He noted that she would be working with the youth and teen programs and participating in some of the senior excursions. He said she had expressed an interest in learning more about the Community Service Program. He invited the Council to contact her with any questions. Ms. Cavallo thanked Mr. Hughes for the introduction and said even though she had only been with the Town for two weeks, she was learning a lot and having a good time. She thanked the Council for welcoming her. AGENDA ITEM #12 — CONSIDERATION OF THE CUT AND FILL WAIVER REQUEST FOR LOT 3, TOWN CENTER 1, A REQUEST TO CUT 13±FEET AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF LOT 3, CASE NUMBER CFW2000-04. Senior Planner Geir Sverdrup said this was a request for a cut and fill waiver from the Pederson Investment Group to develop a Wells Fargo Bank on lot 3 of Town Center 1. He referred to an exhibit on the wall, which showed the exact areas that would be affected by the cut and fill. He noted that the areas being shown in the pink color had cuts ranging from 10-feet to 12-feet. He said the developer worked with the Planning and Zoning Commission over a couple of months, which resulted in the cuts being reduced from 13 feet to about 11.5 feet. He pointed out the areas in green encompassed both lots 3 and 4 and those areas would have between 0 to 10 feet of cuts. He acknowledged that there was a great deal of cutting on site,but he explained that was in part due to the applicant's intent to meet the ADA requirements for pedestrian movement and to also meet engineering standards for driveways in and out of the site. He noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission had spent a couple of meetings on this issue to try to get the project down to an acceptable amount of cut. He stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission was recommending a 12-foot cut, which would give the applicant six inches of flexibility to ensure that the site would work. He said the applicant was proposing two entrances from the Safeway Center into Lot 3. He said when staff expressed concern, the applicant had moved the driveway access closest to Palisades more to the center of the site. He said staff was also very concerned about the second entrance towards the rear of the project. It was staffs opinion that the entrance was too close to the loading dock. He said the only stipulation placed on the project had been the removal of the second driveway access near the loading dock. He pointed out that the applicant was agreeable to that stipulation. He said that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the application with the stipulation of the removal of the second driveway. Councilman Wyman MOVED to approve the cut and fill waiver as presented and Councilman Kavanagh SECONDED the motion. Councilman McNeill asked why the agenda item reflected a different amount of cut from what was being recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. He also wanted to know if the Council was being asked to approve a 13-foot cut or to simply concur with the Planning and Zoning's recommendation with stipulation. Mr. Sverdrup clarified that the original application request had been for a 13-foot cut and fill waiver. He said that by the applicant working with staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission there had been a reduction to 11.5 feet. He reiterated that the actual recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission was for 12-feet, as then the applicant would then have some site development flexibility. Mayor Morgan expressed concern for the public's safety with regard to the project's driveway leading into the loading dock area. She stated she also understood that there was nothing that the Council could do about what she was concerned with. She said she viewed it as a potential safety situation. Vice Mayor Hutcheson agreed with Mayor Morgan. She questioned why more traffic would be invited through an alleyway that already had significant problems. She pointed out that stop signs had been put up in addition to speed Town Council Regular and Executive Session 6/01/00 3 of 8 bumps in an effort to control the traffic in that area. She hoped that in the end the applicant would accomplish what they thought they would by constructing their driveway in this location. She concurred it was a dangerous situation. Mr. Sverdrup stated this project had been reviewed extensively and that the original plan had been found to be untenable. He said that by the applicant working with the Town's traffic engineer, the applicant's traffic engineer, and keeping the Safeway Group in the loop, staff felt this proposed application was the best situation possible. Councilman McNeill agreed that the original plan had been untenable but that there were still potential traffic issues. He agreed with Mr. Sverdrup that the recommended application was the best plan for what there was to work with. Councilwoman Fraverd asked if there would be any traffic monitoring at all. Mr. Sverdrup responded that staff did not have any monitoring capabilities, as this was a private access easement between two private property owners. He acknowledged that staff would keep their eye on the area. He pointed out that the alley entrance from Palisades was of great concern to the Marshals Department because of numerous trucks getting stuck on the raised median. He noted that Marshal Gendler was very familiar