The vote on the motion was: AYE: Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Bart Turner NAY: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Failed City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 6 of 26 A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff to approve Resolution No. R17-123. Mayor Weiers said there were several members of the public who wished to speak on the item. Gary Sherwood, Sahuaro district, was opposed to the resolution. He said the citizens voted in 2002 to increase the sales tax by half a cent to fund light rail. Mr. Sherwood was concerned that the item was on the consent agenda. The cost of the project had gone up a little since the original estimate. He said the light rail in Phoenix had contributed to the ASU campus and Cityscape. Light rail improved the quality of life. The citizens wanted light rail and he didn't understand why Council was rushing a decision. Tom Schmitt, Yucca district, member of the Citizens Transportation Advisory Commission CTOC), said the citizens voted for light rail and CTOC had voted unanimously, at its meeting last week, to forward a message to Council to delay a vote on the resolution and refer it back to the CTOC. The CTOC would look at the estimating methodology and the revenues available for the project and make a recommendation. Bryce Alexander, Yucca district resident and Ocotillo district business owner, said although light rail construction would have a negative impact on businesses, it was a short term impact. The long term economic impact would be positive. Light rail had spurred economic development in Phoenix. He was disappointed in Council's opposition to light rail in Glendale. Mr. Alexander suggested that the City sell surplus property to help fund it. He wanted to know what would happen to the funds that were designated for light rail if Council passed the resolution. John Blackburn, Cactus district resident, CTOC member, said the CTOC wanted to be involved and felt the decision was being rushed. He said the CTOC should have the opportunity to research the issue. James Deibler, Phoenix resident, was opposed to the resolution. He would like to see the light rail extended all of the way to Westgate. It would provide economic growth in the west valley. Tom Eggleston, Barrel district resident and former Glendale Vice Mayor, supported the resolution. He wanted the money spent on other transportation projects. Pete Gliniak, Ocotillo district resident and business owner, supported light rail in Glendale. He said if Mesa and Tempe could do it, there was no reason why Glendale couldn't accomplish it also. Teresa Ouitzen, Ocotillo district resident and business owner, was opposed to the resolution. She didn't understand why Council wasn't proceeding with the light rail project in Glendale. It could really connect Glendale with Phoenix and make it easier for people} to visit and work in Glendale. It would be a good thing for the City. Councilmember Aldama said it was a matter of principle. In 2001, Glendale voters asked Council to follow their direction. Light rail was not an afterthought but was one of the bulleted items on the ballot. To vote against an overwhelming majority of the voters was an injustice. Councilmember Turner said the public speakers had raised the issue of current public City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 7 of 26 support for light rail. It was such an important issue for the City so it was important to have data. He had commissioned a telephone survey of residents regarding support for light rail. The sample size was 715 and the results were that 60% of surveyed respondents supported light rail. He had shared the results with Mayor and Council via email. Respondents felt the City was headed in the right direction. Councilmember Turner said the voters put the funding in place and funding was within 8% of its target. There was money to fund the construction and operation of light rail to 51st Avenue. If the project was value-engineered, additional funding might be found. Councilmember Turner said the CTOC was created by the voters to make sure all of the items voted on were done in a financially efficient way. It was a mistake not to refer the matter to the CTOC. He said that mistake could still be remedied. CTOC members had the kind of experience that would allow them to make a sound recommendation. Councilmember Aldama asked if there was any potential litigation if the will of the voter was not followed. Mr. Bailey was not aware of any. Councilmember Aldama wanted to make sure residents understood that there would be no refund of the tax money collected if the light rail project didn't proceed and approximately$70 million would be forfeited. He didn't believe the CTOC had been given an opportunity to make a recommendation. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if the ballot language compelled Council to address every single project on the ballot. Mr. Bailey said it was an advisory vote, per state statute. Council was not mandated to complete every project. Councilmember Turner asked if there was any language on the ballot that indicated that it was an advisory vote. Mr. Bailey did not have the ballot language in front of him and could not comment on it but the information would have been in the publicity pamphlet. After the vote, Council had to take action to assess the tax and create the CTOC. Councilmember Turner had reviewed the ballot language and there was nothing that indicated it was an advisory vote. There was every reason for the voters to expect that light rail would happen. Councilmember Malnar had not been a strong proponent of light rail because he felt the cost did not warrant the benefit. It was not proven that economic development was caused by the light rail. It was his opinion that the economic development could happen with light rail but the light rail did not cause it. Only a small subset of the population benefited from light rail. Light rail was always integrated into the transportation projects on the ballot but there was no proof that there was overwhelming support for light rail. He did believe there would be benefit to downtown Glendale but he couldn't justify spending so much money for such a small benefit. Councilmember Malnar strongly supported the resolution. Councilmember Clark had researched the issue of light rail. The cost was astounding and light rail was becoming the black hole of the valley. Phoenix and Mesa had to allocate more resources for security and operations and maintenance (O&M). Glendale didn't City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 8 of 26 have the resources of Phoenix and the O&M costs would have to come out of the general fund. That funding would be at the expense of other items that were important to all of the citizens of Glendale. As of this morning, her informal poll numbers indicated that 57% wanted light rail to stop and 43% wanted it to continue. Light rail had a displacement effect that resulted in 30% of the businesses along the light rail route in Phoenix disappearing and being replaced by apartments. Councilmember Clark could not support light rail. Councilmember Tolmachoff wanted to know if the people surveyed by Councilmember Turner were aware of the cost of light rail. It would cost$88 million to get one mile into Glendale. It would take until 2023 to get it to 51st Avenue. The O&M would not be funded by the tax revenue. Once the City got to 51st and Glendale, it was committed to complete the line. The cost was unknown and the City would probably have to go back to the voters to increase the tax. Vice Mayor Hugh said a study by the Federal Transit Authority found that light rail did not create growth. At best it redistributed and at worst, harmed existing businesses. It would cost$50 million per mile to construct. The cities that had spent the most money for transportation, had the slowest growth. The City was moving in the right direction financially and he couldn't support spending all of that money on light rail. Mayor Weiers was always hearing concerns about the state legislature sweeping highway user revenue fund (HURF) money. More and more people were purchasing electric cars so less and less people were paying the tax on gasoline. The City risked a chance of not having enough money to take care of its streets. There was supposed to be a sunset on the temporary sales tax increase that was imposed five years ago. Instead, the tax was extended. If there was not enough money to fund the O&M on light rail, taxes would have to be increased. Mayor Weiers was not prepared to fund something that would not get the City where it needed to go. He was not in favor of proceeding with light rail. The vote on the motion was: AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff NAY: Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Bart Turner Passed Councilmember Turner provided an explanation for his vote. He said the facts were still in dispute regarding the costs. It made sense to send it to the CTOC for a recommendation. Council could accept the recommendation or not. PUBLIC HEARING -LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS Mayor Weiers said item 27, Ordinance No. 017-60 would be heard first, followed by item 26, Ordinance No. 017-59.

Mr. Froke said the item was a companion to Ordinance No. 017-60. It would adopt a planned area development(PAD)for Woolf Logistics Center. The size and location was the same as the annexation case.

