Workshop Meeting Council Chambers City Council Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Bart Turner CALL TO ORDER Mayor Weiers called the meeting to order at 12:33 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Bart Turner Also Present: Kevin Phelps, City Manager Tom Duensing, Assistant City Manager Jack Friedline,Assistant City Manager Michael Bailey, City Attorney Julie K. Bower, City Clerk WORKSHOP SESSION 1. COUNCIL ITEM OF SPECIAL INTEREST REGARDING ECOATM MODEL ORDINANCE Presented by: Vicki Rios, Director, Budget and Finance Presented by: Rick St. John, Police Chief Ms. Bower read the item by title. Ms. Rios said ecoATM bought and resold used cell phones and tablets. There were six kiosks operating in Glendale and the seller was required to have government identification. There was live attendant verification and a national database was used to identify lost and stolen devices. Chief St. John said ecoATM had been operating in the City since August of 2015. During that time, there had been 34,000 transactions and far less than 1% of the total transactions ended up being stolen devices. In the instances of stolen devices, ecoATM had been a great partner with the Police Department, providing suspect leads and data on the transactions through the LeadsOnline system. Ms. Rios said the vendor was licensed as a second-hand dealer and paid an annual fee of$155 per kiosk and a per transaction fee of three dollars which resulted in ongoing revenue of$25,000 per year for the City. Ms. Rios said ecoATM didn't fit into the category of second-hand dealer. Its business model was different because it was a recycler and provided much different safety and security features. ecoATM had worked with the Arizona League of Cities and Towns (League)to develop a model ordinance to be licensed differently than second-hand dealers. Ms. Rios said Council could look at three options: •Maintain the status quo •Approve a code text amendment to waive the three dollar per transaction fee but retain the $155 annual license fee •Adopt the model ordinance that created a new category for the business type, eliminated the three dollar transaction fee and set a new per kiosk fee City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 2 of 13 Ms. Rios said the suggestedfee was$500 per kiosk. She asked for Council direction on how to proceed. Mayor.Weiers asked if ecoATM had worked closely with the Police Department and what was the value of the information it provided in solving crime. Chief St. John said ecoATM had been a good partner and willingly provided any information it had. Mayor Weiers supported the adoption of the model ordinance with a fee of$500 per kiosk. Councilmember Aldama had been a critic of ecoATM because he thought it might be a predatory-type business for the southern portion of the City. The demographics showed that only two kiosks were located in the Ocotillo district. It had proven to be a good partner to the Police Department. He no longer believed it was predatory although he hadn't seen very many benefits to the community. Councilmember Clark asked if there were any other businesses that used kiosks that would be in conflict with the model ordinance. Ms. Rios said in the event that Council opted for the code text amendment, there was a risk that it left it open for some other type of kiosk business to come in and be exempted from the transaction fee. The model ordinance included features that provided regulations such as a live attendant and government identification and could be applied to similar businesses. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked how the League arrived at the $500 per kiosk fee. Ms. Rios was not sure but believed the League looked at similar types of businesses that were regulated. Chief St. John said the League looked at nationwide practices. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if there was a cost to the City for the kiosks. Chief St. John said there was a full-time employee who monitored LeadsOnline and the fee would help cover that cost. There were other businesses that LeadsOnline was used for and ecoATM was only a small percentage of the total. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff wanted to make sure the City was recovering its costs. Ms. Rios said it was difficult to say in total what the cost would be because it was a new ordinance but believed it would be minimal. There would be verification and inspections required by staff but those should be covered by the$500 fee. There would be a revenue loss when comparing the current licensing requirements and the model ordinance requirements. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if it was found that the fee did not cover the City's costs, was there flexibility in the ordinance to amend the $500 fee. Ms. Rios said the City had the ability to raise fees at any time if it was necessary. Mayor Weiers asked if Council went with the status quo option, would ecoATM not be able to afford to continue to operate. Ms. Rios said that was correct and would likely pull its kiosks out of the City. City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 3 of 13 Councilmember Malnar asked what the three-dollar transaction fee applied to and what it covered. Chief St. John said one transaction was,for example, a customer selling multiple records. If the customer was selling records and a guitar, it would be considered two transactions. Multiple cell phones deposited in the kiosk at one time would be one transaction. The fee was used to pay for the LeadsOnline system and the employee who utilized it. Mayor Weiers said there was consensus on proceeding with the model ordinance with a $500 fee. 2. BUDGET WORKSHOP ON GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND FUNDED CAPITAL PROGRAM Presented by: Tom Duensing,Assistant City Manager Presented by: Jack Friedline, Assistant City Manager Presented by:Vicki Rios, Director, Budget and Finance Ms. Bower read the item by title. Ms. Rios said staff was seeking direction on project priority and funding within the available$175 million general obligation (G.O.) bond capacity. In FY20-22 and FY22-23, many G.O. bonds would be paid off and capacity would be freed up. The capacity was adjustable and adjustments would be made once the projects had been determined and Council had provided direction. She said some of the projects might require a bond election because of a lack of bond capacity. Mr. Duensing said Council direction was needed regarding clarity and prioritization. Council could add, remove or change the priority of any project. The projects would begin in FY21-22. Councilmember Clark asked about the flood control project on Bethany Home Road. The project was part of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Previously, the project had been scheduled to begin after 2023. She asked what had caused the project to be moved up. David Beard, City Engineer, said an application for the project was submitted to the Maricopa County Flood Control District (MCFCD). The MCFCD had placed it in its CIP. Councilmember Clark asked why the district had moved the project up. Mr. Beard said that the City submitted the project to the MCFCD and the project was placed on the priority list for the FY22-23 budget. Councilmember Clark asked if staff had decided to submit the funding request to the MCFCD. Mr. Beard said when the City submitted the project, the MCFCD moved the project to priority status in its CIP for FY22-23 because of funding availability. He said the district provided a 50/50 funding match. Councilmember Clark said there was no reason to fund the project early. There was no urgency to complete the project sooner. The funding for the project of$11 million could be utilized in other areas in the City. Mr. Friedline said that flood control projects were reviewed annually. The City submitted to get the projects in the queue. One year should not make a difference but it was important to keep the City's place in the queue. Councilmember Turner asked if the City risked losing the funding match of$11 million by delaying the project. Mr. Beard said that the City could lose its place and be required to start over with the submittal City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 4 of 13 process. Councilmember Turner asked if moving the project forward a couple of years was based on moving other projects back or was it based on the increased capacity that the City would not have had earlier. Mr. Duensing said it was a timing issue and providing the Council and the public a general idea of when the City could execute the projects. Moving the project out a year would not change the goal of prioritizing. If the project would be compromised based on the funding, it was something that would need to be discussed. Councilmember Turner did not want to lose the funding but was not convinced that it would happen. He wanted to see some of the other projects get funded sooner if the MCFCD project could be delayed until FY22-23. Councilmember Aldama said that there was a community impact for all of the projects and he wanted an explanation for the project ranking. Mr. Phelps said a risk assessment would provide residents with a better understanding of the risk factors that drove the funding and accelerated the projects. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the heavy usage of Bethany Home Road was a factor in accelerating the funding for the Bethany Home storm drain project. Mr. Duensing said projects would be presented at the next workshop, including a risk assessment that would better explain the projects' positions on the priority funding list. Councilmember Clark asked for clarification regarding projects being delayed until 2028. Mr. Duensing said in order to create additional capacity, projects would have to be delayed until after 2028. Ms. Rios said it would not change the overall funding amount in the next ten years. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the City Court project would be abandoned. Mr. Duensing said a risk assessment would be performed to determine if business could be conducted at the site. If it was determined that the project should move forward at the full amount, other projects would be moved off the list. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff was surprised that the City Court project was ranked so high on the project list when it only met one of the criteria. Mr. Duensing said the project had additional operating and maintenance (O&M) costs and was a safety project. If the project was moved down on the list of priorities, it would not impact the other 26 projects on the list. Capacity would increase if Council decided that it did not want to move forward with the project. Councilmember Clark would shift the Bethany Home storm drain and Camelback storm drain projects out a year or two on the priority list and replace both with the City Court remodel and City Prosecutor remodel. The two remodels were critically needed. She said the Velma Teague Library renovation, Glendale Municipal Complex Amphitheater and Heroes Regional Park Lake should be shifted up on the priority list. Councilmember Aldama preferred to hear the full presentation and then adjust the priorities. City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 5 of 13 Mr. Phelps said if it was determined that the 26 projects should be funded in the CIP, Council could prioritize the list based on urgency. Once the list was established, staff could provide information on the timing and sequence of the projects. Councilmember Clark asked about items that were not on the list such as O'Neil Park pool and Heroes Park recreational center, ball fields and library expansion. The pool had been abandoned for five years. Mr. Phelps referred to the funding on the priority list for park infrastructure improvements. Council could decide where the funding would be spent. Councilmember Turner said no capital investment had been made to Glen Lakes Golf Course in many years. He referred to the multiple street projects that were scheduled to be completed with G.O. bond funding. He suggested that if there was funding available, use the cash on hand to complete the projects and save the bond capacity and avoid the debt service. Mr. Duensing said that would be a proper policy direction. Staff could restructure the priority list by removing the street projects from the priority list and shift the projects to the transportation plan and determine the impact. Councilmember Turner supported moving the transportation-related projects. Councilmember Clark said a more coordinated approach was needed when looking at the projects to be completed in ten years. The$20 million set aside for park infrastructure projects was not enough. She proposed taking three-tenths of the seven-tenths sales tax and creating a restricted fund for parks and libraries which would also free up G.O. bond capacity. Mayor Weiers asked Council to stay on the agenda. The proposed changes would have to be discussed at another workshop. He was not in favor of taking funding from the General Fund reserves to complete projects. Councilmember Turner was not suggesting the use of the General Fund reserves. He was proposing using the GO Tax Fund reserves. He asked if consideration could be given to selling the Bank of America building to provide funding or partial funding for the Glendale Municipal Complex and amphitheater renovations. Mr. Phelps recommended that the renovations be left on the priority list. If the list was adopted, it would allow staff to prepare the plans for the projects, even if other assets were used to fund the projects. The CIP could be updated the following year. Councilmember Turner believed the ten-year plan created expectations and further discussion about timeframes for projects was necessary. Mr. Duensing provided information regarding the Multi-Phase Field Operations Campus project. He explained that the project had other eligible funding sources available outside of G.O. Bond funds. It would allow'Council to reduce the G.O. Bond funding for the project to$10 million. The full capacity could also be left and then there could be annual transfers back. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff was unsure why Enterprise Funds were not being used for the Multi-Phase Field Operations Campus. Councilmember Aldama asked if the Lazy J property was being used for the Multi-Phase Field Operations Campus project. City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 6 of 13 Mr. Friedline said the footprint for the campus had always included the Lazy J property. Councilmember Aldama asked what the plans were for the Lazy J trailer park. The conditions were unacceptable and he was disappointed that the Lazy J property would be part of the campus build out. Mr. Phelps said Council had provided no Council direction to include Lazy J's improvement in the CIP other than what was currently in place. A master plan for the project was in the works so that tenants would not be displaced and could be placed elsewhere. Councilmember Aldama wanted a phased approach that allowed the current residents to be involved in the discussion. Councilmember Aldama had an item of interest for further information on the Lazy J property. No information had been received. He was disappointed that the Lazy J property was being used for the campus project and that Council had not received the requested information. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said that an affordable housing developer was interested in the property. She asked if the site was owned by the water enterprise. Craig Johnson, Water Services Director, said Water Services had purchased the property in 2005 for$1.2 million. The plan for the site was to allow the attrition of the current tenants until a plan was established to expand the Multi-Phase Field Operations Campus. A discussion was planned for a workshop in April regarding the Lazy J. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff believed the campus project would fall under the Enterprise Fund. Councilmember Turner agreed with comments made by Vice Mayor Tolmachoff. Incorporating the Lazy J property into the campus project did not seem like the best use. Mr. Duensing said staff was looking for direction on the following questions: did the projects stay on the priority list or get taken off; were there projects that needed to have funding increased; and what were the projects that the Council wanted to fund. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff wanted to see all of the street projects moved to the Transportation Plan. She also wanted the Multi-Phase Field Operations Campus project removed until further information was provided about the use of the Enterprise Fund. Mayor Weiers asked about 95th Avenue extension project and other available funding. Mr. Phelps said the 95th Avenue extension had already been approved and funded. The Light Rail Project Fund had not been used and Council would decide on its use. Mayor Weiers wanted to make sure if other funds were used for projects, the City would not have repercussions from it later. Ms. Rios said after the Multi-Phase Field Operations Campus project and the street projects were removed from the priority list,the amount was reduced from $168 million to $125 million, providing an additional $43 million in capacity. Councilmember Turner did not think Vice Mayor Tolmachoff was advocating to cut the Multi-Phase Field Operations Campus project but wanted to see it funded from a different source, such as the Enterprise Fund. The G.O. bond funds would be used only if it was not appropriate to use Enterprise or Transportation Funds. City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 7 of 13 Mr. Duensing said that based on analysis done by Field Operations staff, the G.O. funding for the Multi-Phase Field Operations Campus project would be reduced to$9 million and the remainder would be paid by the Enterprise Fund. Mr. Duensing said Fire Station 154 was not included on the priority list due to significant O&M costs submitted with the project. After discussion with the Fire Department, the $2 million O&M costs could be removed and at Council's direction, the project could be moved to the priority list. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff supported moving Fire Station 154 to the priority list. She was concerned about Fire Station 153 because the cost was much higher. Ms. Woytenko, Field Operations Director, said Fire Station 153, located at 59th Avenue and North Thunderbird, needed'to be fully renovated and remodeled and that was why the cost was so high. Councilmember Clark said Fire Station 155 was listed on the priority list for the same cost. Fire Station 155 was ten years newer than Fire Station 153. She asked what the needs were for that station. Mayor Weirers asked if the dollar amounts provided were actual bids or just estimates. Ms. Woytenko explained that other fire station renovations were used as comparison as well as per square foot estimates. Fire Station 155, located at 62nd Avenue and Union Hills, had a lack of parking and space. Councilmember Clark asked if that would be addressed by further land acquisition. Ms. Woytenko said an engineering study would need to be done but reconfiguring the parking lot and having the retention basin potentially placed underground were ideas presented. The figures provided were estimates and a more refined estimate would be brought back to Council when appropriate. Councilmember Clark asked how priorities for the fire stations were determined. Ms. Woytenko said Field Operations staff worked with the Fire Department to decide priorities on a station-by-station basis. Fire Station 153 was determined the priority due to the health and safety issues. Mayor Weiers clarified that Fire Station 155 housed both Police and Fire and needed the added parking. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the cost of the parking renovation was being split between the Police and Fire Departments and if it would be better to combine both projects. Ms. Woytenko said that it was a General Fund project. The Foothills Police Station project addressed the ventilation system, while the Replace/Remodel Fire Station#155 project addressed the parking issues. Mr. Friedline said the projects being discussed were three to eight years out. Other things would be necessary along the way and it was a placeholder,for the projects. Mr. Phelps said a new fire station would cost around $12 to $14 million and staffs recommendation was to renovate the stations to get another ten to fifteen years of use. It was important to look at the programming first so that the needs could be filled to accommodate the demand in the City. City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 8 of 13 Mr. Duensing said the indicated adjustments had been made to the worksheet and there was now $38 million available for other projects. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the Multi-Phase City Hall Building Remodel project would include a customer service department. She had received complaints regarding the lack of customer service. Mr. Phelps said the programming phase of the project would determine what best served the needs of the citizens and staff. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said improving customer service could not wait three to five years. She wanted it to be a priority because residents had no idea where to go when they had service issues. It was not only an issue for the constituents but also for staff. Councilmember Aldama said with regard to the$20 million designated for park infrastructure improvements, O'Neil Park needed some demolition and renovation. The park was not a safe environment so would improvements be considered a capital improvement. Mr. Duensing said that the project was a proper use of capital funds. Councilmember Aldama asked Council to consider O'Neil Park and that the community should be involved in the process. Councilmember Clark would also like to include Heroes Park. The extra capacity should be put toward parks and libraries. Both were tangible to the citizens of Glendale and attracted other companies and new residents to the community. Mr. Duensing said the intent was to identify the priorities of the$22 million for park infrastructure improvements. Council could increase the capacity. The additional $38 million capacity could be allotted. Mayor Weiers wanted to see the Heroes Regional Park Lake be shifted up on the priority list. It was important to clean up the park due to the amount of visibility it would soon draw. Councilmember Clark said that was a compelling argument for the completion of Heroes Park. O'Neil Park needed complete renovation in order to provide recreational opportunities for the 1,300 homes in the area as well as other areas. Councilmember Malnar said it seemed there was concurrence that the parks and libraries needed renovation. He suggested the additional capacity be used as followed: • Provide an additional $15 to $20 million to the Park Infrastructure Improvements project • Fire Station 154 moved up on the priority list •City Hall—additional $2 million dollars for a new customer service center •Community Resource Center moved up on the priority list • Police Sub-Station moved up on the priority list Ms. Rios said if the scope of work was needed for Heroes Park and a customer service center, staff would have to provide the information at a later meeting. Councilmember Aldama was concerned that the extra capacity was not being distributed fairly. Council needed to take a step back and decide the priorities. Mr. Duensing said the intent was to give Jim Burke, Parks and Recreation Director, a general idea of the amount to be invested in the parks. Mr. Burke would then provide Council with a recommendation on the rehabilitation activities and costs for the parks. City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 9 of 13 Councilmember Aldama wanted to see the actual costs and prioritization of each project. Mr. Phelps said that many of the existing parks had a huge backlog of maintenance that needed to be completed separate from renovation. It was important to be good stewards for the community and take care of what was already in place. Mr. Phelps said the City was updating the Parks Master Plan and the public should be involved in that discussion. Staff would identify the existing infrastructure needs of the parks and provide the information to Council. Council could then prioritize the needs and the addition of new amenities. Mr. Phelps suggested Council look at City-owned assets and have policy discussions with staff to provide guidance and direction. The money could be used for private sector re-development but with an understanding of the O&M for the facility. Mr. Phelps asked how Council wanted staff to respond to questions or concerns if other cities or entities inquired about the removal from the CIP of Ballpark Boulevard. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff did not intend to remove Ballpark Boulevard and other street projects. Her goal was to see how the projects fit into the Transportation Plan and not be funded with G.O. funds. Mr. Phelps would have staff gather the requested information and present it at the next meeting. Councilmember Aldama was not advocating just for his district but for the whole City. He agreed with being good stewards to the community and taking care of what was already in place. Mr. Duensing said staff would make some adjustments to the timing and project priority list and determine if there was current voter-approved authorization to issue the bonds. There might not be$40 million in voter-approved authorization for parks and recreation. Councilmember Clark inquired about the following projects that were not on the current CIP priority list and if the projects had been eliminated: •Open Space Trails Project for Thunderbird Park Improvements •Local Drainage Problems Project#79004 Ms. Rios said