Present for roll call were the following members of the Town Council: Mayor Linda Kavanagh, Vice Mayor Alan Magazine, Councilmember Cecil Yates, Councilmember Dennis Brown, and Councilmember Art Tolis. Town Manager Grady E. Miller, Interim Town Attorney Mitesh Patel, Dickinson Wright Law Firm and Town Clerk Bevelyn Bender were also present. Councilmember Nick DePorter attended via telephone conference call. Councilmember Henry Leger was absent. Mayor Kavanagh addressed the recent traffic accident at Palisades and Saguaro Boulevards and requested prayers for all those involved and their families. Mayor Kavanagh expressed the Town's appreciation to the Fountain Hills' emergency staff and responders. She thanked Deacon Smith from the Church of the Ascension for accepting her invitation to offer a prayer. CONSIDERATION OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS WITH DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING PROPOSED OR CHANGES TO TOWN FEES. Town Manager Grady Miller gave opening remarks on the current fiscal year 2017-18 and proposed Town's Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) for fiscal year 2018-19 along with a review of the proposed Town fee changes. Mr. Miller explained that currently under State Law the budget process must be started earlier than in past years due to the required notice be given to the public. Mr. Miller introduced Public Works Director Justin Weldy, who presented a summary of the CIP both current and future. Mr. Miller stated that Council could also give staff direction, if necessary. Mr. Weldy described the CIP projects offering to address Council's questions at any time during his overview. Mr. Weldy utilized a PowerPoint presentation (available on-line or in the office of the Town Clerk). Councilmember Magazine asked if the miscellaneous drainage total of $50K was in addition to the work budgeted and Mr. Weldy replied no, the additional funds would be used for projects that unexpectedly needed to be addressed during the current fiscal year and noted staff expected to only spend $25K this year for necessary work on Shea Boulevard to eliminate vegetation in the drainage canal along Panorama Wash. Councilmember Magazine asked what the impact would be if these items were not completed this year. Mr. Weldy replied this item involved a section of the wash between the Town of Fountain Hills and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation to address the water runoff, which has been a problem for years. Mr. Weldy pointed out that staff had addressed some of the issue previously with the restarting of the well located in this area that allows the water to be pushed back into Fountain Park. Mr. Miller added that Council had met with the Fort McDowell Tribal Council in a joint session where this issue was brought up by Tribal members. Mr. Weldy continued with the review of the status of the 2017-18 CIP as follows: Fire Station #2 — the project was currently under construction. Installation of the Town Hall Chill Station - had been completed. Highway Improvement Program - stop sign relocation had been deferred until FY2018-19, and was grant funded. z:\council packets\2018\rl8050l\l803l3m.docx Page 1 of 8 Civic Center Bus Stop Improvements - was initiated and in final design stage for civil work including minor parking lot work with construction of a shelter with an anticipated completion date by the end of the current fiscal year and paid for with grant funds. Adero Canyon Trailhead — was initiated with an expected completion date in August or September 2018. Fountainside Courtyard Area Improvements - was deferred by Council noting that staff would present the status at a later date. Councilmember Magazine asked when Council deferred this project. Mr. Miller replied that he had made the decision since the design costs were found to be extremely high. Mr. Miller said staff would regroup and attempt to re -turf the area allowing Council to proceed in another direction for this project. Mr. Miller added that the funds for this project were still held in the CIP budget, but the project would not be addressed this fiscal year. Video Surveillance Cameras proiect - was completed with additional cameras installed around Golden Eagle Park, Fountain Park and Four Peaks Park to address vandalism. Unpaved Alley Paving Phase IV - was deferred. Fountain Hills Boulevard Widening (from Shea Boulevard to Segundo Drive) - had been deferred. Fountain Hills Shoulder Paving proiect - was initiated with biding in April 2018 and construction work beginning after bid acceptance. Councilmember Magazine asked when deferred items would be reconsidered and Mr. Weldy replied during the 2018-19 fiscal year budget process. Mayor Kavanagh added deferral of these projects this year did not mean the Town must complete the projects next fiscal year. Wayfinding Sign Pro*ect - was currently in the design stage with staff presenting a proposal to Council at a later date. Mr. Weldy informed Council the total cost for the CIF's in fiscal year was $8,167,168.00. Vehicle Replacement Fund - replacement