RE: Liquor Application Update —Silver
Stein
I spoke to Maria Maldonado a Special Investigator with the State of Arizona Department
of Liquor Licenses and Control this morning. She told me that she has completed a site
inspection of the Silver Stein. In her site inspection she had several areas of concern. She
stated that the Liquor License, Restaurant #12 requires that 40% of its sales be food. She
believes that the ratio is more in the area of 10%. She pointed out that the menu is more a
bar type menu than a restaurant. When she looked at the available seating, she observed
that the major was of bar stools and cocktail type tables and not the typical tables found
in a restaurant. Inspector Maldonado said, "She did not sign off on the inspection."
She also told me that she would be protesting the application until the owner makes some
changes. Inspector Maldonado told me that she has communicated her concerns with the
owner.

RE: Liquor License Application — Silver
Stein
The purpose of this memorandum to provide new information regarding the liquor license
application for the Silver Stein and request that approval of the license be pulled from the
Council agenda for April 3rd
On March 12`h of this year I completed a background investigation on applicant James
Rooney. I had questions regarding his criminal record and contacted the Arizona
Department of Liquor, Licenses and Control. I spoke with an investigator there about the
record of applicant James Rooney and recommended approval of the liquor license
application based on the information I obtained. Today, I was contacted by Maria
Maldonado, Special Investigator with the Arizona Department of Liquor, Licenses and
Control. She advised that she had been to the Silver Stein and spoken with Owner James
Rooney. She reported that she does not believe that the business is devoting 40% of its
sales to service of food, as is required of a class 12 license. She also reported that she has
concerns over the past criminal record of applicant James Rooney. She told me that she
will be contacting her supervisor who will follow up with an investigation of the
business.
I have contacted James Rooney, ownerpf the Silver Stein, and made him aware that the,
liquor license application will be pulled from the Council agenda for April 3rd and that the
Marshals Department will wait to hear from the investigator of the Arizona Department
of Liquor, Licenses and Control before proceeding with a recommendation on approval
of the liquor license. As a result of these findings, I am requesting that the liquor license
application for the Silver Stein be pulled from the April 3rd Council meeting and held
pending the outcome of an investigation by the Arizona Department of Liquor, Licenses
and Control.

RE: Liquor License Application — Silver
Stein
The purpose of this memorandum is to forward an endorsement of the attached liquor
license application for the "Silver Stein" located at 17030 Enterprise Drive in Fountain
Hills. It is my understanding that the application is scheduled for consideration at the
Council session on April 3rd.
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION:
This application is for a new Class 12 liquor license under the specification 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. A review of the site plan indicated
that well over that percentage is devoted to food preparation and service. Liquor sales
would be incidental to the food service as intended by the class 12 license.
A Class 12 license is exempt from normal restrictions relating to churches, schools and
nearby liquor establishments. However, the local jurisdiction does have the ability to
determine if there is a proliferation of liquor establishments in the vicinity. A review of
license holders in the immediate area indicates there are five class 12s, two class 10s, and
one class 6 within one-half mile. These licenses are consistent with the commercial
zoning and do not represent a proliferation issue in this case.
The applicant, James J. Rooney, is an Arizona resident under the provisions of ARS Title
28. I have verified that he has no outstanding wants or warrants. James R. Rooney who
is listed as a co-owner and corporate partner is also an Arizona resident. There are no
outstanding wants or warrants on either individual.
Additionally, the owners have applied for and received a Fountain Hills business license
(#6201) for the restaurant/pub.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on compliance with Title 4 relating to the Class 12 liquor license, the fact that the
applicants are Arizona residents with no wants or warrants, and that the owners have
procured a Fountain Hills business license, I recommend approval by the Council at the
April 3rd Council meeting.

FR:
Dana Burkhardt; Senior Planner
RE:
Temporary
TU2003-04; Farmers Market
Use Permit
At the June 5, 2003 Town Council meeting the Council discussed this temporary use request.
Due to a procedural gap in the motion to approve this agenda item, Staff has placed this item on
the consent agenda for the June 19, 2003 Town Council meeting with the stipulations as
amended at the June 5, 2003 Town Council meeting. Staff recommends the Town Council
approve this temporary use request with the following stipulations:
1) This temporary use permit shall expire one year from the date of Town Council
approval (June 19, 2004).
2) The applicant shall provide designated pedestrian access by the use of roping, signage, and
barricades or similar methods, to be approved by Town staff, prior to public access.
3) All signage shall be approved by separate permit.
4) The open-air market shall be open to the public between the hours of 9 A.M. and 5 P.M.,
each Tuesday. All items and equipment for the open-air market must be removed from the
site at the end of each business day.
5) In the event that vertical structures, such as canopies or membrane type structures are
requested, administrative approval is required. All temporary structures must conform to
the minimum required building setbacks of the "TCC" Zoning District.
6) Obtain all necessary approvals and permits from Maricopa County Health Department
prior to operation.
7) This temporary use permit is non -transferable and shall become null and void with the
issuance of a building permit for a permanent structure for the same location.
8) Each vendor shall be required to obtain a business license pursuant to §8-1-10 of the Town
Code (retail merchants... with a fixed place of business within the town limits...). At time
of business license application, each vendor shall submit to the Town, written consent from
the property owner to locate on the site.
9) The applicant shall provide a list of all vendors' State of Arizona Sales Tax Identification
number and lease space number to the Town Accountant, or his/her designee, on a monthly
basis.
10) The applicant shall notify the Town in writing if the event is not going to be held, at least
three days prior to the date of the event. If the Town is not informed and the event is not
performed, that day will be counted against the 50 events per calendar year.

LOCATION: 16524 Laser Drive, aka Final Plat 412-A, Block 5, Lots 7 & 8.
REQUEST: Consider the replat of Lots 7 & 8, Block 5, Final Plat 412-A, a lot join project.
PROJECT MANAGER: Denise Ruhling, Planner
DESCRIPTION:
OWNER: Tom Bureson
APPLICANT: Tom Bureson
EXISTING ZONING: "IND-1"
EXISTING CONDITION: Developed and occupied
LOT SIZE: Lot 7 — 1.181 acres & Lot 8 — 1.102 acres
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING:
NORTH: Firerock Golf Course and Hillside Protection Area; zoned "OSR"
SOUTH: Laser Drive Industrial Condos; zoned "IND-2"
EAST: Industrial Building; zoned "IND-2"
WEST: Industrial Building; zoned "IND-2"
SUMMARY:
This request is for approval of a Replat of Final Plat 412-A, Block 5, Lots 7 & 8, which is a lot join
project and is not a land sell project. Due to the simplicity of this request and the fact that this project
does not involve any off -site public improvements, a "fast track" process is being allowed.
The site has one existing building, constructed prior to current ordinances, which is built across the
common lot line. It is the desire of the applicant to construct additional buildings on this lot. It is a
requirement of the proposed development that these lots be joined thus eliminating the non -conforming
status of the existing building.
The joining of these lots is in conformance with our Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of S2003-06; Final Plat 412-A, Lots 7 & 8.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Town Council

FR: Denise Ruhling, Planner
RE: Avenue of the Fountains Request for
Proposal Award Recommendation
On February 20, 2003, Town Council approved the processing of a Request for Proposal to
solicit bids to produce a Concept Plan for the Avenue of the Fountains.
On March 13, 2003, Staff mailed the Request for Proposal to approximately 30 companies (see
attached list) with a deadline for response of April 15, 2003. Staff also advertised the RFP in the
Fountain Hills Times. Eleven proposals were received. The proposals were distributed to the
Review Team (team consisted of Denise Ruhling, Town of Fountain Hills; Tom Ward, Town of
Fountain Hills; Greg Bielli, MCO; Judi Yates, Downtown Consensus Team Representative; and
Lowell Jensen, Plat 208 Representative). The team was asked to review the proposals and select
the top five (5) respondents. The team then met on May 21, 2003, and shared their thoughts and
selections. This meeting narrowed the proposals to the top three (3). Those three proposals were
provided by:
Bidder
Total Projected Cost
Abell & Associates
$37,350
Design Workshop/
Spectrum Planning
$30,400
e-Group$13,000
The Review Team held interviews on June 3, 2003, with representatives of the top three (3)
proposals. Based upon the written proposals and the information provided at interview, the
Review Team recommends award to Design Workshop/Spectrum Planning.
The team has not recommended the lowest bidder based upon the following:
a) E-Group has provided a bid that is 42% of the next lowest bidder. The team
expressed concerns over the low bid and to the possibility of change orders that
would increase the cost of the process.
b) The team expressed concerns regarding performance of this bidder on previous
projects within the Town of Fountain Hills.
c) Bidder's presentation at interview was found lacking compared to the
presentations provided by Abell & Associates and Design Workshop/Spectrum
Planning.
Avenue of the Fountains RFP Award
d) During interview bidder did not seem to be open to input on concepts. It appeared
that many ideas have already been conceived and that this bidder would use those
opinions to try to sway the public's opinion on what it is that they want to see in
the downtown area. Design Workshop/Spectrum Planning was very open to input
and provided information on how they obtain and process information provided in
community/public meetings to obtain a concept plan that would reflect the desires
of the community.
As stated in the proposal, Design Workshop/Spectrum Planning is comprised of two separate
companies teaming together to work on this project. Design Workshop is a firm with eight
offices located in North Carolina, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, and
Arizona. Their experience ranges from small communities, to resort planning, and community
planning. Many of their prior projects are similar in nature to the Avenue of the Fountains with
the same pedestrian safety and traffic flow concerns. Projects have included: Kierland
Commons; Gardens on El Paseo; The Commons Neighborhood Streetscapes; Estrella New
Community; and Western Area Power Association, to name just a few. Mark Soden,
representative for Design Workshop, is a licensed landscape architect and is a member of the
American Institute of Certified Planners. His experience includes over twenty years in
streetscape design. Mark serves on the City of Scottsdale Development Review Board and
understands the municipal process.
Spectrum Brand Planning specializes in "Place Branding", the development of strategic plans to
weave a community's unique values for each cornerstone into physical and marketing
16, communications that represent the community. Karen Marvel has vast experience in developing
and executing strategies and tactics. Karen has a background in retail branding for such
companies as Jiffy Lube, Midas, Moses Anshell, Petsmart, and Dial. She has worked with the
Arizona Department of Commerce, Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau, Arizona Office
of Tourism, Greater Prescott Region and Prescott Valley Economic Development Foundation.
It is the Review Teams opinion that the combination offered by Design Workshop and Spectrum
Brand Planning will be a great asset to the development of Avenue of the Fountains, lending a
mix of retail experience with land planning to create a downtown area that can fulfill the needs
of the businesses and our community.
Again, the Review Team recommends award to Design Workshop/Spectrum Brand Planning in
the amount of $30,400. The budgeted amount for the Development of the Concept Plan is set at
$25,000. I have contacted Julie Ghetti in accounting to verify that the additional funding may be
taken from the construction budget.

