* MAYOR'S REPORT
i) The Mayor may review recent events attended relating to economic development.
Mayor Kavanagh stated that they had a wonderful visit from the Town's German exchange students and she was
pleased to give them a tour of Town Hall and present them with some token gifts. She said that the Town's
students are certainly well taken care of when they visit Germany and she was glad that they had the opportunity
to host these wonderful youths.
ii) The Mayor will read a Proclamation declaring October 13 Domestic Violence Awareness Month in
Fountain Hills.
The Mayor stated that home should be a place of warmth, unconditional love, tranquility and security and that
for most of us home and family can indeed be counted amount our greatest blessings. She added that tragically
for many Americans, these are blessings that are tarnished by violence and fear and noted that women, men,
young children and the elderly are all counted among the victims of domestic violence. She advised that
physical injury and deaths occur and emotional scars are often permanent and law enforcement officials, hotline
services, health care providers, the clergy and concerned citizens are helping in the effort to end domestic
violence. The Mayor called upon everyone to recognize the compassion and dedication of these volunteers and
professionals, applaud their efforts and increase public understanding of this important problem. Mayor
Kavanagh proclaimed the month of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the Town of Fountain
Hills.
iii) The Mayor will read a Proclamation declaring October 2013 Fire Prevention Month in Fountain Hills.
Mayor Kavanagh stated that the Town Fountain Hills is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all
those living in and visiting the Town and fire is a serious public safety concern both locally and nationally, and
homes are the locations where people are at the greatest risk from fire. She added that home fires killed more
than 2,500 people in the United States in 2011 and fire departments in the U.S. responded to 370,000 home fires.
The Mayor further stated that cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S.; two out of every five home
fires started in the kitchen and unattended equipment was a factor in one-third of the reported cooking fires. She
strongly urged Town residents to stay in the kitchen when frying food on the stovetop, keep a three foot kid free
zone around cooking areas and keep anything that can catch fire away from stove tops. She encouraged
residents to plan and practice a home fire escape plan and said that working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying
in reported home fires in half. Mayor Kavanagh proclaimed October 2013 Fire Prevention Month in the Town
of Fountain Hills and urged all Town residents to check their kitchens for fire hazards, use safe cooking
practices and support the many public safety activities and efforts of the Fountain Hills' Fire Department.
iv) The Mayor will read a Proclamation declaring October 7 - 11, 2013 Customer Service Week in Fountain
Hills.
Mayor Kavanagh advised that in 1992, the U.S. Congress proclaimed Customer Service Week a nationally
recognized event, celebrated annually during the first full week in October. She noted that the Town is
committed to providing the highest and most efficient level of customer service and added that the Town would
like to express its sincere thanks and appreciation for the excellent service provided to the citizens of the Town
on a daily basis by all employees of the Town. The Mayor proclaimed October 7th through October 11, 2013 as
Customer Service Week in Fountain Hills and respectfully asked all citizens to express thanks for the
outstanding customer service provided by Town staff throughout the year.
z:\council packets\2013\r131107\131003m.docx Page 3 of 10
v) The Mayor will read a Proclamation declaring October 10, 2013 Red Ribbon Day in Fountain Hills.
Mayor Kavanagh stated that alcohol and drug abuse in this nation are at epidemic stages and it is imperative that
visible, unified prevention education efforts by community members be launched to eliminate the demand for
drugs. She said that the National Red Ribbon Campaign will be celebrated in Town on October 10, 2013 and
business, local, national and state governments, parents, law enforcement, media, medical institutions, schools,
senior citizens, life organizations and youth will demonstrate their commitment to healthy, drug-free lifestyles
by wearing and displaying red ribbons on this day. The Mayor proclaimed October 10, 2013 Red Ribbon Day
in Fountain Hills and encouraged residents to participate in drug prevention education activities on this day and
all year long, making a visible statement that we are strongly committed to a drug-free Town.
* SCHEDULED PUBLIC APPEARANCES/PRESENTATIONS
i) Presentation by Jim McKee, Vice President of Corporate Services for EPCOR, relating to the 2013
Chaparral City Water Company Rate Increase Application.
Jim McKee, Vice President of Corporate Services for EPCOR, addressed the Council and highlighted a bri ef
PowerPoint presentation (copy available on line and in the office of the Town Clerk) relative to the 2013
Chaparral City Water Company Rate Increase Application. Mr. McKee's presentation covered the following
topics:
* Operations (Serving approximately 13,600 customers
* The Rate Setting Process
* The 2013 Rate Case Application
* What is Next:
November 01, 2013: Deadline for intervention
November 25, 1013: Staff & Intervention Testimony Due
December 30, 2013: CCWC Response to Testimony
February 18, 2013: ACC (Arizona Corporation Commission) Public Hearings Begin
Mr. McKee advised that the new rates would become effective once approved by the ACC.
