Pamela Hanna, City Clerk, read Consent Resolutions Agenda Item Numbers 6 through
17 by number and title.
Mr. Beasley requested that item #1 be pulled from the agenda.
1. LEASE AGREEMENT — NITRATE REMOVAL DEMONSTRATION SYSTEM
This is a request for the City Council to approve a lease agreement with US Filter
for a nitrate removal demonstration system. This leased demonstration system will be
installed on Well 40 at the city's Cholla Water Treatment Plant as the first step prior to
implementing full-scale nitrate treatment for Glendale's groundwater supply. The 24-
month lease agreement will include design, fabrication, delivery, installation, start up,
and performance testing.
One of Council's goals is to enhance the quality of life for Glendale residents.
This project will provide data that will be used to improve groundwater treatment
processes, allowing the city's water treatment plants to maintain compliance with
federal and state regulations regarding water quality.
On October 10, 2004, Council approved a professional services agreement with
the firm of Black & Veatch to complete site selection and design of the new Zone 4
Water Treatment Plant (Glendale Oasis Water Campus). This water treatment plant
will provide a new source of drinking water with state-of-the-art technology. Initially,
treatment processes at the Glendale Oasis Water Campus will be applied to surface
water only. The data gathered from the proposed nitrate removal demonstration facility
at Well 40 will be incorporated within the design of the Glendale Oasis Water Campus,
eventually allowing this facility to be expanded to include nitrate treatment of
groundwater.
On February 17, 2005, a request for proposals was advertised for equipment
quotes. Two proposals were received. These proposals were reviewed by the project
engineering design consultant, Black & Veatch, and Engineering staff. U. S. Filter was
selected as the best-qualified vendor.
2
The leasing cost for US Filter to design, fabricate, deliver, install, start up and
performance test the nitrate treatment system will be $28,859 per month for 24 months
for a total full term cost not to exceed $629,616. This total cost includes equipment
training for city staff and monthly on-site service during the duration of the 24-month
lease. No additional staff will be needed to operate the system. Funds for these
services are available in Additional Water Capacity, Account No. 83-8056-7810.

amount of $692,616.
2. PROPOSED NAME OF CITY NEIGHBORHOOD PARK AT ROVEY FARM
ESTATES
This is a request for City Council to approve the proposed name Sycamore
Grove Park, for the five-acre park located within the Rovey Farm Estates Development.
This park furthers the strategic priorities of enhancing the quality of life for
Glendale residents.
The addition of this park brings this square mile of the city into compliance with
the "Level of Service Standards" for neighborhood parks as prescribed in the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan.
In 2002, the City of Glendale entered into a development agreement with
Orangewood 88 LLC to purchase and develop a five-acre neighborhood park site within
Rovey Farm Estates. Rovey Farm Estates is a 300-acre residential master planned
community, consisting of 810 lots, located between 83rd and 89th Avenues and
Glendale and Northern Avenues. The park is located in the Sycamore Grove
neighborhood of Rovey Farm Estates.
The neighborhood park will provide amenities to residents within a one square
mile area, which addresses the Parks and Recreation Level of Service Standards. The
park amenities include two basketball courts, volleyball courts, play structures, picnic
ramadas, multi-use pathways, and a small splash pad. The park conforms to the Parks
and Recreation Master Plan for neighborhood park locations. The park is accented
with sycamore trees and once they mature, the park will become easily identified by
residents in the service area.
3
Since the Rovey Farm Estates subdivision was under construction at the time
the park was completed, staff asked the Parks and Recreation Commission to consider
names for the park. The commission recognized that the park is located in the
Sycamore Grove section of the development that is accented with sycamore trees.
Therefore, the Commission unanimously voted to forward the name Sycamore Grove
Park to City Council for its consideration and approval.
The recommendation was to approve the name "Sycamore Grove Park" for the
neighborhood park located in the Rovey Farm Estates Development.
3. AWARD OF BID 05-10, TRAFFIC COUNTS
This is a request for the City Council to approve a contract with Field Data
Services of Arizona, Inc., for traffic count and speed data collection.
The collection of traffic data supports the council goal of managing growth and
preserving neighborhoods by ensuring follow-up on neighborhood requests for traffic
mitigation measures.
Traffic counts and speed studies are performed to determine traffic volume and
vehicle speeds traveling on residential, collector, and arterial streets. This information is
used to respond to citizen concerns about traffic volume and vehicle speeds on
residential streets and requests for STOP signs, neighborhood speed humps, and new
traffic signals. Five bids were received to provide traffic counting and data collection
services for the City of Glendale. Field Data Services of Arizona Inc submitted the
lowest responsive bid. Currently, Field Data Services of Arizona Inc. collects traffic
counts for the City of Phoenix, the City of Surprise, and the City of Casa Grande. The
contract shall begin July 1, 2005 and continue for one year. The proposal
specifications contain an option clause that will allow the city, at the discretion of the
City Manager, to extend this agreement for four additional years in one-year
increments.
On July 11, 2000, the City Council approved Bid 00-30 for traffic counts. This
contract officially expires June 30, 2005.
The community benefit realized by the collection of traffic data is improved traffic
flow. The Transportation Department would be able to determine the effectiveness of
proposed neighborhood traffic mitigation or if an intersection requires signalization
through this contract.
Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2005-06 Go! Transportation Program
Traffic Mitigation Account No.: 25-6358-7330 and the Traffic Mitigation and Studies
Account No.: 12-6326-7330.

4. INCREASE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT FOR STREETLIGHT MAINTENANCE
AND INSTALLATIONS
This is a request for the City Council to authorize an increase of $100,000 to the
annual streetlight maintenance and installation contract with Fluoresco Lighting and
Signs. These funds will be used to install additional streetlight poles in support of the
Petition Lighting Program in the Capital Improvement Program.
Since 1990, the city's Petition Lighting Program has installed 125 streetlights
annually in areas where a need for additional street lighting was requested. The city
contracted with the utility companies for the installation of these lights with the purchase
of the streetlight system in 1986. The city has experienced an increase in cost, and
delay in installation of up to two years, due to the utility company's priorities and other
commitments such as emergency repairs. Increasing the contract will help accelerate
the streetlight pole installation process.
The Council approved the award of the annual streetlight maintenance and
installation contract on March 26, 2002, as per Bid #01-54.
Increasing funding the streetlight maintenance and installation contract will allow
for quicker pole installations in response to citizen requests. The average time to install
a streetlight pole is expected to be reduced from one year to six months. The city
should realize a cost savings since the utility companies have been bidding out each
project on an individual basis.
The spending limit with Fluoresco Lighting and Signs for the streetlight
maintenance and installation contract will increase from $265,080 to $365,080 annually.
Sufficient funds and appropriation authority are available in the CIP Petition
Lighting Project Account number 31-8054-8330.