RE: Alternative Hillside Preservation
Agreement for the Trevino Business Center;
Case #S2002-55
LOCATION: The unplatted parcel of land located west of Saguaro Blvd., north of
Trevino Dr., and east of Burkemo Dr.
REQUEST: Consideration to accept the Alternative Hillside Preservation
Agreement for the "Trevino Business Center", a nine building,
34,408 square foot professional office complex.
OWNER: GMCAR, LLC
APPLICANT: Carl Bommarito
EXISTING ZONING: "C-1" Neighborhood Commercial and Professional Zoning District
PARCEL SIZE: 5.5 ac (239,433.39 sf)
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING:
NORTH: Single-family residences ; zoned "R1-35"
SOUTH: Retail development; zoned "C-1"
EAST: Multi -family development and vacant commercial lot; zoned "R-5 & C-1"
WEST: Vacant single-family lot; zoned "R1-35"
SUMMARY:
The primary purpose of this agreement is to allow the development of the property utilizing an
alternative land preservation methodology. The proposed alternative hillside preservation
agreement would provide a contiguous open space buffer between the commercial and
residential properties, rather than isolated pockets of hillside protection easements throughout the
site. The agreement also proposes considerations for off -site improvements, such as the
sidewalk locations and proposed Trevino Drive right-of-way improvements.
EVALUATION:
Under the existing land preservation requirements defined in Section 504 of the Subdivision
Ordinance, this project is required to preserve 57,407 sf. of all slopes between 10-20% gradient,
4,812 sf. of all slopes between 20-30% gradient, and 354.6 sf. of all slopes greater than 30%
gradient. The agreement proposes to preserve 36,535 sf. of all slopes between 10-20% gradient
(20,872 sf. less than required), 3,675 sf. of all slopes between 20-30% gradient (1,137 sf less
than required), and 391 sf. of all slopes greater than 30% gradient (35 sf. beyond the required).
The total area proposed for preservation of all slopes greater than 10% is 40,601 sf., which is
21,972.6 square feet less than the required 62,573.6 sf. All slopes less than 10% are not
considered hillside and may be 100% disturbed. The total proposed hillside protection easement
area including slopes less than 10% is 65,217 sf. The developer is providing a hillside protection
area approximately 2,500 square feet larger than that required by the Subdivision Ordinance, but
24,553 sf. of that area is less than 10% gradient, which does not count toward meeting the
hillside preservation requirement of the Subdivision Ordinance.
The applicant has proposed this alternative hillside methodology based on the Plat 414, Lots 68
& 69 Alternative Hillside Protection Agreement. The majority of the Plat 414 property was
previously graded after the Town's incorporation and utilized as an effluent irrigation field and
construction equipment parking lot for the adjacent properties. Approximately 14.4% of the
topography of Lots 68 & 69 exceeds 10% gradient, and approximately 37% of the Trevino Drive
property exceeds 10% gradient. This illustrates the fact that the Trevino Drive property has
substantially more native hillside than Plat 414 Lots 68 and 69, though the two properties are
approximately the same size.
The hillside protection easement granted to the Town over the Plat 414 property consists of an
area of approximately 35,265.5 square feet. 87% of the Plat 414 hillside protection easement is
less than 10% gradient. The proposed Trevino Business Center alternative hillside agreement
provides the Town with 65,217 square feet of hillside protection, of which 38% of the slopes are
less than 10% gradient.
The primary reason for the Plat 414 agreement was to provide an adequate landscape buffer
between the future industrial development and the adjacent residences, even though 87% of that
HPE is less than 10% gradient. All other alternative hillside protection agreements approved by
the Town on commercial properties have provided a payment in lieu of hillside protection,
equaling approximately one dollar per square foot of proposed disturbance beyond that permitted
by the Subdivision Ordinance. The total area of hillside disturbance proposed beyond what is
allowed by the Subdivision Ordinance is approximately 21,926 square feet. The agreement
provides a payment in lieu of the required preservation in the amount of $21,926.00 and the
developer revegetate the previously disturbed areas within the proposed HPE. The payment in
lieu provides for the transfer of hillside protection from this property to the McDowell Mountain
Preserve purchased by the Town.
The Town of Fountain Hills General Plan encourages open space/landscape buffers between
commercial and residential zoning districts, as well as the preservation of contiguous natural
areas. In summary, staff believes that the contiguous hillside protection easement buffer meets
the intention of the Town's General Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached Alternative Hillside Preservation Agreement for the
"Trevino Business Center".

ALTERNATIVE HILLSIDE PRESERVATION AGREEMENT
THIS ALTERNATIVE HILLSIDE PRESERVATION AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement") is entered into 2003, by and between TOWN OF
FOUNTAIN HILLS, an Arizona municipal corporation (the "Town") and GMCAR, L.L.C., an
Arizona Limited Liability Company (the "Developer").
V.-WOWN01
A. The Developer is the owner of certain real Property located within the Town of
Fountain Hills, Arizona consisting of approximately 5.49 acres, legally described and depicted
on Exhibit A hereto and incorporated herein by reference and commonly known as the Trevino
Business Center (the "Property" or the "Project").
B. The Town, through its subdivision ordinance regulations (the "Subdivision
Ordinance"), is requiring Developer to maintain a portion of the Property as natural open space
in order to preserve a portion of the hillside slopes (designated as "Hillside Preservation
Easement" on Exhibit A) on the Property (collectively, the "Preservation Requirement").
C. The Developer and the Town are entering into this Agreement pursuant to the
provisions of ARIZ. REv. STAT. § 9-500.05 in order to facilitate the development of the Property
by providing for an alternative means for Developer to satisfy the Preservation Requirement of
Section 504 of the Subdivision Ordinance to ensure compliance with the Preservation
Requirement through the Alternative Preservation Plan, as more particularly identified and
described on the Slope Analysis, dated February 11, 2003, prepared by Montgomery Engineering
& Management, L.L.C. and the document entitled "Proposed Alternative Hillside Preservation
Requirement for Trevino Business Center, dated December 11, 2002, both attached as Exhibit B
hereto (collectively, the "Alternative Preservation Plan").
D. The Developer acknowledges that the Alternative Preservation Plan will benefit
the Developer by allowing for the designation of a contiguous parcel of land to satisfy the
Preservation Requirement instead of requiring Developer to reserve multiple, disconnected
smaller areas throughout the Property, a requirement that would hinder development of the
Property while not furthering the Town's preservation goals.
E. The Town acknowledges that the Alternative Preservation Plan will benefit the
Town by reserving a larger area of open space, approximately 1.5 acres of preservation land
instead of the approximately 1.34 acres that is required by the Preservation Requirement. The
Alternative Preservation Plan would also provide a buffer between the single-family zoned
neighborhoods to the north and west of the Trevino Business Center.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises and
covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

ALTERNATIVE HILLSIDE PRESERVATION AGREEMENT
THIS ALTERNATIVE HILLSIDE PRESERVATION AGREEMENT (this

by providing for an alternative means for Developer to satisfy the Preservation Requirement of
Section 504 of the Subdivision Ordinance to ensure compliance with the Preservation

EXHIBIT "B"
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE HILLSIDE PRESERVATION
REQUIREMENT FOR TREVINO BUSINESS CENTER
INTRODUCTIONBACKGROUND INFORMATION
The proposed Trevino Business Center consists of platting of undeveloped land at the
northwest corner of Saguaro Blvd. and Trevino Drive in Fountain Hills, Arizona. The
proposed development is approximately 5.5 acres in size. The property is bounded by
Trevino Drive to the south, Saguaro Drive to the east, Burkemo Drive to the west, and
residential lots to the north. The adjacent land use zoning and/or development in the area
consists of Rl-8 to the north, multi -family to the east, RI-35 to the west, and C-1 to the
south.
PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
One of the key considerations of this proposed alternative method of "Preservation
Requirement" is a buffer zone at residential zoning districts adjacent to the east, north
and west boundaries of the site. The C-1 zoning requirements for this site require a 10-
foot building setback along the north side and 25 foot along the east and west sides.
Therefore, site grading and vegetation disturbance could occur right up to the property
line. If this were to occur there would be virtually no natural, or otherwise, "buffer"
between the single-family zoned properties and this proposed commercial development.
The land use zoning of the remaining adjacent properties along Saguaro Drive and
Trevino Drive are more similar and compatible with the zoning of this development.
Therefore there is much less concern for providing buffering along these areas of the site
as compared to the residential land use.
As a result, GMCAR, LLC, the developer and applicant, is proposing to create and
designate a natural open space area along the entire northern and western boundaries (less
a strip of land for a drainage easement) plus a portion of the east boundary of the site.
This open space area is proposed to be designated as separate Hillside Protection
Easements at areas "A" "B" AND "C". Areas "A" `B" and "C" would serve as the
total "Preservation Requirement" for the entire Trevino Business Center.
Some of the benefits of this proposed alternative preservation method are as follows:
• All of the natural vegetation and topography within the proposed Hillside Protection
Easements will be preserved.
• The current building setback requirements do not guarantee preservation of the
natural vegetation and topography along the north, east and west sides of the site.
• This proposed method concentrates all of the preservation area in three large masses,
where as the general Section 504 Hillside Disturbance requirement would create
much smaller and segregated pockets of preservation area throughout the subdivision.
• This proposed method would provide a natural vegetative buffer strip ranging in
width from 23 feet to more the 85 feet along adjacent residential zoning areas
providing a natural area buffer that is larger than the 10 foot and 25 foot building
setbacks.
• This proposed method provides the maximum buffer area for the single family
residential properties along the north and west sides of the subject site.
• Using the standard preservation requirement, approximately 62,574 square feet of
land in total would be required for preservation. This alternative method would
provide approximately 65,217 square feet of preservation or approximately 2643
more square feet of land area preserved in total.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it is believed that this proposed Alternative Hillside Preservation method
will provide more total preservation area and strategically locate a much larger natural
open space buffer strip along the northern, western, and eastern boundaries of the site
where residential zoning is adjacent to this site. This method will have a greater benefit to
the nearby residents.

RE: Possible Amendments to the Sign
Ordinance
A -Frame Signs:
On May 1, 2003, the Town council approved Ordinance #03-07 amending Chapter 6 of the Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Sign Regulations. During discussion of the ordinance the Council directed
staff to draft an amendment to provide regulations on A -Frame Signs.
Attached is staff recommendation for A -Frame Sign regulations. These regulations limit the number of
signs to one per business; require a permit; and outline placement and design requirements.
Staff is requesting your input and direction on these requirements.
Neon:
At the time of the adoption as stated above the Town Council directed staff to eliminate neon signs as
an allowed use. Staff is requesting that Town Council revisit the idea of neon as an allowed use.
The original proposal was to allow neon as follows:
a) As part of a wall sign.
b) For window signage a maximum size of four (4) square feet.
Staff proposes that neon as part of a wall sign be eliminated but that neon be allowed as stated in (b)
above. Thus allowing businesses the flexibility to use neon in window signage. The majority of the
businesses that have contacted staff have indicated that the only neon they are asking for is to be used
as an open sign. While it is true that we would not be regulating the content the size allowed is not
conducive to being used as a main part of their advertising.

