This purchase will provide new police officers with the appropriate radio equipment to allow them to communicate with other officers and the communications 5 center when responding to emergency and non-emergency calls for service. This meets with the Council goal of ensuring public safety and awareness. The City of Phoenix, using a competitive process, recently went out to bid for digital radio equipment for its new radio system. The specifications covered a wide variety of essential radio equipment for Motorola Project 25 Radio Systems. It was determined that the City of Phoenix's contract price is better then what Glendale is currently receiving. The Citywide Project 25 Digital Radio System was approved at a regular City Council meeting in June 2002. This equipment will allow Glendale officers to effectively communicate with the Police Department's Dispatch Center when responding to calls for service. The City of Glendale would like to purchase this needed radio equipment using the City of Phoenix Contract # P728805. The length of time for the initial award is two years with an option to extend the agreement for up to three years in one-year increments. Cooperative agreements are allowed by the City of Glendale Purchasing ordinance, section 2.149 Account Name, Fund, Account and Line Item Number: Law Enforcement Block Grant Funds, 47-7903-7400 - $37,580.58 Police Department Support Services Budget, 01-3250-7330 - $37,580.57 It was the recommendation to approve the purchase of 17 radios from Motorola using the City of Phoenix Contract number P728805 in an amount not to exceed $250,000.

This is a request for the City Council to approve the entering into of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Maricopa County Department of Transportation for the development of cooperative procedures, protocols, assistance and utilization of specialized county traffic management equipment Intergovernmental agreements like this help strengthen community relationships, create new partnerships and leverage resources. The IGA is designed to assist city and county officials in mitigating and investigating traffic incidents regarding transportation accidents, fire, medical emergencies, criminal investigations and other types of emergency situations. 6 This agreement is beneficial for joint purchasing, communications coordination, training, health and safety, public education and other activities that enhance the quality of life for city and county residents. The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Maricopa County for emergency Traffic Management Mutual Aid. Resolution No. 3736 New Series was read by number and title only, it being A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE ENTERING INTO OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE MARICOPA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR EMERGENCY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MUTUAL AID.

The motion carried unanimously. LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTION 10. APPEAL OF APPLICATION NO. VAR03-20: TIMOTHY SCHWARTZ RESIDENCE, 5603 NORTH 46th LANE Mr. John Verdugo, Planner, presented this item. Mr. Jon Paladini, Interim City Attorney, advised Council that a public hearing will not be held as the Council is not allowed to hear new testimony. He said, while the applicant will be given five minutes to address the Council, no new information may be presented. This is a request by Mr. Timothy Schwartz to consider an appeal of the Board of Adjustment's denial of Variance Application VAR03-20. The variance request will reduce the required side yard setback from 10 feet to 0 feet. The property is a flat rectangular shaped lot. It is approximately 70 feet wide and 100 feet deep with an area of 7,000 square feet. It is a corner lot that fronts onto 46th Lane and sides onto San Juan Avenue. The applicant wishes to maintain a partially constructed RV shade structure that is attached to the garage and extends to the north 7 property line. It measures approximately 111 feet wide by 19 feet deep. The structural framework was constructed without first obtaining City approval or a building permit. The applicant was cited by Code Compliance for construction without a building permit. City records do not indicate any similar variance requests in the area. On October 16, 2003, the applicant sent notification letters to 21 property owners and interested parties. One letter was received in opposition to the request. On December 11, 2003, the Board of Adjustment conducted a public hearing. The Board of Adjustment denied the request after determining that it did not meet all the required findings established by the Arizona State Statutes and the Glendale Zoning Ordinance. The recommendation was to review the record of the Board of Adjustment, consider the applicant's appeal, and based upon evidence before the Board of Adjustment act to affirm or reverse, in whole or in part, or modify the Board of Adjustment's decision. Upon Councilmember Martinez's request, Mr. Verdugo reviewed the required findings. Councilmember Goulet asked if the summaries following each of the required findings were the findings of staff or the Board. Mr. Verdugo explained staff made a report to the Board and the Board agreed with staff's recommendation. He confirmed the summaries were written by staff. Counclimember Goulet asked if each of the findings were reviewed with the Applicant at the Board hearing. Mr. Verdugo stated he made a point by point review of each of the findings. He confirmed any possible remedies would have been explored by the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Timothy Schwartz, Applicant, pointed out he paid $400 to appeal at the Council hearing, stating he does not believe he should be limited to five minutes. Upon Mayor Scruggs' request, Mr. Paladini clarified the purpose of the appeal is for Council to review the record of the Board of Adjustment hearing. He stated Council has a verbatim transcript of the testimony given at the hearing as well as copies of all exhibits. He explained Mr. Schwartz's comments should be limited to summarizing what occurred during the Board of Adjustment hearing on this issue. Mr. Schwartz claimed he was promised a seven member Board of Adjustment would review his case, stating, in fact, two members were absent. He said the residents who spoke on his behalf were not fairly represented in the transcripts. He noted a United States Congressman contacted the Council's office. Mayor Scruggs interrupted Mr. Schwartz's comments, calling a recess to allow Mr. Schwartz an opportunity to consult with the City Attorney as to proper procedures. 8 Mayor Scruggs recessed for a short break then reconvened the meeting. Mr. Schwartz said he understands the four required findings and believes they are very difficult to meet. He stated certain circumstances should allow for exceptions, noting one person at the Board of Adjustment meeting was granted a variance on the night of his hearing. Mr. Schwartz said he circulated a petition and gathered signatures from everyone who lives on his street, all of whom supported his request and 13 of which wrote letters to that effect. He acknowledged that he did not obtain permission prior to building the structure, stating, however, 91 people in a neighborhood of just over 400 houses have structures built to their property lines. He said, therefore, he believes it would be difficult for the city to argue that his structure will negatively impact property values in the neighborhood. He said it would be a different story if he was trying to build something that was atypical for the neighborhood, but he does not believe that to be the case. He asked the Council to consider the fact that all of his neighbors have signed his petition and 13 submitted letters indicating they have no issues with the structure. He expressed his opinion extenuating circumstances exist given the number of similar structure that already exist in the neighborhood. Councilmember Clark asked Mr. Schwartz to comment on the four required findings. Mr. Schwartz said he was not clear on the first finding regarding special circumstances. He explained the intent of the structure was to provide shade for his RV. He said he has consulted a number of people in the City of Phoenix and believes the City of Glendale will find a way to use the findings against anyone for whom they do not want to approve a variance. He stated his vehicles have been vandalized and burgled five times in the last three and a half years. He said the structure is also intended to secure and protect his RV. Councilmember Clark said she believes the photographs Mr. Schwartz submitted showing other properties in the neighborhood with similar structures were intended to address Finding 2. She asked Mr. Schwartz if any other options were considered that would allow him to accommodate his RV. Mr. Schwartz said he made it clear to Mr. Verdugo that he would be willing to modify the structure to gain the city's approval, noting he already reduced the structure's height. Mr. Paladini cautioned against expanding the scope of the record by dealing with other possible solutions. Mayor Scruggs called for another recess to obtain further direction from legal counsel then reconvened the meeting. Councilmember Clark referenced paragraph two on page two of the verbatim transcript, asking Mr. Schwartz if the structure could be placed in the back yard. Mr. Schwartz said his next door neighbor stated he would prefer the structure be in its present location rather than in his back yard. He stated the structure is currently situated between his house and the house next door, whereas it would be visible from San Miguel if it were moved to his back yard. Councilmember Clark asked Mr. Schwartz if his neighbor to the north supported his application. Mr. Schwartz said the 9 owners of the house signed his petition, however, he they did not submit a letter to that effect. Councilmember Martinez asked if the applicant would still need a variance if the structure was moved to his back yard Mr. Verdugo responded no, stating, however, a building permit would be required. It was moved by Eggleston, and seconded by Frate, to affirm the decision of the Board of Adjustment that Application No. VAR03-20 does not meet any of the required findings. Councilmember Clark explained, in an appeal situation, the Council sits as a quasi-judicial group and, as such, is limited to reviewing the record of the Board hearing. She said the first finding is the most important in her opinion and she does not view the desire for shade for an RV structure as a special circumstance, especially when there are otheroptions for locating the structure elsewhere in the yard. She acknowledged other homes in the neighborhood have similar structures, stating however, it would not be right to continue to allow illegal structures on that basis. She said, therefore, she will affirm the Board of Adjustment's decision. Councilmember Lieberman said he has been by the applicant's house several times, both before he constructed the structure and during its construction. He said he has not talked with Mr. Schwartz, however, some of his neighbors have discussed the issue with him. He expressed his opinion the Board's decision should stand. Upon a call for the question, the motion carried unanimously. BIDS AND CONTRACTS 11. AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT - 67TH AVENUE FROM ISABELL LANE TO PINNACLE PEAK ROAD Mr. Craig Johnson, Assistant City Engineer, presented this item. This is a request for the City Council to award a contract to Combs Construction Company Inc. for the construction of street improvements to 67th Avenue between Isabel) Lane and Pinnacle Peak Road. One of the Council's priorities is to improve transportation options in the city. Improvements to 67th Avenue, between Isabel) Lane and Pinnacle Peak Road, will improve an existing two-lane street to a four-lane street with dual turn lanes into Mountain Ridge High School. Sixty-seventh Avenue provides one of only three north south corridors for the traveling public to cross from the Loop 101 to the northerly portions of Glendale and Phoenix. Over the years, this roadway has been improved to the four-lane arterial 10 street section as shown on the general plan. The entrance into Mountain Ridge High School has been a major traffic restriction because the roadway only has two lanes and high traffic turning movements block the through travel lanes. Part of this project will be to provide dual left turn lanes and two through lanes in each direction. A wide pedestrian/bicycle lane will be constructed adjacent to the park as was approved by the voters in the half-cent sales tax in November 2001. The Citizens Transportation Oversight Commission took action on January 2, 2003 to recommend the use of Glendale On Board sales tax to fund the design and construction of this project. The professional services agreement with Stanley Consultants was approved by Council March 11, 2003. At that time, funds were transferred to facilitate the design and construction administration of the project. On February 24, 2004, five bids were received and opened. Combs Construction Company Inc., a qualified licensed contractor, submitted the lowest bid in the amount of $1,628,500.32. The proposed road project will complete the street construction between Isabel) Lane and Pinnacle Peak Road including turn lanes, improved access into Thunderbird Park, landscape and street light improvements. The project also realigns Pinnacle Peak Road to provide an improved configuration as requested by the citizens at a public meeting held in the area. A public meeting for this project was held on September 17, 2003 to discuss the project with the citizens in the area. The alignment with Pinnacle Peak Road was revised as a result of the public meeting. Funds for the construction are available in the Fiscal Year 2003-04 Capital Improvement Plan budget. To facilitate payment to the contractor, funds in the amount of $1,472,825.95 will need to be transferred from Intersection Improvements, Account No. 25-9448-8300, into Street Improvements, 67th Avenue Isabel). Lane to Pinnacle Peak Road, Account No. 25-9461-8300.

He confirmed vehicles will not be able to cross Thunderbird Park to access 59th Avenue. He clarified the road will end at Parkside Lane and Pinnacle Peak. Mayor Scruggs opened the public hearing on Agenda Item No. 3. Mr. Leonard Clark, a resident of the City of Glendale Barrel District, said he supports the proposed action, although he will miss the orange orchards. Mayor Scruggs closed the public hearing. Councilmember Martinez thanked Mr. Larry Broyles, City Engineer, city staff , the Citizens Transportation Advisory Commission and citizens who attended the public meetings for moving the project. He said the improvements have been needed for a long time. It was moved by Martinez and seconded by Frate, to approve the construction contract with Combs Construction Company Inc. in the amount of $1,628,500.32. The motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING — ORDINANCES 12. REQUEST TO TABLE — ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT Z-02-31 (PROTECTED DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS PLAN) It was moved by Lieberman and seconded by Clark to table item No. 12 to a date uncertain. The motion carried unanimously. This is a request by the Planning Commission for the City Council to amend the Zoning Ordinance to provide for a protected development rights plan option that is consistent with Arizona State requirements. An applicant that requests a protected development rights plan would complete various levels of design review and construction plan approval prior to approval of the rezoning. This allows the rezoning approval to guarantee building footprint, square footage, building height, parking requirements and infrastructure improvements. The approval would be for three years for a single-phase project and up to five years for a multi-phase project. The text amendment is required to meet previously approved state legislation that requires all local jurisdictions to provide a defined process for granting a protected development rights plan through the rezoning process. The concepts of protected development rights plans have been an option that some jurisdictions offered since 1994. Due to the costs and lack of flexibility in the process it is not anticipated that the option will be used by applicants on a regular basis. 12 A Citizen Participation process for the text amendment was completed. On January 9, 2004, letters were sent to the citywide interested parties list and Valley Partnership. No specific comments or responses to the text amendment were received. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the text amendment at their February 19, 2004 meeting. The Commission unanimously recommended approval. The recommendation was that the City Council will need to take formal action to table this item. 13. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT ZTA03-01 (BIG BOX SIGNAGE) Mr. Jon Froke, Planning Director, presented this item. This is a request by Boice Raidl Rhea (BRR) Architects, Inc. for the City Council to amend the Zoning Ordinance to increase the amount of wall signage to 600 square feet for big box retail uses of 150,000 square feet or larger. The amendment would also increase the number of modifiers to five to identify and describe principal services provided within the business, such as pharmacy, tire and lube express, or food center. The City Council previously established the existing big-box conditional use permit requirements to provide direction for larger single retail users. This amendment is a request for the largest of big box retailers to provide additional wall signage. The text amendment is a request by BRR Architects, Inc. who provides design services to Wal-Mart Stores. The continued growth of superstores has resulted in the request for more wall signage for the largest of single retail users. The amendment limits the maximum size of any one sign to 200 square feet. Staff believes that adequate identification can be accomplished with 450 feet. The largest individual sign area would be used for the business name with the balance of the area to be used for the five modifiers that identify other store services. Any wall signage within 150 feet of residential zoning could not be illuminated. The City Council previously approved wall signs up to 450 square feet in the Zanjero and Westgate PAD rezoning cases. A citizen participation process for the text amendment was completed. On August 25, 2003, letters were sent to the citywide interested parties list and Valley Partnership. No specific comments or responses to the text amendment were received. The Planning Commission reviewed the text amendment at two workshops on November 13, 2003 and February 12, 2004. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the text amendment at their February 19, 2004 meeting and recommended denial of the applicant's request as filed. The recommendation was to conduct a public hearing and adopt the ordinance approving text amendment ZTA-03-01 with a maximum of 450 square feet of wall signage. 13 Ordinance No. 2372 New Series was read by number and title only, it being AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, ARIZONA, ARTICLE 7 (GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS), SECTION 7.100 RELATING TO SIGNS. Mr. Froke confirmed for Councilmember Clark that the text amendment was not staff initiated. Councilmember Clark asked if every big box user would be allowed to retrofit their signs if the amendment is approved. Mr. Froke responded yes, if the retailer was 150,000 square feet or larger, pointing out, however, a master sign package would first have to be submitted for review. In response to Vice Mayor Eggleston's question, Mr. Froke explained the Commission reviewed the applicant's request in two workshops and was ultimately unwilling to approve the request for 650 square feet of wall signage. Vice Mayor Eggleston asked how the city previously approved the Westgate signage. Mr. Froke explained the applicant, by way of staff review and Planning Commission and Council approval, can deviate from the zoning ordinance standards by way of the PAD zoning process. He said the proposed text amendment would apply to the SC, C-1, NSC, C-2, C-3, BP, M-1 , M-2 and PAD zoning districts. Vice Mayor Eggleston asked if big box signage could be considered on a case-by-case basis if the request for amendment is denied. Mr. Froke explained a PAD zoning mechanism would be the only way in which an applicant could deviate from the signage ordinance unless a sign variance was requested by the applicant. Vice Mayor Eggleston asked if the signage for the Wal- Mart at Northern Crossing meets the current standard. Mr. Froke responded yes. Councilmember Martinez asked if the Commission discussed approving a square footage that, although lower than the applicant requested, would be higher than the current standard. Mr. Froke stated yes, and he explained staff presented the application as filed at the Commission's first workshop and the discussion focused on the Commission's concern that the applicant's request would virtually triple the size of the signage. Mr. Froke confirmed for Councilmember Goulet that the text amendment relates only to wall signage. He said freestanding signage would be addressed through a variance or a PAD zoning exercise. Mayor Scruggs asked if a big box user and a convenience store get the same amount of signage under the current ordinance. Mr. Froke answered yes, explaining the text amendment would allow big box users over 150,000 square feet to have twice the signage. He noted the text amendment would prevent tenants from using the entire 450 square feet in one sign. He stated illuminated signage would also not be allowed on the side of a building if it is within 150 feet of a residentially zoned property. Mayor Scruggs said she is most surprised by the fact that a convenience store and a 150,000 square foot big box user get the same amount of signage under the current ordinance. 14 Councilmember Martinez asked if the applicant has agreed to the 450 square feet being recommended by staff. Mr. Froke said the applicant has indicated his client will agree to the 450 square foot limitation. Councilmember Frate asked if other cities have a similar sign ordinance. Mr. Froke said Glendale has more restrictive signage than most cities. Mr. Michael Semrick, Applicant's representative, reiterated the amendment would only apply to single retail uses in excess of 150,000 square feet. He pointed out smaller stores with 200 square feet of signage will have a higher percentage of building coverage than a big box store with 450 square feet of signage. He said the amendment is not intended to give big box stores an unfair advantage. He explained the current ordinance does not take larger developments into consideration and the amendment will allow tenants to safely and conveniently identify their services, noting signage cannot be related to advertising and must be used to direct customers to a particular service. He showed examples of signage under the current ordinance and the proposed amendment. Vice Mayor Eggleston asked if the 450 square feet of signage relates only to the building's frontage. Mr. Semrick responded yes. Mayor Scruggs opened the public hearing on Agenda Item Number 13. Mr. Leonard Clark, a resident of the City of Glendale Barrel District, said he is torn on this issue, but can see the extenuating circumstances involved and can support the request. He encouraged developers to be supportive of extenuating circumstances brought forward by residents. Mayor Scruggs closed the public hearing. It was moved by Goulet, and seconded by Lieberman, to approve Ordinance No. 2372 New Series with a maximum of 450 square feet of wall signage. Councilmember Martinez said, while he does not typically vote to overturn a Commission decision, the Commission in this case considered an increase to 600 square feet. He expressed his opinion the increase to 450 square feet makes sense since it will only apply to big box stores over 150,000 square feet. Vice Mayor Eggleston agreed the proposed increase is reasonable. Councilmember Clark said she does not believe west Glendale should have an unfair advantage, referring to the increased signage approved for the Zanjero development. She said, therefore, she will support the text amendment. 15 Councilmember Goulet said, given the limitations on the size of the development that would qualify for the increased signage, he will support the motion. Mayor Scruggs expressed her opinion the text amendment recognizes changing business conditions, follows the trend of more business friendly ordinances, and includes adequate controls to prevent misuse. She said, furthermore, she cannot understand why a convenience store and 150,000 square foot big box user should be held to the same amount of signage. She supported the motion. Upon a call for the question, the motion carried on a roll call vote, with the following Councilmembers voting "aye": Clark, Goulet, Lieberman, Eggleston, Martinez, Frate and Scruggs. Members voting "nay": none. ORDINANCE 14. SALE OF MUNICIPAL PROPERTY CORPORATION EXCISE TAX REVENUE BONDS Mr. Art Lynch, Chief Financial Officer, presented this item. This is a request for the City Council to adopt an ordinance authorizing the city's Chief Financial Officer to accept bids to be received for the sale of City of Glendale Municipal Property Corporation ("MPC") Excise Tax Revenue Bonds Series 2004A (the "2004A Bonds") in an amount not to exceed $13,000,000. The purpose of this transaction is to refinance the outstanding portions of Improvement District #57 and #59 Bonds. If approved, the ordinance will also authorize the execution of a supplement to the lease agreement with the MPC. The bonds will be secured through this ground lease with the city as well as pledged city excise tax revenues. This transaction will help maintain financial strength and flexibility by providing interest rate savings and other cash flow benefits to the city. Improvement District #57 and #59 Bonds (the "ID Bonds") were issued in 1992 to finance infrastructure associated with the Arrowhead Towne Center Mall. In 1992, the city entered into an agreement with Westcor, the developer of the mall, wherein it was agreed the city would rebate a portion of the sales tax revenues generated by the mall to Westcor to make the assessment payments. Since the mall has been very successful, the rebated sales tax payments have been more than sufficient to make the ongoing assessment payments. The recommendation was to waive reading beyond title and adopt an ordinance authorizing the city's Chief Financial Officer to accept bids to be received for the sale of MPC 2004A Bonds in an amount not to exceed $13,000,000, authorizing the execution of a supplement to the lease agreement with the MPC, and declaring an emergency. 16 Mr. Lynch confirmed for Councilmember Clark that they want to issue Municipal Property Corporation bonds in an amount not to exceed $13 million. He explained funds will be used to pay off outstanding improvement district bonds, which are currently at a six percent interest rate. He said today's favorable market conditions will allow them to issue the bonds at an interest rate of less than four percent. Councilmember Clark asked what is happening to the $5 million in the City Sales Tax Rebate account. Mr. Lynch explained those funds are a reserve for special assessment bonds and staff is recommending they be reflected as reserve for the MPC bonds. He said the city will then be allowed to eliminate all of the clauses that require reserve funds to be withheld from the sales taxes paid from the mall operations. Councilmember Clark asked if the $5 million could be released and used for other purposes. Mr. Lynch explained the funds would be moved into the Municipal Property Corporation Debt Service Bond reserve account for security and bonding purposes. Councilmember Lieberman pointed out issuing the new bonds will save the city $900,000 over the ten year life of the original improvement district bonds. In response to Mayor Scruggs' question, Mr. Lynch explained the bonds will be issued at the end of April or in early May of this year and payments will begin in FY 2004/05. He said the bonds will be paid off at the same time the original bonds would have been paid off, 2014. He estimated the net present value of sales tax that would have been held in reserve over the next ten years to total $6.5 million. Mayor Scruggs clarified that the city is not taking on additional debt and that the new issuance will allow the city to better manage the debt at a lower interest rate. She asked what the interest will be on the new bonds. Mr. Lynch said the current rate is between 3.3 and 3.8 percent. Councilmember Lieberman asked why they are not using the additional sales tax money to accelerate repayment of the debt. Mr. Lynch said the extra income has been built into paying off the bonds, explaining payoff of the bonds is scheduled to occur at the optimal time. Mayor Scruggs opened the public hearing on Agenda Item No. 14. As there were no comments, Mayor Scruggs closed the public hearing. Ordinance No. 2373 New Series was read by number and title only, it being AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, (1) AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A SIXTH SUPPLEMENT TO SERIES 1999 LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF GLENDALE MUNICIPAL PROPERTY CORPORATION RELATING TO THE REFINANCING OF CERTAIN INFRASTRUCTURE; (2) PLEDGING CERTAIN EXCISE TAXES AND RECEIPTS IMPOSED OR RECEIVED BY THE CITY; (3) APPROVING THE FORM OF AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING WITH RESPECT TO THE HEREINAFTER MENTIONED SERIES 2004A BONDS; (4) APPROVING THE FORM 17 OF AND REQUESTING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY CITY OF GLENDALE MUNICIPAL PROPERTY CORPORATION OF A SERIES 2004 SIXTH SUPPLEMENTAL TRUST INDENTURE AND SERIES 2004A BONDS AND SUCH SIXTH SUPPLEMENT TO SERIES 1999 LEASE AGREEMENT; (5) DELEGATING TO THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE CITY THE AUTHORITY TO DESIGNATE THE FINAL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT, MATURITIES, INTEREST RATES AND OTHER MATTERS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SERIES 2004A BONDS; (6) AUTHORIZING THE TAKING OF ALL OTHER ACTIONS NECESSARY TO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS ORDINANCE; AND (7) DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. It was moved by Frate, and seconded by Martinez, to approve Ordinance No. 2373 New Series. Motion carried on a roll call vote, with the following Councilmembers voting "aye": Clark, Goulet, Lieberman, Eggleston, Martinez, Frate and Scruggs. Members voting "nay": none. RESOLUTIONS 15. CANVASS OF VOTE RESOLUTION MARCH 9, 2004 PRIMARY ELECTION Ms. Pamela Hanna, City Clerk, presented this item. This is a request for the City Council to adopt a resolution adopting the canvass of vote for the March 9, 2004 Primary Election. It is required by A.R.S.16-642 that "the governing body holding an election shall canvass the election not less than six days nor more than 15 days following the election." The March 9, 2004 Primary Election has three city council seats, Sahuaro, Cactus, and Yucca and the mayor's seat on the ballot. The March 9, 2004 Primary Election was called by the City Council on July 22, 2003 and noticed in February 10, 2004. The recommendation was to adopt the Canvass of Votes Resolution for the March 9, 2004 Primary Election. Resolution No. 3737 New Series was read by number and title only, it being A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, DECLARING AND ADOPTING THE RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION HELD ON MARCH 9, 2004; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION BE RECORDED. It was moved by Clark, and seconded by Frate, to approve Resolution No. 3737 New Series. The motion carried unanimously. 16. RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO INCREASE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES 18 Mr. Roger Bailey, Utilities Director, presented this item. This is a request for the City Council to approve a resolution stating the city's intent to increase development impact fees (DIF) and to set a public hearing date. Development impact fees (DIF) are one-time charges to developers that are used to offset the costs of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) necessary for new development. Consultant Black & Veatch prepared an updated report on the city's water and sewer DIF. Their update utilized the methodology established by Tischler and Associates, Inc. in the comprehensive fee study completed in 2001. Based upon the February 4, 2004, Black & Veatch evaluation, it is recommended that water and sewer development impact fees be increased. The DIF report documents the cost of water and sewer facilities to maintain current levels of service while accommodating new development, and proposes changes to the current DIF. Revenue from the proposed changes will cover the capital costs associated with growth. Water and sewer DIF are necessary so that the city can expand and improve its facilities to serve new growth. The DIF on new development is used to finance costs related to additional capacity. In 1994, the City of Glendale undertook an impact fee study that was completed and implemented on February 1, 1997. Again in 1999, the City undertook an impact fee study that was completed and implemented on September 25, 2000. In July 2001, Tischler & Associates completed its review of the previous study and made recommendations for expanding the fees to cover the actual cost of development to the city. Council reviewed the recommendations on June 5, 2001, held a public hearing on September 25, 2001. The last increase in water and sewer DIF was January 10, 2002. In 2003, consultant Black & Veatch completed another water and sewer development impact fee study. Following a series of council workshops from October to December 2003, wherein the Black & Veatch report and recommendations were presented, the city council directed staff to begin the process to implement the new DIF structure. By implementing the new DIF, the city will be able to maintain its current level of service to existing residents and support future growth. The recommendation was to waive reading beyond title and adopt a resolution stating the city's intent to increase development impact fees and setting the public hearing date of May 25, 2004. 19 Mayor Scruggs opened the public hearing on Agenda Item No. 16. As there were no comments, Mayor Scruggs closed the public hearing. Resolution No. 3738 New Series was read by number and title only, it being A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, ADOPTING THIS NOTICE OF INTENTION TO INCREASE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES; SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED INCREASE; AND FILING A WRITTEN REPORT SUPPORTING THE PROPOSED INCREASE WITH THE CITY CLERK. It was moved by Goulet, and seconded by Clark, to approve Resolution No. 3738 New Series. The motion carried unanimously. 17. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT OF MARICOPA COUNTY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-USE PATH ALONG NEW RIVER Mr. R.J. Cardin, Deputy Director Parks and Recreation Department presented this item. This is a request for the City Council to approve the entering into of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Maricopa Flood Control District (MCFCD) to develop a multi-use pathway along the New River corridor. This easementfurthers meets the Parks and Recreation Master Plan recommended level of service for trails and open space development. This also supports the Glendale On Board Transportation Plan for improving multimodal transportation opportunities. The MCFCD constructed the New River levee project to control floodwaters in the New River and continues to own real property adjacent to the levees for access for maintenance and operation of the levee. The city desires to have use of this real property for development of a multi-use transportation pathway and recreational facilities along the New River. The quality of life will be enhanced and recreational opportunities increased for Glendale residents. Public meetings and input were used to develop both the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and the Glendale On Board Plan. No impacts will result from adoption of this IGA. Future maintenance and development costs of a New River Trail System will be part of the normal budget process. 20 The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Flood Control District of Maricopa County. Resolution No. 3739 New Series was read by number and title only, it being A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE ENTERING INTO OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR AN EASEMENT FOR RECREATIONAL USE WITH THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT OF MARICOPA COUNTY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-USE PATHWAY AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES ALONG THE NEW RIVER THAT ABUT OR ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE GLENDALE CITY LIMITS. It was moved by Clark, and seconded by Martinez, to approve Resolution No. 3739 New Series. The motion carried unanimously. REQUEST FOR FUTURE WORKSHOP AND EXECUTIVE SESSION It was moved by Eggleston, and seconded by Frate, to hold a Special City Council Budget Workshop at 1:30 p.m. in Room B-3 of the City Council building on Tuesday, March 30, 2004, to be followed by an Executive Session pursuant to A.R.S. 38-431.03.

The motion carried unanimously. CITIZEN COMMENTS Mayor Scruggs asked Mr. Beasley to make a statement with regard to the plan of action concerning the disposition of the Baptist Church. Mr. Beasley said staff is preparing a white paper to provide historical information on the downtown campus and to set forth the criteria that must be met to establish a historic building. He clarified the criteria are not at the discretion of the city or staff. He said the whitepaper will also address the sentimental factor, and recognize that the Baptist Church has been given permission to retain certain items from the building. He said the financial impact will also be addressed in the whitepaper, explaining why the property was purchased, what the city expects in terms of a fiscal return, and the feasibility of refurbishing the structure given its current condition. He said the city provided 21 information to the public through a series of meetings and public hearings and the action was approved by the citizens of Glendale. Mr. Leonard Clark, a resident of the City of Glendale Barrel District, said he appreciates that some of the Council have expressed that their minds and hearts are still open. He said every city has signature streets, lined with specialty shops, restaurants and quaint homes. He said they are also home to many beautiful old churches. He asked the Council to show mercy for the Baptist Church, stating residents throughout the city care about its future. He said, while some have equated the church with having the importance of an old pair of shoes, he believes most people understand its history and importance to the city. He pointed out those who want the church saved have agreed to allow the newer part of the church to be torn down, affording the city 90 percent of the parking spaces it originally planned. He said churches were a significant part of Glendale's history and should be preserved. Mr. David McPherson, a resident of the City of Glendale Barrel District, stated over 400 citizens signed a petition to stop the demolition of the 1928 Calvary Church sanctuary. He said he believes other alternatives exist that will save tax payers money, help return money to the General Fund and revitalize the downtown area. He said, while he is asking the city to save the old sanctuary, he agrees the remainder of the property is suitable for a parking lot. He said the City Council showed its concern for historic preservation when it adopted the Historic Preservation Plan, pointing out one of the goals of the plan is to preserve all old buildings of a historic nature in the downtown area. He said he and all those who have signed the petitions believe the church to be of historic value to the community and worthy of restoration. He said another stated goal in the plan is to prepare a plan of action that will be utilized for properties threatened with demolition and actively seek alternatives during the demolition delay period. He suggested using Heritage Grant Fund monies or selling the property to a private owner. He urged the Council to be diligent in its efforts to seek alternatives to the demolition of the church. Ms. Rosemary Cabrera, a resident of the City of Glendale Ocotillo