5. SPRING 2005 NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT GRANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
This is a request for the City Council to approve the spring 2005 neighborhood
grant projects, as recommended by the Citizens' Advisory Commission on
Neighborhoods. For Fiscal Year 2004-05, the Council set aside $500,000 to support
various neighborhood grant projects. Of this amount, $250,000 is available to
neighborhoods for the spring 2005 funding cycle.
As part of its commitment to revitalizing and preserving older neighborhoods, the
Council established the Neighborhood Grants Program and the Citizens' Advisory
Commission on Neighborhoods to make funding recommendations on neighborhood
enhancement and revitalization projects. The recommended neighborhood grant
projects are consistent with the policies of the Neighborhood Grants Program as
established by the Council and support the implementation of goals and objectives
relating to the Neighborhood Element of the General Plan.
The Commission on Neighborhoods recently concluded a two-month review
process of seven neighborhood grant requests and is recommending five of them for
funding, as follows:
1. Skyview West One Neighborhood — $157,230 to construct the second phase of a
new eight-foot decorative wall along the south side of Bethany Home Road, from
69th to 71st Avenues. Combined with previous "Phase I" funding, the
neighborhood will be able to construct the new wall beginning this summer.
2. Chaparral Ranch Three HOA — $54,479 to repave the neighborhood's internal
streets, located within the boundaries of 65t Lane (east), 66th Lane (west),
Cinnabar Avenue (north), and Onyx Avenue (south).
6
3. Bethany Heights Neighborhood — $10,500 to conduct design work for the
eventual installation of a playground shade structure, ramada, picnic tables and
other park improvements in Mary Silva Park, located at 45th and Marshall
Avenues.
4. Pioneer Neighborhood — $20,000 to conduct design work for the eventual
landscaping of Country Gables Road, from 59th Avenue (east) to 63rd Avenue
(west), and 63`d Avenue, from Country Gables Road (south) to Greenway Road
(north).
5. Tamarac At Maryland Lakes HOA — $3,000 to fund a strategic asset/reserve
study to help the neighborhood evaluate its financial status and strategically
organize and/or leverage its financial resources for future neighborhood
improvements within its boundaries. This neighborhood is located between 48th
Avenue (west), 48th Drive (east), Krell Street (north) and Sierra Vista Drive
(south).
Although there were two other neighborhood grant requests submitted for
consideration — Catlin Court Neighborhood Association and Patrick Ranch HOA — other
sources of funding were identified and secured after the grant applications were
submitted. As a result, the commission on Neighborhoods did vote to support both
projects, yet directed staff to work with both neighborhoods to accomplish their projects
via the separate funding sources.
This program and its funding were reviewed, discussed and approved by the
Council as a part of the Fiscal Year 2004-05 budget setting process. The Council has
also reviewed and approved over 145 previous neighborhood grant requests since
1995.
Each of the recommended grant projects will make needed improvements and
enhance the quality of life in the respective neighborhoods and overall, in Glendale.
The following public meetings where held for the Spring 2005 grants process:
• On February 5 and 10, 2005, the Neighborhood Partnership staff conducted
two grant orientations to educate prospective neighborhood applicants about
the neighborhood grants process.
• On April 20, 2005, the Neighborhood Partnership staff facilitated a grant
hearing where the seven neighborhood applicants publicly presented their
grant requests.
7
• On May 4, 2005, the Neighborhood Partnership staff facilitated a grant
hearing where the Commission on Neighborhoods considered and made
funding recommendations for each of the seven neighborhood grant
requests.
• In addition to the above meetings, direct mail, neighborhood newsletters,
website publicity, media releases and e-mail notification were all used to
notify Glendale residents of the opportunity to apply for a spring 2005
neighborhood grant.
Funds for the proposed neighborhood grant requests are available in the
following Fiscal Year 2004-05 Capital Improvement Plan, Neighborhood Improvement
Grant Accounts: 01-8968-8320 and 01-8968-7330.

CONSENT RESOLUTIONS
6. RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR WEST VALLEY CHILD CRISIS CENTER
GRANT
This is a request for the City Council to approve a "Resolution of Support" for the
West Valley Child Crisis Center (WVCCC), authorizing the submission of an application
for a grant from the Gila River Indian Community State-Shared Revenue Program
funds. The WVCCC is requesting $275,000 over a three-year period to expand
services available to abused and neglected children of the West Valley at their Kids
Campus located in Glendale. In order to apply for these funds, the Gila River Indian
Community requires a Resolution of Support by the City of Glendale.
This supports the City Council priorities of assisting youth, ensuring public safety
and the prevention of homelessness.
In 2002, the voters of Arizona passed Proposition 202. Under this proposition,
Native American communities that derive revenue from gaming are required to set
aside 12% for a state-shared revenue program for distribution "to cities, towns, or
counties for government services that benefit the general public, including public safety,
mitigation of the impacts of gaming, or promotion of commerce and economic
8
development". As a result, the Gila River Indian Community developed a revenue-
sharing program that is also open to non-profits, provided there is support by the local
government.
The WVCCC is a fast growing, non-profit agency located in Glendale that
provides much needed services to children who are abused or come from dangerous
situations. The Gila River Indian Community State-Shared Revenue Program
represents a new opportunity for the WVCCC to apply for funding to meet demand for
its services and provide a safe haven for abused and neglected children.
The Community Revitalization Division and city Grants Coordinator have
reviewed the WVCCC application, the funding process, and are supportive of the
community benefit these additional funds would have in Glendale, should the
application be successful. The city has also supported the WVCCC via the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) process. Since 2001, the city has provided over
$238,000 in CDBG funds to the WVCCC for a variety of activities that benefit abused
and neglected children.
According to the Arizona Department of Economic Security, the child abuse
hotline received 38,922 calls from April 2003 to March 2004. Last year the WVCCC
experienced a 128% increase in the number of beds filled each night, and many times
had to inform Child Protective Service workers that the facility was full. The objective is
to maintain a safe, positive environment and well being for 60 abused children on a
daily basis. Based on past experience, WVCCC expects that approximately 45 of these
children will be from the City of Glendale.
The city will be acting as a fiscal agent and grant administrator for the proposed
funding. The Community Revitalization staff currently administers a federal contract
with the WVCCC, so the proposed oversight duties would be absorbed with no
significant impact on its ability to administer other city federal and non-federal grant
programs. A specific account will be established in Fund 47, the city's grant fund, once
the grant agreements are formally executed.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a
resolution supporting West Valley Child Crisis Center's application to apply for a grant
from the Gila River Indian Community State-Shared Revenue Program funds.
Resolution No. 3855 New Series was read by number and title only, it being A
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA
COUNTY, ARIZONA, SUPPORTING AND AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A
GRANT APPLICATION FOR THE WEST VALLEY CHILD CRISIS CENTER.