DT: June 11, 2003
Council
FR: Tim Pickering, Town Manager /,,�
Fire Protection and Emergency
Medical Services Contract with Rural
Metro
The staff recommends approval of the attached amendment to the existing Rural Metro
agreement. The current agreement was negotiated by RTE, Inc. (Bob Edwards). Rural Metro
and I negotiated the amendment. I have also reviewed Scottsdale and Paradise Valley
agreements for comparison purposes.
SERVICES PROVIDED
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. Rural Metro has agreed to
continue to provide emergency medical services on the basis of reimbursements from insurance
coverage for Fountain Hills residents receiving this service. 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 agreement amendment also allows
Fountain Hills to continue to be connected to Scottsdale's automatic aid system.
According to monthly reports provided by Rural Metro, service calls focus on two major areas:
snake calls and e.m.s. runs. Over the recent six-month period from November 2002 to April
2003, service calls for snake removal and lockouts equaled 36% of the call volume, while
emergency medical service (e.m.$) calls equaled 51% of the volume. Other types of calls
included handling traffic accidents and hazardous materials emergencies.
COST
The cost of the FY 2003-2004 contract is $2,283,480 or only $7,808 more than the previous
fiscal year. This is possible due to the reduction in administrative overhead. It will have no
affect on life safety or emergency medical services. By leaving the Assistant Chief position
vacant and keeping the reassigned duties as they exist today for the upcoming fiscal year and
eliminating the secretarial position, the Town is able to save $105,975. With the defeat of
Proposition 400, the Town needs to be financially prudent.
EXTENSION AND CANCELLATION
The existing contract allows the Town to extend the contract for one year commencing July 1,
2003, through June 30, 2004. Due to the possible establishment of a fire district, Rural Metro, as
well as the Town staff is cautious to extend the contract beyond this point. The agreement may
be terminated without cause or for lack of funding with 90-day notice, and for cause with a 30-
day notice.
WHAT THE TOWN FURNISHES
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. Rural Metro will maintain all
Town owned fire and emergency medical apparatus and equipment with the Town paying Rural
Metro 10% per item on repairs.
I recommend a motion to approve the amendment extending Rural Metro's agreement. The
Town Attorney has reviewed the contract and amendment. Should you have any questions
please do not hesitate to contact me.

shall not be included which occur during the time in which
Rural/Metro has sent an emergency or fire apparatus vehicle, which is
assigned to the primary service area to an area other than the primary
service area.
d. The response time requirements of this Agreement shall be suspended
during a declared disaster in the community of The Town of Fountain
Hills or in a neighboring jurisdiction, which has requested assistance
30
M
from Rural/Metro. For the purpose of this provision, the declaration of
disaster must be made or affirmed by the chief executive officer of that
particular jurisdiction or his/her designee.
e. In cases of multiple response runs, (i.e., where more than one fire unit
is sent to the same incident), only the response of the first arriving unit
shall be counted for purposes of measuring Rural/Metro's response
time performance.
f. Petitioning. Where not specifically set forth in this appendix,
Rural/Metro may petition The Town of Fountain Hills for an exception
to the response time requirements when, due to circumstances beyond
the control of Rural/Metro, they are unable to meet the required
response time on a specific incident. Rural/Metro shall document said
unusual circumstances, the time period affected, and the affected
response times. Rural/Metro shall forward such reports to The Town
of Fountain Hills, who will make a determination as to whether to
exclude or include the affected response time.
g. Any excluded incident cannot be applied to any of Rural/Metro's
performance statistics set forth in sections (b)(c)(d).

extend beyond the later of the termination or expiration of that certain Fire
Protection Services Agreement between Lessor and Lessee dated as of
July 1, 2002 (the "Services Agreement") or the date on which Lessee ceases to
provide fire protection services to Lessor.
As rent for the Vehicle throughout the term of this lease, Lessee hereby agrees to

only to the extent of any net proceeds received from insurance on the vehicle.
4. Warranties. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES AS TO THE VEHICLES
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND LESSOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

ARISING OUT OF THE VEHICLES. Lessee agrees to make the rental and other
payments required hereunder without regard to the condition of the Vehicles or
any part thereof and to look only to the manufacturer, vendor or carrier thereof
should the Vehicles, when received, be defective in any manner, or should the
Vehicles or any part thereof for any reason other than improper maintenance
resulting from the nonperformance of Lessor's duties described above, be
inoperative or defective.

hereunder; or (3) the making by the Lessee of an assignment for the benefit of

18. Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises among the parties in connection with this
Agreement, or any instruments delivered in connection herewith, including
without limitation an alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
herein or therein, or a disagreement regarding the interpretation of any provision
hereof or thereof (the "Dispute"), the parties agree to use the following procedure
in good faith prior to any party pursuing other available judicial or non judicial
remedies:
a. A meeting shall be held among the parties within ten (10) days
after any party gives written notice of the Dispute to each other party (the
"Dispute Notice") attended by a representative of each party having
decision -making authority regarding the Dispute (subject to board of
directors or equivalent approval, if required), to attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the Dispute.
b. If, within thirty (30) days after the Dispute Notice, the parties have
not succeeded in negotiating a written resolution of the Dispute, upon
written request by any party to each other party all parties will promptly
negotiate in good faith to jointly appoint a mutually acceptable neutral
person not affiliated with any of the parties (the "Neutral"). If all parties
so agree in writing, a panel of two or more individuals (such panel also
being referred to as the "Neutral") may be selected by the parties. The
parties shall seek assistance in such regard from the American Arbitration
Association or the Center for Public Resources if they have been unable to
agree upon such appointment within forty (40) days after the Dispute
Notice. The fees and costs of the Neutral and of any such assistance shall
be shared equally among the parties.
C. In consultation with the Neutral, the parties will negotiate in good
faith to select or devise a nonbinding alternative dispute resolution
procedure ("ADR") by which they will attempt to resolve the Dispute, and
a time and place for the ADR to be held, with the Neutral (at the written
request of any party to each other party) making the decision as to the
procedure and/or place and time if the parties have been unable to agree
on any of such matters in writing within ten (10) days after selection of the
Neutral.
d. The parties agree to participate in good faith in the ADR to its
conclusion; provided, however, that no party shall be obligated to continue
to participate in the ADR if the parties have not resolved the Dispute in
writing within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Dispute Notice and
any party shall have terminated the ADR by delivery written notice of
termination to each other party following expiration of said 120-day
period. Following any such termination notice after selection of the
Neutral, and if any party so requests in writing to the Neutral (with a copy
to each other party), then the Neutral shall make a recommended
37
V-5
resolution of the Dispute in writing to each party, which recommendation
shall not be binding upon the parties; provided, however, that the parties
shall give good faith consideration to the settlement of the Dispute on the
basis of such recommendation.
e. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this
Section shall preclude any party from seeking interim or provisional relief,
in the form of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or
other interim equitable relief concerning the Dispute, either prior to or
during the ADR process if necessary to protect the interests of such party.
Further, this Section shall be specifically enforceable.
f. At the reasonable request of either party, the Neutral shall adopt
rules and procedures designed to expedite the dispute resolution process.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their authorized representatives on the day and year first above written.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
Office of Town Manager
INTER OFFICE MEMO
TO: The Honorable Mayor Nichols and
DT: June 12, 2003
Council
FR: Tim Pickering, Town Manager _;
RE: FY 2003-2004 Maricopa County Law
Enforcement Agreement
The staff recommends approval of the attached agreement with Maricopa County Sheriff's
Office to provide all law enforcement services for the Town of Fountain Hills. I have also
reviewed Queen Creek, Cave Creek and Carefree agreements for comparison purposes. Fountain
Hills is by far the Sheriff's largest contract.
SERVICES PROVIDED
This agreement provides for all law enforcement services including traffic enforcement, crime
prevention, patrol activities, youth educational services, court services, neighborhood block
watch coordination, responding to barking dog complaints, handling walk-up window
operations, detective services, transporting prisoners, and call receiving and dispatching. These
services are outlined in the County's proposal, which is attached and made part of the agreement.
It is anticipated that with this agreement, traffic enforcement and court case filings will increase
due to additional manpower.
Staffing levels will increase to four deputies per shift, which will increase our coverage to 1.33
officers per 1000 residents. The organizational chart depicting law enforcement services can be
found on page nine on the proposal. In addition, Maricopa County will provide all necessary
police training as required by the State.
According to monthly reports for the six-month period from November 2002 to April 2003
provided by the Sheriff's office, the four most frequent Fountain Hills calls for service are alarms
calls, welfare checks, suspicious person, and civil matters. Other types of typical calls include
handling traffic accidents, motorist assists, and burglaries.
COST
The cost of the FY 2003-2004 agreement is $1,598,388 that covers all law enforcement activity
except animal control and property maintenance code enforcement as compared to the current
fiscal year law enforcement budget equaling $2.6M. With the addition of fire service and the
defeat of Proposition 400, the reduction in service cost for this activity is much needed.
REVISIONS AND CANCELLATION
The Town Attorney and myself to insure proper insurance coverage and to indemnify the Town
have extensively revised the existing contract. Additionally the agreement automatically renews
if the renewal amount is less than 3%. Either party with 90-day notice may terminate the
agreement without cause.
SUMMARY
I recommend a motion to approve the Maricopa County Law Enforcement agreement. The
Town Attorney has reviewed the agreement. Should you have any questions please do not
hesitate to contact me.

Executive Summary
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is currently providing quality customized law
enforcement services to the citizens of Fountain Hills. This document will acquaint the
Fountain Hills Town Council with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office by providing
an overview of the Sheriffs Office outlining the many benefits of contracting with the
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
In the decision to select a law enforcement agency with which to contract, one would
want to consider many factors. An Overview of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office
detailing the major functions and services that is provided. Providing those services
are more than 700 sworn officers and another nearly 2,400 non -sworn staff who,
combined, possess a level of education, training and professionalism equal to any law
enforcement agency in the nation. There are many subject matter experts who work in
all major areas of the Office whether investigating a complicated homicide or lending
technical support to figure out a programming question with one of our new
technological advancements.
The Benefits of Contracting with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office are also
described in this packet. Those benefits have great value, both in tangible and
intangible. They range from assuming responsibility for the actions of Office
employees and holding the Town of Fountain Hills harmless in litigation arising out of
actions by Office employees, cost savings, to an in-depth knowledge of Fountain Hills.
Members of the Town Council and the citizens of Fountain Hills have voiced a desire
to promote Community Oriented Policing, which is the very philosophy the Office
has been based since its inception over 100 years ago.
Another benefit is state-of-the-art technology. Included in this technology is the
Automated Finger Print Identification System (AFIS), computer aided dispatch (CAD)
system, the Federally mandated 800 MHz radio system, laptop report writing system,
wide area network system and more. A contract with the Maricopa County Sheriff's
Office results in Fountain Hills having access to these advanced systems at no
additional cost.
The Council will want to look at the many ancillary services available through the
Sheriff's Office. All combinations of these services are utilized by Fountain Hills to
enhance law enforcement in the community. Bicycle patrol, helicopter patrol, narcotic
investigations, and K-9 support, are examples of the type and range of ancillary
services currently serving Fountain Hills.
The Town Council has flexibility to adjust this number upward or downward
depending upon their law enforcement strategy. A variety of enhancement options may
be added to customize services. This flexibility puts Fountain Hills at the helm in
terms of fashioning the contracted services in a manner that best suits your needs.
A Cost Methodology is presented, which is designed to address contracting issues and
provides an easy to follow methodology that is built around a philosophy of requiring
the Town to pay only for those services they utilize. Instead of using a methodology
3
where a percentage is charged based on population or something else, the
methodology costs services out on a per item basis or percentage rate, as appropriate.
In closing, this proposal should provide the Fountain Hills Town Council with the
information to conclude that the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has given
considerable thought and preparation to this plan and is well prepared to continue
providing contract services on July 1, 2003 and beyond. The Fountain Hills Town
Council can be assured that the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is willing and ready
to provide quality, customer -oriented service to Fountain Hills.

Fountain Hills Law Enforcement &
Community Policing Services
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is prepared to provide the Town of Fountain Hills
with all of their law enforcement needs effective fiscal year 2003/2004.
This would be accomplished by an agreement based upon 3.5 full-time beats. This
manpower would ensure that the Town to benefits from enhanced services, while
maintaining a one agency law enforcement system capable of providing any law
enforcement need.
Presently the Sheriff's Office provides Law Enforcement coverage for the geographic
area that surrounds the Town of Fountain Hills this area of coverage is designated by the
Sheriffs' Office as District 4 South. All unincorporated area from the Beeline Highway
north to Needle Rock, from the Fort McDowell Indian Community Reservation to Pima
Road falls within this district. The Town of Fountain Hills is situated in the south east
corner of this geographic area. Deputies and services that are administered to all of
District 4 South are coordinated and administered through the Fountain Hills substation.
The unincorporated county areas west of this description up to and including the
community of Anthem comprise the District 4 North area. There is a Sheriff's Office
Substation located in the Town of Cave Creek for this part of the district.
Both of these two geographic areas are combined to form the District 4 patrol sector.
It is the structure of the Sheriff's Office to accommodate the needs of each District by
assigning the necessary administrative personnel along with any support staff, supplies,
equipment, etc... that may be necessary to facilitate the needs of the citizens in that area
and to deliver those services in the most efficient way possible. In Fountain Hills, an
Administrative Sergeant and Administrative Deputy are assigned, and work out of the
Fountain Hills substation to assist the District Commander in implementing the District
and Office goals and procedures.
It is through this structure that contract communities benefit from economy of scale. The
resources that are made available to the unincorporated areas are also available for use
within the contract cities. This also represents the most effective way to maintain "unity
of command and control" when it comes to administering the law enforcement needs to a
large diverse geographic area. It enables the cost effective use of resources and personnel.
Correlations can be shown that the use of such resources benefits the citizens of the Town
and the County (district) as a whole.

The contract being considered encompasses 3.5 beats. That would provide the town with
the following:
14 Patrol Deputies
3 Detectives
4 Community Policing Deputies
2.5 Sergeants
1 Commander
1 Administrative Assistant
35 Posse Members
Multiple Resources
A break down of this law enforcement plan shows a cost of $1,598,388. This amount will
provide a rounded total of 25.5 full-time employees (FTE's). The ratio of police
personnel based on a town population of 24,000 residents, equals 1.06 officers per 1000
residents.
Under the organizational structure of the Sheriffs Office, District 4 South, the following
resources are a more accurate account of all personnel that would be utilized to provide
for the needs of the Town.
16 Patrol Deputies
3 Detectives
5 Community Policing Deputies
6 Sergeants
1 Commander
1 Administrative Assistant
35 Posse Members
Multiple Resources
The ratio of police personnel based on a population of 24,000 residents, equals 1.33
officers per 1000 residents. (A flow chart depicting this is displayed later in this proposal)
A breakdown of the services provided under this ratio is as follows:
Four Patrol squads each with four patrol deputies assigned to a squad. Every
squad would have an assigned sergeant. Sergeants would be responsible for the
supervision of the deputies assigned to the Town in addition to supervising the
deputies assigned to the towns of Carefree/ Cave Creek, and the unincorporated
areas within the district.
A Detective Division with three detectives assigned exclusively to Fountain Hills.
The Detective Division would be assigned a sergeant who is also responsible for

What local Cities and Towns pay for their Law Enforcement services
In closing, when you contract your law enforcement services through the Maricopa
County Sheriff's Office you receive a service that will cater to you from start to finish.
All this from an agency that has the resources to get the job done and can do so while
taking the responsibility of any potential liabilities that may arise.
The advantages for this type of law enforcement program are numerous. First, having
only one agency allows the dissemination of communication to flow freely. Deputies also
have the common goal of supplying quality law enforcement, without the risk of
interfering with another agencies operation. Another advantage is that this type of plan
represents a flexible alternative, designed to meet the needs of a changing community.
Should a supervisor see a change in a crime trend they can re-evaluate their staffing or
use the abundance of Sheriff's Office recourses to help alleviate this negative trend.
Lastly, the Sheriff's Office has always been accommodating to the needs of Fountain
Hills. Having supplied law enforcement from the beginning, our Office will not allow the
town to fall victim to substandard performance. Our partnership represents a long history
of working together and sharing the benefits of contract law enforcement. The Sheriff's
Office hopes that this partnership can continue for many years to come.
10
Benefits of Contracting
With the
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office
The quality of law enforcement services delivered by the Maricopa County Sheriff's
Office reflects professionalism, exemplary ethics, and the highest quality of
commitment and dedication to duty. Beyond "blue ribbon" service are many reasons
that make contracting with the Sheriffs Office an excellent choice. Consider the
following benefits..
Community Oriented Policing - Community Oriented Policing (COP) has always
been the way of doing business at the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Office
managers and personnel adhere to the philosophy of Problem Solving; effective
police -community partnerships are forged. The community actively participates in
the identification of community problems, the resolution of those problems, and the
evaluation of the outcomes. Through this kind of partnership, the Office and the
Town of Fountain Hills will build upon a common goal —to control crime, maintain
order and improve the quality of life in the community. The Maricopa County
Sheriff's Office has provided law enforcement to the Fountain Hills area since
Arizona became a territory in 1863 and continues to do so.
Knowledge of Fountain Hills - Since the establishment of Fountain Hills as a
community, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has been providing law
enforcement services to Fountain Hills. A close relationship has been established
with the residents of this community. In fact, many of them volunteer their time in
the Sheriffs Fountain Hills Posse, and the Fountain Hills Mounted Posse located in
The Town of Fountain Hills. In addition, a cadre of officers presently working in the
Fountain Hills area has gained invaluable knowledge of the community and its
issues. Several of its members have been long time residents of Fountain Hills.
Economy of Scale - The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is a large organization
with more than 2,500 employees. The crucial functions of recruitment, selection and
hiring are both time intensive and costly for such a sizable organization.
Additionally, a sophisticated infrastructure including communications ability, 9-1-1
operators, record keeping, evidence storage, and fleet management is already in
place. The Town would pay only for the services provided, rather than having to
purchase, operate and maintain each of these systems.
Liability Issues - The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office will assume responsibility
for the actions of Office employees and hold the Town of Fountain Hills harmless in
litigation arising out of actions by county employees.
11
M
Training - The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office seeks the very best personnel and
maximizes the human resources of all members of the Office, sworn, civilian, and
volunteer. In 1999 the Sheriff's Office began its own Deputy Sheriff Training
Academy. Its goal is to maintain the highest standards possible while pinpointing the
instruction to fit the needs of the citizens served by this office. Mandated training for
all sworn staff --basic, advanced, and management, is provided at the Sheriffs
Training Center. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is committed to the precept
that training is essential to the development and maintenance of excellence in the
organization.
Ancillary Services - The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is the most diverse law
enforcement agency in Arizona. In addition to Patrol Services stationed in the north,
east, south and west areas of the County, the Office offers a broad spectrum of
ancillary services. Uniform operating procedures, common radio frequencies and a
unified command structure enable the Office to function as a highly efficient law
enforcement service provider when handling local emergencies, countywide disasters
and special events. Ancillary services are included in contract services provided by
the Office.
12
Services
The Town does not need to devote staff to hire and process prospective Deputy Sheriff
applicants. The Sheriff's Office conducts recruitments for hiring. We complete all the
necessary pre -hire screening, to include, testing, polygraph examination, psychological
examination, physical agility testing, medical examination, background investigation,
Academy training, and Field Training.
When Fountain Hills contracts with the Sheriff's Office the county assumes the liability
for the actions of its deputies. Thus, the town is in the position of saving money from
potential lawsuits. The county also takes care of vehicle maintenance which means that
there is a large fleet of vehicles to draw from, in the event a vehicle goes out of service.

Why Fountain Hills should contract with The Maricopa
County Sheriff's Office
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is a unique law enforcement agency that has many
resources to offer, in the way of contract law enforcement. When a town contracts its law
enforcement services through M.C.S.O., they receive more than just the deputies that
patrol their streets. They receive the resources that are available to these deputies.
Support Services
M.C.S.O. has many specialty units that can be deployed at a moment's notice as First
Responders. They have the ability to mobilize up to fifty deputies at any given time.
These deputies have the necessary training and experience to quell riots and unlawful
protests. Our SWAT team has the ability for strategic insertions and management of
hostage and barricade situations. Our K-9 unit is diversified enough to detect drugs and
explosives, as well as track fugitives and missing persons. Our Lake Patrol Division has
the skills necessary to respond to mass disasters and treat casualties, as most of these
deputies are also certified Emergency Medical Technicians or Paramedics. Lake Patrol
deputies take home their assigned vehicles and are available for immediate response.
The Sheriff's Office maintains other specialized skills such as hostage negotiators, bomb
technicians, search and rescue personnel, undercover narcotics investigators, homicide
detectives, arson investigators, other specialized detectives, and traffic fatality
reconstruction specialists. Other resources include highly skilled evidence technicians,
S.T.A.R deputies (replaces D.A.R.E. program), and an established property / evidence
room, commercial vehicle inspectors, mounted wilderness deputies, and bicycle patrols.
The Sheriff's Office adheres to the philosophy of community oriented policing, that is:
working with the communities we serve as partners in solving specific problems. As a
result, the Sheriff's Office has the largest volunteer law enforcement contingent in the
nation. This contingent is made up of 2,400 Posseman and 120 Reservists. To further
serve the community, the Sheriff's Office has the ability to transfer deputies in and out of
an assignment here in town in an attempt to find deputies who are the most compatible
and best suited to provide the services offered under contract law enforcement.
The Sheriff's Office also operates a 24-hour communications center, which is responsible
for dispatching calls for police service. This state of the art center is equipped with the
latest technological advances including the Federally mandated 800 MHz radio system.
The communications center also maintains the enhanced emergency 911 system and
employs professional dedicated 911 operators and dispatchers who are also trained in
Emergency Medical Treatment (E.M.T.).
When a community contracts with The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office we will
assume responsibility for the actions of Office employees and hold the Town of
Fountain Hills harmless in litigation arising out of actions by county employees. The
county also takes care of vehicle maintenance, which means that there is a large fleet
of vehicles to draw from, in the event a vehicle goes out of service.

Purpose of Item and Background Information: Councilwoman Nicola has sponsored this agenda item. She
would like Council to consider placing whatever proceeds are obtained through the sale of FHMD vehicles (and
other equipment that may be authorized for sale) into a capital reserve account dedicated to providing future
capital needs. That can mean either a start-up fund, should contracting law enforcement be problematic in the
future, or providing a police station for our contracted officers should we move to the town center modules. The
point is to use it for capital police expenditures, rather than going into the general fund, as the monies were not
targeted as a revenue source.

INTER OFFICE MEMO
TO: The Honorable Mayor Nichols and
Council
DT: June 12, 2003
FR: Tim Pickering, Town Manager /�
RE: FY 2003-2004 Budget follow-up
Per the Council's request, please find additional information regarding the proposed FY 2003-
2004 budget.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT CHANGES
The Town Attorney and I participated in a telephone conference call with Art Williams of the
Justice Department on Thursday, June 12. Mr. Williams stated that if the Town sent letters of
withdrawal of our grants due to financial hardship, that the Town would not owe the federal
government any money and our requirements to retain a certain level of officers would be
removed. This relieves any financial liability caused by the grants. He stated we could inform
the Council of this news. In keeping with Resolution 2003-16, the letters will be sent and we
shall await documentation.
With this news, I feel comfortable recommending adoption of the budget as it currently stands.
Once documentation of our closed grant account is received, the budget can be revised to reflect
the change to an all Sheriff department. Our existing Marshal employees should remain
employed until that documentation is received. Due to the Sheriff staffing increase, the probable
addition of contracting for animal control and the possible addition of an Emergency
Management Coordinator, the dollar amount of the law enforcement budget should remain
relatively fixed at the current proposed budget level of $1.7M.
Law enforcement changes will also affect how code enforcement is handled. My intent is to hire
Town employees as Code Compliance Inspectors as they are less costly than contracting for this
service. I completed an analysis of contracting out these duties, but hiring our own employees is
less expensive.
With the current workload in Building Safety division, which has recently lost two Plan
Reviewer positions, it may become necessary to hire a consultant to oversee the initial
supervision and creation of the civilian employee code enforcement program. The consultant
would assist the Town in selecting and training Town employees, review equipment, uniform
and vehicle needs, revise existing forms and review our municipal code for changes.
BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
As directed by the Council, the FY03-04 proposed budget has been revised to reflect the
allocation change of the Downtown Development Coordinator. The position is now proposed to
be funded 25% from the General Fund and 75% from the Downtown Development Excise Tax
fund. The General Fund will absorb the additional cost of $14,155 within the undesignated
position, which has remained in the Administration budget since the former Town Manager went
on disability leave. The Excise Tax Fund (Downtown Development) expenditures will be
reduced by $14,155. The positions' title will be revised to Economic/Downtown Development
Director. Our overall budget remains at $18.6M for all expenditures.
OUTSIDE PROGRAM FUNDING
As requested, the staff researched the use of park development fees. After reviewing the
development fee ordinance, staff and the Town Attorney believe the $209,000 budgeted in the
general fund for the Fountain Park ramadas, can legally be paid for with development fee dollars.
The intent of the development fee is to implement the goals, objectives and polices of the general
plan to provide new park facilities to new residents. The ramadas are specifically mentioned
within the general plan. Additionally, the development fee ordinance states that park and
recreation development fees may be used for recreation facilities and improvements. Please
remember that development fees can only be used for public improvements, facilities, or services
necessitated by new development. This is a topic of our June 18 Park Commission meeting.
Although the staff continues to discourage this method as a way to fund outside programs, this is
a Council decision. If ramadas are budgeted from park development fees, approximately
$400,000 will remain in the fund to purchase future park land.
Most outstanding budget issues are resolved except, if the Council desires to fund the Boys and
Girls Club at $143,000, add an additional $40,000 Senior services, add an additional $30,000 to
the Community Theater, and add an additional $6,500 for tourism to receive matching grants.
This totals $219,500. Staff believes downtown excise tax cannot be used toward tourism
funding since those funds would assist the entire Town, not just the downtown area.
Staff and Rural Metro reduced the fire services agreement by approximately $100,000, but I need
to remind the Council that budgeting is an art, not a science. As you have read from this week's
actions at the State Legislature, the Town will be lose approximately $28,000 that we had
budgeted in court revenues. Other unanticipated actions such as lawsuits settlements, severance
packages, the need to add consulting fees when employees depart, requests for sales tax refunds,
etc. can have a negative impact on the Town's bottom line. So in summary, be cautious if you
do decide to provide funding to outside entities.
One final note regarding outside entity funding. I received a call this week from Ft. McDowell
and have scheduled a meeting with their consultant and administrator to discuss the process for
Proposition 202 funding. I do appreciate Senior Services' 6.9.03 suggestion that their funding
would only occur if Prop 202 funds were not pledged by a certain date.

RESOLUTION NO.2003-27
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE TOWN
OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ADOPTING THE TENTATIVE BUDGET AS THE 2003-
2004 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET FOR THE TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS.
WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of Title 42, Chapter 17, Articles 1-5, Arizona Revised
Statutes (A.R.S.), the Town Council did, on June 19, 2003, make an estimate of the different amounts required
to meet the public expenditures/expenses for the ensuing year, also an estimate of revenues from sources other
than direct taxation, and the amount to be raised by taxation upon real and personal property of the Town of
Fountain Hills, Arizona, and
WHEREAS, in accordance with said chapter of said title, and following due public notice, the
Council met on June 19, 2003, at which meeting any taxpayer was privileged to appear and be heard in favor
of or against any of the proposed expenditures/expenses or tax levies, and
WHEREAS, it appears that publication has been duly made as required by law, of said estimates
together with a notice that the Town Council would meet on June 19, 2003, at the office of the Council for the
purpose of hearing taxpayers and making tax levies as set forth in said estimates, and
WHEREAS, it appears that the sums to be raised by taxation, as specified therein, do not in the
aggregate exceed that amount as computed in A.R.S. §42-1705 1 (A), therefore be it

Re: Town Manager's "Executive Summary' ted 5-27-03
concerning the Prop 202 funds
We are interested in pursuing the idea of soliciting Proposition 202 funds from the Fort
McDowell Indian Community. We maintain, however, that the Town must take the lead
since we have no leverage or clout with Fort McDowell. We have solicited their support
but to no avail. Example:
a) Sept. 3, 2002 our letter to FTMD requesting $10,000. No reply
b) Dec. 19, 2002 follow-up letter hoping to find them in the Holiday Spirit
and advising them that Salt River Community gave us
$1500. (from whom we had requested $5,000.) No reply
c) Feb. 5, 2003 a P letter No reply
We would like to again present our case to Fort McDowell, but we need Town support to
assure a fair hearing. In the meantime, our operating expenses continue.
We are confident the Council will find a way to fund our $40,000 request in the current
budget considerations. We implore you not to delay approving Town support for Senior
Services' 2004 budget in the "hope" that the Fort McDowell community will give us
money. Please approve the $40,000 payable in December 2003 if Prop 202 funds have
not been received by then.
Thanks for supporting us.

INTRODUCING DESIGNWORKSHOP AND SPECTRUM BRAND PLANNING
A collaborative team dedicated to create the Avenue of the Fountains concept
Design Workshop is an award -winning, international firm practicing landscape architecture, land
planning, urban design and tourism planning. We combine principles of smart growth,
sustainable design and environmentally sound planning to reconcile economic needs with the
preservation of scenic, cultural and community values. At the present moment, the firm
comprises 140 designers, planners and support staff in 12 North and South American offices in
Aspen, Denver, Santa Fe, Phoenix, Vail, Park City, Lake Tahoe, Jackson Hole, Asheville, N.C.,
Sao Paulo, Santiago and Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Our pioneering efforts have been recognized with
more than 70 awards from such organizations as the American Society of Landscape Architects,
the American Planning Association and the Urban Land Institute.
Spectrum Brand Planning is a Fountain Hills -based firm that works with a broad range of clients,
industries, and brands. Specializing in assembling talented people into collaborative teams,
Spectrum is a pioneer in a unique approach to Place Branding. Recognizing that quality of life,
manmade and natural environment, community culture, and economic and political facets are
cornerstones of every community, we develop strategic plans to weave a community's unique
values for each cornerstone into both physical and marketing communications that represent the
community. The strength of this technique is that it keeps in sight the community values when
making critical decisions for the town's future. These same principles lead to the integration of
the community values into a foundation for economic development and tourism marketing
strategies and communications.
PROJECT LEADERS
MARK W. SODEN, ASLA, AICP
Principal, Design Workshop
Mark Soden is a licensed landscape architect in the State of Arizona and a member of the
American Institute of Certified Planners with over twenty years of experience in the fields of
urban and streetscape design.

historic character of downtown in the design for each of the park's components.
Mark was the lead designer for the first Community Park built in the master -planned community
of McDowell Mountain Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona. The three -acre park included picnic
ramadas, a water feature, play area, sport courts and an open lawn/amphitheater. The project
won a Valley Forward Award for Environmental Excellence for the manner in which the native
desert landscape character was integrated into the park design.

KAREN E. MARVEL
Principal, Spectrum Brand Planning
After years of working in executive positions with recognizable retail and service brands, Karen
applied her strategic planning capabilities to a number of organizations that do not traditionally
think of themselves as brands. Her business, Spectrum, sprang directly from her experience and
understanding that branding is not just the face of an entity's philosophy — it should permeate
and shape all aspects of the organization and its strategic decisions to keep it aligned with
their vision and promise.
Karen places the client's brand always at the center of a client's project. This ensures the
identity and values of the brand are always incorporated into the work. Collaboration is also an
important facet of Spectrum. Because input for brand planning is needed from a wide range of
disciplines, Karen works with collaborative teams that are created for the specialized needs of
clients' projects. The team members are experienced professionals from organization
management, operations, coaching, marketing communications, interior design, and urban and
landscape design and planning.
Karen's background includes developing and executing strategies and tactics for a wide number
of industries and brands. Probably one of the few strategic planners who can claim to be a
Certified Lube Tech, Karen's past positions include Director of Marketing for Jiffy Lube
International and Midas International; Director of Retail Operations and Products for a Fortune
500 company in Memphis (ACI America, now VVP), VP Brand Planning & Research for Moses
Anshell, VP QLM Marketing (a national Promotions agency based in Princeton, NJ), and Account
Supervisor for a major regional advertising agency based in Seattle (Evans, now Publicis).
Karen's past client experience has included Arizona Department of Commerce, Scottsdale
Convention & Visitors Bureau, Arizona Office of Tourism, PETsMART, Dial, Argus Brand
Merchandise Company. Current clients of Spectrum are Town of Prescott Valley, Prescott Valley
Economic Development Foundation, Greater Prescott Region, Honeywell Intellectual Properties
Division, Terri's Consign & Design. Karen is certified as a Woman Owned Business Enterprise
and an active member of Account Planning Group US. Additionally she has contributed time to
Salvation Army, Valley of the Sun YMCA, Mercy Healthcare and Barrows Foundation, and Upward
Foundation.

PROPOSAL FOR THE AVENUE OF THE FOUNTAINS CONCEPT PLAN
The key assets DesignWorkshop and Spectrum Brand Planning bring to this proposal are found
in the basic beliefs of our organizations:
• Creative Collaboration: Before "collaboration" became an important buzzword for the New
Economy, both Project Leaders understood and used the strengths of collaborative teams to
bring added value to projects. Which leads to the next point.
■ Synergy of Core Philosophies: DesignWorkshop believes in marrying environmental and
community idealism and developmental realities. Spectrum Brand Planning integrates
another important dimension, one of Brand Planning. The Avenue of the Fountain plan is not
just park benches and landscaping. It represents a strategic vision for the future of the
town's development as a "place." This concept will be the first "face" of the town's brand,
from which spring opportunities to market for the attraction of investment and development.
In essence, this concept piece is a vital connection to the future development of the town's
distinctiveness and value.
Our proposal consists of two options. Option A mirrors the scope of work as outlined in the RFP.
Option B suggests moving up input on the style/designs earlier in the process through the use of
Image Workshops.

OPTION B WITH IMAGE WORKSHOP APPROACH
This option allows for earlier creative input for themes and styles. This technique is beneficial as it is
less subjective and more strategic. By using Image Workshops at the outset of the project, we are able to
interpret the community values into visual interpretations. Because the process introduces design
"feelings" at the beginning stages of the process, the style/design focus can be targeted and tailored to
the community's idea of their distinctivenes. Later options can then be based on details— cost/benefits
within the design genre —rather than the emotionalism related to genre itself. In addition, the Image
Workshops allow for more input into planning priorities for phasing in the improvements.

OPTION RECOMMENDATION: IMAGE WORKSHOPS
OPTION B
In order to stay within certain budget parameters and in consideration of the aggressive
schedule, Design Workshop and Spectrum Brand Planning believe the Image Workshops bring
more quality and value to the project. Planned expressly to elicit the design/style input from a
strategic platform, the design team is able to put more refined detail ideas into the concept and
priorities for phasing.
Image Workshops Detailed Description: As indicated in this option, the initial meetings are
positioned as Image Workshops. Using our unique graphic "display thinking" technique, the
workshops' agenda would have three components:
• Review the key Fountain Hills Vision & Values that have been identified in the Hyett Palma
Plan, the General Plan 2002, and possibly other studies TBD. These become the
participants' guiding principles for the next agenda section —reviewing the graphic displays.
■ Present the graphic displays of different style possibilities that could fit with Vision &
Values. The visuals would be prepared from a number of Design Workshop's many resources,
and possibly several of the Town's previous design ideas. The visuals allow the groups to
form ideas and feelings so that they can provide input with rationale on the designs.
■ Prioritize a list of items with workshop participants that would help with the phasing & also
pinpoint where they think cost emphasis should be. For example, they may believe that
inlaid tile designs throughout the boulevard and integrated into other planning areas fits
their vision of the area and is most important in early phases.
The Image Workshops' main advantage is that they use a foundation of strategy to elicit style
and design, steering group feelings away from the subjectivity that comes into finished concepts
and impedes progress. This approach is more efficient and cost effective. If cost were not the
most important issue, and it is vitally important to the project to deliver three preliminary
concepts versus than one, we believe Image Workshops should be a component of the project to
gain valuable insight for the designers that matches the vision and values of the town.

