Item 3 Ordinance 2016-004, Amending Title 6, Chapter 118, Taxicabs Council Member Gray moved that Ordinance 2016-004, amending Chapter §118, Sections 118.01, 118.02, 118.03, 118.04, 118.05, 118.06, 118.07, 118.08, 118.09, 118.10, 118.11, 118.12 of the City Code of Ordinance, be approved. Council Member Huisking seconded the motion. Ms. Adams stated that Chapter 118 of the City Code of Ordinances relates to the licensing of taxicabs in the City. The ordinance before Council is a housekeeping item as the State Legislature passed law that went into effect June 30th that requires all vehicles for hire, livery and taxi companies to register and be certified by ADOT in order to do their business in Arizona. It was found that City requirements were repetitious of what it was requiring the companies to provide as proof of insurance, vehicle maintenance, driver certifications and etc. Due to the fact that the State has much better control for oversight of these businesses, it was determined that it was best that the City eliminate its regulations and request that the companies provide proof that they are meeting the State regulations, which is the law. Ms. Adams added that she met with the City Attorney and rather than taking any actions for any companies that are currently licensed in the City, staff will wait until 2017. If they have failed to register with ADOT they will not be allowed to renew until they do; but for 2016, the City will take no action towards the companies. Council Member Huisking asked about providing a grace period and noted that this is a good solution. Ms. Adams stated that essentially, if they are not currently registered with ADOT, they are in violation of State Law; but she has not heard that they are aggressively pursuing these companies. There are probably a lot of companies in the State that are working on the process because it is somewhat involved. They do have to provide a lot of documentation; but this gives them time to get caught up with ADOT through the end of the year. Council Member Mount stated that he appreciates the City stepping out of the way for this to be taken care of and asked if their business license itself that shows how the TPT will be collected still hangs with the City so that if they are operating in the City, it’s the City’s revenue and not the State’s. Ms. Adams stated that a taxicab is a service and they do not require transaction privilege taxes for service businesses. They would have a business license that is a City business license; but they also will have identification that identifies that their vehicles have been approved by ADOT. They will be listed on ADOT’s website as having met the criteria and that they are in good standing so that customers/consumers can actually check to see if the cab company that they are using is registered. Council Member Calhoun asked if taxi and cab include all other types of vehicles that are transporting people from one place to another. Ms. Adams stated that the way the Statute was read is that this is for any vehicle for hire so it will extend to Uber when it comes down, limousines, shuttles, taxicabs and anything that is a vehicle for hire. Council Member Calhoun asked if the State is more restrictive than the City licensing or vice versa. Ms. Adams stated that essentially no, they are a little more comprehensive in the documentation. State Statute requirements relate to insurance and vehicle maintenance and they have more authority to actually collect what they need so that the customer is safe and the vehicles are properly set up. Council Member Calhoun asked who checks to see that they are meeting all of the requirements. Ms. Adams stated that they have to submit documentation to ADOT every three years or when they get new vehicles. The City will require that when they renew every year that they provide proof that they are in good standing with ADOT.

Mayor Mueller added that should a taxi company or livery be involved in an accident, the police officer would check and if found to be in violation, they would cite them under the State Statute rather than City Code and this is the difference. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote, 6/0. New Business Item 4 Ordinance 2016-005, Fiscal Year 2016/2017 Property Tax Levy Council Member Mount moved that Ordinance 2016-005, Fiscal Year 2016/2017 Property Tax Levy, be approved. Council Member Gray seconded the motion. Mr. Felix stated that this is officially the last step in the fiscal year 2017 budget process. All required disclosures have been published in the paper for the fiscal year. The Tentative and Final Budgets have been approved. This will set the property tax at .1136 per $100 of assessed valuation, which is the same amount since fiscal year 2013. The actual dollar amount collected will be slightly less than it was last fiscal year and that is due to declining valuations. Of the property tax bill that the property owner receives for a $100,000 home, $11.36 will go towards the City and the remainder will go to the State, County, School District and etc. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote, 6/0. Item 5 Resolution 2016-058, Agreement with the Arizona Power Authority for an allocation of Hoover Dam power Council Member Huisking moved that Resolution 2016-058, approving the form and authorizing the execution of a power sales contract between the Arizona Power Authority and the City, be approved. Council Member Gray seconded the motion. Ms. Jacobs stated that several years ago Congress directed that when current allocations of Hoover power were redistributed that a certain percentage needed to be made available to entities that previously never had Hoover power. The City is an eligible entity and along with several other local governments in the State of Arizona. The City was successful in receiving an allocation for 204 kilowatts of electric usage. The benefit of the particular agreement is that it is a 50-year term and it is a fraction of the cost of the power that the City will typically get from Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Company (SSVEC), which is also a new recipient of Hoover power this year. Per the direction of the Arizona Power Authority, the City has negotiated a bill credit agreement for the power. The City pays four and a half cents and SSVEC will provide a bill credit for any difference. For the first few years of the 50-year term the maximum that the City could lose is about $3,200. The Arizona Power Authority is currently working with communities that have less advantageous bill credit agreements to allow other entities to take it for the City. The City would not be responsible; but it is anticipated that in the future the City would net about $8,000 to $10,000 per year. Over the life of the agreement a lot of things could change and it could be a very valuable commodity to the City. The approval by Council is of the actual agreement and it is required because the Arizona Power Authority is another governmental agency. This will be the final step in the process and the documentation would be submitted by the September 14th deadline with the power agreement going into effect on October 1, 2017.

