duties" Thus charged with the duty of providing fire protection services, and with the
power to employ personnel to assist in carrying out that duty, the employment agreements
executed by the Fire District Board were for services personal to the Board. The Fire
District Board's successors should enjoy the same freedom to select their own employees
and servants to carry out their duties. Yet, the employment agreements purport to bind the
Fire District Board and its successors. For example, severance payments would be
triggered under the alleged agreements whether the Town or even successors to the Fire
District Board decided to terminate all employees in favor of contracting for fire
protection services. Additionally, the severance clauses specifically tie the payment of
severance to the actions of the Fire District Board's successor, by providing that if the Fire
District is "dissolved" by the actions of the Town, then severance is due.
Thus, under the rule as explained in Grossetta and Serra and Tryon, while the
severance clauses in Plaintiffs' alleged employment agreements may have been binding
5 See also Gilmore et al. v. City of Montgomery, 417 U.S. 556, 574 (1974) (recognizing
that fire protection is a traditional state monopoly and generalized governmental service);
see also Ayres v. Indian Heights Volunteer Fire Dept., Inc., 493 N.E.2d 1229, 1235 (Ind.
1986) ("Firefighting is a service that is uniquely governmental. The need to control,
prevent, and fight fires for the common good of the community has been universally
accepted as a governmental function and duty in this State and, as far as we can determine,
in this Nation, from its very beginning.").

1 upon the Fire District Board that executed them, they are clearly not enforceable against
2 any of the Fire District's successors, including Town Defendants.
3 III. Plaintiffs' claims are also barred because the alleged employment contracts
4 thwart the purposes of the gift and debt limitation clauses of the Arizona
5 Constitution, which would otherwise limit the Town's ability to obligate itself
6 to a four million dollar ($4,000,000) expenditure for nothing in return.
7 The gift clause in Arizona's Constitution forbids any city or town or other
8 subdivision of the State to "give or loan its credit in the aid of, or make any donation or
9 grant, by subsidy or otherwise, to any individual, association, or corporation ...." Ariz.
10 Const. art. 9, § 7. The purpose of the gift clause is "to prevent governmental bodies from
11 depleting the public treasury by giving advantages to special interests or by engaging in
12 non-public enterprises." Wistuber v. Paradise Valley Unified School Dist., 141 Ariz. 346,
13 349, 687 P.2d 354, 357 (1984) (citations omitted). A court reviewing the validity of an
14 expenditure of public funds under the gift clause must be satisfied that the expenditure
15 serves a public purpose and that the public entity expending the funds has received
16 "consideration which is not so inequitable and unreasonable that it amounts to abuse of
17 discretion, thus providing an illegal subsidy to a private individual or entity." Id. at 348-
1 g 49, 687 P.2d at 356-57 (citation omitted); see also Arizona Center For Law In The Public
19 Interest v. Hassell, 172 Ariz. 356, 367-68, 837 P.2d 158, 169-70 (App. 1991).
20 Here, neither a public purpose nor fair consideration for the severance provisions
21 can be shown. The reality of the situation is that the provisions calling for years of
22 severance payments, allegedly to every person who had already signed an employment
23 agreement with the Fire District, including a clerical employee, were added just days
24 before the Town Council's vote. See Wistuber, 141 Ariz. at 349, 687 P.2d at 357 ("Of
25 course, either objective [public purpose and fair consideration] may be violated by a
26 transaction even though that transaction has surface indicia of public purpose. The reality

both in terms consideration must be considered."). Even
1
of the transaction of purpose and
2
if the act of adding the severance provisions to every one of the Plaintiff's contracts on the
3
same day —practically on the eve of the Town Council's vote —was not intended to
4
influence the Town's vote, that was nonetheless its inescapable effect. The Fire District's
5
crafting of a conditional obligation of an expenditure of Town funds, with the likely effect
6
of deterring the Town from exercising its statutory right to choose to provide fire
7
protection services to the Town, does not serve a public purpose. Indeed, as already
8
discussed above, the actions of the Fire District in executing the addenda actually violated
9
Arizona public policy.
