Presented By: Tim Barnard, Assistant Director, Public Facilities, Recreation and Special Events
City Council Meeting Minutes-May 22,2018 Page 5 of 20
A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Councilmember Jamie
Aldama to adopt Consent Resolution item 21.
Mayor Weiers asked if there was any discussion.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff requested the staff presentation and said she would then be proposing
an amendment.
Mr. Barnard said the proposed resolution authorized the city manager toenter into a
twelve-month management contract and license agreement with Golf Maintenance Solutions 5W,
L.L.C. (GMS) for the continued management and operations of the Glen Lakes Municipal Golf
Course.
Mr. Barnard said Glen Lakes was a 44.6-acre, nine-hole golf course located at 55th Avenue and
Northern. The City had owned the course since 1979. It had been operated by a series of
outside entities, through leases, to run both the golf operations and the maintenance of the
course.
Mr. Barnard said the most recent operator was found to be in breach of contract and the contract
was terminated. GMS had been in business since 2003 and operated and maintained golf
courses for public, private and municipal golf courses at approximately 150 different locations
throughout the country.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said the $429,000 contract for the maintenance came out to
approximately$9,988 per acre. The budget for City parks was $2,356 per acre, so it was
almost four times what was spent on City parks.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said another municipal golf course, Desert Mirage, was located 5.5 miles
away. She had requested data on the money the City had spent on the two golf courses. Desert
Mirage came in just over$10,000 for the last few years. The operator had told her the course
was doing well and that it would have a positive cash flow this year for the first time in four years.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said that Desert Mirage was a less expensive option for residents. Its
nine-hole walk was just$10 and riding for nine holes was $14. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said Glen
Lakes was $13.50 to walk and $18 to ride.
It was less than a 10-minute drive to the golf course and it was costing tax payers negligible
resources to operate. To pay for itself, Glen Lakes would need to have 87 rounds, every day,
365 days a year. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff understood that it was nice to have the green space in
the neighborhood, but believed it was not a sustainable option for the City.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff wanted Mr. Phelps to explore other options for the property, keeping in
mind that the residents wanted to have some sort of green around the residences. She felt it
was time to look at other opportunities to go forward with a public process and for everybody to
hear what the City's position was on it. It was not financially sustainable to have two municipal
golf courses within a 10-minute drive of each other.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said it was time to have the public process to explore possibilities and for
everybody to have a chance to be heard.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff proposed moving forward with the process and amending section 2.1 of
the agreement to read: "2.1 Early Termination. Both parties may agree to early termination of
this Agreement by written agreement after providing ninety (90) calendar days' notice. Costs to
terminate the agreement will not exceed the remaining value of the agreement."
City Council Meeting Minutes-May 22,2018 Page 6 of 20
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked that there be no capital investment or improvements and that the
course be kept so that it did not become an eyesore while the City vetted the process. She
proposed that maintenance costs be kept at a minimum and that the course be kept as green
and as nice looking as possible until there was a public process. She asked Council if it would
support that proposal.
Stephanie Voelker, Ocotillo District, was in support of Resolution No. R18-53.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff was willing to put a 90-day cancellation into the contract if all of Council
agreed, and then go through the process and if the course was shut down, figure out a way so
that it would not negatively impact the neighborhood. For 500 residents, it was almost half a
million dollars, at$1,000 per resident,just to keep it open.
Councilmember Clark felt that part of what Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said was correct. Half a
million dollars a year to support Glen Lakes Golf Course was"crazy." She also believed in the
power of the people and the group had a petition with 500 signatures. Councilmember Clark
agreed what was needed was a public process such as a public workshop, public discussion and
a forum to hear from everyone about what could be an alternative.
Councilmember Clark said there needed to be a balance, a compromise, a way to come to
middle ground. Her middle ground would be to see ten acres of the 44 acres preserved as a
neighborhood park. It would create a needed buffer between the townhomes and Northern
Avenue and beyond.
Councilmember Clark said there were all kinds of possibilities and asked everyone not to be so
rigid that they could not figure out a way to make something work that partially satisfied
everyone.
Councilmember Clark would support Vice Mayor Tolmachoff's motion to amend but would insist
that there be a public process where everyone worked together to find a solution that would
satisfy the majority.
Councilmember Aldama said that it was not fiscally responsible to allow the City's assets to fall
by the wayside. Both the contractors that had been there in the past and the City were
responsible to maintain the golf course. The City had a responsibility to maintain its assets such
as O'Neil Park. It was not fiscally responsible to walk away from such assets and he felt that the
City should put money back into the golf course and maintain it as such.
Councilmember Aldama did not see any maintenance standards being set. He was very
supportive of keeping it open and was supportive of putting the money towards it and seeing a
long-term goal. He wanted to have a public conversation about saving the golf course, not on
getting rid of it. It was not fiscally responsible to walk away from City assets as they had done in
the past. If the golf course was closed,which facility or asset was going to be next.
Councilmember Aldama was in support of maintaining the golf course and keeping it open.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said over the last few years, the City had put over$213,669 into the golf
course, which was more than had been spent on parks. Over the same period, Desert Mirage
had cost the City just a little over$10,000. There was another$90,000 for Glen Lakes to finish
up the current year's contract. She said $213,669 plus $90,000 plus another$429,500 were
"real dollars". City parks were very underfunded and to catch up City parks in the Park Score
Index would require $10 million.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff agreed with Councilmember Clark about the need for a public process
and having residents involved. The City had invested money in Glen Lakes and it still needed a
City Council Meeting Minutes-May 22,2018 Page 7 of 20
lot of money that the City simply did not have.
Councilmember Malnar agreed with Vice Mayor Tolmachoff's amendment. It would give the City
the chance to look at the entire situation and give the City some time to evaluate everything. He
too felt for the constituents and those who lived around the golf course. He wanted to make sure
Council heard their voices. Council was deciding to continue to maintain the golf course but
doing it in a way where it could look at other options.
Councilmember Malnar wanted to see other options. He did not think Council had been offered
ahy other options. It had been either close the golf course or keep it going. The opportunity to
amend gave a time frame for everyone to get what they would like.
Councilmember Turner would second Vice Mayor Tolmachoffs amendment extending from 30 to
90 days, the required notice before termination of the contract.
Mayor Weiers said there was not a member of Council that wanted to see the golf course go
away. The problem was the City still had roads to maintain and all sorts of amenities that the
public expected with its tax dollars. There was not enough money to cover everything and
Council had to figure out where the money needed to go that was most important to all 250,000
residents not just a neighborhood of less than 500 homes. Mayor Weiers said Council had to be
responsible to everybody and would try everything it could to make it work.
Mayor Weiers said 9-hole courses were just not surviving. There did not seem to be an interest
in them like there used to be. It was just reality and times had changed. He would love to find a
way to keep Glen Lakes open but did not know how it could be done. One proposal would be for
the homeowners in the surrounding area to start their own HOA for the golf course and tax
themselves $1,000 per year. His guess was that some would say"absolutely" and the others
would say "no."
Mayor Weiers felt the amendment was not the answer to everything but it certainly bought a little
bit of time for research to figure out if there was a better way. He asked anyone who had some
ideas that could work to please let Council know.
Mayor Weiers said there were a lot of things that needed to be worked out, and he hoped that
everyone had input, kept Council informed and that everyone came with ideas. It did not help if
the only idea was just to keep it open. Give suggestions on how to do that because it was going
to take everyone working together.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff, seconded by Councilmember Bart
Turner to amend the agreement with the proposed language:
2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and expire on
June 30, 2019, unless sooner terminated under the Agreement provisions, with the option to
extend for an additional one (1) year period.
2.1 Early Termination. Both parties may agree to early termination of this Agreement by
written agreement after providing ninety (90) calendar days' notice. Costs to terminate
the agreement will not exceed the remaining value of the agreement.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked Mr. Bailey to clarify the last line of the amendment, "costs to
terminate the agreement will not exceed the remaining value of the agreement."
Mr. Bailey said it put a limit on what the cost would be to the extent that there was a
termination of the agreement. It would not and could not exceed the value of the contract.
For example, if there were six months remaining, half of the value would be the amount that
could be utilized to terminate the agreement. He said there was a cap and the City's cost