was recommended for two light duty trucks and for the purchase of a Fire Department ladder truck with the two retired light duty trucks moved to the Community Services and Parks Department. Mayor Kavanagh asked what the cost of the light duty trucks were and Mr. Weldy replied approximately $40K with additional cost to install tool boxes and lights. Councilmember Magazine inquired why the trucks were being replaced. Mr. Weldy explained the trucks met the Town's criteria for replacement. Councilmember Magazine asked if the trucks, with the exception of the Fire Department's ladder truck, vehicles could be used longer and the Town could perform the needed repairs instead of a total replacement. He requested staff consider options to extend the trucks service. Mr. Miller explained the useful life of the Town's vehicles had been considered 10 -years and previous experiences had proven that repair costs were too extensive and affected the Operating Budget. Mr. Miller said that the Vehicle Replacement Fund could only be used for vehicle replacement and not vehicle maintenance, which would also be hard to determine up -front. Mr. Miller stated this fund was adequate to replace two trucks without additional funding requested. Councilmember Magazine asked if purchasing used vehicles could be considered instead of new vehicles and Mr. Miller replied the Town received a fleet discount on new vehicles. Mr. Weldy added new vehicles carried a five to seven year warranty along with cost savings found using the City of Mesa's contract and the State contract. Councilmember Yates asked how often did the Town purchase vehicles and did the Town finance the vehicles and Mr. Weldy replied on average two vehicles were replaced each year under the 10 -year requirement with no financing (paid for outright). Mr. Miller added that leasing vehicles had been considered in the past, but it was found to cost more than purchasing. Councilmember Magazine asked staff to research and consider purchasing extended warranties on vehicles and Mr. Miller stated staff could look into it. Mr. Weldy stated the CIP in fiscal year 2017-18 totaled $8,974,372.00, less projects initiated, but not yet completed totaled $6,404,405, and that the available balance was $2,569,967. z:\council packets\2018\rl8050l\l803l3m.docx Page 2 of 8 Councilmember Yates pointed out that the shoulder Paving Project involved a $600K grant with the Town's investment of $284K. Mr. Weldy presented the proposed FY2018-19 Capital Improvement Projects as follows: Fire Station #2 Relocation — the estimated cost was $2,312,165.00 with associated costs broken down along with their funding sources provided. He noted the EPCOR Water Company would cover the cost of building the shared entrance driveway and relocation of the waterlines and used by EPCOR and Fire Station #2; the Town was responsible for future maintenance of the driveway. Adero Canyon Trailhead Project - funding sources were presented. Unpaved Alley Paving project Phase IV with three alleyways already completed would address Town Resolution 2007-45; bring Fountain Hill's alleys into PM emissions compliance and minimize dust. Councilmember Magazine asked if the alley had been previously paved and Mr. Weldy replied the alley had not and Councilmember Magazine requested more information about emission requirements. Mr. Miller replied the "Federal Air Quality Commission" was involved and the Town under their regulations due to Fountain Hills being a non -attainment area and all municipalities had to agree to address air quality. Mr. Miller pointed out this project had been deferred many times and that he understood that if Council decided to defer once again, but he stressed that at some point the Town needed to complete this project due to possible increase in costs of construction and because if the Town did not fulfill this commitment with MAG, inaction on the Town's part could affect future projects and potential funding. Vice Mayor Brown asked what the alley was currently used for and Mr. Weldy replied it was the primary access for a few businesses' dumpsters. Mr. Weldy added the alley towards Panorama Drive had already been completed and it was the second access for the condos. Vice Mayor Brown pointed out that this alley was also another fire access to the homes. Mr. Miller asked if this would be the last unpaved alley in Fountain Hills. Mr. Weldy replied Phase V must be completed and was located on the north/east corner of Town off of Fountain Hills Boulevard near the Salt River Project substation with construction costs currently unknown. Councilmember Magazine asked why Phase IV was more important than Phase V. Mr. Weldy replied Phase IV had a heavier traffic flow and this phase was selected to be completed by a prior Council. Mr. Miller suggested Phase IV be completed so the Town could report compliance completed on Phase IV. Councilmember Magazine asked how MAG would know if the alleyway was not completed and Mr. Miller replied that the Town was required to file a report annually with MAG on the status of the agreed upon