She also reported that the City of Surprise gave a presentation about the benefit of staff inter -office communication and studied this issue because apparently many cities were having a problem with their various departments not communicating on important City issues. Mayor Kavanagh announced at the meeting that there were advantages for a small town like Fountain Hills where staff worked in close quarters and communicated with each other every day; she noted that the Town also had a Town Manager who always kept everyone in the loop. She also stressed that the City of Surprise could have just visited Fountain Hills and observed its staff instead of doing a study on this issue. Mayor Kavanagh said she had attended the executive meeting of the League of Arizona Cities and Towns and noted most of the meeting dealt with the Legislature and the bills currently being heard. She reported that an update to the PSPRS situation was given and noted she had talked about this issue previously with Council and added the League was assisting the Governor's office by working on this important issue that would financially affect all municipalities. Mayor Kavanagh stated she had presented the "State of the Town" address this morning, which shared information on all the Town's accomplishments made during the past year in Fountain Hills, as well as what the Town's future plans were. She pointed out that her presentation was on the Town's website. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Mayor Kavanagh asked if there were any requests to speak and Town Clerk Bender answered there were two requests received. Judi Beischel, a Fountain Hills resident and alternate to the National Executive Committee for the American Legion representing 40,000 people, requested the Town's participation in the declared "Honor and Remember" month established for the month of March for those families in Arizona who had lost family members serving our country. Ms. Beischel added their request was for approximately 340 flags to be displayed in Fountain Park placed across from the Veteran's Memorial honoring service members, police, first responders, and fire department staff killed in the line of duty with flags marked with each individual's name allowing families and the public to give their respects. Ms. Beischel reported that a permit had been submitted for the use in Fountain Park on March 14 through March 21, 2017, and she had requested the Town's park fee be waived for this event because their group was a non-profit. She also mentioned that the Town's recreation staff had been involved in their planning and explained the site would be blue staked before the flags were placed to protect utilities. Ms. Beischel explained on Saturday, March 20 at 10:00 a.m. in Fountain Park there would be ceremony with color guards and local citizen groups to add to the activities and Ms. Beischel hoped Mayor Kavanagh would speak at the event and read a proclamation declaring March "Honor and Remember" month in the Town of Fountain Hills. Mayor Kavanagh explained that Council could not respond during "Call to the Public", but it would be passed on to the Town Manager for follow-up. Jody Knapp, a Fountain Hills resident and member of the Fountain Hills Elks and Fountain Hills American Legion Auxiliary, expressed her support for the "Honor and Remember" event request and mentioned the various local citizen groups that would be involved and requested Council approve the waiver of the park fee. Ms. Knapp maintained no vendors would be involved in the event and would only be a display of flags.

AGENDA ITEM #9 - PRESENTATION BY J2 ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN, LLC RELATING TO THE TOWN'S ADERO CANYON TRAILHEAD DESIGN. Mr. Miller stated it was great that the Town was finalizing this project and noted that the Town and the Fountain Hills Sanitary District had returned their comment plans allowing J2 completion of the plans 100% design. Mr. Miller introduced Community Services Director Mark Mayer to continue the presentation. Mr. Mayer explained that the Town's rational for this project's long planning was due to the determination that development fees could be decided in advance, collected and used when the plan was ready to be initiated. He pointed out that J2 had estimated the budget to complete the project would be slightly under $2M and the Town was close in funding at slightly over $2M. Mr. Mayer provided the project's timeline and added that bidding would take place mid May 2017; assuming bids were within the Town's budget, the contract award would be forwarded to Council for approval in June 2017, with construction beginning when funds were available as of July 1, 2017. He indicated that the project had a construction schedule of six to nine months with anticipated completion in December 2017, but no later than March 2018. Mr. Mayer introduced Jeff Engelmann, Vice President of J2 and a Registered Landscape Architect (RLA) along with Kevin Wallen member of J2 staff who reviewed the design for the Adero Canyon Trailhead project as shown in a PowerPoint presentation (available on line or in the office of the Town Clerk). Mr. Miller acknowledged Chairman Bill Myers of the McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission (MMPC) along with members of the Commission's Preservation committee in attendance and remarked that Chairman Myers had been involved throughout the project's progress and he reported back to the MMPC Commissioners at their meetings. Mr. Engelmann stated he had worked on the trailhead project since 2005 with completion of the master plan in 2006 along with providing a cost estimate for the Town's use. Mr. Engelmann noted the trailhead was located in the area south and east of the current trailhead on MCO's property and development known as Adero Canyon. Mr. Engelmann addressed all areas of the project as follows: Master Plan — completed 2006. Construction documents — Entrance to Adero Canyon Trailhead with Fountain Hills logo and he described the materials used for the entrance and lighting, which