could not exceed the $429,500.

32. ORDINANCE NO. 018-38
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A WARRANTY DEED FOR RIGHT OF WAY
LOCATED AT 6409 WEST GLENDALE AVENUE AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO
RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE.
Presented by: David D. Beard, P.E., City Engineer
Ms. Rabin read the ordinance by title.
Mr. Beard said the proposed ordinance accepted right-of-way for a bus shelter at 6409 West
Glendale Avenue. The bus shelter was constructed on a parcel of land at 6409 West Glendale
Avenue and additional right-of-way was not obtained to encompass the shelter. The property
owner, Baddour Family Trust, had agreed to dedicate additional right-of-way on Glendale
Avenue so the existing bus shelter improvements would reside in the City's right-of-way instead
of on private property.
Mr. Beard said staff recommended accepting the additional right of way on Glendale Avenue
where currently a bus shelter existed on private property. There would be little impact on City
departments, staff or service levels and minimal costs might be incurred to maintain and repair
the existing bus shelter.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Ian

River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District(SRP) along 95th Avenue north of
Camelback Road at Missouri Avenue for undergrounding an existing overhead power line and
maintaining and operating said power line and associated appurtenances.
Mr. Beard said in November 2016, the City entered into a construction escrow agreement with
the Arizona Cardinals Football Club for the construction of the pedestrian tunnel under Bethany
Home Road and for the design and construction of two pedestrian bridges to span the Grand
Canal and the Bethany Home Outfall Channel. As a part of the project, SRP relocated power
facilities and installed wiring for street lighting along Bethany Home Road, between 91st and 95th
Avenue.
Mr. Beard said the 95th Avenue Extension Project was awarded to Nesbitt Contracting and
construction was underway for the roadway extension. The relocation of electric facilities was a
component of the project.