Page 7: Sierra Vista City Councildocserve.sierravistaaz.gov/Home/City Council/City Council Meeting... · City Manager’s Report: Mr. Potucek made the following announcements: - Regular City

The motion was approved by a unanimous vote, 6/0. Item 6 Ordinance 2016-006, Annexing Fry at N. 5th Street Council Member Calhoun moved that Ordinance 2016-006, annexing to the City certain real property situated in the Southeast Quarter of Section 34, Township 21 South, Range 20 East, of the Gila and Salt River Base and Meridian, Cochise County, Arizona, described in Exhibit A, be approved. Council Member Huisking seconded the motion. Ms. Moore stated that this is the final step to complete the annexation of eight properties in the Fry Town site area. Three of the properties are off of Fry Boulevard and five properties are off North 5th Street. A majority of the property are zoned General Business by the County and will come over to the City as General Commercial. There is one property that is residential and it will come over to the City as Manufactured Home Residential. Per State law for an annexation to be successful, 51 percent of the consent of the owners has to be collected. The City has done that and if the Ordinance is approved by Council, there will be a 30-day waiting period before the annexation goes into effect. A welcome packet will be sent to the property owners to let them know what services are now available to them from the City. Council Member Mount asked for the number of total property owners in the area and how many of them own the 51 percent. Ms. Moore stated that there are five property owners and three have more than the 51 percent. Council Member Mount once again asked as he did during the work session, because it tends to get asked or brought up as a comment, if staff made promises that the City would go in and specifically do something to help them out in exchange for all of this. Ms. Moore stated that no, there are no agreements. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote, 6/0. Item 7 Resolution 2016-059, Accepting a Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration for the Reconstruction of Taxiways G and J Council Member Ash moved that Resolution 2016-059, authorizing the City to accept the grant offer from the Federal Aviation Administration for the reconstruction of Taxiways G and J, be approved. Council Member Huisking seconded the motion. Ms. Flissar stated that the item is to accept a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration for the reconstruction of Taxiways G and J at the Sierra Vista Municipal Airport. The work is necessary in order to accommodate large and heavy aircraft on the City’s side of the airfield. The strength of Taxiways G and J is currently deficient as heavy aircrafts must taxi across the main runway and use Taxiway P on the Fort’s side creating a safety issue. The types of aircraft that are currently not able to taxi on the City’s side include large fire fighting aircraft that are housed at the Sierra Vista Municipal Airport during fire season as well as other large delivery aircraft. Over 90 percent of the $2 Million cost for this project will be funded through the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program. It will also contribute less than five percent of the project cost leaving the City’s share at less than five percent for about $87,000. A portion of the City’s share is expected to be recouped through in-kind contributions. Upon Council Member Calhoun’s request, Ms. Flissar stated that the primary benefit to the community is the safety benefit of not having the aircrafts taxi across the main runway. There is also the additional benefit of being able to accommodate larger aircraft on the City’s side of the airfield and the implications of that moving forward.

Page 8: Sierra Vista City Councildocserve.sierravistaaz.gov/Home/City Council/City Council Meeting... · City Manager’s Report: Mr. Potucek made the following announcements: - Regular City

Council Member Mount asked if this helps to clean up some of the concerns that were mentioned at the Airport Commission Meeting, i.e., lose asphalt and etc. Ms. Flissar stated that Taxiway G and J is in worse shape than some of the other areas at the airport and certainly this does help clean up, Foreign Object Debris (FOD) to some extent. The primary concern mentioned at the Airport Commission Meeting is in between the hangars and this won’t touch that. This issue will have to be addressed in another way. Council Member Calhoun noted that this was part of the plan. Mayor Mueller stated that there is a Five Year Plan that has been approved by FAA. There are a number of projects that are prioritized in that Plan and these are two of the higher priority projects. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote, 6/0. Item 8 Resolution 2016-060, Official Intent to be reimbursed for Certain Capital expenditures Council Member Gray moved that Resolution 2016-060, Official Intent to be reimbursed for Certain Capital expenditures, be approved. Council Member Calhoun seconded the motion. Mr. Felix stated that this is the City’s annual equipment financing that indicates the City’s reasonable intent to be reimbursed for expenditures made during the fiscal year. In order to save money, the Department waits until items come in to get an exact price. At the end of the fiscal year they are bundled up and put out to bid for financing. The advantage is that the City finances the exact cost of merchandise and does not pay any interest on the note proceeds sitting in a trust account before actually getting the merchandise. The IRS requires the City to pass this resolution showing the City’s intent to reimburse it if it is more than 30 days after the City purchases the equipment. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote, 6/0. Item 9 Resolution 2016-061, Intergovernmental Agreement with Cochise County to Share Costs of Legal Representation for Gila River Water Adjudication Council Member Mount moved that Resolution 2016-061, authorizing the City to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Cochise County for the purpose of funding the attorney for the Gila Water Adjudication, be approved. Council Member Calhoun seconded the motion. Mr. Williams stated that the City has retained an attorney for a number of years, Williams Sullivan out of Phoenix, to represent the City’s interest with regard to the Gila River Water Rights Adjudication, which has been decades in coming. Recently Cochise County expressed an interest in participating with the City in pursuing their collective rights and interests with regard to the San Pedro and requested that they be allowed to contribute to some of the costs of Mr. Sullivan’s services. This intergovernmental agreement would allow Cochise County to expend the sum of $5,000 towards Mr. Sullivan’s fees and to participate in meetings along with updates and other things with regard to the water adjudication. There is no cost to the City beyond what is already being paid to Mr. Sullivan for his services in approving the resolution. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote, 6/0. Item 10 Resolution 2016-062, Intergovernmental Agreement with Cochise County for Election Supplies and Services Council Member Huisking moved that Resolution 2016-062, Intergovernmental Agreement with Cochise County for Election Supplies and Services, be approved. Council Member Calhoun seconded the motion. Ms. Adams stated that this is an intergovernmental agreement between the City and Cochise

Page 9: Sierra Vista City Councildocserve.sierravistaaz.gov/Home/City Council/City Council Meeting... · City Manager’s Report: Mr. Potucek made the following announcements: - Regular City

County for the Election Department to provide services for the City’s elections, the Primary and if necessary, the General. It is an update of the existing agreement that expired after the last election. The actual costs for the election have not changed. It is updated to reflect the use of the Vote Centers and some of the different practices that were put in place because they are not renting properties any longer and it is just more reflective of today’s actual practice. Ms. Adams added that she did clarify with the County that the City is not going to be billed for the re-mailing of the ballots. If approved, she will forward the agreement back to the County and they will proceed with the City’s election. Council Member Mount asked if the City is still on the hook if there are any subsequent faults with the ballots or any issues that the City cannot control and would the County be held accountable for those mistakes. Ms. Adams stated that the City has not ever been billed for any additional costs due to errors for additional processing for years where they had to fly them out to other counties for counting. That cost was not passed on to the City and the City pays the basic cost that is set out in the agreement per election. Council Member Calhoun asked about the amount budgeted for the election. Ms. Adams stated that budgeted is about $25,000 for election. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote, 6/0. Item 11 Resolution 2016-063, approving a resolution in support of the Sierra Vista Unified School District Bond Election in November 2016 Council Member Calhoun moved that Resolution 2016-063, approving a resolution in support of the Sierra Vista Unified School District Bond Election in November 2016, be approved. Council Member Ash seconded the motion. Ms. Jacobs stated that School Superintendent Chris Hagrel and Bruce Dockter with the Canyon Vista Medical Center Board presented to Council a summary of the bond election that the School District Governing Board has placed on the November Election. At the conclusion of that presentation, Council requested that a resolution of support be placed on the agenda. Council Member Huisking stated that she hardily supports it and is thankful to all her colleagues on Council for supporting something that probably needed action for awhile. She hopes that they go through with it and that people in the audience, constituents and voters will take the time to learn about it and get their questions answered so that they can make the right decision in November. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote, 6/0. Call to the Public The following individuals were present to voice their concerns about the Horned Toad Saloon building/lot repairs that have caused flooding issues and its affect on their businesses on west Fry Boulevard: Brian Bays, Joel Borowiec, Victor Tackett, Jose Lopez, Jimmy Galt, Patrick Galt, Robert Maloney, Sharon Thomas, and Phillip Micheau. Council Member Calhoun was interrupted by Mayor Mueller who stated that she was out of order and explained that based on the Open Meeting Law if the item was not posted for discussion, Council is not authorized to discuss this; but if she wants to talk about it in her closing remarks, she is more than welcomed to do that. Comments and Requests of the Council

Page 10: Sierra Vista City Councildocserve.sierravistaaz.gov/Home/City Council/City Council Meeting... · City Manager’s Report: Mr. Potucek made the following announcements: - Regular City

Council Member Mount voiced his appreciation at everyone present, stated that he received a message on social media referencing the discussion at Call to the Public and added that it is hard to follow up as everything that was said is important and he empathizes with what it is that they are going through. He also stated that Council’s job is to represent all areas of the City and the people who are affected and he thinks that what they have to do as a Council is to go back and figure out exactly what is going on, especially after it rains. He noted that he was looking at a map to get a layout and the harder part is that the City has to figure out, for what the City can control, what to do as there has been discussion about the west end. The City has to fix problems that the City can fix now. Council Member Huisking stated that she hopes that a concerted effort is made to look into this because there must be some information that the City is missing from the standpoint of what the City can do; but she appreciates everyone coming out and telling Council about it because the problem is not going to go away and monsoon season is going to be upon the City every year. She stated that she would also appreciate that they work with the City and to have the Council informed on what the possibilities are and options. She congratulated the Public Information Office for the tourism award and noted that she was there the night that they received it and it is great to have Sierra Vista recognized on a State level for a good piece of literature, which gives the visitors and residents a lot of good information. She thanked Council Members for supporting the school bond issue because as an educator and having worked in the Water Wise Program, she was in and out of a lot of schools and when things happen in the schools, classes get cancelled. She is well aware of the delays in maintenance that are bringing this about and the great need for technology, which will make the City competitive with other communities in terms of thinking about whether people will come to the City and educate their kids in the City if the schools have the right tools. In closing, she announced that she got a notice from the County Health Department about blood donors as a lot of people have been on vacation and the Red Cross is short on blood. Council Member Calhoun apologized to Council Member Mount for interrupting him during his comments and added that she joins those who want to put the issue on a work session because it is fair to hear both sides of the issue. She had the opportunity to see the property and it is a problem because in addition to the flooding, the cost to the building owners for their property, the mosquitoes are an important issue as there is pooling of water. She voiced her appreciation at Mr. Micheau’s comments about how the issue would disrupt work in his office. She thanked Dominic Luna for his service and stated that she hopes that he was able to get a lot out during his time as an intern at City Hall, a great service that the City offers to interns. In closing, she commented about an article in the paper about vet ownership and the work that vets are doing in the community and the fact that there is an office that helps vet businesses to work in the community. Council Member Ash echoed the comments of those who spoke before her, thanked Sierra Vista citizens and those that are not citizens; but do a lot of their shopping in Sierra Vista and business as well. She also stated that she agrees with Council Member Calhoun on having a work session because this is a government entity and there is a process; but at the same time there is a need for accountability and she looks forward to how the City along with the business owners in the west end can work towards a resolution.