included the proposed signage. Gates — one represented the sunrise and the other the moon, which helped instruct the trailhead gates would opened at sunrise and closed at dusk with a design placed on top and created of rebar representing the McDowell Mountains; gates would be manipulated by Town staff. Roadway — at the entrance to drive steadily uphill to the parking area with the roadway concrete colored and applied "timed concrete" with a split landscaped medium and desert landscaping salvaged from the site. Roadside Re -Vegetation — with salvaged surface soils, replaced boulders around the site to enhance the environment and then the area would be reseeded specifically for the site. Parking area — consisted of asphalt with intrusive glare minimized with the same color as the driveway and walkways to allow for easy access to public amenities. Public Amenities — consisted of public restrooms where the building colors selected were natural for the surrounding area with the roof made of rusty steel, like the entry monument, with a low profile and less noticeable to the surrounding development. Picnic ramadas were adjacent to the restroom and set -back z:\council packets\2017\r170216\170216a.docx Last Printed: 2/28/2017 1:34 PM Page 4 of 8 into the rock outcroppings with grand views of Fountain Park. There would be water harvesting from the roofs to a rain water hysteron to allow the watering of native vegetation replanted around the site. Benches would be similar in materials as use in this project with concrete caps and available for people to rest or use under the ramadas. A billboard or public information kiosk with directional information would be placed with hiking lengths described and the availability to add other important information controlled by Town staff. He added that similar materials would be used and the board would also harvest water. Site Enhancements - would include rock walls on site to protect the native washes and should not be visible to the public and built with the same metal and rock filled pillars as the entrance with rock generated from the site to retain the level parking lot development. Mr. Engelmann explained that vegetation would be boxed and local materials used on site and noted that some supplementation may be necessary and would match. Site Linkages — Fountain Hills' residents would have thousands of miles of trails in the area and linkages into the City of Scottsdale and the Maricopa Park system, and if desired, could walk to the Town of Carefree. Mr. Engelmann thanked everyone for their time and indicated that he and Mr. Mayer were open for questions from Council. Councilmember Yates expressed his appreciation for the presentation. Councilmember Yates asked what was J2's estimated cost and Mr. Engelmann answered based on the current Engineering cost estimate $1.9M. Mr. Mayer added that up to $489K was allocated from the General Fund, $1.8M from collected Development Fees with the Town's current budget for this project at $2.1M or 5% of the budget. Councilmember Yates asked if there was any way that the project costs could be kept at $1.8M and Mr. Engelmann explained there were different avenues that could be taken to lower the cost from the initial estimate. Councilmember Brown asked if the basket design at the entrance could be replaced with natural rock face -cuts and Mr. Engelmann answered it was possible and noted this action could be a significant cost saver; he assured the Council that J2 would work with the Town. Vice Mayor DePorter asked how active the wash in the parking area was and how many parking spaces were planned. Mr. Engelmann stated that a drainage report was reviewed and it was determined that correct hydraulic size materials would eliminate any issues and the total numbers of parking spaces were 50 in Phase I and 20 in Phase II. Mr. Miller asked how did the parking spaces numbers compare to others in the valley; Mr. Engelmann answered they were comparable to Phoenix and the surrounding areas. Councilmember Tolis said the plan was a fantastic design and asked what security measures were planned for people using the trailhead and would the gates be manual or electronic. Mr. Engelmann answered the gates would be manual opening and closing the gates at specific times since there was an issue with costs along with the lack of current utilities, and noted that there would be a "Knox Box" on both gates for Police and Fire emergency use. Mr. Engelmann addressed security and pointed out the parking lot would have LED low level lighting for those who run late existing the area and buildings were being wired for future infrastructure. Mr. Engelmann stated an emergency button had not added and Councilmembers supported this addition to the plan. Councilmember Magazine stated the design for the trailhead was impressive and asked if the area would be low maintenance; Mr. Engelmann responded a re -vegetation seed mix would be used. Councilmember Brown asked if power would be available at the completion of Phase I and added he understood neither sewer nor water would be available and Mr. Engelmann answered that power would not be available at that time and agreed with his statement regarding water and sewer. Councilmember Brown questioned if conduit would be placed for future electrical gates and Mr. Engelmann assured him that in the original plan conduit was added had been left in the current plan; Mr. Miller asked Mr. Engelmann to place the electrical gates as an alternative in the proposed bidding documents. z:\council packets\2017\r170216\170216a.docx Last Printed: 2/28/2017 1:34 PM Page 5 of 8 Councilmember Yates and Mr. Mayer discussed the necessary bidder's qualifications; Mr. Mayer reviewed the timeline for the project. Mr. Miller maintained that staff's goal was to spend only the collected Development Fees (in the amount of $1.8M) on this project, which hopefully would leave the $489K in the Town's General Fund for use on other projects. Mayor Kavanagh hoped that everyone involved could adhere to the project's schedule and reported that Council did