RESOLUTIONS

38. RESOLUTION NO. R18-54
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, ADOPTING A TENTATIVE BUDGET OF THE AMOUNTS REQUIRED FOR THE
PUBLIC EXPENSE FOR THE CITY OF GLENDALE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019,
SETTING FORTH THE REVENUE AND THE AMOUNT TO BE RAISED BY DIRECT
PROPERTY TAXATION FOR THE VARIOUS PURPOSES, ADOPTING THE CITY COUNCIL'S
FINANCIAL POLICIES, AND GIVING NOTICE OF THE TIME FOR HEARING TAXPAYERS
AND FOR FIXING TAX LEVIES.
Presented by: Vicki Rios, Director, Budget and Finance
Ms. Rabin read the resolution by title.
Ms. Rios said the proposed resolution authorized the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2018-2019
(FY18-19) tentative budget, including the proposed Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). It was also
a request for Council to set the dates of two meetings that were part of the budget process:
•The FY18-19 final budget and property tax levy on June 12, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. in the
Council Chambers
•The FY18-19 property tax levy adoption on June 26, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. in the Council
Chambers
Ms. Rios said the last time Council saw the budget was on May 1, 2018 at the last workshop and
a couple of changes had been made since that time. The budget was reduced from $695 million
dollars to $689 million dollars, primarily because of some contingency requests that were
reduced by the departments.
Ms. Rios said there was an error in the previous schedule. An employee had been budgeted as
full-time, so the dollars were there, but the position had been listed as a .75 position. The
correction had been made and it would bring the total request for new full-time employees
(FTEs) in the next fiscal year from 26.75 up to 27.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Ian
Hugh to adopt Resolution No. R18-54.
City Council Meeting Minutes-May 22,2018 Page 18 of 20
Councilmember Turner said there were a few areas of the budget that he was not particularly
happy with and felt they were areas where the City could do better. One area was the
$450,000 total to rewrite the Zoning Ordinances and the other was the $220,000 for an
engineering study of the amphitheater replacement. He felt the money would be better spent
making amphitheater improvements quickly and programming it so that it could be put to
work over the next several years until the City would get closer to building a new
amphitheater. The downtown merchants and the community would benefit from having the
cultural opportunities.
Councilmember Turner said it was unnecessary and counterproductive to remove the council
assistant position.
Councilmember Turner would like Council to think about those items and it was something he
would have like to have seen done differently. There was so much more in the budget that
was important and crucial to the functioning of the City that he would vote in favor of the
tentative adoption.
Mayor Weiers said it was not a perfect budget but under the circumstances he did appreciate
every employee that the City had, from department heads all the way down to the person who
had started just last week. The City would not function if it were not for all of the employees.
Mayor Weiers said Council got to make the decisions but the employees were the ones-that
carried the decisions out. He sent a heartfelt thank you to the staff working for the City of
Glendale. He felt they were why it was the best city. He was very excited to vote yes for the
budget. Although it was not perfect, it was good compared to five years ago.

COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
Councilmember Aldama thanked staff for their assistance, guidance and direction during the lengthy
budget process. He appreciated all the input in helping Council make decisions.
Councilmember Aldama thanked the Firefighters Charities, Coach Ron York and the Glendale High
School football team for helping with the clean-up at O'Neil Park. He said there were about 50 young
men out there cleaning up the park and a great time was had by all.
Councilmember Turner said that the Glendale Firefighters Charities held a golf tournament in Glendale to
raise money to purchase an inventory of smoke detectors to be distributed and installed, free of charge, to
Glendale residents. The service was created after a mother and her three young children lost their lives
in a house fire in the Barrel District a little over a year ago. The fire could have probably been prevented
had the house been equipped with working smoke detectors. He thanked the firefighters and encouraged
everyone to check the batteries in their smoke detectors. If anyone knew someone in need of a smoke
detector, they could contact his Council office or the Glendale Fire Department.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff thanked Cholla residents, the Police Department and all those who attended the
Neighborhood Safety District Meeting held on May 10th. The idea was to encourage "block watch."
Hopefully new block watches would be formed, old block watches would be re-established and people
would connect with their neighbors to be the eyes and ears for their neighborhoods.
Mayor Weiers said on Saturday, Pendergast School District had several teachers come out to Glendale
Airport to get teachers excited about aerospace education and teach it in the classroom. He volunteered
his own airplane and took several teachers up on Saturday morning. It was a lot of fun and hopefully
some kids might someday become NASA astronauts. Mayor Weiers said we were all in this together and
anything we could do to help each other was a great chance to pay it forward. He encouraged anyone
with a special skill or ability to help someone, especially teachers, if they could, to do that.
ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Weiers adjourned the meeting at 7:06 p.m.
I hereby certify that the foregoing minutes are a true and correct copy of the minutes of the
meeting of the Glendale City Council of Glendale, Arizona, held on the 22nd day of May, 2018.
I further certify that the meeting was duly called and held and that a quorum was present.
Dated this 12th day of June, 2018.
