As an officially recognized Weed and Seed site, Orchard Glen Weed and Seed
is one of 176 across the nation. The Weed and Seed strategy is a two-pronged
approach to crime control and prevention. Law enforcement and prosecutors
cooperate in "weeding out" criminals while "seeding" brings prevention, intervention,
treatment, and neighborhood revitalization services.
The Weed and Seed Strategy addresses Council's goal of ensuring public
safety.
In an effort to revitalize the neighborhood, the Orchard Glen Neighborhood
Association was established in 1999 to work in conjunction with the City Center Master
Plan, The Association applied for official Weed and Seed recognition from the U.S.
Department of Justice Community Capacity Development Office. This recognition
provides access to funding from federal and state governments, allowing for the
redevelopment of the neighborhood by implementing the four core strategies; law
enforcement, community policing, prevention/intervention/treatment, and neighborhood
restoration. For each of these four core strategies, an activity or program was
developed to assist in accomplishing the established goals.
The Weed and Seed Strategy is part of a continuing effort between the city, the
Police Department, the Orchard Glen Neighborhood Association and the U.S.
Department of Justice. This funding provides for overtime, equipment and educational
materials to address law enforcement and community policing issues, as well as
prevention, intervention and treatment through school programs and neighborhood
restoration.
In 2003, the Council and staff attended numerous meetings and provided input
along with community residents, local businesses, school officials, and agencies
serving the neighborhood to gain insight into what they believed the strengths and
weaknesses of the community were and develop goals and objectives. Orchard Glen
was previously awarded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and
general fund grants totaling $791,345.
This grant will assist in implementing the four core Weed and Seed Strategies for
the Orchard Glen Neighborhood. Many benefits will be gained by "weeding out" the
criminals who participate in violent crime, drugs and blight and "seeding" in basic
human services that encompasses prevention, intervention and treatment, and
neighborhood revitalization.
This funding provides for overtime, equipment, and educational materials to
address law enforcement and community policing issues as well as prevention,
intervention, and treatment through school programs and neighborhood restoration.

BIDS AND CONTRACTS
13. UPGRADE POLICE DIGITAL VOICE RECORDING SYSTEM
Acting Police Chief Preston Becker presented this item.
This is a request for the City Council to approve the purchase of software and
equipment from RTAs Systems for the upgrade of the police digital voice recording
8
system currently used in the Police Department. This system allows officers to use a
telephone to call the digital voice recording system and dictate their criminal and/or
accident reports.
RTAs Systems is a sole source vendor for the software and equipment required
to upgrade the Police Department's current system that was purchased approximately
10 years ago from this vendor. Due to the RTAs Systems proprietary equipment we
currently own, RTAs Systems is the only vendor that can provide this upgrade. This
equipment will provide an increase in storage space for dictation from 40 hours to 400
hours; an increase in port (line capability) from 12 to 24; transcription directly from
current user personal computers; supervisor tracking capabilities; and statistical
information regarding use and current status of specific documents.
Providing digital voice recording capability increases the speed and quality of
prepared reports for further review by detectives. This also creates opportunity for
officers to return to calls for service more quickly, due to the reduction of time spent
completing reports.
Funding, which has already been accrued, for the RTAs System upgrade will
come from the Fiscal Year 2005-06 Police Department salary savings as approved by
the City Manager's Office.

14. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT - BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN
BRIDGE, BICYCLE ROUTE IMPROVEMENTS
Mr. Terry Johnson, Transportation Program Administrator presented this item.
This is a request for the City Council to approve a professional services
agreement with Parsons Transportation Group for engineering design of a

bicycle/pedestrian bridge at 63rd Avenue and Loop 101, and bicycle route
improvements along 631 Avenue from Grand to Olive Avenues.
This project supports the Council's goals of ensuring public safety, creating
transportation options and enhancing the quality of life for Glendale residents.
The bicycle/pedestrian bridge and the 63rd Avenue bike route improvements will
provide a safer bicycle and pedestrian route system by providing a crossing over Loop
101 and bicycle lanes on 63rd Avenue between Grand and Olive Avenues. The
Transportation Department applied for, and received, grant assistance from Congestion
Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds in fiscal years 2007 and 2008 in the
amount of $1,916,000. In addition, moving forward with the design at this time would
place the City in a position to apply for additional close-out funds should funds become
available next year from the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG).
On April 12, 2005, the Council awarded a contract to Nickle Contracting, LLC. for
the construction of the 63rd and Northern Avenues Community Park, which includes the
portion of the 63rd Avenue bicycle route improvements between Frier Drive and
Northern Avenue.

with Parsons Transportation Group to include a conceptual design of the
bicycle/pedestrian bridge to minimize the reconstruction of the noise wall between 67th
and 59t Avenues on Loop 101.
On November 25, 2003, the Council approved the design concept for the
bicycle/pedestrian bridge.
On March 6, 2003, the Citizens Transportation Oversight Commission (CTOC)
reviewed and accepted the design concept for the bicycle/pedestrian bridge.
The bicycle/pedestrian bridge will provide safe access over Loop 101 for adults
and children who currently must use busy arterial crossings, and the 63rd Avenue bike
route improvements will provide 6-foot wide striped bicycle lanes that will allow
additional space for bicyclists.
At the September 4, 2003 Citizens Transportation Oversight Commission
(CTOC) meeting, approximately 15 representatives from the Glendale Bicycle Advisory
Committee and two regional bicycle clubs expressed their support for the bridge project.
On July 9, 2003, Transportation Department staff met with approximately 15
residents of the Enclave neighborhood located near the bicycle/pedestrian bridge
project site to discuss design options for the bridge. Comments by the residents have
been taken into consideration in the design of this project.