not meet in July and this project needed a June, 2017 Town Council approval. Mayor Kavanagh asked if Council had any questions for MMPC Chairman Mr. Myers. Mr. Myers expressed that he was thrilled about the anticipated design and completion of the trailhead; he noted that MMPC could provide some input based on the Commissioners' expertise. Mr. Myers asked about the cost of temporary utilities needed until utilities were brought in and the cost of port -a johns and water trucks needed to keep plants watered and expressed that it could take a number of years to complete. AGENDA ITEM #10 - DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING EXTENDING UNDERGROUNDING OF THE EXISTING OVERHEAD 12 KV LINES FARTHER NORTHWARD, REVISING PART OF SALT RIVER PROJECTS' MUNICIPAL AESTHETICS FUND PROJECT (EL PUEBLO AND GRANDE CONVERSION AND 69 KV REPLACEMENT). Mr. Miller explained this project would help the aesthetics in the surrounding areas and introduced Town Engineer Randy Harrel who gave an overview of the project in the staff's report and displayed in a PowerPoint presentation (available on-line and in the office of the Town Clerk). Mr. Harrel discussed the area of Town to be improved and the proposed costs. Mr. Harrel explained that the project was short an estimated $43K and would be paid in the next proposed SRP allocation, which previously had totaled $100K and would allow for no cost to the Town for this project. He added that after this project was funded, it would be a number of years' through SRP's reimbursement program until the Town would be able to fund another project. Councilmember Leger asked what the impact would be on those residents in the area and Mr. Harrel answered that that information would be unknown until SRP created the design. Councilmember Leger what the strategy was to notify residents in that area and inform them of the plan in advance. Mr. Harrel believed that SRP's outreach to residents was very good. Mayor Kavanagh asked for Mr. Harrell's best guess on the how long it would take to complete this project after it begins construction and he responded that it would take about four months to complete. Mayor Kavanagh asked if there were any speaker cards and Town Clerk Bender answered none had been received. With no further discussion or question from the Council, Mayor Kavanagh requested a motion be made. Councilmember Yates MOVED to direct staff to move forward with the expanded SRP MAF project "El Pueblo and Grande Conversion and 69 kV Poe Replacement", subject to full project funding by SRP and Councilmember Brown SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED UNAIMOUSLY (7-0). AGENDA ITEM #11 - DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF RELATING TO ANY ITEM INCLUDED IN THE LEAGUE OF ARIZONA CITIES AND TOWNS WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN OR RELATING TO ANY ACTION PROPOSED OR PENDING BEFORE THE STATE LEGISLATURE. a. HB2213 - Government Property Lease Excise Tax (GPLET) — the request was made to add this bill for further discussion at the February 2, 2017 meeting. z:\council packets\2017\r170216\170216a.docx Last Printed: 2/28/2017 1:34 PM Page 6 of 8 Mr. Miller noted that the League opposed HB2213, as written and Councilmember Yates added this would negate lawsuits due to the municipalities that already had projects on-going and he requested a letter of opposition from Fountain Hills due to the bill's overall economic impact. Mayor Kavanagh suggested a tightening of the definition on slum and blight since the original author of this bill wanted to address blighted areas with some benefits seen. Councilmember Leger supported the Leagues position with a stipulation requesting the new definition of slum and blight. Mayor Kavanagh MOVED to send a letter of opposition from Council and Councilmember Yates SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY (7-0) b. HB2179 —Municipalities, Counties: intergovernmental agreements, requirements Mr. Miller stated that HB2179 would limit Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) to an eight year period and require a majority vote of the Governing Board body of the municipality or County to extend IGAs and he added upon the passing of this bill, all IGA's currently held must be annually reviewed and confirmed. Mr. Miller noted the League opposed this bill since IGAs were a local government issue and not a State issue and commented that the State should not have authority in this action. Town Attorney McGuire added there would be a requirement for all IGA's to come before Council during a public hearing and then ratified, which could create a substantial burden for reaffirming agreements. He reiterated that this was a local issue and having no state-wide purpose. Councilmember Yates MOVED to submit a letter in opposition and Councilmember Magazine SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY (7-0). c. HB2521— TPT reform, contractors Mayor Kavanagh presented HB2521 pooling the TPT by from previously noted 5% and now 1% and placing those funds with the Department of Revenue (DOR) for their department to decided which cities with development and scope of work would receive the funds. She added that the League estimated a lost to the state in the amount of $150M. Mayor Kavanagh announced the bill had unfortunately passed out of committee and mentioned all the issues with the DOR handling TPT, if passed. She had talked with Senator Kavanagh who attempted to lobby on the issue and she acknowledged State Representative Jay Lawrence who attempted to express his concerns and the effect on municipalities but with no avail. Mayor Kavanagh pointed out that the only positive future for this bill would be if the League of Cities and Towns could work with the sponsor of the bill to make changes. Councilmember Yates MOVED to submit a letter in opposition and Councilmember Magazine SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY (7-0). d. League of Cities and Towns — Bulletin #4 No discussion was held. e. League of Cities and Towns — Bulletin #5 No discussion was held.