10
Furthermore, as a matter of law, fair consideration cannot be shown. The Fire
11
District Board imposed an obligation on the Town and the Town received absolutely
12
nothing in return. The alleged severance obligation arose only because the Town
13
exercised its statutory right to assume responsibility for providing fire protection services
14
to the Town. While it is true that the Legislature attached the assumption of the Fire
15
District's assets and liabilities to the exercise of that right, the severance provisions are not
16
like those liabilities which the Fire District itself had legitimately incurred, which the
17
Town did assume by operation of law. Those liabilities were all pre-existing liabilities of
18
the Fire District. In addition, those pre-existing liabilities were presumably comparable to
19
the assets of the Fire District that the Town also assumed —such as property, equipment,
20
and tax revenues. This is necessarily so, due to statutory limitations on the Fire District's
21
ability, inter alia, to expend funds, create debt, collect taxes, and retain surpluses. See
22
generally A.R.S. §§ 48-805 to 815.
23
The alleged severance obligation, on the other hand, was never a pre-existing
24
obligation of the Fire District, subjected to the Fire District's budgeting duties and debt
25
limitations. It came to exist only because the Fire District ceased to exist. The Fire
26
District itself never had any liability for making the severance payments. Indeed, the

1 severance provisions effectively attempted to place liability directly and solely on the
2 Town, based on its decision to exercise its rights under A.R.S. § 48-812. The Town
3 received absolutely nothing in exchange. Under the circumstances, this four mullion dollar
4 ($4,000,000) proposed expenditure of Town funds is plainly inequitable and unreasonable
5 and contravenes the gift clause. Because the Town could never obligate itself to such a
6 gift of public funds, the Fire District should not be able to circumvent the gift clause and
7 obligate the Town to the same gift, under the guise of creating an assumable liability of the
8 Fire District.
9 Nor could the Fire District circumvent the debt limitation clause in this manner.
10 Article 9, § 8 of the Arizona Constitution forbids cities and towns and other municipal
11 corporations to become indebted in excess of a certain percentage of the taxable property
12 within their borders. Ariz. Const. art. 9, § 8. The assent of the property taxpayers might
13 raise that debt percentage by a certain degree, but the debt level is still limited. Id. This
14 provision has been held to apply to "not only borrowed money but also any pecuniary
15 obligation created by contract or by express agreement." Rochlin v. State, 112 Ariz. 171,
16 176, 540 P.2d 643, 648 (1975) (citation omitted). Here, the Fire District effectively
17 created an obligation payable only by the Town, without accounting for the Town's debt
18 level and how that debt level might exceed statutory limits due to the severance pay
19 obligation orchestrated by the Fire District. As already discussed above, unlike the pre-
20 existing liabilities of the Fire District, the severance obligation arose only after the Fire
21 District was disbanded. As a matter of public policy, the Town should not be saddled with
22 such an obligation without being able to consider, first, how it would affect the Town's
23 debt level.
24 IV. Conclusion
25 On the basis of each of the separate and distinct arguments presented above, the
26 severance provisions of Plaintiffs' alleged employment contracts are void as against public

Re: Knapp v. Town of Fountain Hills, et al.
Hoffman v. Town of Fountain Hills
Robinson v. Town of Fountain 'Hills
Dear Mr. Farrell:
i want to thank you for meeting with me to discuss Knapp v. Town of Fountain Hills,
et al., Hoffman v. Town of Fountain Hills, and Robinson v. Town of Fountain Hills. 1 am
writing this letter pursuant to Rule 408, Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, and would
request that this letter be kept confidential. Pursuant to your request, I am providing a
written offer covering the terms of a global settlement with the Town of Fountain Hills and
other parties, I have several preliminary statements prior to providing my proposal.
First, I believe the biggest obstacle to resolving this case is the Town's insistence
that Rural Metro be given a one-year contract. Obviously, the biggest liability to the Town
and/or the District is the claim made by my clients. Rural Metro's contract expires at the
end of this month. My clients are seeking their jobs back and are ready to resume work
immediately. If the Town or the District is willing to employ my clients, this case can be
settled very quickly under the proposal outlined below. I believe that a majority of the
parties at yesterday's meeting are astonished that the Town is: (1) insistent on retaining
Rural Metro considering the outcomes of the Mayoral and Council elections and the tax
proposal that was overwhelmingly rejected by the residents of Fountain Hills; and (2)
considering that Rural Metro's financial condition and contract status in other cities and
towns continues to raise questions regarding their ability to provide meaningful fire
protection to the residents of Fountain Hills. The Town has no financial resources to pay
for a municipal fire department. It clearly is not in the financial interest of the Town to
continue to contract with Rural Metro and face this litigation.
Second, I am requesting that the Town of Fountain Hills place several items on their
agenda for Thursday's meeting: (1) consideration of the repeal of Ordinance 01-18; (2)
consideration of hiring plaintiffs in Hoffman and Knapp for a municipal fire department; and

(3) consideration and approval of settlement proposal in Knapp v. Town of Fountain
Hills and Hoffman v. Town of Fountain Hills. I suspect that some of these matters can
be addressed in an open meeting. We are demanding that these issues be addressed
on Thursday.
Third, I request that I be placed on the agenda to address issues before the
Town Council concerning the status of this litigation and to explain to the entire Town
Council the ramifications of taking the destructive course of keeping Rural Metro.
The outline of our'settlement proposal is as follows:
1. The Town of Fountain Hills agrees to:
a. Rescind Ordinance 01-18 and return the authority for fire service to
the Fountain Hills Fire District;
b. Pay damages to the Plaintiffs in Knapp v. Town of Fountain Hills in
the amount of $900,000.00 (non-negotiable);
C. Return all assats and liabilities to the Fountain Hills Fire District
with the exception of any liability related to this litigation;
d. Pay all legal fees and costs of the Plaintiffs in Hoffman v. Town of
Fountain Hills and Robinson v. Town of Fountain Hills;
e. Return the American LaFrance ladder truck to the vendor and
indemnify the Fountain Hills Fire District for any interest and
penalties for any unpaid expenditures; and
f. Retain the employees of the fire department established by the
Fountain Hills Fire District should the residents of Fountain Hills
elect to dissolve the Fountain Hills Fire District on March 3, 2003.
2. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office agrees.
a. The Fountain Hills Fire District lawfully exists and is authorized to
operate as a special taxing district; and

we believe that time is of the essence. In order for the Fountain Hills Fire Board to submit
a budget to Maricopa County, the Board must meet on or before June 9, 2002, and
approve a budget, which must be submitted to Maricopa County on June 10, 2002. We
are requesting that the terms of this settlement be presented to the Town Council for

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Members of the Fountain Hills Town Council
JOHN A. LASOTA, JR.
FROM: Jack LaSota, (volunteer) counsel for four members of the Fountain Hills Fire
District Board
DATE: June 6, 2002
RE: Status of the District
1 have reviewed Arizona Revised Statutes Title 48 ("Special Taxing Districts") and
conclude that there are three ways for a fire district to be terminated.
1. Dissolution following a vote of the District's electors, per A.R.S. § 48-815. This
has not happened to the Fountain Hills Fire District.
2. Dissolution by the County Board of Supervisors following five consecutive years
of inactivity. This too has not happened to the Fountain Hills Fire District.
3. Merger with a city or town if the Fire District's geographic area is (i) entirely
included within a single newly organized city or town, or (ii) is entirely annexed to a single city
or town, and (iii) the city or town elects to provide fire protection services to that geographic
area. This termination is provided for under A.R.S. § 48-812. This also has not happened to the
Fountain Hills Fire District.
This third point is. obviously the subject of contention and litigation. The County
Attorney's Office, in a November 7, 2001 letter to the District and a December 3, 2001 "Notice
of Merger," concluded that a merger with the 'town had occurred by operation of Section 48-812.