At its meeting on November 16, 2017, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning request subject to 13 stipulations. Staff recommended approval of the ordinance subject to the stipulations found in the proposed ordinance. Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing. No one wished to address Council. Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff to adopt Ordinance No. 017-59. AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 10 of 26 Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed 27. ORDINANCE NO. 017-60 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, EXTENDING AND INCREASING THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, STATE OF ARIZONA, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 9, CHAPTER 4, SECTION 9-471, ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES AND AMENDMENTS THERETO, BY ANNEXING THERETO CERTAIN TERRITORY LOCATED WITHIN AN EXISTING COUNTY ISLAND OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 1,340 ACRES AT 8805 NORTH REEMS ROAD TO BE KNOWN AS ANNEXATION AREA NO. 202; AMENDING THE ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE;AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE ORDINANCE BE RECORDED Presented By: Jon Froke, Planning Director Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Froke requested that Council conduct a public hearing, waive reading beyond the title and adopt the proposed ordinance for Annexation Area No. 202 (AN-202). The annexation was approximately 1,340 acres in size and was generally located north of Northern Avenue, east of Reems Road, south of Peoria Avenue and west of 143rd Avenue. Mr. Froke said Northern Parkway bifurcated the property and provided an excellent transportation corridor and opportunities. Mr. Froke said annexation was a multi-step process. Council was required to take action at two separate voting meetings. It had taken the first action at its voting meeting on October 10, 2017 by conducting a public hearing on the blank annexation petition. The second action was to adopt the proposed ordinance. If the ordinance was adopted, the site would be added to the Glendale city limits 30 days later. Mr. Froke said a neighborhood meeting was held on October 4, 2017 and those in attendance were supportive of the Woolf Logistics Center. The site was adjacent to Luke Air Force Base and future industrial and business complex development was compatible with the base. Future development would implement the general plan. Staff recommended the adoption of the ordinance. Ed Bull, applicant representative, had been working on the annexation for many years and it was completely compatible with the general plan and Luke Air Force Base. He asked Council to approve the annexation. Councilmember Turner had shared his concerns with the development of the City's western boundary and if the City was bringing in some of the land but not the most financially productive land. It was explained that the pre-annexation development agreement(PADA) for the site also applied to the bulk of the land abutting the Loop 303. He asked if those properties were required by the PADA to come to the City for annexation first. Mr. Bull said that was correct. His understanding was that all of the properties were part of the PADA or were already annexed into the City. Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing. City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 11 of 26 No one wished to speak. Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Jamie Aldama to approve Ordinance No. 017-60. Councilmember Clark said the project was a big deal for the City, as big as the IKEA project. Woolf Logistics would bring jobs to Glendale residents. The project was a long time coming and she congratulated Mr. Woolf, Mr. Bull and everyone else involved. She wished them the best. Councilmember Aldama looked forward to growing Glendale and appreciated the Woolf family. Mayor Weiers said that over 20,000 jobs would be created by the development. The vote on the motion was: AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS 28. APPROVAL OF AMENDED FINAL PLAT (FP)APPLICATION FP17-05—8450 NORTH 59TI-1 AVENUE Presented by: Jon Froke, Planning Director Ms. Bower read the item by title. Mr. Froke was requesting that Council approve an amended final plat for Las Casas Contentas, an R-4 (Multiple Residence)zoned 8-acre property located at 8450 North 59th Avenue. The site was platted in 1973 with 90 townhome lots. Over the past 44 years, 20 lots were built and the remaining 70 lots were vacant. The applicant wished to vacate the 70 lots and combine them into one lot to increase the viability of starting with a new in-fill housing development. The R-4 zoning allowed for 20 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC). Mr. Froke said staff recommended approval of the amended final plat application. It was consistent with the general plan and would allow a new in-fill development. Mayor Weiers said there were speaker cards. Teresa Falcone, Barrel district resident, was a resident of Las Casas Contentas. The HOA was struggling financially. The pool had been empty for a few years and the area was being used by homeless people. She asked that Council approve the request because new development would help the situation. City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 12 of 26 James Deibler, Phoenix resident, supported approval of the application for an amended final plat. A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh to approve the Amended Final Plat Application FP17-05. AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed Councilmember Turner said there was financial exposure for the residents and the developer. He complimented the developer for doing such a good job of communicating with the neighborhood. He was comfortable moving forward because it would be an improvement to the entire area. Mayor Weiers was in support because it provided an opportunity to clean up the area and make it easier for the police to provide service. 29. APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT APPLICATION FP17-03-CAMPANA TRAILS Presented by: John Froke, Planning Director Ms. Bower read the item by title. Mr. Phelps said the item was the last one Mr. Froke would be presenting to Council prior to his departure from the City. Mr. Froke said Campana Trails was a new detached single-family residential neighborhood proposed by Viking Development, Inc. A home builder had not yet been identified. It was a request for approval of the final plat. The site was located on the east side of 67th Avenue south of Skunk Creek. Mr. Froke said the subdivision consisted of 21 single-family lots on approximately 5.3 acres. The typical lot size was 60 feet by 100 feet. The density was approximately 3.8 DU/AC. The 21 lots would be served by new public streets with vehicular access provided from 67th Avenue. Mr. Froke said 14% of the site was devoted to planned open space and new sidewalks would be installed to provide a pedestrian/bicycle connection to the existing multi-use trail adjacent to Skunk Creek. Mr. Froke said the final plat was consistent with the general plan and existing zoning and was appropriate for the in-fill site and met the requirements of the Subdivision and Minor Land Division Ordinance. Nearby infrastructure would be extended by the applicant to serve the new homes. Approval of the request would allow future residential opportunities in an established part of the City with nearby infrastructure and amenities. Staff recommended approval of the application. City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 13 of 26 Councilmember Malnar asked that a document, a summary of a meeting that occurred on December 7, 2017 between Councilmembers Malnar, Tolmachoff and Clark,Viking Development and Casa Campana resident HOA board members, be included in the record. The conclusion was that the intention was to present the project as an age-restricted community. The Casa Campana community supported the project. Councilmember Clark said the HOA board was concerned about the developer's ability to make it an age-restricted community. Based on the representations of the developer, Councilmember Clark was comfortable that the developer would live up to the expectation. Mayor Weiers said there was one speaker card. James Deibler, Phoenix resident, supported the application because it would be good for the area and the entire City. A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Councilmember Joyce Clark to approve agenda item 29. AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed Councilmember Turner thanked Mr. Froke for his years of service with the City as the Planning Director and Historic Preservation Officer. Mayor Weiers said that Mr. Froke had planned on retiring three years ago but the Mayor had asked him to stay on for awhile longer because the City couldn't move forward without him. Mr. Froke had agreed to stay but it was now time for him to move on to the next phase of his life. Mayor Weiers wished Mr. Froke the best of luck and said he would be missed. Councilmember Tolmachoff said Mr. Froke lived in her district and she would put him to work. Councilmember Clark said she and Mr. Froke had been working together for a long time. She considered him a friend and wished him the very best in his future endeavors. He would be missed. Councilmember Aldama had served as the Vice Chair and the interim Chair of the Planning Commission under the leadership of Mr. Froke. He thanked Mr. Froke for his guidance and leadership and everything he had done for the City. Councilmember Malnar said, when he was a new member of Council, Mr. Froke had been very helpful and attentive. Mr. Froke always provided the facts. He would be missed. Vice Mayor Hugh said it had been great working with Mr. Froke. ORDINANCES City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 14 of 26 30.

ORDINANCE NO. 017-65 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AMENDING SECTION 2-16, REGULAR MEETING DATE, TIME. Presented By: Michael D. Bailey, City Attorney Julie K. Bower, City Clerk Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Bailey said the proposed ordinance provided an amendment regarding meetings. It would allow for flexibility with meeting times. City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 17 of 26 A motion was made by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 017-65. Councilmember Clark did not like the proposed ordinance. It proposed that both the workshop and the voting meeting be held on two Tuesdays each month. For 100 years, Council had met every Tuesday, alternating between workshops and voting meetings. In January, the workshop would convene at 12:30 p.m.,followed by a voting meeting at 5:00 p.m. Agenda items had to be completed by the Monday prior to the meeting which presupposed that Council would receive meeting packets the Wednesday before the meetings. Council would have three days to review the material and get more information for two meetings. Councilmember Clark said there were many more activities and events that Council participated in than ever before. It limited the amount of time for review and research. The change did not give Council time to be as fully informed as it would like to be. It also did a great disservice to the public by not allowing them enough time to prepare for two Council meetings or to reach out to Councilmembers. Councilmember Clark said the voting meeting would now begin at 5:00 p.m. That was not convenient for the public because many people worked. It would be a sacrifice for the public to meet the schedule. She thought the action would have unintended consequences for citizens and Council. She would be voting no on the motion. Councilmember Turner agreed with Councilmember Clark's comments. Councilmember Malnar wanted to give it a try. It could be switched back if there were unintended consequences. Councilmember Tolmachoff said it was worth a try. If it didn't work, Council could change it back. Other cities had the same schedule and it worked. She asked if Council could get the meeting packets earlier. Councilmember Aldama wanted to know how the community benefited by the schedule change. Mayor Weiers said there had been instances when Councilmembers had been unable to attend the meetings in person and instead, had to attend by phone. It was disruptive when members were on the phone and trying to vote on an issue. There was no reason why the City Manager couldn't provide the meeting packets earlier. The issues could be overcome very easily. It was also more respectful to staff to combine the meetings on one day. Councilmember Aldama did not know if there had been enough absenteeism to warrant the change. When the issue first came up as an item of interest, Councilmember Aldama wasn't too concerned until he was informed that the start time for the meeting would be 5:00 p.m. He wasn't comfortable with that because of citizens who worked. Councilmember Tolmachoff pointed out that the meeting time had been changed from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. after she was first elected. She hadn't noticed any change in attendance with that change. Mayor Weiers had discussed it with staff and staff loved the idea. A happy staff made for a happy City.