On February 27, 2003, a meeting was held at the Foothills Public Library for the
public to review two proposed design options for the bicycle/pedestrian bridge.
Approximately 25 Glendale residents attended and provided responses to survey
questions regarding the proposed project.
Future public meetings will be held with the citizens in the project areas.
Engineering Department staff negotiated a scope of work and fee for design
services with Parsons Transportation Group in the amount of$742,882. A fund transfer

The recommendation was to approve the fund transfer and award a contract to
Parsons Transportation Group in the amount not to exceed $742,882.
Councilmember Lieberman asked if the professional services agreement relates
solely to the design of the two bicycle projects. Mr. Johnson responded yes.
Mayor Scruggs opened the public hearing on Agenda Item No. 14.
Richard Lorance, a resident of the City of Glendale Cactus District, stated he is
Chairperson of the Coalition of Arizona Bicyclists and chairs the organization's
Education Committee. He said their group advocates anything that makes bicycling

Mr. Larry Broyles, City Engineer presented this item.
This is a request for the City Council to award a second and final phase
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) construction contract with Hunter Contracting Co.,

and to approve the necessary transfers to complete payments to Arizona Sports and
Tourism Authority (AZSTA) as per development agreement for the construction of
street, bridge and water system improvements to 95th Avenue between Maryland
Avenue and Bethany Home Road.
This project is consistent with the Council goals of ensuring public safety,
managing growth, and creating transportation options.
Construction of the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority (AZSTA) multi-purpose
stadium and the Glendale Arena has created a need for increased transportation
capacity. This construction project also includes installation of a new water
transmission main in the Bethany Home Outfall Channel between 83rd and 91st
Avenues, a bridge widening over the Grand Canal at 91st Avenue, and relocation of
numerous Salt River Project structures and pipelines.
On September 28, 2004, the Council adopted a resolution authorizing the
entering into of a memorandum of agreement with the AZSTA for a multi-use stadium
and related improvements. On July 26, 2005, the Council awarded the phase one GMP
construction contract with Hunter Contracting Co. to construct the improvements in 91st
Avenue. Design contracts with Wood Patel for the design of 91st Avenue and with
DMJM for the design of Bethany Home Road were approved in 2004.
The improvements to Bethany Home Road will provide a link between 91st
Avenue and the Loop 101 and will connect to the extension of 95th Avenue. This will
enhance traffic flow during event traffic from the stadium and arena and mitigate traffic
congestion during normal traffic conditions.
A public meeting was held on June 8, 2005, to introduce the public to the project
and receive their input.
Funds are available for the proposed projects in the Fiscal Year's 2005-07

amount of $8,972,981, and authorize the budget transfer for payments to Arizona
Sports and Tourism Authority (AZSTA) as per development agreement in the amount of
$6,476,775.
Councilmember Lieberman asked if the contract includes the tying in of Bethany
Home Road and the Bethany Home Road overpass. Mr. Johnson said the project for
the south half of the traffic interchange at Bethany Home Road completes the ADOT
improvements east to 99th Avenue. He explained the proposed project picks up where
ADOT leaves off and completes Bethany Home Road to 91st Avenue.
Councilmember Lieberman asked if there are plans for a park in the area. Mr.
Johnson said the Bethany Home Outfall Channel is a combination storm drain channel
and trail system. He stated there are no large parks in the area, except for a recently
approved youth field project at the northwest corner of 91st Avenue and Bethany Home
Road. Councilmember Lieberman asked if there will be entrances from the road to the
water park that will be immediately north of the road along the canal. Mr. Johnson was

from Low Density Residential (0-1 dwelling units per acre) to Planned Commercial (PC).
The rezoning request is to change the zoning designation for 105.55 acres from C-2
(General Commercial) and M-1 (Light Industrial) to PAD (Planned Area Development).
The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning requests are consistent
with the Economic Development and Growth Areas elements of the Glendale General
Plan.
The applicant intends to develop the 105.55-acre property with either motor
vehicle dealerships and related uses or a combination of motor vehicle dealerships and
retail uses. At this time, no specific users have been identified.
This item was continued from the October 25, 2005 City Council public hearing.
On September 15, 2005, the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the General Plan amendment and approval of the rezoning application, subject to nine
stipulations.
The proposed project will combine several parcels, now zoned for both
commercial and industrial uses, to create a planned commercial development that will
be developed as a unified center. The project will increase local revenue, provide a
sound location for commercial uses in the Loop 303 corridor, and support future
residential growth in the area.