The County Attorney's Office directed the County Treasurer to "temporarily suspend processing
of District warrants and checks," freezing the Board's access to District funds and making it
impossible for the District to do business. The County Attorney, in a November 19, 2001 letter,
urged Board members to resign their Board positions by telling them "they would not be listed as
a defendant" in what the Board members were informed (by both of these November letters)
were criminal and civil investigations begun by the County Attorney.

Honorable Members of the Fountain Hills Town Council
Re: Status of the District
June 6, 2002
Page 2
Acting under this extreme duress, the Board agrced to cooperate with the putative merger
and not contest it. Of course, they had no funds with which to do anything. Two of the Board
members, believing the County Attorney's assertions that the District had ceased to exist,
notified the County Attorney that they were resigning as Board members.
Thereafter, three lawsuits concerning the putative merger have been filed and have been
actively pursued. Information developed in those suits indicates that A.R.S. § 48-812 cannot
apply to the Fountain Hills Fire District, because its geographic area is not entirely included in
the 1989 organization (incorporation) of Fountain Hills, nor was its geographic area entirely
annexed by Fountain Hills. Because the November action of the District Board acquiescing in
the "merger" and the December Board member resignations were the product of erroneous
interpretation of A.R-S. § 48-812, along with duress and coercion, the two resignations have now
been rescinded, and a majority of the Board members are ready, willing and able to resume their
stewardship of the District.
I believe as a result of the conversations with Jill Kennedy of the County Attorney's
Office on May 30 and 31 (via telephone) and June 3 (in person, in the presence of ten other
lawyers), that the Office will not oppose a resolution of this dispute regarding fire protection in
Fountain Hills that includes the "resurrection" of the Fountain Hills Fire District as a provider of
fire protection services.

MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR BEYDLER AND
TOWN COUNCI MBERS
FROM: ROY PE TING TOWN MANAGER
DATE: MAY 29, 2
RE: FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL
SERVICES CONTRACT WITH RURAL METRO
Council has previously been forwarded the proposed contract prepared by RTE, Inc. (Bob
Edwards) for the 2002-2003 fiscal year, beginning on July 1, 2002.
This contract provides for all fire suppression, hazardous material incident control,
advanced life support and fire prevention, including fire and life safety in all schools, as
well as fire code administration including new construction code compliance. In
addition, Rural Metro will provide all necessary fire training as required by the State Fire
Marshal, National Fire Protection Administration (NFPA), and Insurance Services Office
(ISO) standards, and call receiving and dispatching by the Rural Metro communications
center.
The cost of the contract for one year is $2,275,672. It provides a 30-day cancellation for
cause, a 90-day cancellation for lack of funding, and a 180-day cancellation without
cause.
Rural Metro will agree to provide emergency medical services on the basis of
reimbursements from insurance coverage for those receiving the service. This will
amount to an estimated $100,000 savings to Town residents in fiscal year 2002-2003. In
addition, Rural Metro will pay the Town $10,000 for the lease of the new ambulance.
The Town will furnish buildings and equipment, and provide building maintenance for
such things as HVAC, parking, and landscaping. Rural Metro will provide utilities, daily
maintenance, telephone service, and perform vehicle maintenance.
It is recommended that the Town Council approve this contract for fiscal year 2002-2003.

Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
I understand you are about to enter into a one-year contract with Rural/Metro and I
agree with this action.
I also see a need for your obtaining any and all information regarding the possibility
of a F.H. Fire Department in the future. Therefore I offer the attached information which
I hope will at least let you know there is more "out there" in the way of protections for
our town.
I apologize for any confusion in this writing as it is a complicated subject and I wrote
it with time constraints. I will be leaving for vacation and I will return on June 16. Upon
my return, should you have any questions, I would be happy to meet with you at your
convenience. If you need clarification sooner, I believe Chief La Grecca would answer
any points I have raised.
Thank you for your consideration, and I know only too well the seriousness of your
work in this matter.
Sincerely,
The Real World of the Fire Service
And How It Applies To Fountain Hills
Rural/Metro:
Rural Metro is a private business enterprise that got its foothold in a young, fiscally
conservative Scottsdale some forty or more years ago. It has always touted itself as a less
expensive way for small towns (originally) and larger towns (later) to have a fire and ambulance
service. R/M expanded its territory and became the choice of many towns, especially in very
fiscally conservative Arizona.
While towns were small and growing this enterprise seemed to work. But the conventional
Fire Service almost anywhere else in this country has always considered R/M as not being
comparable as a result of how it ran its operations. It was always seen as a "bottom line"
business operation, and not meeting the standards developed by the fire community.
One method of promoting itself was to "advise" municipalities that using a lesser number of
personnel on apparatus was an acceptable operational method. This served to keep expenses
down for the communities with which they were attempting to contract (Fountain Hills Fire
District is a good example). As they did in Fountain Hills, R/M would run with less than
adequate numbers of personnel (by Fire Service standards) on an engine company. A town or
district could, of course, require adequate manpower on an engine if it made itself aware of
actual standards, and cared about proper manning. This would indeed raise the cost of a RIM
contract, and when combined with their profit margin, it made R/M non-competitive with the
town's having its own fire department. Thus, R/M would not mention manning to comply with
standards, inferring or actually declaring existing manning was enough. We know this was the
case in Fountain Hills, as per statements made by Fire Board members.
Fountain Hills Fire District:
The district used Rural Metro's advice as it served them well, even to present times. They
could brag about all the money it saved and about the accolades it received as "one of the best
run districts" in Arizona. Again, this was fine as long as everyone including Mayors and Council
members, the business community and the public didn't scratch the surface and learn what was
missing. And the Board could smugly look the other way, with its $1.5 million in the bank. To
them, that meant successful management.
Small, low tax -based Fire districts receive $300,000 yearly from a fund that was created to
help them run their departments. However, the same law that created this fund states that
districts are "obligated" to remove themselves from the fund when they are able to pay for their
own fire department. The Fountain Hills Fire District and its supporters proclaim this funding
was a legitimate reason for maintaining the district, even though Fountain Hills is obviously able
to afford its own department. It is just as obvious that they were using the precious resources of
the fund, siphoning money away from smaller departments for whom the fund was intended.
Unfortunately, again, having a large surplus in the bank account was more important to the
Board than having adequate engine manning and adequate equipment available to respond to
emergencies.
When the district announced it was establishing its own department, that, in and of itself, was
not a problem. One could argue that getting away from Rural/Metro's ill-advised
recommendations was a valid reason to start a department. But, the reality is that the Chairman
of the Fire Board stated in a newspaper column the district would continue using the same
policies offered by RuraVMetro, plus other even worse operational policies of their own.
`%W
Time for A Change?
Citizens need to understand not so much `what they have" in a fire department, but more
importantly, they need to know "what they do not have" in a fire department. The Fire Service
has made huge progress in developing the science and form of fire protection. Wise
communities get involved and learn what they can do to enhance protection in their cities. The
following should assist all Fountain Hills citizens and those who are in positions of responsibility
to understand what "they do not have" in a fire department.
Definitions:
"Mutual Aid" and "Automatic Aid":
Mutual Aid: A fire department responds to an emergency and it is determined more
resources are needed, which are beyond the department's ability to provide. By prior agreement,
other communities can provide additional resources. These actions are not automatic and usually
happen late in the operation and upon specific request. In these cases help can be too late for an
efficient operation, but this assistance is better than nothing.
Automatic Aid: This is a far better agreement than just Mutual Aid (although, both should be
in place) and is now being utilized by most communities.
An alarm is received and instantly the closest engine companies respond, both from the city in
which the emergency is occurring and also, possibly, from a neighboring city. This facilitates
faster response times on cities' boarder areas, and it usually allows adequate resources to respond
to the scene immediately. In addition, other engines automatically "move up" and position
themselves to protect those areas that have sent engines to the original emergency. These same
"move -up" engines are now also positioned to respond to the original emergency, if needed. This
operation is now used in most urban areas and anywhere else where it can be adapted. By
organizing an Automatic Aid system a large pool of resources is made available to each
participating department. Theoretically, enough resources are available for any level of
emergency in any participating town or city regardless of their size. Municipalities realize that
even with their own fully manned units, without this system they may not be able to act rapidly
or strongly enough to adequately protect citizens and property. It is important to understand that
a municipality not participating in Automatic Aid today is isolating itself and has a greatly
reduced capability.
Difference between R/M And The Real Fire Service:
Municipal System (Phoenix Valley Area):
As stated above, there exist an elaborate Automatic Aid system in the valley that provides
member municipalities the quickest response to emergencies in their town or city. It is not
uncommon to have the first arriving units at an emergency scene originating from more than one
municipality. This is due to their being the closest units to the emergency. As the emergency
becomes larger, units from many municipalities can be dispatched to the incident, plus "move -
ups" are dispatched to vacated fire stations whose engines are assisting. This system takes on the
appearance of a county -wide department with all the benefits of many resources available to
member departments, while all departments still remain operated and controlled by their own
cities.
The S sy tem:
• There are two main dispatch centers, Phoenix FD and Mesa FD. These centers are
hard -wired and electronically connected so that if one center fails, the other can take over
dispatching seamlessly.
• GPS (Global Positioning System) units are installed on every member department's front-
line vehicle. This gives responding units foolproof travel guidance to emergencies in
(W unfamiliar communities. It also tells Dispatch where the fire unit is at all times for possible
dispatch.
• All member cities' fire personnel are trained similarly on the system (usually at Phoenix FD).
This ensures the quality of protection is uniform throughout the system.
• A control group, "ROCC" (or "Regional Operation Consistency Committee") composed of
personnel from all member cities meet and develop operational procedures. Every member
department has a manual that outlines common procedures and the committee is responsible
for guaranteeing uniform standards of operation among member departments.
• All member departments in the system must have four firefighters on an engine. This
complies with the most recent Fire Service standards, which address both firefighter and
citizen safety. This is not optional, and for a city to avail itself to the system's benefits it
must be able to reciprocate in -kind by manning its engines similarly.
Rural/Metro System:
Rural Metro has Automatic Aid within its own system. Fountain Hills is getting additional
engines and ambulances that respond from Scottsdale, even though the manning is not on a par
with valley municipal departments.
(Regarding the Fire Board's starting its own department, this R/M Automatic Aid from
Scottsdale would have disappeared. Since we could not qualify to become a member of the
valley system due to the Board's mandated inferior manning policies, we would have had no
Automatic Aid. This didn't seem important to the board. This loss would have been potentially
disastrous for the town.
What Ifs:
Scenario #1:
Fountain Hills remains with R/M and Scottsdale develop its own department (and
subsequently qualifies for and becomes a participant in the valley Automatic Aid system).
The question is: "Where does Fountain Hills get its Automatic Aid." Being isolated from any
adjacent R/M departments, there would be no meaningful Automatic Aid. We would be forced
then to upgrade our manning to four firefighters per engine to get Automatic Aid from Scottsdale
even with a private agreement. (This is not a bad thing to do, either.) But that most likely would
make it unprofitable to remain with Rural/Metro.
Scenario #2•
Scottsdale remains in the R/M system, and Fountain Hills gets its own department and joins
the valley's countywide system. The question unfortunately is "Where does Fountain Hills get its
functional Automatic Aid". We wouldn't get it from R/M in Scottsdale (they don't carry four
firefighters on each engine in the R/M system) and we are too isolated to get meaningful
Automatic Aid from the countywide system of which we would be a member.
Comment:
The easy solution is to put our heads in the sand and pretend Automatic Aid is irrelevant.
Or we can start investigating what is "out there" in the way of modern advances, current
thinking in the Fire Service, and systems that are in place that assist Towns like Fountain Hills.
It would appear the best scenario is that both Scottsdale and Fountain Hills have their own
departments and join the valley's countywide system. Should this take place, it would be
beneficial if both cities started conferencing and developing ideas such as "Joint Powers"
agreements or other productive solutions to problems.