with this area. Town Manager Paul Nordin commented that although the Town did not have as much regulatory control on private property, the Town did have regulatory control over Palisades. He proposed staff would look into the possibility of posting a sign for no U-turns on that island. He said in terms of Palisades, staff would monitor that situation to see what could be done. Mayor Morgan asked if a stop sign could be placed by Samuari Sam's restaurant. She observed that the traffic did not slow down or brake when making the left turn out of the parking lot to enter onto Palisades. Mr. Sverdrup said because that lot was private property, the Town could not require a stop sign be installed. He acknowledged that other requests for such signs had been made of the property owners (the Gilligans) and they had complied. Interim Town Engineer Tom Ward said that there had been other situations where private properties were a concern by residents. He said staff had gone to the owners of the land and requested they put up stop signs to make the traffic f flow better and create a safer situation. He said staff could do the same thing at this location. �r Jeff Peterson,project architect and developer of the project He said they were willing to put a stop sign on their access drive for safety purposes. He pointed out that their traffic engineer and the Town's traffic engineer had studied the corner of Palisades and the access drive extensively. He felt they had come up with the best solution for everyone. He said their traffic engineer did not feel it was a severe traffic problem but suggested that they were willing to do whatever was needed to make this project a safe development. He said if the Council wanted to stipulate that a traffic sign would be required there, he was agreeable. The motion CARRIED unanimously. AGENDA ITEM #13 - CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING A CONTRACT TO RICK GIARDINA & ASSOCIATES IN AN AMOUNT OF $70,000.00 TO CREATE A METHODOLOGY STUDY AND ANALYSIS FOR DEVELOPMENT FEES. THE REPORT/STUDY WILL BE THE BASIS FOR CREATING AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING bEVELOPMENT FEES FOR THE TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS. Community Development Director Jeff Valder reviewed that the Council had previously asked staff to prepare a request for proposals from consulting firms of a methodology study and analysis for development fees. He said that in March of this year, staff had received six proposals. He said staff had talked with four of those firms. After the interviews, staff had determined all four firms had experience in preparing these types of studies. He said three of the firms had experience in preparing these studies within the state of Arizona. He noted that staff had past experience with the firm of Rick Giardina and Associates. He acknowledged that the Town had used his firm before and had been pleased with their work. He noted that this firm had successfully completed a number of fee studies in the State of Arizona. He explained that this firm had not been challenged in court to date. He explained that staff felt Giardina & Associates' services would be of more value to the Council because of their proposed timing and communication skills involving complex matters. Town Council Regular and Executive Session 6/01/00 4 of 8 He pointed out that what had impressed staff was the amount of time that they had allowed to spend with the homebuilders and property owners within the Town to explain the fees. He said their firm recognized it would make for a smoother transition and a more successful fee program if they took care of any of those issues upfront. Staff recommended that the Council award the contract to Rick Giardina & Associates in the amount of$70,000. Councilman McNeill MOVED to award the contract to Rick Giardina & Associates in the amount of $70,000 as presented by staff and Councilwoman Ralphe SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman Ralphe stated she had previously campaigned for impact fees because they created a sound "pay as you go"development program. She was happy to have the opportunity to vote for this contract. The motion CARRIED unanimously. AGENDA ITEM #14 - CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 2000-25 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, PROJECT OF 1999, SERIES B (2000), ON BEHALF OF THE TOWN. THESE BONDS ARE FOR THE VOTER APPROVED LIBRARY/MUSEUM PROJECT. Town Manager Paul Nordin introduced the Town's financial consultant Bob Casillas of PHS&G and Town's Bond Counsel Scott Ruby. Mr. Nordin stated that bids had been received this afternoon for the bond issue. Mr. Casillas introduced his partner Bryan Lemburg, who passed out an informational booklet on the sale. Mr. Casillas summarized the sale of the bonds and stated they anticipated closing the sale and depositing monies June 29`s. He explained that the Town's rating was an Aa3, which represented an upgrade from A2. He noted that this was very a significant rate change. He reviewed that when the Town first issued bonds back in 1991, the Moody's Investors Service rated the Town at Baa, which was the minimum investment grade that an issuer of bonds could receive. From 1991 to 1995 when those bonds were refinanced, the Town was upgraded to an A rating from the Moody's Investors Service. He pointed out that in 1999, when the$1.4 million bonds were sold,the Town was again upgraded to an A2. In 2000, with this particular bond issue, the Town was upgraded to a new category Aa2, which L was very significant. He said the Town was moved from the A rating to the Aa rating and jumped two steps. He pointed out that there was an Al rating, which Moody's could have pegged the Town, but instead they moved the Town to Aa3. He congratulated the Town Council and the management of the Town. Mr. Casillas drew the Council's attention to the page where Moody's gave the rational for their rating. He stated it was obviously the strong management of the Town, conservative management strategy, strong fiscal policies of the Town, and very substantial reserves, which had been viewed very favorably by Moody's. He listed the other cities and towns in the valley, which were in the Aa category (Glendale, Chandler, Mesa, Tucson, and Scottsdale). He congratulated the Council and staff on the fine job they had done in managing the fiscal policies of the Town. He reviewed that the maturity of the bonds would be from 2001 — 2014 and that the average life of the bond issue was 8.5 years with the interest rates ranging from 5.1% to 7.1%. He said the redemption feature or the recall feature was listed on the bottom of the page. He pointed out the report included an amortization schedule. He said page three was a recap of the eight bidders. He said the bidder with the interest rate of 5.4% had been the winning bidder. He noted that page four illustrated the bonds that were outstanding at this time and reiterated that page five and six gave the Moody's rational for upgrading the Town's rating. Mr. Casillas briefly reviewed that there was other information contained in the booklet and he asked that the Council to read it at their leisure. Councilwoman Fraverd MOVED to approve Resolution 2000-25 as presented and direct that the bonds be issued. Councilman Kavanagh SECONDED the motion. Councilman Wyman asked for clarification of Resolution 2000-25 on page 7, Section 17, with regard to the qualified tax exemption obligation. He understood it to say that the Town was certifying that during this calendar year there wouldn't be any issuing of obligations by the Town itself. Town Council Regular and Executive Session 6/01/00 5 of 8 Mr. Ruby responded that in order to obtain a bank qualification, the Town would have to reasonably anticipate that the Town would not issue more than $10 million dollars of tax exemption obligation. He noted that would include those issued by the MPC. He explained that when this transaction was put together they had added both this transaction and an anticipated MPC transaction together and the total was still under the$10 million dollars limit. Councilman Wyman asked if that left the Town with a $6.39 million dollar pad. Mr. Ruby agreed. Councilman Wyman stated he had wanted to draw attention to this fact. He explained that although six or seven months was not all that long a period of time and if the Town were able to negotiate a deal with MCO regarding the mountains, there wasn't as much pad as some might think. He also pointed out the Town could wait until the year 2001 to do it. Mr. Ruby said that issue was also discussed by the administration. It had been anticipated that when the whole timeline of negotiations, documentation in addition to the bond issue on top, the minimum time frame would be January or February. Councilman Kavanagh asked how much money the Town saved by jumping two levels higher on the Moody rating scale. Mr. Capsule said that typically the difference between a half grade would be three basis points and could be significant amount money. He estimated it to be approximately $35,000 to $55,000 in savings. Councilman Kavanagh asked if the Town was approaching the ceiling of credit worthiness or was there still room for financial rating improvement in the future. Mr. Casillas replied that there were categories above the Town's current standing. He said there was the Aaa rating, which was held only by a handful of municipalities around the country. He said the trend of the strong financial management, management of the Town, and the ability of the Town to maintain healthy reserves along with the economic activity taking place prompted him to suggest that the trend was certainly there for additional financial rating improvements. He said it was his hope and desire that the trend would continue. He said he felt the Town had put into place strong policies and he hoped that policy would carry the Town forward. Mayor Morgan offered her congratulations to Paul Nordin and his staff. She singled Julie Ghetti out for a job well done. iota, The motion CARRIED unanimously. AGENDA ITEM #15 — CONSIDERATION OF RENEWAL OF THE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT OF TOWN MANAGER PAUL NORDIN WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF INCREASE IN ANNUAL COMPENSATION. Town Attorney Bill Farrell explained that in order to attract and maintain professional management the concept of an employment agreement was used extensively throughout the State of Arizona. He reviewed that about five years ago, there had been a significant piece of litigation revolving around a manager of Pima County and his employment agreement, which had clarified the law to a major degree. As a result of this case, city and town attorneys throughout the state at the first council meeting of a new Council, urge and recommend their