District, asked the Council to preserve the entire church, including the new sanctuary. She said she and her husband have worked alongside the church in Hispanic ministry for nine years and believe they have made a positive impact on the community. She acknowledged problems with vandalism and gangs, stating they have done what they can to work with gang members and families. She said it would be a shame and dishonor to take land dedicated to God and turn it into a parking lot. Pastor Emilio Cabrera, a resident of the City of Glendale Ocotillo District, said he was called to ministry to work in the Glendale community. He said they currently have 450 members, 300 of which live in the Ocotillo District area. He commented on the people who have had their lives, their marriages and their families restored as a result of the efforts of the church. He characterized the church as a lighthouse and a place of refuge and hope. He acknowledged the difficulties plagued by the neighborhood, stating that is why he wants to continue his ministry in the neighborhood. He urged the 22 Council to preserve the church, suggesting it be turned into a community center or other facility that would help transform the lives of the people who live in the neighborhood. Mr. Ed Sharpe, Director and Lead Archivist at Southwest Museum of Engineering, Communications and Computation, asked the Council to consider his comments a Declaration of Intent to purchase the Baptist Church, in whole or in part, located at 58th Avenue and Palmaire Avenue and/or the building referred to as the old Glendale Adult Center. He explained they have a technology museum project that would make great use of one or more of the buildings, resulting in revenue to the city from the sale of the property and not having to demolish the buildings as well as an enhancement of culture in the downtown area. He said, while refurbishing an old building is a large undertaking, the museum effort with the help of interested professionals and engineers makes restoration of the building quite feasible. He stated they welcome the opportunity to discuss the logistics of transferring ownership and the purchase price. He expressed his opinion that their project will greatly enhance the public perception of Glendale. Ms. Joanne Burgmann Griffis, a resident of the City of Glendale, said the church is not only a historic site in Glendale, but a cultural heritage for her family. She noted her Grandparents raised their children at the church, with her father and mother married in the sanctuary. She said she and her three siblings were baptized and solidified their faith at the church. She stated her daughter became angry and confused over the demolition of the church, feeling nothing lasts and nobody values anything beyond their own wants and desires. She said the community has done little to deter children from becoming insensitive self-serving adults in the past decades. She expressed concern about the future of the city and its citizens because young adults are being taught complacency and disregard with relation to familial and congregate references. Ms. Yvonne Knaack, a resident of the City of Glendale Barrel District, acknowledged the emotion involved in tearing down an old building. She said, however, it is not economically feasible to keep the building intact and the property will best serve the city as a parking lot. She said the additional parking will encourage more visitors to come to Downtown Glendale and attend the city's events. She said she has a vested interest in Downtown Glendale and wants to see it grow and thrive. Ms. Sue Ferrell, a resident of the City of Glendale Cactus District, addressed the Council concerning the Glendale Springs Condominium project on 47th Avenue, stating no construction has occurred on the buildings in the past four weeks. She said she was initially concerned that the buildings would either never be rented or construction would never actually be completed. She stated the project is a blight to their neighborhood and a fire hazard. She asked if the city imposes penalties for uncompleted construction and if there is a deadline for completion of the project. She asked Council to investigate why construction has stopped. She also spoke about the city's notification process, stating she does not receive notifications because she does not receive a water bill. She said she and many other residents pay their water bill as part of their homeowner's association assessments and suggested the city use the Glendale 23 Connection database when notifying residents. She also suggested the Council meetings be reconfigured to allow the Citizen Comments portion to come at the beginning of the meeting. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS Councilmember Clark congratulated Ms. Joy Knight on her promotion and welcomed Ms. Brenda Urias and Mr. Perry Baker as new Council assistants. She announced the Arena Traffic meeting will be held tomorrow night at Desert Mirage Elementary School. Councilmember Lieberman also congratulated Ms. Knight, stating she will be sorely missed. He said the balloon race will be held this weekend, noting it has been moved back to the Glendale Airport. He also encouraged everyone to attend the Juried Art Show at Sahuaro Ranch Park. Councilmember Martinez said each councilmember has a small discretionary fund. Last year he used these funds to partner with the Fire Department to offer CPR classes. This year, he will be doing the same and noted classes will be offered now through June. Councilmember Frate stated he toured the Barry Goldwater Range last Friday and saw first hand its vast expanse. He said Luke's mission at Goldwater Range is unparalleled and a true asset to national defense. He urged everyone to watch children around water. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m. - St Pamela Hanna— City Clerk 24