Failing that, it would benefit us that both Scottsdale and Fountain Hills remain with
Rural/Metro, even at the risk of being excluded from a far better countywide Automatic Aid
system.
What would be disastrous to Fountain Hills is to not be connected to some form of
Automatic -Aid system. Through its provincial and myopic view, this is the exact disastrous
position in which the Fire Board placed the Town when it unilaterally decided on its own
department, without having all the pieces in place.

Section 305: Selection of Special Judicial Officers
A. Applicability. Unless otherwise provided by court rule or code section, the following standards
shall govern the selection of all special judicial officers including judges pro tempore,
commissioners, hearing officers and juvenile court referees appointed by the chief justice or by
any judge or on the recommendation of any chief judge, presiding judge, chief magistrate or
justice of the peace. Judges responsible for appointing or recommending appointment of special
judicial officers shall adopt written selection procedures and file them with the Clerk of the
Supreme Court. The procedures for city courts shall be consistent with existing provisions of
city charters and ordinances.
B. Purpose. This section is intended to result in selection of special judicial officers, through an
open process, who are highly competent and highly respected by their peers and clients and who
bring a diversity of background and experience to the bench. Those who seek the aid of the
courts are entitled to the same quality of justice from the judiciary whether the judicial officer
is a regularly elected or appointed judge or a person temporarily serving as a judge.
C. Qualifications. Persons applying for judicial office shall meet the minimum qualifications
required by law and such special qualifications for the position as maybe established by the chief
justice, the chief judge, the presiding judge or the chief magistrate.
D. Procedures.
1. Public Announcement. The judge shall adopt procedures that provide for public
announcement of an opening for any judicial position. The announcement shall include, at
a minimum, the qualifications for the position, an equal opportunity statement and the hiring
authority. The judge shall assure that the announcement is publicized in such a manner that
all attorneys, including minority and women attorneys, and other qualified persons within the
jurisdiction of the applicable court would be reasonably expected to become aware of the
announcement.
2. Application. The judge shall adopt procedures that establish an open application process.
The procedures shall require that applicants for special judicial office complete a written
application in which they indicate all aspects of their background, qualifications and
experience relevant to the judicial position. Applicants shall have the opportunity to submit
letters of reference. The judge shall assure that applicants are advised of the ethical
restrictions on the practice of law contained in the Code of Judicial Conduct which relate to
service as a special judicial officer.
3. Selection.
a. Full-time Special Judicial Officers. The judge shall establish a selection committee.
In appointing that committee, the judge shall be sensitive to representation reflecting the
racial, ethnic, gender and political diversity of the community served by that judge's
court. The procedures shall require that selection committee members disclose to each
other and to the judge any cause for bias in favor or against any applicant reviewed. The
judge shall assure that selection committee members are informed of their responsibility
to recruit qualified applicants, including qualified minority and women applicants, who
may not otherwise apply.
The procedures adoptedpursuant to this section shall establish a screening process which
provides for the selection committee to review applications, interview selected applicants
and recommend one or more applicants. The screening process may include review of
advisory committee recommendations and comment by other judges of the court on
which the appointee will serve.
b. Part -Time Special Judicial Officers. A judge who uses part -rime special judicial
officers shall adopt a procedure for selecting one or more persons to serve as part-time
special judicial officers. This procedure shall include review by the appointing authority
or a designated person or committee of applications or letters of application and any
letters of reference submitted.
E. Temporary Appointment. The procedures shall provide for appointment ofj udges pro tempore
on a temporary full -rime basis without following the adopted selection process and shall provide
that the selection process shall be followed before a continuing appointment is made.
F. Education. The procedures shall require that all special judicial officers receive orientation and;
for full-time special judicial officers, ongoing education appropriate to the special judicial
officer's duties and comparable to that received by other judges on the same court.