ratification of an employment contract for a two-year period, which was termed as "your political life". He explained that in as much as this Council could bind and obligate itself during its political life and not beyond, the contract, if ratified, would go into effect this evening and remain in existence until June of 2002 when the next political life of the Council would begin. He noted he was recommending an eight-percent increase in compensation. He explained that the job of recommending a rate of increase usually fell to the Town Attorney. He said the eight-percent would be effective with the execution of the contract. He acknowledged that it did not prohibit the Council at any point in the future from either having performance evaluations or renegotiating the manager's salary. He said, in fact, the contract recommended that be done at least once annually. He said he had provided the Council with historical documents in their packet materials. He noted that the contract provided those benefits received by other employees with several additional benefits that would hopefully help the Town retain a professional manager. He requested that the Council to look favorably on the employment agreement. Councilman Wyman MOVED to renew the employment contract of Town Manager Paul Nordin with an eight- percent increase as presented and Vice Mayor Hutcheson SECONDED the motion. Town Council Regular and Executive Session 6/01/00 6 of 8 Councilman Wyman said it had been his pleasure and privilege to work with Paul Nordin for two years. He said he had worked with him for 2 '/ years. He pointed out that Mr. Nordin was an individual of great integrity and his professionalism was exhibited not only in his own demeanor but in that of his staff. He said that was no accident. In his judgment, good staff meant there was good management. He said employers competitively pay an individual regardless of their position within the organization for job performance. He emphasized that employees didn't receive more money each year just because they were another year older. He pointed out that the Town was generous by paying in the upper third of municipalities in the range of 10,000 — 50,000 population listed in the survey of salaries. He remarked that the Town paid a 9' % matching retirement and provided the Town Manager with an automobile. He said that although it was well deserved and well earned, he felt this was still a generous package. It was his opinion that the Town did not need to look at reviewing and increasing compensation more than once a year. He did not see anything wrong with a two-year package. He said it was the Council's job to make sure the manager was compensated fairly and that the Town was competitive with other towns. He said the Town's obligation stopped there. Mayor Morgan expressed that the Town had a terrific staff. She said it started at the top and if the people didn't respect the management, they wouldn't have a good staff. Therefore, she felt Mr. Nordin had done an excellent job and he was also keeping the good staff happy. Vice Mayor Hutcheson said she had the opportunity of working with Mr. Nordin on and off for probably six years, beginning first with the Mountain Task Force, then through the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the last two years on the Town Council. She noted that during all that time had they had not always agreed but she had always found Mr. Nordin to be professional, efficient, and an excellent Town and Financial Manager. She pointed out that when the Council went into other communities,they envied Fountain Hills' position. She felt he did a very good job and if the Town wanted to maintain its status and the level of professionalism that not only the Council had come to expect,but also the citizens,the Council must provide adequate increases. She said she was happy to vote for this. Councilman Kavanagh said he had the opportunity to work with Mr. Nordin when he was on the Parks and Recreation Commission and now the Council. He agreed he had the same experience of professionalism and competency when working with Mr. Nordin. He said Mr. Nordin had bent over backwards for him as a new commissioner and he had found Mr. Nordin to be very helpful. He said with regard to the salary figures, he felt the compensation was reasonable. He expressed that he would like to keep Mr. Nordin in Fountain Hills and to have him continue the good work. Councilman McNeill said as a new member of the Council, he was looking forward to working with Mr. Nordin. He said as a candidate and then as councilman-elect, he had always found Mr. Nordin very responsive to anything he needed to know about. He said he found Mr. Nordin very diligent in performing his duties. He pointed out that it had been nineteen months since Mr. Nordin had been provided with a salary increase. He said if averaged over that period of time,the eight-percent was substantially less. He said the increase was well deserved. Councilwoman Ralphe reaffirmed the previous comments made by Councilmembers. She reiterated that Fountain Hills did not want a fine manager like Mr. Nordin to move up to the big cities where his talents would be very much appreciated. She wanted to see him stay in Fountain Hills. Councilwoman Fraverd asked Mr. Nordin to keep up the good work. The motion CARRIED unanimously. Mr. Nordin thanked the Council for their approval of the contract and their comments.