* Why the Rate Increase is Being Requested
* What is in the Rate Increase
* What this Means for Customers
Mr. McKee also provided site information where residents can find out more about the rate increase and
indicated his willingness to respond to questions from the Council.
Mayor Kavanagh thanked Mr. McKee for his presentation and said residents have asked her questions that she
would like to bring forward at this time and the most common one has to do with arsenic in the water. She
stated that they talked about this when the company first came into Town -- what they were going to do. She
requested that Mr. McKee go into a little more detail about what is being done as far as the arsenic in the water -
- what is in the water now, how safe is the water?
Mr. McKee advised that about five years ago the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) came out with a
minimum contaminant level for arsenic that was quite a bit lower than what it had in place at that time (was 60
mg per liter and they reduced that level to 10 mg per liter). He explained that that action resulted in a number of
water systems having to treat the water and take the arsenic out of the water. He said that in some cases they
could blend the water with good water depending on the levels of arsenic. He said that the levels are set by the
EPA and the water is considered safe. He added that the summer volume in Town is around 6 million gallons a
day and they were concerned about water reliability in the Town -- the main takeoff off the CAP canal is way
down at the bottom of the hill, closer to Scottsdale, and then it has to be pumped up Shea Boulevard to the water
z:\council packets\2013\r131107\131003m.docx Page 4 of 10
treatment plant (approximately five miles) so if anything happened in that pipeline, they would all start to lose
their water source. He added that they wanted more assurance for the Town and Well #10 had good flow rates
but it had large levels of arsenic so they constructed an arsenic treatment facility and brought the contaminant
level well below the approved minimum standard.
Don Long, a long-term Chaparral City Water company employee, addressed the Council and said the EPA has
continued to lower the maximum contaminate levels over the years, requiring the company to treat the water
more and more. He assured the Council that they are now at a safe, lower contaminant level.
Mayor Kavanagh stated that she has also heard from residents that they use less water than their neighbors yet
their bills are so much higher. She asked if one home had this particular problem whether the company would
send someone out to check and see whether there is an issue.
Mr. McKee and Mr. Long both responded absolutely.
The Mayor said that residents also wanted to make sure that they would have an opportunity to attend the public
hearing and testify before the ACC. Mr. McKee stated that residents who wish to testify on this matter will have
to register as an Intervenest to testify but residents can provide public comments to the ACC if they so wish.
Mayor Kavanagh asked if there would be a Call to the Public at the meeting.
Cheryl Hubbard addressed the Council and stated that at the ACC Public Hearing that is scheduled for February
18, 2014, there will be an opportunity for the public to voice their comments and they will be made part of the
record. She explained that anyone wishing to provide comments should submit a comment card, similar to the
process that is followed at the Town Council meetings, and then they will be provided an opportunity to speak.
Mayor Kavanagh advised that they experienced some low pressure incidents in Town and asked if the problem
has been solved in that particular area.
Mr. Long responded that the problem has been solved and they just received another call that they will address.
He added that they are also trying to educate the public on things that can contribute to lower pressure (water
softener being on, etc.).
Councilmember Leger stated that the company recently held an Open House at the Community Center and
asked how many residents were in attendance.
Mr. McKee replied that they have held five events, including two Open Houses that were poorly attended (at the
Open House held last week only two people attended, an employee of the Town and a gentleman from the
Fountain Hills Times). He added that they have done bill inserts and bill messaging and have received some hits
on their website where residents can find information but very few actually look.
Councilmember Yates thanked Mr. McKee for his presentation and said that they are good partners and overall,
health and safety are the number one priority. He asked what kind of profit margin the company is getting now
and where will the rate increase take them. He said part of what they are asking for is a return on capital and he
is respectful of wanting to make a profit, and they are good partners, but would like information on this.
Mr. McKee replied that he doesn't have a dollar total but percentage wise they are limited by what the ACC says
and the current rates are based on a 10.5% return on the equity, which means that is their return that they receive
from their investment in the utility. He further stated that they are also allowed to collect debt servicing costs
but those are all pass-through expenses, there is no additional add on to those.
z:\council packets\2013\r131107\131003m.docx Page 5 of 10
Councilmember Yates asked Mr. McKee to walk him through their diligence period (i.e. what was expected).
Mr. McKee responded that they hired an engineering firm that did the assessment for them. He noted that they
could only see what they could see and in some cases they couldn't get inside the reservoir but they did note a
number of deficiencies on the outside -- nothing that alarmed them, they thought that the system was in good
condition. He stated that they are finding that it is more the underground construction and the lack of
maintenance, which is rather shocking. He said that they thought they were walking into a well maintained
facility but they are finding some surprises now.
Mayor Kavanagh thanked Mr. McKee for his presentation.
ii) Presentation by Brad Smidt of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council entitled, "GPEC, a Public-Private
Partnership to Enhance the Economy.
Brad Smith, Senior Vice President of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) addressed the Council and
highlighted a brief PowerPoint presentation entitled, "GPEC, a Public-Private Partnership to Enhance the
Economy" (copy available on line and in the office of the Town Clerk). Mr. Smith discussed the following
topics:
* History/Background of GPEC
* Performing & Excelling
* Member Communities
* GPEC 2016: Five Year Vision
* Applying their Selling Approach
* Current Prospect Activities as of 8/31/13
* Marketing & Branding
* Delivering a Return on Investment for Phoenix
Mr. Smith thanked the Council for the opportunity to address them and indicated his willingness to respond to
any questions.
Councilmember Yates said that the Town received GPEC's leads for existing space ; however, most of the leads
that come in are for fairly large projects (10,000 to 20,000 square feet) and they need something immediately.
He added that they do have some good opportunities in Town and they are trying to get that word out. He
asked if the "sweet spots" are the larger existing vacant shells or are there some couture businesses that would
require less square footage.
Mr. Smith responded that as GPEC continues to develop the emerging technology process they are working with
a lot of smaller businesses (cyber security firms, etc.) and seeing a lot of much smaller types of uses (anywhere
from 5,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet). He agreed that in the past they have seen a lot more of the larger
projects but last year they had over 30 projects that were under 25,000 square feet in size. He stated that they
are working with the communities and they are scheduling community planning meetings and they want to work
with the Town's staff and the Council to get a better feel for what they have a vailable now and how GPEC can
help market the space that much better.
Vice Mayor Elkie noted that 33 companies were placed in 11 cities and questioned whether any were in
Fountain Hills.
Mr. Smith replied no, they were not.
z:\council packets\2013\r131107\131003m.docx Page 6 of 10
Vice Mayor Elkie commented that they have had a lot of discussion among the members of the Council
regarding the Town's membership with GPEC and they are looking at the Return on Investment as well but are
also mindful somewhat of their limited resources, which might not necessarily fit what Councilmember Yates
mentioned as far as the big ones. He asked during the time that Mr. Smith has been with GPEC, whether he is
aware of any businesses that they have placed in Fountain Hills.
Mr. Smith responded that he cannot recall one but said then again it is a matter of having the available properties
and the ability to meet the clients' space needs.
Vice Mayor Elkie stated that he is certainly not going after him or anything like that but the question for them
(the Council) then becomes what is their Return on Investment. He added that he understands what Mr. Smith
said about the fact that if a business is placed down the hill in Scottsdale, some of the people might come up and
live in Fountain Hills. He added that perhaps they need a little bit more from GPEC (more things in line with
their particular community, recognizing that they are in the corner of the County to a degree). He stressed the
importance of locating some businesses that would fit that mold because they could certainly use that out here,
especially with their circumstances -- no primary property tax and relying so heavily on sales tax and State
shared revenues.
Mr. Smith advised that that is what GPEC would like to work towards in the Community Planning Sessions in
addition to coming out and meeting with members of the Council and staff (what is available and how can they
work through some of the processes).
Councilmember Leger said that he shares some of the same concerns and they are not trying to put Mr. Smith on
the spot but he couldn't recall anyone who has relocated to Fountain Hills. He questioned whether Mr. Smith
could recall any referrals that were provided to the Town over the last five years.
Mr. Smith responded that of the 215 or so prospects that GPEC sees annually, about 60% are what they call "E-
Track" -- companies that ask GPEC to ask the various communities for their real estate information and so he
would say obviously, with the space available in Fountain Hills, a majority of those the Town may not have
been able to respond to but at the same time those are all referrals that came to Fountain Hills and the other
communities from GPEC. He added that they could go back through them and find out how many the Town has
been able to respond to and give them a better answer.
Councilmember Leger stated that he is hearing Mr. Smith say that there were probably several referrals and he
knows that during the tenure of the Town's previous Economic Development Administrator there were some but
there have not been any since. He asked whether Mr. Smith knew the last time GPEC assessed the Town's
capabilities or had a meeting with staff or Council.
Mr. Smith replied that he knows they came out when the Economic Development Administrator was there and
they typically go out on an annual basis to all of the communities. He stated that it has probably been a year
since they have toured the Town and determined available land and/or zoning.
Councilmember Leger advised that he looks forward to Mr. Smith's next visit.
Councilmember Yates said that sometimes GPEC sends them up to three referrals a month but that is why he
asked about the "sweet spot" because some of the referrals that they are sending the Town are businesses that
need 10,000 to 15,000 square feet immediately. He noted that now they have their public sector brokers
working and they are working with GPEC. He added that they do have a "sweet spot" and if they look at the
Town's demographics and even their location, he thinks they are "just missing" and that is why he is hoping that
some of the tech companies that don't need to be right downtown and with the Beeline they can get to the airport
in 20-25 minutes will be interested in all the Town has to offer.
z:\council packets\2013\r131107\131003m.docx Page 7 of 10
Mr. Smith reiterated that GPEC would like to come out and talk about that process more in-depth because if
Councilmember Yates thinks they are "just missing," there are opportunities they could still put into the mix.
He added that a lot of companies tell them they need 10,000 square feet but maybe they only need 8,000 square
feet to start.
Councilmember Yates commented that they are a niche market but if GPEC can find the right mix of
companies, there are some great opportunities in Town.
Mayor Kavanagh thanked Mr. Smith for his presentation and his input and said that she looks forward to seeing
him again.
CALL TO THE PUBLIC
Town Clerk Bev Bender advised that two citizens wished to speak to the Council.
Linda Bordow addressed the Council and thanked Councilmember Yates for some of the questions he posed
during the Chaparral presentation because she had a lot of those as well. She questioned how Chaparral became
so negligent and where the oversight people were. She said that she wants to know who is going to be
responsible for oversight especially since this is a public company. She added that they should have competent
people on their staff that go out and assess water companies before they purchase them. She also questioned the
thinking behind them hiring a company that already works for them to assess the problems. She referred to the
Central Arizona Project (CAP) and said that the rates have gone up she wants to say 40% but it could be a little
less. She added that EPCOR is looking to raise the rates by 37% and that is a lot of money when you combine
the two together. She questioned some of the reasons provided for the rate i ncrease. She reiterated that she
really would like an answer on who is doing the oversight for the water company.
Mayor Kavanagh advised that representatives from EPCOR are still present in the audience so perhaps Ms.
Bordow can get some of her answers directly from them.
Linda Bellenir addressed the Council and stated that she is present this evening to speak in opposition to
EPCOR's request for a rate increase and to encourage any residents who are as concerned as she is to come
forward and be involved. She said that during the last billing cycle her home was billed for 61,000 gallons of
water at a cost of $245.74 and during that period, only one member was in the home. She advised that high
water bills are not new to them and they have been complaining for many, many years and had the meter
changed out several years ago, the toilets fixed, the pool level changed out, etc., yet nothing changed and the
water bills continue to skyrocket. She added that she has been told to have the water meter pulled out and
checked, however, if they do not find anything wrong with the meter, it will wind up costing her $35.00. She
discussed her dissatisfaction with the customer service she has received and stated that the rate increase should
not go through. She commented on her intention to file her second complaint with the Arizona Corporation
Commission and encouraged all residents to do the same if they are concerned about their water bills or to
contact her directly at detroit_michigan@ cox.net.
Mayor Kavanagh thanked the speakers for their comments.

REGULAR AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM #6 - CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE ARIZONA BUSINESS ADVISORS TO
REVISE THE SCOPE OF WORK RELATING TO FUNDING OF THE BUSINESS START-UP
PROGRAM.
Town Manager Ken Buchanan addressed the Council relative to this agenda item and stated that the Council
approved a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Arizona Business Advisors back in Jun e to provide a
business incubator program designed for the development of entrepreneurial business in the Town. He noted
that the Scope of Work in the PSA required Arizona Business Advisors to obtain funding from the Fountain
Hills Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber has declined to provide such funding ($4,500). He added that the
proposed amendment allows Arizona Business Consultants to obtain equivalent funding from any private
business. He recommended that the Council approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services
Agreement with the Arizona Business Advisors and indicated his willingness to respond to any questions.
There were no citizens wishing to speak on this agenda item.
Vice Mayor Elkie asked whether Mr. Buchanan is aware of another business that has volunteered to provide the
funding and Mr. Buchanan responded yes. He noted that the Council packets contain a letter from the Broker's
Alliance agreeing to pay the funding.
Vice Mayor Elkie questioned whether the Chamber gave any indication of why they declined to provide the
funding and Mr. Buchanan replied no.
Councilmember Leger asked if they know of any other similar situations where the Chamber of Commerce has
declined not to fund although during the budget discussions they agre ed to it. He said that for example during
the budget discussions they agreed to fund $20,000 for tourism and asked whether they have declined to fund
that.
Town Attorney Andrew McGuire advised that he is not aware of any subsequent items like that and it is
probably a bit beyond the scope of this agreement. He said that the Council will be made aware of any
situations arise.
Councilmember Yates MOVED to approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement
with the Arizona Business Advisors and Councilmember Leger SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY by those present (6-0).