G. Evaluation. The procedures shall require periodic evaluation of full-time special judicial
officers governed by this code section at least prior to the reappointment of each special judicial
officer. The procedures shall require that information is obtained from both professional and
public participants in the legal process. Any complaints received concerning a part-time special
judicial officer shall be considered prior to reappointment.

To: Roy Pederson
Town Manager
From: Scott La Greca
Fire Chief
Date: May 31, 2002
Subject: Fireworks
This morning I surveyed the Town washes and arroyos in general and the potential fall
out areas (based on the past six years) around Fountain Park in particular. As expected
all areas are extremely dry. I must complement the Street Department for their effort to
keep the road easements clear of flash fuels.
Fall -out Areas
I found the Colony Wash branch, which borders Puerto del Lago and Morningside
communities to have extremely dense post clearance growth, with numerous structures
within potential flame reach. The Lakeside community and a SRP sub -station border the
main Colony Wash, which is also a potential risk area. The Diamante del Lago
community has one very dry wash that would also need oversight and protection.
Wash's and Arroyo's
The dry condition of the Town's open space leaves the land vulnerable to potential fall-
out from the expected use of illegal fireworks. Should this occur the fire department
would have to re -deploy our assets from Fountain Park, which would delay or cause the
show to be cancelled?
Action
Due to the above stated concerns, I believe the potential risk present this year far
outweighs the enjoyment our community receives from this annual event. Therefore, in
the interest of the overall safety of our community, I have instructed the Fire Marshal not
to issue a permit for the Annual Fourth of July Fireworks Show.
Should you need further information, please call.

Mr. Roy Pederson
Town Manager
Town of Fountain Hills
16836 E. Palisades Blvd., Bldg A
Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
Dear Mr. Pederson,
On May 31 St, I surveyed the Town washes and arroyos in the designated fall -out areas for the
July 4th aerial fireworks show. These fall -out areas were determined from the history of having
the show in the same location over the years and understanding the wind direction pattern from
previous shows. Upon completion of this survey, I issued a letter to you stating the Fire
Department concerns from the very dry conditions and stated that I had instructed the Fire
Marshal not to issue a permit for the July 41h fireworks shoot. That decision prompted discussion
from Town and community leadership and a request that the decision be reconsidered and/or
what other options may be acceptable to the Fire Department under the current dry desert
conditions.
Although I still feel that the use of aerial fireworks will pose a particularly high fire risk this
year, discussion with the Fire Marshal has produced a possible second option under the
following guidelines.
1) Fall -out from the aerial shells shall fall within the Fountain Park boundaries. Due to the
shoot site position, this will mean that the largest shell size allowed will be 3" in
diameter. This shell size requires a 280' diameter circle around the launch site. That
distance guideline is based on windless conditions, which historically do not happen
during the summer months in Fountain Hills.
2) The Fountain Hills Fire Department shall have the final determination if the show will
be produced due to any weather related developments.
3) Should other emergency responses within the Town deplete the Fire Department
resources on site at the Park, the show shall be delayed until sufficient Fire Department
resources are available or cancelled if an extensive delay is apparent.
4) Due to the wind effect created by the running of the Fountain, the Fountain shall not be
run during the shooting of the fireworks aerial display.
Page 2
5) The Fire Chief has full and final authority to delay, postpone or cancel the aerial shoot
based on public safety concerns.
As a point of reference, the Fountain Hills High School graduation on May 25`h, had an aerial
fireworks show using 2 %" shells with a 140' fall -out area. Some of the fall -out from these 2 '/2"
shells landed outside the fall -out area and started a small brush fire. Dry desert conditions have
only gotten worse and with the summer evening winds, the probability of hot shell casing pieces
landing outside the fall -out area is high.
However, should the Town Council of Fountain Hills decide that the July 4`h aerial fireworks
show should continue under the above guidelines, rest assured that the Fountain Hills Fire
Department will prepare and man appropriately to provide the Town and the citizens with the
utmost of service and fire protection.
Our only other thought is that the Town considers a non -pyrotechnic celebration.
R pectfully,
Scott LaGreca
Fire Chief