projects. Councilmember Magazine asked if the Town could complete half of Phase IV and move the completion to the next fiscal year. Mr. Miller replied that going ahead with the proposed project would allow for this project to be completed, but he agreed to provide further information on partial completion of this project before Council's budget meetings. Councilmember Yates stressed partial completion would be costly due to the mobilization return cost of 30% to 40% along with many other variables. He suggested Council move forward on Phase IV, as proposed. Mayor Kavanagh stated the Town had made a commitment to MAG to complete these alleyway projects to fulfill the PM emissions Federal requirements. Councilmember Magazine suggested Council defer certain projects and place those funds in the Pavement Management Program to help address the Town's roads. Councilmember Magazine stressed he was not opposed to projects that involved health and safety or if the Town lost grant funding; however, he would prefer to wait until after the proposed Primary Property Tax vote in May 2018. Councilmember Yates ask if any of these projects held designated funds and if not could the funds be transferred into the Pavement Management Program and Mr. Miller replied these projects were funded out of the CIP budget, so the Phase IV project funds allocated to this project could be used for roads within the CII' budget. Mr. Weldy requested Council consider that the Phase IV alley was prone to illegal dumping of various items that staff had to clean-up often and completion of this project would hopefully help to deter additional dumping. Mayor Kavanagh stated it was necessary to move forward with Phase IV completion, if only for the reason the project had been deferred many times. Vice Mayor Brown agreed. Councilmember Magazine said his reaction at this time was to be against some of the proposed projects until he received more information. z:\council packets\2018\rl8050l\l803l3m.docx Page 3 of 8 Wayfinding Sign proiect - was scheduled to be completed in fiscal year 2018-19. Councilmember Magazine acknowledged Council voted on a design, but expressed he was now against this project at this time and mentioned that residents were negatively pointing out Council's approval of $150K for new Town signage as a reason for residents to be against the Primary Property Tax. Councilmember Magazine said he hoped Council would defer this project until after the tax vote in May. Councilmember Yates said he viewed signage as infrastructure and it was extremely important for those entering Fountain Hills. Councilmember Magazine said he did not feel new signage was a necessity. Mayor Kavanagh remarked that the Chamber had previously spoken to her and expressed people had trouble navigating around Town due to lack of signage. Councilmember DePorter agreed with Councilmember Magazine and expressed that the new signage would be nice, but was not vital to the health and safety of residents. He said he too found negative comments made towards this project on social media. Civic Center Improvements - addressed the concrete buckling and sharp edges in and around Centennial Circle and expressed concern for public safety. Mayor Kavanagh asked if other items in the area would be addressed within these improvements and Mr. Weldy explained that other minor changes involved tree root removal that had caused the safety issues. Vice Mayor Brown suggested the installation of pavers for allowing easy replacement when necessary. Mr. Miller agreed and mentioned pavers would eliminate extensive repairs. Vice Mayor Brown also suggested pavers would provide a cost effective replacement in areas around the fountain walkway and eliminate trip hazards. Shea Boulevard Widening Design (from Palisades Boulevard to Technology Drive ) — was for the concept design with partial funding from a grant to determine the layout of the arterial roadway, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and right-of-way, which would include drainage requirements involving the four lanes of traffic. Councilmember Magazine asked how long the grant was valid. Town Engineer Randy Harrel replied until 2025 - for design and construction. Councilmember Magazine asked how long would construction take; Mr. Harrel replied the construction time -line would depend on how the project was broken into phases. Mr. Miller stated his recommendation would be to complete the design portion due to the possible loss of the construction grant funding, if not completed by 2025. Mr. Harrel added that after the concept report was received by staff, it may be determined that infill was needed that could be provided by local developers for this project. Mr. Harrel added his concern that MAG would be requesting voters to extend their one-half cent sales tax and if not approved could place the Town in a position of not having the funds to complete the project. Mr. Miller indicated that MAG's Prop 400 was planned to be addressed in 2020. Town Hall Improvement — described as remodeling of the room on the first floor of Town Hall located