SPECTRUM BRAND PLANNING EXAMPLE
Client: Prescott Valley Economic Development Foundation, Town of
Prescott Valley, & Private Sector Partners
Collaborative Team: Project Leader, Karen Marvel, Spectrum Brand Planning. Design
Partner, Moses Anshell
Background
Twenty years ago, Prescott Valley was characterized as a hodgepodge of small businesses and
mobile homes sprawled along Highway 69 on the way to Prescott. During the town's evolution to
present day, some key infrastructure changes —sewers and paved streets —triggered a turning
point in their history. The area and its residents began to feel like a "real" community. Led by
some of their active and visionary residents and their intense desire to plan for the future, the
community crafted a long-range plan that helped them survive and prosper during the migration
and rapid growth that many towns experienced in the Sunbelt. Today they are at another
crossroads, one of economic development, which requires them to attract investment and jobs to
help maintain and build the future sustainability of the town and their vision.
Assignment
Spectrum Brand Planning was hired to identify and develop a compelling brand system for
Prescott Valley's economic development marketing efforts. The scope of the project involved
extensive research to uncover the basic values the town desired to retain for their future. Once
the findings were developed and approved, the brand imagery and initial marketing approached
would be devised
Research
The research involved: (a) review of all past Prescott Valley plans and research; (b) review of
secondary research, trends, and articles relating to non -metro locations; (c) extensive one-on-
one interviews with town leadership and influential stakeholders; (d) e-mail surveys to 300
primary stakeholders in various civic organizations and clubs; (e) several focus groups to clarify
contradictory points that were uncovered in the stakeholder research; (f) e-mail surveys
targeted to 1500 site selection/relocation decision makers in suitable industries and targeted
states.
Brand Identity System
The research was designed to provide three primary answers for Prescott Valley —"Who we are",

Brand Icon and Tagline
From its original roots, the area has grown with people who see a vision with opportunity.
Whether it was cattle ranching, development, home ownership, or a new beginning for
retirement, business, or family, Prescott Valley represents the promise of opportunity. As
characterized by one resident, "we really don't have a history, we have a future."
The imagery represents the overarching concept of opportunity and links the cornerstones with
the brand idea "where opportunity lives" and the graphic of a bud evolving into a leafy tree.
Prescott Valley
Where Opportunity Lives
Results and Next Steps
Although just completed, the town has been thrilled with the results of the branding. To bring
their beliefs to life, there is desire to incorporate the imagery into their landscape, streetscape,
and public areas, such as gateways to the town, lampposts, and other architectural
opportunities. Additionally, businesses have shown strong interest in co -branding with the town
image to help communicate and market their image outside of the area. Spectrum is now in
process of developing a brand guidelines booklet and an integrated marketing plan for the town
and stakeholders economic development efforts.

establishes a hierarchy that addresses city and private
development needs while providing the pedestrian an
enjoyable and safe environment.
On a functional level, Little Raven Street provides
pedestrian and vehicular access through the Commons

dense spacing of trees ties the street to the park and
creates a green seam between the park and

Selection Committee
Town of Fountain Hills
RE: Avenue of the Fountains
Greetings:
It is with great interest and anticipation that
submits our firm's credentials for your consideration on the Avenue
of the Fountains project. We are highly qualified for this project
because of similar experiences in downtown revitalization and
economic redevelopments, most notably, the Town of Gilbert
Downtown Heritage District study just completed.
We are also just completing a first phase of improvements for
Scottsdale's Old Town that has very similar goals of economic
revitilization, tourism, and urban enhancements. We have worked
closely with private merchants, city maintenance personnel, city
planning staff, and private fine arts representatives in Scottsdale to
craft win -win scenarios to benefit the downtown area.
We have also been selected by the City of Scottsdale to renovate
their famed Civic Center Mall that has identical objectives to your
Avenue of the Fountains project. This $3 million dollar
enhancement project deals with the same elements of pedestrian
traffic, vehicular circulation and parking, ADA access, linkages and
connections to adjacent businesses and civic attractions, and visitor
delight and tourism.
NDeii & Associates has 24+ years of experience designing malls,
plazas, streetscapes and other projects similar in nature for
municipal governments, Arizona State University, and corporate
clients. We are unique in that we offer integrated Architectural,
Landscape Architectural, and Planning services under one roof.
We have most recently completed streetscape improvements for the
old town district of Scottsdale. Our team is committed to two goals
for this assignment: 1] to provide the utmost professional service to
the Town of Fountain Hills, and 2] insuring that treatments support
the image and quality of life that the Town of Fountain Hills
promotes.
We have similar experiences in streetscapes, malls, and urban
plazas designed for the City of Mesa Cultural Walk, South Mountain
Community College, The Phoenix Zoo and numerous public projects
that directly relate to this assignment. Our experienced team of
Architects and Landscape Architects has undertaken numerous
similar designs that require skill and insight in municipal
improvements, hardscape, streetscape enhancement, ADA
compliance, and water conserving landscape improvements. We
are a coordinated team with the right blend of experience perfect for
this assignment.

Description of Services
The Abell & Associates team intends to take an interactive
approach to this downtown development and plaza project.
This is a communication process of ideas and possibilities,
and is the result of our experience with numerous successful
plaza and downtown redevelopemnt planning efforts. The
process recognizes the interactive steps to be taken in
collaboration with the merchants, community, and city officials
to achieve success in connecting the final design solution to a
diverse audience.
Our design and planning approach is rooted in a thorough
understanding of the existing place; the nature and character
of the buildings, the open spaces, the circulation of
pedestrians and vehicles through and around the Avenue of
the Fountains, and the distribution of Fountain Hills civic
activities. What we are proposing is a process encouraging
an exploration of the sprit, discovery and community of
Fountain Hills and charting guidelines that are logical,
efficient, and harmonious with civic growth, change, and
intensification. The desired result of this investigation is the
creation of a area planning framework for "The New Fountain
Hills" that responds to the needs of residents, tourists, fair
event participants, merchants, and civic maintenance and
security personnel to enrich everyday civic life.
Coordinating Efforts with Municipal Personnel
Our experienced team will be able to coordinate with the
respective city facilities personnel on a variety of levels and a
range of issues including concerns of engineering, utilities,
traffic planning for vehicular and pedestrian movement,
refuse, future commercial building massing, parking,
extensive experience in nighttime lighting design, mall
amenities development, plaza and hardscape design, and
and region landscape design.
We are exceptionally skilled in planning services for
demanding site issues including ADA public access, fire
exiting, 911 emergency vehicle access, plaza enhancement
and amelioration issues, site utilities, and graphics + signage.
We have previously worked with many different municipal
Risk Management Offices and Crime Prevention through
Environmental Design [CPTED] officials on similar public
assignments and understand the concerns and potential
liabilities our design activities present to the public trust. Our
firm's collective longstanding working relationship with
numerous city governments, prominent University campuses
and numerous community college campus malls and plazas
will be of particular benefit to this assignment.
Municipal Realm
Few design and planning teams possess the tremendous
experience in designing municipal plazas, malls and open
spaces for large assembly occupancies and general civic life.
Beyond our teams' prominence in college
masterplanning, we are well known for campus
planning and masterplan studies for The Phoenix
Zoo and for locally prominent
Tempe Beach Park .
James Abell, FAIA, LA worked closely with
downtown merchants, city officials, chamber of
commerce representatives, and interested citizens to
craft a viable downtown development plan for Gilbert.
Our collective experience in designing malls and plazas
for the City of Mesa, the Town of Gilbert, the City of
Scottsdale, our masterplan for Tempe Beach Park, and our
masterplanning for the Phoenix Zoo are all examples of
experience and design excellence of streetscapes, malls and
plazas that accommodate large groups of people. Our plaza
design for the south entrance of Sun Devil Stadium has been
time tested for over 12 years and continues to welcome and
shelter hordes of sports fans who place extraordinary
demands on this facility.
The TEAM ... An Integrated Approach
Our process insists and depends on the direct and informed
involvement with the stakeholder team. The key to our
approach is the early collaboration of an integrated Civic Core
Team. The Core Team consists of the designated Town of
Fountain Hills representatives, merchant groups, interested
citizens, Chamber of Commerce leaders, arts fair leaders, city
planners and engineers.

Our design experience has been largely with public
clients such as this plaza and landscape design for
ASU's Sun Devil Stadium. This plaza played host to
Superbowl 30 and hoards of football fans & tourists.
Just nine years old, the ASU Administration
Courtyard is one of the most beloved outdoor
spaces on the main campus. Chinese Pistachio
trees offer exquisite fall color.
Relevant Firm Experience
Abell & Associates is a diverse firm offering our clientele services
encompassing architecture, landscape architecture, and planning.
Many of our most prominent projects are for civic clients that
include public plazas, downtown streetscape enhancements, and
distinctive landscape architecture for civic plaza sites identical to
that of the Avenue of the Fountains. Recognized for award winning
design by the American Institute of Architects, the Valley Forward
Association, and the Arizona Masonry Guild, Abell & Associates
strive for design solutions that respond to the public realm demands
for durability, ease of maintenance, need for safety and security,
affordability, and design appropriateness. The following is a listing
of past projects that either have similar or identical elements to that
of the Avenue of the Fountains:
ASU Sundevil Stadium Plaza:
Abell & Associate, developed an entire sports complex masterplan
and designed a new entry plaza to the ASU Sun Devil Stadium.
This project presented numerous coordination and design
challenges including studies to blend the plaza into the existing
campus mall context, plans for the new Intercollegiate Athletic
Building [ICA], new below grade bus ingress and egress for visiting
teams, a spur line of the Southern Pacific railroad and a
considerations of major signage, security, and traffic control.
ASU Administration Courtyard and Plaza:
Conceived as a formal campus quad, this major extension of the
ASU mall theme recognized a much -needed pedestrian connection
between the new Student Services Building and the heart of the
ASU campus.
` Formerly an asphalt parking lot, Abell & Associate fashioned a
i vision plan that eliminated parking in favor of a new, green oasis.
_ All hardscape development, plant material design and selection,
civil engineering coordination, watering system design, and site
furnishings were under this prime contract.
For the ASU University Drive Streetscape,
Washingtonia Palms were selected to integrate the
new Mall into the prevailing edge theme on the ASU
campus perimeter
Several new campus standards were established as part of this
assignment including picnic tables, lighting bollards, drinking
fountain, along with new watering system components and
strategies.
A new brick patio "dining court" is a much used area sheltered by
Chinese Pistache trees and flowering Bradford Pear trees that will
offer a touch of campus fall color during the autumn and early
winter months.
ASU University Avenue Streetscape:
Defining a new, attractive campus edge along this busy Tempe
thoroughfare was the major design task in planning this
continuation of the ASU Mall theme. Raised exposed aggregate
concrete planters with terrazzo benches, scored colored and
textured concrete paving, bike path and plant material selections for
a three block stretch were designed to coordinate with existing
buildings, parking areas, traffic and street hardware.
Due to significant road widening, street edges
were re -landscaped and repaired in many cases in
addition to significant new plantings throughout this
2 mile Rural Road Streetscape improvement
project.
The Anchor Center Plaza, integrated water
features, lawn areas, and richly textured plaza
paving to create a unique sense of `place".
Rural Road Streetscape:
Design of a parkway system for the City of Tempe along south
Rural Road involved coordination of numerous site factors: new
bikepaths, roadway widening, major streetscape plantings, water
conservation irrigation design and bicycle/ jogger rest stop.
Abell & Associates undertook all project management, master -
planning, landscape architecture and hardscape design to create a
beautiful streetscape for this major thoroughfare. Representatives
of Salt River Project, Tempe Traffic Engineering, Parks and
Recreation and Water Services were all welcomed to the project
team for their early advice on this assignment.
Anchor Center Plaza:
Designing an urban plaza on top of a 5 level parking deck was the
k major challenge presented to I'bell & Associates as part of this
,. Anchor Center 3 expansion project.
Coordinating conceptual hardscape plaza design, landscape
plantings, plaza lighting, and fountain design with HNTB Engineers
and Architects, our dedicated team advanced a "Festival Center"
concept that was harmonious with the new architecture and
accommodated outdoor dining and public reception events.
For the Mayo Clinic, Abell & Associates created a
dynamic social plaza where patents and visitors can
congregate.
The Mesa Cultural walk was a great success due in
part to ability to bring together
many different parties.
Two major tree selections provide contrast and variety throughout
the year: flowering orchid trees for spring bloom color and Chinese
tallow trees that offer brilliant orange and red autumn foliage color.
Mayo Clinic Plaza:
In consideration for a clientele in ill health Abell & Associates
emphasized creating an atmosphere of visitor delight in the desert.
Field reconnaissance for nature vegetation studies and controlled
desert salvage operations were instrumental in blending the plant
palate from phases I into phase II of this project. Careful
coordination with existing time clocks and controls allowed for
integration of the two watering systems. The firms past experience
in dealing with the City of Scottsdale Design Review Board as well
as understanding and planning for a steep rocky desert site helped
expedite the design process.
Mesa Cultural Walk:
This project was developed in several facets with federal
community development block grants [CDBG] along with the city of
Mesa Abell & Associates designed landscaping, hardscaping and
wayfinding systems while coordinating these efforts with existing
downtown Mesa conditions such as current businesses, driveways,
and utilities. Abell & Associates created a memorable civic walk that
would unite downtown Mesa's cultural destination points. Also
associated with this project was a signage design package, thus
allowing us to service the city of Mesa in several facets.