This Agreement is entered into pursuant to A.R.S. §§11-951 et seq., and A.R.S. §13-3872 among the City of Sierra Vista, the Town of Oro Valley, the Town of Marana, the Town of Sahuarita, the City of Tucson, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the City of Nogales, the City of Florence, the City of South Tucson, the City of Apache Junction , the City of Chandler, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Town of Gilbert, the Town of Maricopa, the City of Mesa, the Town of Paradise Valley, the City of Phoenix, the City of Scottsdale, the County of Maricopa, the City of Glendale, the County of Navajo, the City of Page, the City of Peoria, the County of Pinal, the city of Show Low, and the City of Tempe. The aforementioned agencies shall herein after be known collectively as the Arizona Child Abduction Response team agencies (CART) and any other public agencies, as that term is defined in A.R.S. § 11-951, which after invitation by the CART chiefs, comply with the provisions of A.R.S. §§11-951 et seq. and files an authorizing document with the County Recorder in the County in which the agency is located that references this Agreement. A public agency shall become a Party to this Agreement as of the date that agency files with the appropriate County Recorder, notwithstanding that A.R.S. §§11-951 et seq., no longer requires such recording. Each CART agency shall provide a copy of its fully executed agreement to every other member agency. In addition to the above, all members to this Agreement may also be collectively known as or referred to as the Parties. I. PURPOSE The purpose of this Agreement is to create an Arizona Child Abduction Response Team (CART). The primary goal of the Arizona Child Abduction Response Team is to provide a pool of specialized investigators which are available to focus dedicated and intensive investigative, preventative, and general law enforcement efforts primarily with regard to cases involving abducted children. CART agencies may request and render law enforcement assistance from other CART agencies in dealing with serious violations of law including, but not limited to, the investigation, arrest and prosecution of those involved in criminal child kidnapping, abduction, false imprisonment and similar or related violations (utilizing state and federal law and prosecutions, as appropriate), the rescue of the abducted child or children and the seizure and forfeiture of assets of those engaged in child abduction or otherwise supporting such activity (utilizing state and federal forfeiture options, as appropriate). Additionally, the location of each Party’s jurisdiction in relation to each other makes it advantageous to enter this particular Agreement in order to receive and extend mutual aid in the form of law enforcement services and resources to adequately respond to continuing, multi-jurisdictional criminal activity such at that described above. II. AUTHORITY A. The Parties are authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement pursuant to A.R.S. §§11-951 et seq., A.R.S. §13-3872 and the respective provisions of their City Charters, Tribal Constitution or other governing statute or authority.

D. The CART Team Leaders or designees will be responsible for coordinating on-going

E. Each Party shall to the best of its ability make at least one sworn law enforcement officer

available along with supporting equipment, such as vehicles, in support of any CART activation. Each Party shall designate a primary CART member to participate in activations, meetings, trainings, etc. Each Party shall immediately inform other CART agencies when such designations change.

F. Each Party shall have the sole discretion to determine how many or how long any of its

personnel or resources shall be assigned in support of a CART activation. IV. COSTS AND ANY REIMBURSEMENT The Parties will be responsible for any and all associated costs accrued in implementing this Agreement that are incurred by their respective agencies to include but are not limited to employee salary, shift differential pay, overtime compensation, benefits, vehicles, equipment, etc. If any Party receives grant funds designated for the Arizona Child Abduction Response Team, some or all of these expenses may be reimbursed to the Parties.

August 25, 2016 MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council THRU: Charles P. Potucek, City Manager FROM: Mary Jacobs, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Agenda Item Placement – Resolution 2016-067, Tasking the Citizens

Advisory Commission with Reviewing Boards and Commissions Not Protected by State Statute, and Making Recommendations to the City Council on Structure, Operations, Mission or Appointment Changes

Recommendation: The City Manager recommends approval. Background: Over the past several months, the City Council has had several discussions regarding whether it was time to review the use and operation of the various non-state statute boards and commissions. Through these discussions, the Council determined that there were three tasks that needed to be accomplished:

Task the Citizen's Advisory Commission (CAC) with a review of the City's non-statutory boards and commissions (excluding the CAC) to determine whether the current structure is effective in encouraging citizen engagement, and make recommendations to the City Council;

Analyze the nomination process for Board/Commission members to determine if it is meeting the needs of the Council.

Review and update the current Board/Commission handbook and update with more detailed information and instruction to help make the appointed bodies more successful; and

Attached is a tasking for the Citizen's Advisory Commission that includes the first task. The second two tasks will be assigned to City staff to complete. If this resolution is approved, the CAC would be provided with staff support to complete the tasking, and ensure their analysis includes, at a minimum, a review of:

Current mission of each board/commission; Recommendations and actions of each entity; Input of current board/commission members on work and perceived effectiveness; Input of staff on perceived effectiveness of boards/commissions; and Review of alternative community engagement models in local government.

It is anticipated that the task would be completed by the end of January, 2017. Staff is currently reviewing the Board/Commission handbook and nomination process, and will finalize the update and recommendations once the Council has an opportunity to consider and act upon the recommendations of the CAC following their work on this tasking. Budget Impact: None