behind the dais. Mr. Miller stated that the cost initially presented to Council was inflated and mentioned after meeting with Vice Mayor Brown, he believed completion could be done for under $116K. Mr. Miller added that staff was attempting to find space for Mr. Cooper's proposed Economic Development Specialist and possibly for a Communications Director. Councilmember Magazine believed this project was not a necessity at this time and Mayor Kavanagh pointed out this project was a placeholder in the budget for the future. Mr. Miller pointed out that Council could make a change and move this project out. Councilmember Yates MOVED to defer the Town Hall Improvement project (F4031) indefinitely and Councilmember Magazine SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY (7-0). Four Peaks Park Playground Proiect - Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin explained that the park would take multiple years to rehabilitate to address issues (i.e. upgrade equipment, ADA accessibility and unsightly issues in the park) and requested an initial $100K. Ms. Goodwin noted that after the Four Peaks Elementary school closed the Town became responsible to make this area more accessible to the community. Mr. Miller further explained the need for accessibility to allow for easier access to enter the park and closer to the playground, with parking next to Calaveras and adjacent to the Boys and Girls Club. Mr. Miller pointed out that the fencing was rusted and unsightly around the basketball court. Ms. Goodwin pointed out that the new access would also deter vandalism since the park was remotely located. Councilmember DePorter stated support for staff's request and suggested installation of the cut through for access and ADA issues before upgrading the playground equipment. z:\council packets\2018\rl8050l\l803l3m.docx Page 4 of 8 Mayor Kavanagh asked if the Boys and Girls Club had plans for upgrading their property and Ms. Goodwin stated she was not aware of any plans. Mayor Kavanagh asked about the volleyball court installation due to negative feedback from neighbors regarding the fence and had requested its removal and Ms. Goodwin replied the court already existed and was playable. Mayor Kavanagh pointed out the neighbors in the area had been very patient and she would like to see this project move forward since the park was highly used and needed to be upgraded to the same level as the other Town parks. Mr. Miller suggested that since Council approved deferring the Town Hall Project, funding for the Town Hall Project could be moved into this park project. Ms. Goodwin stated that she and other staff members agreed the ADA accessibility must be addressed noting that staff also wanted to upgrade the basketball courts since they were decade's old and showed large cracks and holes. Councilmember Magazine stated his support for the phasing this project over a five-year period and for the Town to invest $500K for upgrades to this park. Mr. Miller pointed out that the lighting in the park also needed to also be changed out. Vice Mayor Brown agreed the park required upgrades and said he would like to see a well thought out plan so Council could consider appropriating the necessary funds to bring the park up to standards. Ms. Goodwin agreed to provide an updated master plan. Councilmember Yates asked what the initial $100K would be used for; Ms. Goodwin replied the funds would be used to create a cut through open access from the parking lot, with walk -ways to the park and address ADA accommodation along with issues at the ball field. Mr. Miller and Ms. Goodwin further described upgrades necessary for the Four Peaks Park that should be addressed over the next five -years or when funding was available. Mayor Kavanagh asked what the next steps would be to allocate additional funding and Mr. Miller replied Council would receive a plan at their April 2018 budget meeting that would allow Council to make a decision. Mayor Kavanagh suggested that staff could contact Fountain Hills' service organizations and Republic Services and request their help with possible support. Councilmember Tolis asked if the Boys and Girls Club used the park and Ms. Goodwin replied they often did, but it was the neighborhood children who mostly used the park. Councilmember Tolis pointed out the Town only owned a small portion of this area and asked if it had been considered for the Town to abandon their portion of this park and allow the Boys and Girls Club to take ownership and maintain of the area. Mr. Miller replied there were a lot of end users. Councilmember Tolis explained he was interested in the area between the school and the Boys and Girls Club that involved limited parking along with a lot of other issues. He questioned the Town's investment of $500K. Councilmember Tolis suggested partnering with the Boys and Girls Club as a long term solution and the Town should focus funding on the sports fields used by many organizations in Fountain Hills. Councilmember Magazine pointed out he probably would support the additional funding being transferred from