7. AMENDED MARICOPA HOME CONSORTIUM INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREEMENT
This is a request for the City Council to authorize entering into an amended
intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Maricopa HOME Consortium. This
amendment will add the cities of Avondale and Surprise to the consortium. The IGA
allows the city of Glendale to continue to receive funding allocations from the HOME
Investment Partnerships Program for the federal fiscal years 2006 through 2008.
The Council has provided the Community Development Advisory Committee
(CDAC) with a list of priorities to be used when allocating federal funding received from
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They are:
Fiscal Year (FY) 2005-06
• Housing-related projects (i.e., infill housing, housing rehabilitation)
• Clearance and demolition of blighting conditions
• Programs that prevent homelessness
• Programs related to domestic violence
• Programs related to employment services (training, job seeking assistance)
• Programs that benefit seniors and youth
The continued use of these funds will address the housing-related projects
priority and also provide general assistance within the other categories.
The Maricopa HOME Consortium was established in 1993 for the purpose of
receiving HOME funds from HUD. Current consortium members include Maricopa
County as the lead agency and the cities of Chandler, Glendale, Mesa, Peoria,
Scottsdale, and Tempe, and the Town of Gilbert.
Since the Maricopa HOME Consortium IGA was renewed, the cities of Avondale
and Surprise have become entitlement communities under the CDBG program.
Entitlement communities are cities with a population exceeding 50,000. The cities of
Avondale and Surprise have accepted the invitation from the consortium to join so they
can participate in the HOME Program.
At the April 2005 consortium meeting, members were informed that HUD
requested that the cities of Avondale and Surprise be included in this IGA. This
renewed IGA must be submitted to HUD before June 30, 2005.
The objective of the HOME Program is to expand the supply of decent, safe,
sanitary, and affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. This
program has supported numerous activities that have benefited hundreds of Glendale
residents. The consortium assists the city and acts as the lead agency and provides
administrative oversight to ensure compliance with all federal regulations. As
10
reimbursement for its administrative duties, Maricopa County will receive up to 5% of
each consortium members' share of their HOME Program grant allocation each year.
At the January 11, 2005 City Council meeting, a resolution was passed
authorizing the execution of a new IGA with the Maricopa HOME Consortium for federal
fiscal years 2006 through 2008.
Since the city of Glendale first entered into an IGA with the Maricopa HOME
Consortium in 1993, it has renewed the IGA every 3 years. This has resulted in the city
having received over $5,605,904 in HOME funds. In Fiscal Year 2005-06, Glendale's
HOME allocation is estimated to be $752,285.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution
authorizing the execution of the amended intergovernmental agreement with the
Maricopa HOME Consortium for federal fiscal years 2006 through 2008.
Resolution No. 3856 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 THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN
AMENDED INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA COUNTY, THE
CITIES OF AVONDALE, CHANDLER, MESA, PEORIA, SCOTTSDALE, SURPRISE,
TEMPE, AND THE TOWN OF GILBERT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONSORTIUM
COVERING FEDERAL FISCAL YEARS 2006-2008 TO RECEIVE FEDERAL
FUNDING UNDER THE HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM.
8. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR A GLENDALE HIGH SCHOOL
HEALTH CARE CLINIC
This is a request for City Council authorization to enter into an intergovernmental
agreement (IGA) with Glendale Union High School District (GUHSD) to establish a
school-based primary health care clinic located on the Glendale High School campus.
The clinic will provide primary health care services to medically underserved students at
Glendale High School for Fiscal Year 2005-06. Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds will be utilized for this purpose.
The City Council identified youth programs as one goal to be addressed through
CDBG funding.
GUHSD currently operates primary health care clinics at Independence and
Sunnyslope High Schools. At Glendale High School, 76% of the students are eligible
for a free, or reduced-fee lunch, a primary indicator of financial disadvantage, which
indicates an increased health risk. Providing primary health care services at this school
site helps to overcome barriers to health care experienced by many of the families that
are low- or moderate-income.
11
The Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) presented its funding
recommendations to the Council at the February 1, 2005 workshop. After the 30-day
public comment period and public hearing, the Council adopted CDAC's funding
recommendations for Fiscal Year 2005-06 at its March 22, 2005 meeting.
This program is expected to provide preventative health care and up-to-date
immunizations to approximately 250 medically underserved students.
The Council approved funding for this project during the adoption of the Fiscal
Year 2005-06 CDBG Annual Action Plan. These funds will be utilized to provide
assessment and management of acute minor illness or injury, prescriptions,
medications, physical exams, sports physicals, well-child screening, examinations, and
immunizations, etc.

9. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA COUNTY FOR
NOVA SAFE HAVEN
This is a request for City Council authorization to enter into an intergovernmental
agreement (IGA) with Maricopa County for Fiscal Year 2005-06. This will support
construction of the NOVA Safe Haven facility, part of the Human Services Campus,
which benefits Glendale citizens requiring emergency shelter and programs for
homeless individuals who are mentally ill. Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds will be utilized for this purpose.
The creation of the Human Services Campus is a result of a collaborative
planning and funding effort among the public and private sectors of Maricopa County.
Maricopa County is serving as interim owner, developer, and manager for the campus,
including NOVA Safe Haven, with oversight provided by the county administrative
office. NOVA Safe Haven provides emergency shelter and programs for homeless
12
individuals who are mentally ill. Based on prior history, NOVA Safe Haven anticipates
that approximately 15% (an estimated 67 individuals) of those served will come from
the city of Glendale.
The Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) presented its funding
recommendations to the Council at its February 1, 2005 workshop. After the 30-day
public comment period and public hearing, the Council formally adopted CDAC's
funding recommendations for Fiscal Year 2005-06 at the March 22, 2005 meeting.
NOVA Safe Haven is the final component of the Human Services Campus that
will be built once the other components are completed, and the current facilities housing
Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS) and the Health Care for the Homeless (HCH)
program are demolished. In addition to new facilities for CASS (emergency shelter)
and HCH (primary and behavioral health care), a dining facility for St. Vincent de Paul
and a Day Resource Center (providing outreach, case management and integrated
services from multiple service agencies) will be constructed on the campus.
The Council approved funding for this project during the adoption of the Fiscal
Year 2005-06 CDBG Annual Action Plan. These funds will be utilized to partially
support the construction of NOVA Safe Haven.

10, INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA COUNTY FOR THE
SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICES PROGRAM
This is a request for City Council authorization to enter into an intergovernmental
agreement (IGA) with Maricopa County Human Services Department to provide elderly
and disabled Glendale citizens with transportation services for medical and social
13
service appointments outside the City of Glendale for Fiscal Year 2005-06. Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds will be utilized for this activity.
The City Council identified senior programs as one goal to be addressed through
CDBG funding. This program will help elderly and disabled individuals by providing
transportation outside Glendale city limits to get to needed medical care or attend social
service activities.
The City of Glendale has partnered with the Maricopa County Human Services
Department for the Special Transportation Services (STS) Program to provide trips to
eligible Glendale low-income elderly and disabled for appointments outside the
Glendale city limits. The program is used for medical and dialysis appointments, adult
day care, social services, and other related services. Door-to-door service will be
provided and all qualified Glendale residents are eligible for this service. The STS
Program will continue to work closely with Glendale Dial-a-Ride in providing the most
efficient transportation service for Glendale residents.
The Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) presented its funding
recommendations to the Council at the February 1, 2005 workshop. After the 30-day
public comment period and public hearing, the Council formally adopted CDAC's
funding recommendations for Fiscal Year 2005-06 at the March 22, 2005 Council
meeting.
Since 1997, this service has provided over 16,000 trips to Glendale citizens. In
Fiscal Year 2005-06, a projected 619 passenger trips will be provided. This program
reduces transportation barriers for seniors, disabled, and economically disadvantaged
individuals.
The Council approved funding for this project during the adoption of the Fiscal

11. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT TO RENEW SOLID WASTE
SERVICES TO THE CITY OF AVONDALE
This is a request for the City Council to approve an intergovernmental agreement
(IGA) to renew landfill and Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) processing services to the
City of Avondale.
The IGA will help meet the Council's goals of providing financial stability and
coordinating exceptional service delivery. The agreement also promotes the strategic
priority of strengthening community relationships and creating new partnerships.
The city's current IGA to provide landfill and recycling services to the City of
Avondale expires on June 30, 2005. The term of the existing agreement was for five
years.
The initial term of the new agreement will become effective July 1, 2005, and
continue through June 30, 2007. This agreement may be extended on terms and
conditions acceptable to both the cities of Glendale and Avondale, and continue
thereafter for two additional periods of two years each.
The current tipping fee for landfill services is $24 per ton. The new fee will be
$21.50 per ton for the first year of the agreement, July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006.
The fee will be adjusted to $22 per ton for the second year of the agreement, July 1,
2006 through June 30, 2007, and to $22.50 for the period July 1, 2007 through June
30, 2009. The fees are consistent with the study by R.W. Beck, a solid waste
management consultant, in 2004. Any fee increase for the last year of the agreement
will be the lesser of the change in consumer price index or$1 per ton.
Under the proposed agreement, the city will initially pay the city of Avondale up
to $5 per ton for recyclable material delivered to the MRF when the aggregate value of
the material is $75 per ton. This payment will be reduced based on the amount of
residual or non-recyclable waste received with the recyclable material. The payment is
to provide a financial incentive for the city of Avondale to deliver only clean recyclable
materials to the MRF.
On May 16, 2005, the Avondale City Council approved the proposed IGA for
Glendale to provide landfill and MRF processing services.
15
On March 11, 2003, the Council approved an amendment to the IGA with the
City of Avondale to accept waste tires from Avondale residents for an additional
handling fee of$3 per tire.
On April 8, 2002, the Council approved an IGA with the City of Avondale to
provide landfill and MRF processing services.
The additional refuse received by the landfill and recyclable material processed
at the MRF will result in increased revenues and more cost effective solid waste
operations for Glendale residents.
Annual gross revenue from landfill tonnage is projected to be $493,400 for Fiscal
Year 2005-06 and will be deposited into Landfill Revenue Account 55-0055-4326. This
is anticipated to increase each year due to growth and rate increases. Annual gross
revenue from recyclable materials delivered to the MRF based on current market value
is projected to be $440,200 for Fiscal Year 2005-06 and will be deposited into Recycling
Sales Revenue Account 55-0055-4512.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a
resolution authorizing the entering into of an intergovernmental agreement to provide
landfill and Materials Recovery Facility processing services to the City of Avondale.

12. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS — SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS
This is a request for the City Council to authorize entering into of
intergovernmental agreements between the City of Glendale and two school districts to
assign a Glendale police officer to the designated campuses.
The Police Department currently has school resource officers assigned to high
schools and elementary schools in the Glendale Union High School District and the
Alhambra School District. The school resource program began in 1992 with one officer
being assigned to Barcelona Primary School, and has expanded to the current
complement of school resource officers.
These contracts will continue the assignment of one officer to each of the
schools during the Fiscal Year 2005-06. The assigned officers participate in
educational programs, which aid students in dealing successfully with peer pressure,
child abuse, gangs, and other related issues. The officers investigate cases of school-
related criminal activities and assist school administrators in addressing these matters.
16
The officers work on campus while school is in session. During the summer and
other recreational breaks, the officers complete duties assigned by the Police
Department. This partnership allows for continued educational efforts in local schools
while increasing police visibility and presence in the community at a low cost and with
no decline in other service levels.
All of the school resource officers are totally funded in the general fund. The city
receives salary reimbursement of $36,000 from each of the schools for a total
reimbursement of$72,000.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution
authorizing the City Manager to enter into intergovernmental agreements with Glendale
Union High School District for Independence High School and the Alhambra School
District for Barcelona Elementary School.

Last year the Council accepted $106,997 in grant funding from VOCA through
DPS. Glendale has been accepting grants from VOCA for more than 15 years.
Victims of crime in Glendale receive numerous services through the Glendale
Police Department and the victim assistance staff, including crisis counseling,
advocacy, and information and referral. This funding would allow the Police
Department to continue to ensure these services are available to any person victimized
in the city.
17
The city's share of costs related to this grant continues to be the $25,596 in
facility rental fees for the West Valley Advocacy Center. This grant match amount is
available in the Police Department's Fiscal Year 2005-06 operating budget, Account

THUNDERBIRD, THE GARVIN SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT
This is a request for the City Council to approve the issuance of Industrial
Development Authority (IDA) bonds for Thunderbird, The Garvin School of International
Management (Thunderbird) in an amount not to exceed $31 million.
The city's IDA was incorporated in 1982 as a vehicle through which revenue
bonds can be issued to provide financing for qualified economic development projects.
There are a number of projects that are eligible, but, for the most part, IDA financing in
Glendale is for manufacturing companies, higher education institutions, health care
institutions, and nonprofit entities engaged in eligible activities.

million of its Educational Facilities Revenue and Refunding Bonds (bonds) to finance or
refinance the acquisition, construction and equipping of educational facilities for
Thunderbird.
Under applicable Arizona law, the proceedings of the IDA for the issuance of the
bonds requires the approval of the City Council as the governing body of the IDA. The
city has no financial obligation or liability for payment of the bonds.

various legal and equitable claims. The City of Glendale disputes and is prepared to
defend against all claims brought in the lawsuit. Mr. Long and the City desire to resolve

PUBLIC HEARING — LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS
18. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (GPA04-07) AND REZONING APPLICATION
(ZON04-16): BANK ONE — 9490 WEST CAMELBACK ROAD
Mr. James May, AICP, Acting Planning Director presented this item.
This is a request by Beus Gilbert, PLLC for the City Council to approve an
amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map from Planned Commercial (PC) to
Office (OFC) and to approve a rezoning from A-1 (Agricultural District) to C-O
(Commercial Office). The property is located at 9490 West Camelback Road.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with the General Plan
objective of promoting economic development.
21
The 1.65-acre site is located at the northeast corner of 95th Avenue and
Camelback Road. The applicant proposes development of a branch bank with drive-
through services. The total building area is approximately 4,475 square feet.
On April 21 , 2005, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
General Plan Amendment and rezoning application subject to four stipulations.
The project promotes the development of vacant property and will provide
professional office uses for residents and businesses in Glendale.
On January 3, 2004, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting, inviting 155
property owners and interested parties. Two residents attended the meeting, wanting
more information about the surrounding developments.
A public notice for tonight's hearing was published in the Glendale Star on May
19, 2005. The property was posted and letters were mailed to property owners and
interested parties on May 20, 2005.
The recommendation was to conduct a public hearing and approve General Plan
Amendment GPA04-07 and Rezoning Application ZON04-16, subject to the four
stipulations as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Mayor Scruggs opened the public hearing on Agenda Item No. 18. As there
were no comments, Mayor Scruggs closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Clark, and seconded by Frate to approve General Plan
Amendment GPA04-07 and Rezoning Application ZON04-16, subject to the four
stipulations as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion carried
unanimously.
19. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (GPA05-04) AND REZONING APPLICATION
(ZON05-04): NORTHEAST CORNER OF 991" AVENUE AND CAMELBACK
ROAD
Mr. James May, AICP, Acting Planning Director presented this item.
This is a request by Vince Dalke of Archicon, LC, Architecture and Interiors for
the City Council to amend the General Plan designation for the northern half of the site
at 99th Avenue and Camelback Road from BP (Business Park) to PC (Planned
Commercial) and rezone from A-1 (Agricultural) to PAD (Planned Area Development).
The recommended changes in designation are consistent with the General Plan
objective of providing shopping and dining within the City, and increasing local revenue
from sales and service to residents and visitors.
22
The existing General Plan designation of BP (Business Park) is not the most
appropriate designation due to the site's proximity to Loop 101, the Glendale Arena and
the AZSTA Multipurpose Stadium. The proposed 18.28-acre planned commercial
project will allow a mixed-use development that is functionally related and shares a
common architectural theme.
The PAD (Planned Area Development) is the most appropriate zoning
designation to implement a mixed-use development. The PAD designation will allow
mixed-use commercial development unified by architecture, landscaping, signage, and
lighting, with complementary land uses such as retail, office, and hotel. The proposed
land uses for the PAD designation are reasonable and appropriate given the location of
this site. The office and hotel uses are complementary to the Loop 101 freeway,
Glendale Municipal Airport, and the sports facilities located near the property and the
proposed architectural theme will unify all districts in the PAD. This property is currently
vacant and owned by the City of Glendale. In August of 2004, the city entered into a
development agreement with Paragon Properties to develop the site as a mixed-use
commercial development. The development agreement specifically prohibits adult
uses, auto repair facilities, automobile service, gasoline stations, convenience stores,
churches, and storage.
The PAD development plan proposes two uses, subject to approval of a CUP
(Conditional Use Permit). The hotel is required to obtain a CUP and the drive-thru for
the proposed bank requires a CUP as a convenience use. Both applications will be
reviewed at a later date.
The applicant has proposed at total of 31% of the net site area (or 246,264
square feet) to be landscaped. Pedestrian links have been provided between a majority
of the buildings. In addition, an entry feature and landscaped drive is proposed for the
main driveway from 99th Avenue. The focal point of this driveway will be the entrance to
the hotel. Access to the remainder of the site will be provided to the site by four
driveways. One driveway will be off of Camelback Road and the remaining three
driveways will be off of 99th Avenue. The driveways on 99th Avenue are spaced far
enough apart to provide safe traffic movements.
A master sign package has been included as part of the PAD document. The
standards provided in the master sign package are consistent with current Zoning
Ordinance requirements. In addition to the master sign package, the PAD development
plan proposes a common architectural design theme that will create a high quality
mixed-use commercial development. The design, through permitted building materials
and colors described in the plan, creates a compatible design in keeping with the
overall development. The buildings are to include articulated wall planes, projections,
and recesses to provide shadow and depth. All buildings, with the exception of the five-
story hotel, are proposed to be one-story in height. The applicant has provided
graphics for illustrative purposes only on Exhibits 8 and 9 of the PAD development plan.
23
On May 19, 2005, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
General Plan Amendment and rezoning application.
The project promotes the development of vacant property and will provide much
needed retail, office, and hotel services to this area of Glendale.
On February 17, 2005, notification letters were sent to 51 property owners within
300 feet of the site and to interested parties, inviting them to a neighborhood meeting at
Desert Mirage Elementary School. The neighborhood meeting was held on March 2,
2005 and there were no property owners or interested parties who attended the
meeting. Several representatives of the property owner and applicant attended the
meeting also. Neither the applicant, nor the Planning Department, received any written
responses or telephone calls in response to the mailing.
The recommendation was to conduct a public hearing and approve General Plan
Application GPA05-04 and Rezoning Application ZON05-04, subject to the stipulations
as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Michael Blenis, Sr. Vice President, Paragon Properties, stated they are excited
to get to this point and appreciate the efforts put forth by city staff.
Mayor Scruggs opened the public hearing on Agenda Item No. 19. As there
were no comments, Mayor Scruggs closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Clark, and seconded by Goulet to approve General Plan
Application GPA05-04 and Rezoning Application ZON05-04, subject to the
stipulations as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion carried
unanimously.

This is a request for the City Council to adopt an ordinance granting an aerial
easement and a facility easement in favor of Salt River Project (SRP) along the south
side of Orangewood Avenue, between 77th and 79th Avenues. The easements will
enable SRP to relocate its pole and to provide electrical service to the new Glendale
Unified School District (GUSD) elementary school on the southwest corner of 77th and
Orangewood Avenues.
GUSD has requested SRP to provide electrical power to the new elementary
school for day-to-day business operations. As part of the school development plan, the
district will be making certain improvements to Orangewood Avenue that requires SRP
to relocate its existing poles. The easements are necessary to protect its facilities and
existing land rights.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt an
ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute an aerial easement and a facility
easement in favor of SRP.

26
This is a request for the City Council to adopt an ordinance granting an electrical
easement in favor of Salt River Project (SRP) within the right-of-way for 99th Avenue,
south of Bethany Home Road. The purpose of this easement is to enable SRP to
relocate 69kV power poles to accommodate the construction of the Bethany Home
Road traffic interchange of the Loop 101.
Granting this easement will ensure continuing electrical service and enable
construction of the Bethany Home Road traffic interchanges, benefiting the sports
facilities and the area in general.
In order to accommodate the construction of the south legs of the Bethany Home
Road traffic interchange at Loop 101, the Arizona Department of Transportation is
requiring the relocation of several of SRP's 69kV power poles along the east side of
992 Avenue, south of Bethany Home Road. The new pole location is within city right-
of-way. To protect its facilities and existing land rights, SRP is requiring an easement
for the new location of the poles.

24. QUIT CLAIM DEED: 5323 WEST GLENDALE AVENUE
Mr. Larry Broyles, City Engineer, presented this item.
This is a request for the City Council to adopt an ordinance authorizing the
signing of a quitclaim deed in favor of John E. Coury Revocable Trust to enable
issuance of title insurance for a parcel located at 5323 West Glendale Avenue.
27
As a part of settling the estate of John E. Coury, James Coury sought title
insurance policies on all of John's real property interest. The title company reported a
cloud on the title for the property located at 5323 West Glendale Avenue due to the
city's possible interest in a part of the property.
To clear the cloud, James Coury has asked the city to formally relinquish any
and all interest in that part of the property lying north of the main railroad spur line by
executing a quitclaim deed. The city is not being asked to give up any remaining
interest it may have in the main spur line itself, which is often referred to as the "Beet
Sugar Factory Spur", but only in what is referred to as the "side spur".
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt an
ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a quitclaim Deed in favor of the John
E. Coury Revocable Trust.
Ordinance No. 2446 New Series was read by number and title only, it being AN

25. AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE AND SELL GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS
Mr. Ray Shuey, Chief Financial Officer/Finance Director, presented this item.
This is a request for the City Council to adopt an ordinance awarding general
obligation bonds to the lowest responsive bidder and authorizing the issuance of the
bonds. The bond proceeds will fund various projects included in the city's Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP).
In November of 1999, Glendale voters authorized the issuance of $411 million in
bonds for various capital improvements in the city, including flood control projects,
economic development, transit, public works facilities, landfill, water and sewer, park,
street improvements, cultural/historic, economic development, and public safety
projects.
The bonds will be secured by the full faith and credit of the city and are payable
from property taxes levied on all taxable property within the city.
28
Underwriting bids were received on June 14, 2005. Once the proposals were
received from underwriting firms, staff and the city's financial advisor evaluated and
verified the bids received to assure their accuracy and benefit to the city. The Council
can accept the lowest, most responsive bid by adopting the bond ordinance. It is
currently expected that the bond closing will occur on June 28, 2005.
On April 26, 2005, the Council adopted a resolution that authorized the
publication of a notice of the city's intent to sell general obligation bonds in the Glendale
Star, and authorized staff to prepare and distribute the official statement and other bid
documents.
Budgeted CIP projects that will be funded by this transaction include the
downtown campus project, a multi-purpose training facility for fire and police personnel,
the construction and equipping of a new fire station, and upgrading the 9-1-1 telephone
system and fingerprint identification system.
The bonds will be paid from the city's secondary property tax rate. There will be
no increase in the city's total property tax rate as a result of the issuance of the
proposed general obligation bonds.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond title and adopt an ordinance
authorizing the sale and issuance of the principal amount of bonds set forth in the
ordinance, but not to exceed $12,000,000, of general obligation bonds and declaring an
emergency to lock in the interest rate.
Vice Mayor Eggleston commented on the low rate, asking if the rate is
guaranteed. Mr. Shuey said 3.4 percent is the average rate for the bonds. He pointed
out the rate is based on the city's AA credit rating, stating it speaks highly of Glendale
that it received such a low interest rate on non-insured bonds.

PUBLIC HEARING — RESOLUTION
26. FISCAL YEAR 2005-06 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET AND FISCAL
YEAR 2006-2015 PRELIMINARY CAPITAL BUDGET
Ms. Sherry Schurhammer, Management and Budget Director, presented this
item.
This is a request for the City Council to review the Fiscal Year 2005-06
preliminary operating budget and Fiscal Year 2006-15 preliminary capital budget,
conduct a public hearing, and adopt a resolution formally approving the preliminary
operating and capital budget and giving notice of the date for setting the property tax
levy. Council approval of the preliminary budget will set the maximum level of
expenditures for Fiscal Year 2005-06. Adjustments and reallocation of appropriation
authority can be made after adoption of the preliminary budget, but the total amount of
appropriation cannot be increased.
Once the Council approves the preliminary operating and capital budget, a public
notice will be published in a newspaper of general circulation for two weeks, with the
adoption of the final operating and capital budget and the required public hearing
scheduled for June 28, 2005. The property tax levy adoption is also scheduled for June
28, 2005.
Review of the Fiscal Year 2005-06 preliminary operating budget and the Fiscal
Year 2006-15 preliminary capital budget is consistent with the Council's goal of
ensuring the city's financial stability.
A series of Council workshops were conducted in February, March, and April of
2005, to review the proposed Fiscal Year 2005-06 operating budget and the Fiscal Year
2006-15 capital budget, as well as the General Fund (GF) revenue projections for Fiscal
Year 2005-06.
The Fiscal Year 2005-06 operating and capital budget, as reflected in the Fiscal
Year 2005-06 preliminary budget book, is balanced. Some notable additions to the
Fiscal Year 2005-06 budget include:
• the additional ongoing funds required to implement step-based pay plans for
both police and fire sworn personnel and the market-based pay adjustments
for the rest of the city to obtain the most highly qualified staff to provide
services to Glendale residential and business communities;
30
• Approximately $570,000 in one-time funds to address specialized equipment
needs of the Police Department, and $1.3 million in one-time funds for
overtime, vehicle maintenance and background investigations;
• approximately $712,450 in one-time funds to provide paramedic training in
advanced life support for staff assigned to the new fire station that is
scheduled to open in north Glendale in early Fiscal Year 2005-06;
• approximately $120,000 in one-time funds to provide consolidated training
and consulting services for the city's PeopleSoft enterprise software package
used for a variety of functions related to finance, purchasing, asset
management, budget, and human resources;
• approximately $1.4 million in ongoing funds for the city's pavement
management program (for a total of $2.25 million), a long-term maintenance
plan to preserve the high quality of the city's network of streets;
• $3 million in one-time funds to continue acquiring underperforming properties
in the downtown Glendale area; and
• approximately $200,000 for the Neighborhood Improvement Grants program
(for a total of $700,000) to provide capital improvements to various
neighborhoods throughout the city such as right-of-way landscaping
enhancements.
Also, a total of 28 ongoing positions (14.5 positions for the General Fund and
13.5 positions for all other funds) were added to the base budget for Fiscal Year 2005-
06. Some examples of the new positions added to the city's base budget include:
• three fire captains to staff phase I of the Rapid Response Team, an urban
rescue team trained to respond to threats or acts of terrorism, a program that
the City Council approved in July of 2004 when the city formally accepted a
federal homeland security grant;
• two inspectors to ensure compliance with city codes that promote public
health and safety, eliminate conditions that contribute to blight and
deterioration, and preserve the quality of life in neighborhoods;
• one recreation supervisor to work with the construction manager on
equipment purchases and to set up the staffing and program needs prior to
the opening of the new Foothills Recreation & Aquatic Center, the
construction of which commenced in the spring of 2005;
• one service worker to work on the city's graffiti abatement team;
31
• two electronic information specialists to address the ongoing duties related to
maintaining an up-to-date, sophisticated city website that offers residents and
businesses access to e-services and other information;
• nine staff persons for the city's expanding water, wastewater, and sewer
capital operations; and
• one equipment operator to address customer growth in the city's residential
trash and recycling collection program.
On the capital side, the city has committed resources to making the capital
investments needed to meet the needs of the residential and business community. For
example, the design and construction of the emergency operations center (EOC) and
the initial phase of the regional public safety training facility are budgetd for Fiscal Year
2005-06 and Fiscal Year 2006-07. Numerous water, wasterwater, and sewer capital
projects are expected to commence construction during Fiscal Year 2005-06, a
reflection of the city's commitment to devote the necessary resources to maintain and
upgrade the city's potable water system and sanitary sewer system. In addition, several
critical flood control projects are budgeted for Fiscal Year 2005-06.
Fiscal Year 2005-06 General Fund revenues are expected to continue to grow,
with the most notable increase expected in city sales tax revenues. This source alone
is 38% of the city's General Fund revenue budget for Fiscal Year 2005-06.
This revenue source has performed very strongly in recent years. For example,
in Fiscal Year 2003-04, city sales tax revenue actuals were $6.2 million, or 14.4%,
higher the actuals received in Fiscal Year 2002-03. For Fiscal Year 2004-05, city sales
taxes are projected to come in $2.4 million, or 4.8%, higher than the Fiscal Year 2003-
04 actuals. At the end of the 3`d quarter, city sales tax receipts already are $2.1 million
ahead of Fiscal Year 2003-04 actuals. For Fiscal Year 2005-06, the city is expecting
$3.5 million more than the amount the city expects to receive in Fiscal Year 2004-05,
with $1.9 million of that amount attributable to the addition of city sales tax to franchise
fees, a new revenue stream that Glendale voters approved in the May 2005 election.
State-shared revenues represent 32% of the city's General Fund revenue budget
for Fiscal Year 2005-06. The state-shared revenue budget for Fiscal Year 2005-06
equals the actuals received in Fiscal Year 2003-04. This conservative approach is
being taken because of the expected decrease in state-shared revenues in Fiscal Year
2006-07. A mid-decade census will be conducted during Fiscal Year 2005-06, and the
recalculation of Glendale's pro rata portion of state-shared revenues is expected to
mean a $3.4 million loss to Glendale beginning in Fiscal Year 2006-07. By taking this
approach, the city is not building into its operating budget additional ongoing expenses
supported by state-shared revenues.
32
At the end of the third quarter, collections for state-shared revenues are 4.6% or
$1.6 million ahead of collections through the 3rd quarter for Fiscal Year 2003-04. The
Joint Legislative Budget Committee, a bipartisan committee that includes respected
economists from the private sector and the universities, is projecting robust growth —
6.6% for state sales tax receipts, 8.4% for state individual income tax receipts, and
19.1% for state corporate income tax receipts — for Fiscal Year 2005-06. Given this
outlook and the city's conservative approach to budgeting this revenue source, the city
believes the impact of the mid-decade census on state-shared revenues will not result
in any operating budget reductions for the city.
The first budget workshop with the Council occurred on March 15, 2005. This
workshop covered an overview of the Fiscal Year 2005-06 general fund proposed
budget, the recommended City Manager priority supplemental requests related to total
compensation and risk management, as well as the supplemental requests for the
Human Resources (HR) Department.
The second budget workshop with the Council occurred on March 22, 2005.
This workshop covered the Fire Department, the Police Department, Homeland
Security/Special Projects, the Appointed Officials Group, the Elected Officials, and the
Internal Services Group.
The third budget workshop with the Council occurred on March 29, 2005. This
workshop covered the departments that comprise the Public Works Group, the
Community Information & Services Group (with the exception of the Parks and
Recreation Department), and the Community Development Group.
The fourth budget workshop with the Council occurred on April 5, 2005. This
workshop covered the Preliminary CIP Report, which was originally distributed to the
Council on February 15, 2005.
The fifth budget workshop with the Council occurred on April 12, 2005. This
workshop covered CIP material not completed at the fourth budget workshop, including
pay-as-you-go capital projects; CIP O&M supplemental requests for the Civic Center,
Economic Development Department, Field Operations Department, and the Parks
Department; the Parks Department's operating budget supplemental requests; the
utilities needs assessment, utilities CIP, and utilities CIP O&M supplemental requests;
and the Glendale Onboard (GO) Transportation operating and capital programs.
The sixth budget workshop with the Council occurred on April 19, 2005. This
workshop covered the supplemental requests related to the stadium and Westgate
developments. As part of these discussions, information about the overall revenue and
expenditure situation for city services provided for the stadium development was
presented, along with information about the debt service requirements for the arena
and the expected revenue from arena and Westgate operations. Also discussed at the
April 19, 2005 workshop were supplemental requests related to national sporting events
scheduled for 2006 through 2008. The workshop closed with a discussion about the
33
financing options available to move the EOC and related infrastructure, along with
Phase I (Glendale only) of the Public Safety Training Facility, forward to Fiscal Year
2005-06 and Fiscal Year 2006-07. Included in this discussion was information about
capital projects that the Council could chose to defer in order to move forward the EOC
project.
The Council reviewed the Fiscal Year 2005-06 General Fund revenue projection
at the February 15, 2005 workshop.
The Council was given the Fiscal Year 2005-06 budget workbook on February
28, 2005 for review prior to the scheduled budget workshop discussions. This
workbook contained the following information:
• the City Manager's memo on the Fiscal Year 2005-06 recommended
operating budget
• the Fiscal Year 2005-06 General Fund budget balancing summary, and
• the ongoing and one-time supplemental requests, including those related to
new capital projects coming online in Fiscal Year 2005-06, that are being
recommended for funding from the General Fund, the enterprise funds, and
all other funds.
The City of Glendale's budget is an important financial, planning, and public
communication tool. It gives residents and businesses a clear and concrete view of the
city's direction for public services and operations and a better understanding of the
city's ongoing needs for stable revenue sources to fund public services and ongoing
operations.
The budget also provides Council and residents with a means to evaluate the
city's financial stability.
All budget workshops were open to the public and were posted publicly per State
requirements.
The annual budget (all funds) for the City of Glendale is divided into four major
components, which include all appropriations for the city. The total budget, including all
four components, is $730 million. The four components and their respective total
amounts for Fiscal Year 2005-06 are as follows:
• The operating budget finances the day-to-day provision of city services and
totals $290 million (all funds);
• The capital improvement budget funds the construction of city facilities, such
as roads and buildings. For Fiscal Year 2005-06, the capital improvement
budget totals $326.5 million (all funds);
34
• The debt service budget is used to repay money borrowed by the city,
primarily for capital improvements, and totals $47.4 million (all funds); and
• The final component of the budget is the contingency appropriation, which is
made up of fund reserves and is available to cover emergency expenses or
revenue shortages. The contingency appropriation for Fiscal Year 2005-06
totals $66.1 million (all funds).
The recommendation was to conduct a public hearing, waive reading beyond the
title, and adopt a resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2005-06 preliminary operating
budget and Fiscal Year 2006-15 preliminary capital budget and giving notice of the date
for a public hearing on setting the property tax levy.
Mayor Scruggs opened the public hearing on Agenda Item No. 26. As there
were no comments, Mayor Scruggs closed the public hearing.
Resolution No. 3867 New Series was read by number and title only, it being A