ORDINANCE NO. 017-66 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA,AUTHORIZING THE ENTERING INTO OF A SUB-LEASE AGREEMENT WITH JQH-GLENDALE AZ DEVELOPMENT LLC ("JQH")AND THE CITY OF GLENDALE FOR SPACE AT THE MEDIA CENTER. Presented By: Tom Duensing,Assistant City Manager Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Duensing said the request was for Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into a sub-lease agreement with JQH-Glendale Az Development LLC for the lease of office space of approximately 6,200 square feet. The term of the agreement was through June 30, 2021 with an option to renew the agreement for an additional five years through June 30, 2026. The agreement was consistent with the arena management agreement with AEG. They were companion items. Mr. Duensing said staff had learned the proposed agreement was subject to a bankruptcy court hearing. He was asking Council to approve the agreement in substantial final form. Staff did anticipate three changes to the agreement: 1) it would be explicit that the agreement was subject to bankruptcy court approval; 2) early termination provision would be changed from 365 days to 90 days; and 3) lease term would be changed to require first lease payment due after bankruptcy court approval. Mr. Duensing said the companion item, agenda item 36, was a sublease with AEG to lease half of the space to AEG. AEG would pay approximately half of the lease costs to the City. Staff was also asking that the agreement be approved in substantial final form. The three changes enumerated above would also apply to the sublease. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if the lease payment amount was market rate. Mr. Duensing said staff believed it was below market rate. A portion of the payment would come back to the City because of the sublease with AEG. He said it would be funded through the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) bed tax fund. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked how much would be spent in tenant improvements. Michelle Woytenko, Field Operations Director, said final bid numbers had not yet been received but staff was using an allowance of$10 per square foot. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if there was money available in the CVB budget. City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 19 of 26 Mr. Duensing said there were funds available. Councilmember Turner asked if the changes needed to be referenced in the motion. Mr. Bailey said no reference was necessary. Mayor Weiers asked that a reference be made in the motion. A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Councilmember Jamie Aldama to adopt Ordinance No. 017-66, including the three referenced items and upon approval of the bankruptcy court. Councilmember Turner did not believe what was being proposed was the highest and best use for the space but he would support the motion.

ORDINANCE NO. 017-67 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE ENTERING INTO OF A SUB-LEASE AGREEMENT WITH AEG MANAGEMENT GLENDALE, LLC ("AEG")AND THE CITY OF GLENDALE FOR SPACE AT THE MEDIA CENTER. Presented By: Tom Duensing, Assistant City Manager Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Duensing said the item was a companion to agenda item 35. It was a request for Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into a sub-lease agreement with AEG Management Glendale, LLC. AEG was the current arena manager and was looking for space. The City would sublease one-half of the space to AEG. AEG would pay for approximately half of the tenant improvements. The terms were the same as those noted in agenda item 35. Mayor Weiers asked when the bankruptcy hearing was expected to happen and did the City have to wait until it was completed. Mr. Duensing said the hearing was expected to take place at the beginning of January. Staff had wanted to get Council's approval prior to the hearing so that the lease could be executed immediately following the hearing. Councilmember Turner preferred to have AEG located in the arena. If space opened up, was it possible to move AEG prior to the sublease expiring. City Council Meeting Minutes-December 12,2017 Page 20 of 26 Mr. Duensing said that was the reason for the early termination provision in the sublease. A motion was made by Councilmember Jamie Aldama, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 017-67. AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed 37.