Desert Education Center
The Phoenix Zoo
The Phoenix Zoo embarked on a bold new adventure in challenging
Abell & Associates Architects to create a desert village immersion
experience that would allow zoo visitors to view desert animals and
learn about and region ecosystems.
Working with zoo animal curators, education directors, visitors
services personnel, and zoo administration, Abell & Associates
crafted a program and schematic design that would introduce the zoo
visitor to the mystery and charms of the great Sonoran. Additionally,
the parallel story of other great deserts of the world will be illustrated
including the Great Victoria of Australia, the Sahara, the Arabian
desert, and the unusual Monte desert of northern Argentina.
In particular, this masterplan and development study took a very
careful look at the Arabian Oryx exhibit [the signature animal of the
Phoenix Zoo], and the Arizona Bighorn Sheep Exhibit, for integration
into naturalistic habitats within the rocks of the Papago Buttes. Large
emphasis was placed on developing multi -species exhibits as much
as possible.
Ultimately, portions of this comprehensive masterplan effort were
built in modified form as an expansion to the successful Arizona Trail.
The desert city, as an interpretive platform, is currently under revision
and review at the Phoenix Zoo staff level with plans for
implementation slated several years away.

crime prevention design approaches in a mall and
garden environment intended to serve the physically
disabled clients of The Centers for Habilitation
♦ Abell & Associates Architects, Ltd. design for
the Historic Casa Blanca Inn in Scottsdale reflected the
history and heritage of the region.
Significant project features we anticipate are similar to those encountered in our
recent experience for university campus improvement, the Arizona State Capitol
Mall, and the tourist destinations for City of Scottsdale, Town of Gilbert and The
Phoenix Zoo:
• Art Integration: we have had tremendous project experiences
incorporating art programs, arts & crafts fairs and art objects into mall
and landscape projects..
• Safety and Security: our team was decades of collective experience
in the design of malls and outdoor spaces. Design principles
incorporating Crime Prevention through Environmental Design
[CPTED] have been a hallmark of our design methodology for over 20
years.
• Emergency Access: over 20 major malls and plazas have been
designed by Abell & Associates, all requiring 911 emergency vehicular
access, fire truck accessibility, and ADA accessibility requirements.
Our team is knowledgeable of these environmental design
requirements.
• American with Disabilities: not only for non -ambulatory visitors, but
for an entire generation of active senior adults who travel, dine, and
frequent tourist destinations, yet do so with some sight impairments,
declining coordination, hearing loss, and other physical ailments. Our
skilled staff understands the full spectrum of ADA design demands,
and is equipped to work with you in making this project conform in the
best way to the demands of our users and visitors.
• Sensitivity to the Retail Realm: Abell & Associates has excellent
retail design experience ranging from downtown Tempe to Arizona
Mills Mall. We understand the operational needs of the retailers, and
hospitality business who are the backbone of the Avenue of the
Fountains.
• Arts District / Sonoran Region Legacy: some members of our team
have lived and worked in the east valley for over 30 years and have
great zeal for the civic character and identity represented by this
project. We will show special sensitivity to the legacy of Fountain Hills
and will promulgate a celebration of our unique Sonoran desert
identity.
• Design for the Municipal and Public Realm: So many of the firm's
projects deal with the unique circumstances of a municipal client. The
responsibility for urban quality that is married to ease of maintenance,
vandal resistance, safety and security and the ever -changing demands
of use placed on civic facilities.
• Stakeholders: the short term and long term success of the project
lies in the hearts and minds of the stakeholders. We are ever mindful
that we serve the public and that we are in service to society. Our
design work will be measured by the good feelings, the good business
activity, and the civic pride generated by our efforts. To the extent that
we allow all stakeholders to make this their project, the long term
success will be insured for many years to come. We believe our
process of design makes this "handoff' self-evident. We are merely
the `catalyst' for the early stages of the project.
A The full shade and dappled light of this outdoor
courtyard on the ASU Main campus is a good
example of Abell & Associates experience in
designing delightful outdoor event areas.

developed not only a pedestrian trail system, but more
importantly it defined a Town Center. The proposed Town
Center was structured along a Paseo pedestrian spine with
a core open space with retail shop frontage.
The Laveen plan was recognized with an Honor Award
from the Arizona Chapter of the American Society of
Landscape Architects.
In 1999, a group, worked with MAG and the City of
Phoenix Planning Department, on a Pedestrian Design
Project. This project developed a planning framework and
design guidelines for development of pedestrian oriented
designs for a future village core, with a series of open
space trail linkages to future community development
areas. The design and planning intent of the Laveen
watercourse was to reflect the agricultural heritage of the
village through the use, and modification of, the historic
canal system. The pedestrian watercourse was envisioned
to include and interconnect a multiple -use trail system with
pedestrian nodes and activity centers along the way. The
watercourse will also interconnect with a larger Phoenix
Metropolitan trails plan and link with bus stops and Park
and Ride facilities.
e group. worked for MAG, Maricopa Association of
Governments, and Dean Brennnan, Planner from the City
of Phoenix Planning Department, to complete this
Pedestrian Design Enhancement Project. The purpose of
the project was to develop a design strategy and guidelines
for the development of a Village Core and open space trail
watercourse system to link the future growth and
development framework of the community, located in
Southwest Phoenix. Budget: $ 60,000 study; Completed:
February 2001; Contact: Dawn Coomer, MAG 602-452-

Approach
We understand that the Town of Fountain Hills wishes to
obtain professional services of a consultant to undertake
your Scope of Work, in five steps, and complete a Concept
Plan to redevelop the Avenue of the Fountains, as a major
component of the Downtown Project Area.
We carefully reviewed your Scope of Work and write to
confirm our interest in this project. Since the Town of
Fountain Hills commissioned an economic enhancement
study in 2001 to determine the boundaries and establish a
vision for the project area, we believe it will be important to
integrate ideas from these community stakeholders and the
Town.
Our approach will work closely with representatives of the
Town, the Community and stakeholders. The planning
process will be an interactive approach, as we research
and prepare preliminary drafts and plans. A successful
concept plan needs to build consensus at every step in the
process, to produce a plan that the community will

Proposal - Avenue of the Fountains, Fountain Hills
Understanding: Issues and Ideas
We understand a goal of the Avenue of the Fountains is to
be both a destination and an amenity that gives the entire
downtown a sense of place and an identity. Creating a
destination implies attracting people, and encouraging
people to park, get out of their cars and walk. Thus,
pedestrian design enhancements will be important.
Creating an amenity that gives the downtown a sense of
place implies creating an identity that is unique to Fountain
Hills and encourages people to walk. The fountain at
Fountain Lake Park is an important connection with the
unique identity of Fountain Hills.
Specific issues and ideas that we see as priority of the Town
include the following:
1. Traffic Control:
Speeding auto traffic east to west is making north to south
pedestrian foot traffic difficult and dangerous. The Town
has a great desire to link the north and south sections of
downtown. We believe traffic calming techniques should be
considered. Calming techniques could include meandering
the Avenue and making it a narrower lane with parking.
Other calming techniques may include curb widening, or
corner bulbs, to reduce the pedestrian travel distance to
cross the Avenue. The Avenue of the Fountains must be a
less attractive "through -way" and a more attractive,
pleasant and convenient destination for traffic to park and
pedestrians to walk.
2. Identity:
The Avenue of the Fountains is a collection of unrelated
and disjointed fountains and landscape elements whose
whole is lesser than the sum of its' parts. There is no
character, identity, or points of interest to draw people too
the "median green". The "Park" could function as a full time
art walk and arboretum that facilitates and encourages
activities and special events. The use of "landmark"
artwork, pedestrian walkway, with activity nodes, or
gathering areas with benches, pedestrian lighting, trash
receptacles and a top quality landscape design will create
a sense of place and destination for the people of Fountain
Hills.
3. A.D.A. Accessibility:
The narrow existing decomposed granite pathways do not
meet the standards for A.D.A. Accessibility. Pedestrian
walkways of concrete with accessible ramps at pedestrian
crosswalks will help attract people and create a safe,
convenient and accessible route. A grading study would
help ensure all walks meet accessibility standards and
ramps and paths are developed with less than a 5%
gradient, to improve access.

Proposal - Avenue of the Fountains, Fountain Hills
East view to Fountain Lake - Visual Connection?
4. Vistas:
The east end of the Avenue of the Fountains is focused on
the Town Fountain as a visual terminus, and the west end
views the picturesque mountains as their visual terminus.
The lush plantings that include olive, citrus, eucalyptus
trees, block these views, until the ends of the park. View
corridors at both ends of the park need to be opened up to
take advantage of and enhance these spectacular views.
View west towards the mountains - Where are the pedestrian
crosswalks?
5. Utilities / Fountain Equipment:
The entire length of the "median green" is cluttered with
above ground utility and pool equipment. This equipment
needs to be updated and placed in vaults. This will save
valuable open space in the park and will help minimize the
"visual liabilities".

n 1978, Richard Bloch, co-
founder and honorary chairman
of H&R Block tax preparation
services, was diagnosed with ter-
minal lung cancer and given
three months to get his affairs in or-
der. Instead of tidying up before dy-
ing, he sought a second opinion,
found a doctor who guided him
through aggressive treatment, and
after two years was declared cured.
Since then, and through a second
battle with cancer, he and his wife,
Annette, have devoted their lives to
helping people survive cancer.
What does this have to do with
landscape architecture? Plenty.
Among the many support and edu-
cational services that the R.A. Bloch
Cancer Foundation, Inc., provides
is the cancer survivors park pro-
gram that has created several
small parks across the country. To
date the foundation has funded 17
parks to completion, 2 are soon to
open, and 7 more are in the works.
"There is enough to build 52
more parks in large metropolitan
areas," says foundation adminis-
trator Vangie Rich. The founda-
tion, solely funded by the Bloch
family, pays for the development

Why parks? When Richard Bloch speaks to a group about
surviving cancer, he always begins by saying: "Welcome to the
wonderful world of hope." In 1982, Bloch retired from H&R
Block, and since then he has invested more than $50 million in
the idea that cancer can be cured and that the success of a cure
depends on the patient's belief in the cure. The parks serve in
several ways to nurture cancer patients' faith in their own sur-

vival. The first step, and perhaps the parks' raison d'etre, is learn-
ing where to turn for help when diagnosed with cancer. Through
programmatic elements common to all, the parks suggest cura-
tive possibilities even before someone is diagnosed with cancer.
One out of every four Americans will be so diagnosed at some
point in her or his life.
The "most important element is signage," says Rich, and no
doubt the first element to stick in the memories of people who
see the parks is the "Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors
Park" sign. The sign is placed in a prominent location so com-

versity (where I teach in the landscape architecture
graduate program), I learned that it was a cancer survivors
park. After its completion, I took a closer look, and 1 have
returned on two other occasions with graduate students.
The park is evident to drivers from the street that faces
the entrance, but others probably overlook it among the
distractions of suburban road clutter. Drivers with green
lights are apt not to notice the park at all.
The consensus among the students was that the park
was well designed (by local landscape architect Bill Ker-
win) in defining rooms and different spaces for users, and
that it was well constructed. But every student had diffi-
culty knowing how to react to the concept of a cancer
survivors park. What exactly does that mean? As a non -
cancer survivor, how should I feel? Should I even be here?
On the other hand, the park seemed too prescriptive and
overprogrammed in some respects. Every step and
thought is laid out through the mandated "road to recov-
ery" plaques, the "positive mental attitude walk," the
sculpture of eight life-size figures passing through a
maze, the meditation stations, etc.
I've also visited the cancer survivors park in Columbus,
Ohio, which is similarly located at a busy intersection amid
cornfields and Ohio State Universi-
ty athletic fields. There's a curious
lack of urban context and sense of
connection to the main part of the
muters can see it clearly. Each cancer out everything
survivors park is located on a busy thor- Knowledge
oughfare. The intent is to get as many book Fi_
people as possible to see the parks and
the signs so they can begin to, as Rich
says, "equate cancer with survivorship."
There's one on the road to San Diego In-
ternational Airport, for instance, and
ROWNw—
Dallas commuters might notice one on the way downtown.
Ohio State University students heading for classes in
Columbus might observe one as well. As a cofounder of the
most recognizable tax preparation business in the country,
the value of name recognition isn't lost on Bloch (who in
1955, with his brother Henry, chose the business name of
H&R Block because they thought Block would be more rec-
ognizable than Bloch).
To receive foundation funding, the parks must have high
visibility. This may seem incongruous with concepts of heal-
ing environments. Wouldn't a cancer patient feel more nur-
tured in a quiet secluded garden, like places advocated by
designers and researchers of therapeutic spaces? "We aren't
According to the cancer parks web site
(www.blochcancerorg/virtual park), Richard and An-
nette Bloch intended the cancer survivors parks to be "a
tribute to the living" with a clear message, "Don't equate
death and cancer." They see the parks as the media for
getting this message to the largest possible audience, as
well as places for cancer survivors to visit. The relative
importance of "sending a message" to motorists over
providing an experience for park visitors is indicated by
statements such as, "It must be in a location that will be
seen daily by many —such as a prominent position on a
major traffic -way.... Therefore, the visibility is probably as
important as all other factors combined .... It wants to
make a magnificent showing to the passerby.... Therefore,
the impression to the casual passerby is far more impor-
tant than the interior finish."
But I wonder if billboards or some simpler symbolic ges-
ture, such as the clusters of three crosses erected in 28
states by Christian evangelist Bernard Coffindaffer, would
be more effective in sending the message. Ultimately,
however, by locating the parks in high -traffic areas that
are difficult for pedestrians to reach and by making innov-
ative design a secondary priority, the Blochs forego oppor-
tunities to create more rewarding
spaces where cancer survivors and
others can learn, meditate, reflect,
and gain strength and inspiration.

other words, the Blochs probably would
not. approve a scheme that tried to nestle
the programmatic elements in a tranquil
Olmstedian landscape. Preferring visibility
over a traditional American park aesthetic
might help explain why the Blochs tend to
award design commissions to architects rather than landscape
architects. The parks are not designed to be exclusively thera-
peutic; they are created to get the word out that cancer is sur-
vivable. Richard Bloch believes that a person with cancer who
has seen a survivors park prior to diagnosis will remember it
and will be more likely to visit to find information and hope.
The cancer survivors parks function on principles of prod-
uct recognition in consumer marketing by relying on consis-
tency of form or elements. The first parks had to include five
elements: the "Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors
Park" sign, the "Cancer... There's Hope" sculpture designed
by Mexican artist Victor Salmones, fourteen plaques placed
along a path called the `Positive Mental Attitude Walk," seven
plaques along the "Road to Recovery," and
a computer where cancer survivors could
enter their names into a database. The
plaques include a combination of inspira-
tional messages ("cancer is the most cur-
able of all chronic diseases") and practical
information ("read the book Fighting Can-
cer, available free from 800-433-0464").
The computer element has been sup-
planted by an online registration service
because exposure to the elements took a
toll on the hardware. In lieu of the origi-
nal computer component, the foundation's
web address is posted in each park, so vis-
itors can log on later and go to the online
cancer survivor site. The web site lists can-
cer survivors (people free of cancer for at
least five years), organized by cancer type.
The other four elements remain.
Inseparable from any design criticism
of the parks is consideration of the
degree to which the parks help peo-
ple survive. "If each park can in-
spire one or two people each year to
fight and succeed," says Richard
Bloch, "then we think they're
worthwhile." The anecdotal evi-
dence of this is compelling. People
who have survived cancer send the
foundation photographs of them-
selves weaving their way through
the maze in the Salmones sculp-
ture. Vangie Rich decided to join
the foundation staff after talking
with a young man who had told her
about his own fight with cancer
and how he had gone many times
to the park during treatment. Now,
as a cancer survivor, he returns to
the park to remember what he has
been through. "There isn't a person
who hasn't been touched by can-
cer," says Rich. If the parks can
reach people and give them hope,
this is a measure of success. "So
many people die, because they
don't try to live," says Bloch, add-
ing that death begins with the
abandonment ofhope. In truth, it's
hard to look at a $50-million com-
mitment to giving people hope in
their battle with cancer and find
fault. It would require a high de-
gree of uneamed arrogance to pooh-
pooh it in any way.
To better understand how the
concepts and features are realized
on the ground, I visited four cancer
survivors parks: one in Phoenix,
Arizona, and three in California, at
Rancho Mirage, San Diego, and
Bakersfield. The first three, de-
signed by architect Michael Kiner
of Michael Kiner Associates, artist
Mario Bartels, and landscape de-
signer Bennet Puterbaugh of Blue
Palm Landscape & Design (who
hail from the Southern California
cities of Palm Desert, Laguna
Beach, and Palm Springs respec-
tively), have similar characteristics.
The Phoenix park also involved design devel-
opment, implementation, and plant selection
input from the a group, a multidisciplinary
landscape architecture firm in Phoenix.
After I studied these four parks, the elements
began to feel redundant. This is, of course, part
of the intent: to educate via repetition. Like

the Golden Arches that signal the Big Mac, Sal-
mones's muscular bronze sculpture, depicting
cancer patients and their families moving through
the maze of cancer treatment, became a familiar
image of cancer survival. The figures transition
from anxious and melancholy gestures to those
of joy, a literal representation of the emotional
journey through -the maze of cancer
treatment and recovery. People who
prefer abstract art may find the sculp-
ture's message rendered in a too obvi-
ous manner. Walking along the
"Positive Mental Attitude Walk" and
the "Road to Recovery," I recalled
lessons I'd learned about design com-
munication, especially how to convey
information without signage. A design
professional might prefer a more poet-
ic approach to saying: "There are treat-
ments for every type of cancer." On the
other hand, people with cancer might
not want to slog through a cryptic artis-
tic expression of that fact while walk-
ing their road to recovery.

scape architecture, a critic may overlook

cesses and failures. But, of course, process
informs design, so it is important to con-
sider. The Phoenix park, for example, "was
a good collaboration," says Ronald D.
Tatasciore, an associate with a group. Tatas-
ciore oversaw the development of the con-
struction documents, refinement of the
design, and the approval and construction
process for the park. "You can't claim any
one person did any one thing," he says,
though he's quick to credit James Burke
and Walter Kinsler of the city of Phoenix
Parks and Recreation Department for con-
tributing to the successful execution of the
park. "If it weren't for Jim and Walt, it
wouldn't have happened," he says. Beyond
working through the approval process in
coordination with e group, Burke and
Kinsler were able to secure lighting from
the local utility company and paving from
the transportation department, which
helped keep the project within budget.
Burke also feels good about the park -
making process and the outcome. Bloch,
he says, "had this vision. It was very infec-
tious, and we just bought into it." Today,
Burke says, he will veer off the wide
straight Central Avenue and onto the road
along the park "just to drive down a curvy
street." Indeed, the wavy lanes that frame
the park offer a reprieve from the monoto-
nous gridiron road pattern in Phoenix.
Curvilinear streets are the norm ad nause-
am in the outlying suburbs, but so near the
downtown the brief wiggles are a novelty
that helps slow traffic passing by the park.
Despite the tight programming of the
required elements, the parks, many of
which function more as plazas, have other
means for artistic expressions beyond the
required features. For instance, Marlo Bar-
tels's work is colorful and full of textural
surprises. Kiner notes the healing quali-
ties of Bartels's work —rich tile mosaics
thick with blue hues so suited to coastal
or desert light. It's "very bright, very up,
exciting visually," says Kiner. Blue "is a
healing color," he adds. Of the obelisk that
is incorporated into the Phoenix park, Bar-
tels says it is "kind of a memorial form"
that has to do with the sun, the ever-pre-
sent natural element of the Phoenician
landscape. The tile mosaic patterns are al-
so "stars from different galaxies," adds Bar-
tels, "like celebrations."

When it comes to parks, landscape ar-
chitects tend to assume divine design
rights, but the Bloch park commissions
are given to "whomever happens to win
the design competition," says Rich. The
Blochs, who approve all designs, "look for
something dramatic, something that
would make somebody want to go into the
park," she says. As an architect, Kiner
brings a strong structural presence to the
three parks he has designed by using built
forms to delineate space.
To date, all of the existing parks rely on
architectural forms —columns, gazebos,
bridges, and buildings —to provide strong
identity and drama. The parks are gener-
ally less than two acres, and many are
much smaller but are mandated to have a

loud voice. They are the mice that roar. Do
they succeed? Purely from a design sense
(if design can be considered in a vacuum),
some fall short. The parks in San Diego,
Phoenix, and Rancho Mirage are articu-
late and dynamic spaces. The Bakersfield
park is much less so. Lacking a sense of
movement, it can be comprehended by
visitors before they actually enter the
space. The Bakersfield park proves that
placing all the elements on the site can be
accomplished within a mundane design.
However, in the large scheme of the cancer
survivors parks, Bakersfield seems to be an
exception rather than a rule. The Bakers-
field park's planting design could also be
better. The plant palette relies on tradi-
tional species, such as gardenia, which are
limping along in a state of chlorotic paral-
ysis. The other parks are more successful
in this regard.
Plants have a long-standing place in
healing, as herbal remedies and for creat-
ing living, changing, and restorative
places. Roger Ulrich and others have pro-
vided sound research supporting the heal-
ing qualities of plants, so the planting
designs could do more than provide deco-
ration within the parks. The park in Rancho

Mirage uses plants and the natural terrain
to create a sense of escape to a secluded
garden filled with the melody of a water-
fall, despite its location on a thorough-
fare. The Phoenix park includes regional
plants, such as saguaro cactus, ironwood
trees, ocotillo, and desert milkweed, that
attract wildlife and give the park a sense
of fit. Those with a little knowledge of
Greek mythology can also appreciate the
use of the milkweed (Asclepius subulata).
Not only does the species lure butterflies,
the genus is named after Aesclepius, son
of Apollo and god of healing. The park is