the park project had combined into the park infrastructure improvements and the Local Drainage Problems project was moved to a different funding source. Councilmember Turner was concerned about the City Court project and the New Evidence/Crime Lab project. He asked that staff provide solid information pertaining to the projects that were not on the priority list. 3. BUILDING CODE ADOPTION AND AMENDMENTS Presented By: Sam McAllen, Director, Development Services Stephen Dudley, Building Safety Official Ms. Bower read the item by title. • Mr. McAllen said staff was requesting that Council discuss and provide input regarding the proposed adoption of the 2018 International Building Codes and the City's amendments. The last adoption of the Building Codes was in 2012. Mr. Dudley said building codes were established to protect the community with minimum standards for safety and public health. The updated codes reflected safer code practices and new City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 10 of 13 technology. The amendments addressed unique local conditions and construction problems based upon staffs expertise and experience. Mr. Dudley said a detailed review of the new International Building Codes was conducted by staff. Staff also developed City amendments. Public and professional comments were solicited. The proposed new technical codes with amendments included: •2018 IFC (Fire) •2018 IBC (Building) •2018 IMC (Mechanical) •2017 National Electric Code •2018 IECC (Energy Conservation) •2018 IEBC (Existing Building) •2018 IFGC (Fuel Gas) •2018 IPC (Plumbing) •2018 IRC (Residential) •2010 ADASAD Federal Regulation Mr. Dudley said all of the codes had been reviewed by a multi-departmental team that was recommending adoption of the 2018 codes and amendments. Adoption ensured construction in the City was safe and utilized updated technology. Most Valley cities would be adopting the 2018 codes during the calendar year. The Insurance Services Office (ISO) recommended adoption. He said the Fire Department would bring forward Fire Code recommendations at a future workshop. Mayor Weiers asked if the new codes would make it easier or harder for a business coming into the City that wanted to use an existing building. Mr. Dudley said the codes would make it easier because it included the adoption of the 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC)which provided a lot more options to deal with existing buildings and conditions. Councilmember Aldama asked if it would be appropriate for Council's Business Committee to review the codes and provide input. Mr. Dudley said the opportunity for community input still existed so it would be appropriate. Mr. Dudley asked for Council's input and said the codes and amendments would be brought back to a voting meeting for Council approval. He said public outreach would continue. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the codes would have any affect on large events at the stadium. Mr. Dudley did not believe there were any changes regarding such events so there would not be any impact. Councilmember Turner asked if the recording of notices of unsafe buildings was a new requirement. Mr. Dudley said it was an existing policy. Councilmember Turner asked about the requirement for an Arizona registrant. Mr. Dudley said the codes did not recognize the seal of an out-of-state registrant(architect or engineer). The practice in such situation was to rely on National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) reciprocity. It allowed out-of-state registrants to possess an Arizona seal and apply it to drawings submitted in Arizona. It was not an unusual requirement. City Council Meeting Minutes-February 27,2018 Page 11 of 13 Councilmember Turner said the code was being amended to disallow the use of non-water urinals. He agreed with the reason given for smaller facilities but larger facilities could handle the required sanitation and maintenance and the water savings could be substantial. He asked if there could be a threshold included in the code where it was allowed or not allowed. Mr. Dudley said there was a lot of discussion regarding the issue. The plumbing inspectors' experience with the units had not been good. Staff would take another look at the issue. Mayor Weiers said the consensus was to proceed. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Mr. Phelps had no report. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT Mr. Bailey had no report. COUNCIL ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST Councilmember Aldama wanted Council to be cautious when discussing reducing sales tax. He wanted to look at reducing pension costs. Mayor Weiers asked if Councilmember Aldama wanted that topic discussed at a future workshop. Councilmember Aldama said he did not and was only offering a comment. Councilmember Clark wanted to discuss taking a portion of the sales tax and using it to either pay off pension costs or for parks and libraries. Councilmember Malnar would like Council to consider changing the model for the Streets Department. Mayor Weiers wanted research to be done on the City of Albuquerque's homeless program. He supported implementing a pilot program in Glendale.