the Town Hall project into the Four Peak Park project; however, he had a hard time deciding on a project in isolation. Mayor Kavanagh stated she did not want to delay a decision. Councilmember DePorter agreed with Mayor Kavanagh and liked Vice Mayor Brown's approach of a five-year plan due to the large number of children in the neighborhood and stressed it would be in Fountain Hills' best interest. Video Surveillance Camera - was a multiple year project with additional one-year costs at Golden Eagle Park and Fountain Park and the added Four Peaks Park, staff was requesting an additional $50K. Fountain Hills Boulevard Widening - was for a design concept report that covered from Segundo Drive down to Pinto Drive and included shoulder paving and drainage improvements in this area. Sidewalk Infill urogram — would address the area along La Montana Drive and that staff had worked with the contractor who agreed to perform the concrete work for $4.00 per square foot and that it included the curb opening ramp and scupper to allow drainage and finish walking paths for residents for a total cost of $11K with the Town piggybacking onto the City of Chandler's contract. Mr. Weldy explained by using the City of Chandler contract, the cost per square foot was lower than projected. Mr. Weldy stated at this cost staff could address numerous other locations where the sidewalks immediately stopped for no reason. Councilmember Yates acknowledged that at the price quoted, staff could accomplish many more sidewalk projects. Councilmember Magazine questioned if the project was necessary and Mr. Weldy replied there were areas where pedestrians were required to walk out into the street due to the lack of continued sidewalk, with limited lighting, involving a very active community raised the question of safety in some locations. Councilmember Magazine requested a "safety z:\council packets\2018\rl805Ol\l8O3l3m.docx Page 5 of 8 issue only" analysis to see what locations were needed and Mr. Weldy replied staff already had a 20 -year plan and map that showed the locations where there were no continuous sidewalks and assured he would provide the safety detail information requested. Mr. Miller agreed and mentioned that wheelchairs and other means of transportation used these walkways where there were safety issues and Councilmember Yates asked what the time frame was on the Town's piggybacked contract with the City of Chandler and Mr. Weldy replied that the contract was recently entered into for an additional four -years. Civic Center Improvement Drainage project - involved drainage of stagnant water in the area of the Civic Center and would allow drainage water to perk in -ground. Mr. Weldy indicated that this project would be completed in-house for less cost and Mr. Miller acknowledged the project had previously been placed in the budget for $250K and complimented Mr. Weldy for his cost savings on this project. Councilmember Magazine asked Mr. Weldy how he determined construction project costs. Mr. Weldy replied that all costs presented were estimated using his and other staff members' knowledge and with assistance from professionals in that particular field for a general idea until projects were bid for hard costs. Councilmember Magazine asked Mr. Miller if the Town was over or under budget on CIP projects. Mr. Miller reported with the current exception of the Adero Canyon Trailhead and Fire Station #2, the Town's CIP budget balanced at the end of the fiscal year, with the assistance from engineering estimates and staff researching costs. Miscellaneous Drainage Improvements —requested an additional $50K next year to cover minor projects found necessary to address. Golden Eagle Concrete Replacement - addressed the area around the ball fields that showed heaving and settling of the concrete and causing trip hazards. Mr. Weldy added staff felt this project was a priority since for many years' staff had patched and grinded the concrete to address the issues along with drainage improvements made by staff and paid out of the Community Services budget to mitigate some of the issues in the future. Mr. Miller agreed and was concerned due to risk management. Highway Safety Improvements program — would replace smaller and less reflective stop signs on the Town's arterial streets and was funded 100% by grant money. Mr. Weldy requested Council's permission to move forward due to safety concerns. Mayor Kavanagh questioned if these signs would help vehicles to stop and Mr. Weldy replied these signs would make improvements in this area with larger and more reflective signs. Avenue of the Fountains/La Montana Intersection Improvements was previously presented to Council last fall and approved, noting design was in progress. Mr. Weldy discussed the permanent changes proposed in front of the post office and the intersection at Avenue of the Fountains and La Montana Drive. Mr. Weldy said he would follow the direction given staff for temporary signage and stripping using #9 dagmiers until the Town examined the success of this plan and directed staff to make the changes permanent. Mayor Kavanagh said she liked this plan. Mr. Weldy announced the projects proposed totaled $878,002 for fiscal year 2018-19 and included a carried forward balance. Councilmember Magazine asked what the Town's balance would be one-year later and Finance Director Rudolphy replied that number would depend on what Council wanted to spend, but the amount was not projected to grow much over $200K. Mr. Miller added the largest generator would be the Town's construction sales tax. Mr. Weldy presented a slide listing the cost of FY2019-20, FY2021-22 and FY2022-23 CIP; Mr. Miller expressed he wanted to focus on next year's projects only. Mayor Kavanagh asked Ms. Goodwin if grants were anticipated and Director Goodwin responded that was correct and mentioned that the Sports Authority Grant was available every other year and Fountain Hills would be submitting an application for consideration. z:\council packets\2018\rl805Ol\l8O3l3m.docx Page 6 of 8 Councilmember Magazine asked how staff determined CIP costs shown in the future years and Mr. Weldy replied those numbers were listed in past CIF's and he moved the numbers forward with the guidance from Council and the Town Manager. He pointed out the CIP projects could individually be moved out by Council. Mr. Miller added the second and third year CIP was unfunded. Mr. Miller stated the proposed Fire Station #3 would be addressed when the State Trust Land developed. Councilmember Tolis asked what the Town's plan was for the retired Fire Station property on Saguaro Boulevard. Mr. Miller replied that a previous Council indicated they wanted to sell the property and noted in the Town's Park Master Plan showed a park on this property, but the Town currently did not have the money for a park. Mr. Miller pointed out that in the near future the Council could look at selling, with a possibility of coordinating with Maricopa County who uses the adjoining property for their Maricopa County Posse activities to sell both properties at the same time so to benefit both the Town and Maricopa County to finish the area. Mr. Miller stated the Fire Station location was zoned residential and the Maricopa County property was zoned multi- family. Mr. Miller also pointed out this was a Council decision. Mr. Weldy concluded the presentation and stated he was available for questions. Councilmember Tolis asked staff to consider a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club for upgrading the Four Peaks Park and also suggested speaking with the Plaza Water Front to assist in finishing the their area to help grow their businesses. Mayor Kavanagh agreed with researching a partnership for the park and encouraged staff to reach out to other community organizations for assistance. Mr. Miller said staff would follow-up these suggestions. Councilmember Yates offered to assist Mr. Weldy in applying for a "Tiger Grant". Councilmember Yates stated he had investigated this grant and in his opinion, the Town qualified. Mr. Miller added that during a meeting he attended last fall he had found out the "Tiger Grant" at that time had left over funds, but the grant required projects that were shovel ready in order to be eligible. Mr. Miller stated that Mr. Harrel would be the Town's point person with Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) and that he would request Mr. Harrel follow-up. Mr. Miller asked Mr. Rudolphy to address the Town's fees changes. Mr. Rudolphy presented a PowerPoint slide that listed the fees staff recommended be increased. He pointed out Development Services requested increases to cover cost of staff time, Community Services requested an increase for the Town's food and event vendors that would cover their time during Town events, and GIS Mapping asked to include the cost of an 8-1/2" x11" copy. Mr. Rudolphy also reminded Council that during the Council's Retreat he had suggested returning the dog licensing back to Maricopa County. Councilmember Magazine asked if a public record fee was included and Mr. Rudolphy pointed out that the Town already had a fee and Town Clerk Bender explained the charge was for copies per page only and no fee was charged if the information was sent electronically. Interim Town Attorney Mitesh Patel explained that it was in the Arizona State Statue that municipalities' could only charge a reasonable reproduction cost. Mayor Kavanagh also pointed out this issue had been addressed with the League of Cities and Towns and State Legislature with no success. Mr. Miller stated staff was requesting to remove the Fire Inspection fee and Mr. Rudolphy explained the Council had indicated that the Town would not bill for this fee due to the amount of staff time involved, but confirmed that fire inspections would continue. Mayor Kavanagh asked for speaker cards and Ms. Bender stated none had been received. AGENDA ITEM #2 — ADJOURNMENT Mayor Kavanagh asked for a motion to adjourn. Councilmember Yates made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting and Vice Mayor Brown SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY (7-0), by those present.