Presented By: David Beard, City Engineer Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Beard requested that Council waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to approve a partial land acquisition at 5215 North 81st Drive in the amount not to exceed $220,000 (Land Acquisition -$200,000 &Closing and Escrow Charges-$20,000),for the North 83rd and Georgia Avenues Drainage Improvements project. Mr. Beard said the purpose of the North 83rd and Georgia Avenues Drainage project was to minimize localized flooding that occurred on the residential properties within the Emerald Point Subdivision by completing the design and construction of the recommended structures identified in the North 83rd Avenue and Georgia Avenue Preliminary Drainage Study intersection reconstruction and retention basin). A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 017-68. Councilmember Clark said the entire subdivision was subject to flooding and she was pleased that the project was being brought to completion. Councilmember Aldama said the residents had asked for mitigation and he was pleased that it was being addressed. Mayor Weiers recused himself from the vote because he had initially proposed that the City talk to the property owner. He didn't want anyone to think he had anything to do with the purchase price.

Mr. McAllen said the proposed resolution would amend Appendix B of the City Code, Community Development Fee Schedule,with an effective date of January 17, 2018. The new fee schedule would be in effect for all invoices/bills issued on or after January 17, 2018. Mr. McAllen said the Community Development Fee Schedule established the fees charged by the City for various plan review services, permits and inspections provided by the Building Safety, Engineering, Planning, Transportation, Fire and Utility Services departments. On August 12, 2014, City Council adopted Ordinance No 2901 which stated that the community development fees would be reviewed and approved by Council on an annual basis. The Community Development Fee Schedule was adjusted annually in accordance with the Consumer Price Index Urban Users (CPI-U) inflationary index. Building permit fees were adjusted annually in accordance with the International Code Council Building Valuation Data. The CPIU adjustment was 2.3%. Councilmember Clark asked if the hatch-marked fees on the chart provided were new fees. Mr. McAllen said it was a printing error. They were existing fees but the Excel document didn't spread out enough to show the fees.

When completed, BMW would employ approximately 150 to 200 employees and was expected to generate an average of$1 million annually in tax revenue. Mr. Friedman said pursuant to Glendale City Code, Chapter 2, Article I, Section 2-3, the City Council could waive community development fees as an economic development incentive upon finding that the waiver was in the best interest of the City of Glendale. The agreement had no direct expense to the City but would result in the City foregoing $150,000 of plan review, permit and inspection fees for the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the dealership. The waiver did not include development impact fees of$300,000, which the developer had agreed to pay in full.

As of this date, the project has not gone out for bids for development and will not until final plat has been approved by the city. 7 Viking Development, has only one additional development in Flagstaff, which is an apartment building. 8 Bill estimated an 85% likelihood of Campana Trails being an age restricted community. 9 Bill has expressed that should his bank approve the age restricted community, he will make every effort to market the property/lots as such for at least 18 months before having to possibly change the age restriction on the CC&R'S (as Declarant). 10 Linda provided a list to view of approximately 19 folks that showed an interest in Campana Trails that she is willing to put in a formal letter of acknowledgement to Bill so that he can provide this to his Banker. All individuals on that list are interested in an age restricted community. One of the Councilmembers (Lauren Tolmachoff) was a former banker and she feels that would go a long way with the financial institution and stressed to Bill to work with Linda on getting this information to his Banker. 13 All council members were impressed with Bill and felt his sincerity in keeping the age restricted requirement in place. The three that were in attendance said that there was nothing that Bill said that would lead them to not approve the project December 12, 2017. Conclusion & Recommendations: Bill stressed numerous times during the meeting that his intention is to present this project to his Banker as an age restricted community. We recommend the board and the Casa Campana Community Members take Bill at his word and support this project. The City Council meeting is December 12, 2017 at 6pm. We are #29 on the agenda. There is no need for a mass attendance at this point however we feel a few members of the community and/or board attend to show our support of this project.