The applicant sent 66 notification letters to property owners within 300 feet of the
site and to interested parties on August 18, 2005. Neither the applicant nor the
Planning Department received any response to the applicant's notification letters.
A public notice for the September 15, 2005 Planning Commission hearing on
these applications was published in the Glendale Star on August 25, 2005. The
property was posted on August 25, 2005. Letters were mailed to 66 property owners
and interested parties on August 25, 2005. At the public hearing, two people spoke to
this request. One requested that a rural lifestyle be maintained in this area. The other
stated, for the record, that he did not want development of the project to disturb
irrigation flow to his property. This individual currently farms the 40 acres located
southeast of this parcel. The applicant confirmed that he will maintain irrigation to the
adjacent property.
A public notice for tonight's hearing was published in the Glendale Star on
September 29, 2005. The property was posted on August 25, 2005. Post cards were
mailed to 66 property owners and interested parties on September 30, 2005.
The recommendation was to conduct a public hearing, waive reading beyond the
title, adopt a resolution, and approve General Plan Amendment GPA05-10 and
Rezoning Application ZON05-17, subject to stipulations.
Councilmember Goulet referred to the second paragraph on Page 4 of the PAD,
asking what is intended by the reference to a visually prestigious design. Mr. Froke
said the intent is to have elements tie together to provide a theme.
Councilmember Goulet asked if another design standard will take precedence if
certain uses anticipated at this time do not, in fact, materialize. Mr. Froke said the
conceptual land use plan for Glendale 303 sets the framework for development of the
subject property. He stated, assuming the General Plan Amendment and PAD zoning
is approved, staff will work with the applicant and final users on each parcel. He noted
each site will go through the city's design review process before development occurs.
Councilmember Goulet asked what will trigger future changes, such as the
expansion to a ten lane-divided access-controlled facility. He also asked if sufficient
land will be set aside for future growth. Mr. Froke said one of the stipulations requires
the applicant to provide a traffic impact study before any development occurs. He
assured Councilmember Goulet that rights-of-way and street improvements are built
into the PAD.
Mayor Scruggs asked if they are approving the PAD date stamped November 3.
Mr. Froke explained there are no stipulations associated with the General Plan
Amendment, but the zoning case is subject to eight stipulations. He said it is typical to
stipulate a PAD to the document.
15
Mike Withey, Applicant's representative, said they support staff's
recommendation for approval. He explained they made the changes to the PAD
document as staff requested, stating the staff report references the new plan date
stamped November 3.
Mayor Scruggs opened the public hearing on Agenda Item No. 16. As there
were no comments, Mayor Scruggs closed the public hearing.

ORDINANCES
17. DEDICATION OF RIGHT OF WAY: NORTHERN AVENUE BETWEEN 111TH
AND 115IN AVENUES
Mr. Larry Broyles, City Engineer, presented this item.
This is a request for the City Council to dedicate a seven-foot wide strip of land
to Maricopa County as public right-of-way. The strip, owned by the city, is located
within future Northern Avenue right-of-way between 111th and 115m Avenues.
The city acquired the seven-foot wide strip of land in 1977, but never dedicated it
as public right-of-way. The strip is located between the north side of the city's
annexation strip, which is to the south of this property, and the south edge of the
original Maricopa County 33-foot right-of-way. Dedication of this right-of-way will have
no negative impact on the future Northern Avenue Parkway project.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt an
ordinance authorizing the City Manager to sign all documents necessary for the
dedication of real property to Maricopa County for public roadway purposes.
Ordinance No. 2468 New Series was read by number and title only, it being AN
ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA

DEDICATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR NORTHERN AVENUE BETWEEN 111TH AND
115TH AVENUES IN THE CITY OF GLENDALE; AND ORDERING THAT A
CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE BE RECORDED.

18. RESCINDING OF ORDINANCE NO. 2467 NEW SERIES: 16351 WEST
PEORIA AVENUE
Mr. Ed Beasley, City Manager, asked that this item be removed from the agenda.
This is a request for the City Council to approve an ordinance rescinding the
annexation of 105 acres located at the southeast corner of Loop 303 and Peoria
Avenue.
This action is in compliance with the developer's option to rescind the annexation
granted in the development agreement (C-5406) associated with this site.
The 105.013-acre site is located at the southeast corner of Loop 303 and Peoria
Avenue and abuts the Glendale strip annexation boundary along Peoria Avenue.
Ordinance No. 2467 News Series was approved by the City Council at the
October 11, 2005 meeting. Ordinance 2467 would have become effective on
November 10, 2005.
Development Agreement C-5406 included a clause to have the annexation of
this 105 acres rescinded before the effective date if the zoning for the site was not
approved or stipulations on the zoning was not acceptable to the developer.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt the
Ordinance rescinding the annexation originally approved by the City Council in
Ordinance No. 2467, New Series.
Ordinance No. 2469 New Series was read by number and title only, it being AN
ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA
