This proclamation is consistent with the Council goal of providing high-quality services for citizens. The Rizzo family has been committed to developing youth through sports. Peter Rizzo, father of five children, coached youth sports teams for many years and Maureen Rizzo taught elementary education and was a scout leader. All five Rizzo children benefited greatly from their participation in various youth sports and community programs. The entire Rizzo family has participated in some way to realize this dream and to give back to the community. Prior to purchasing Desert Mirage Golf Course, the Rizzo family committed to researching the community and found that the Desert Mirage community had a very large youth base. As the Rizzo family was taking over the operation of the golf course, family members developed a mission that focused on opportunities for the youth in the community. Programming opportunities that didn't exist before are now commonplace. The high quality golf instruction provides a variety of choices for the experienced golfer or the newcomer. The Rizzo family has always been dedicated to preserving the traditions and integrity of golf and fostering the growth and development of children through golf and promoting sportsmanship, self-confidence, honesty, and perseverance. Tony Rizzo, General Manager of Desert Mirage Golf Course and the oldest son, immediately saw a need for a strong youth golf program and one of his goals was to find the best available program that shared the same values as the family. His thorough research led him to the First Tee program. The First Tee program strives to impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf. The Thunderbirds Junior Golf Association, headed by Tim Kloenne, was a perfect partner in helping the Rizzo family business become a First Tee facility. The Thunderbirds' influence will be ongoing and staff will assist the golf course with managing the program, identifying fundraising opportunities, and providing opportunities for the youth in the west valley. Glendale is a growing community with a commitment to youth and a perfect fit for the First Tee of Phoenix facility at the City of Glendale's Desert Mirage Golf Course, which is one of only two in Arizona. 4 The City of Glendale Parks and Recreation Department and Desert Mirage Golf Course share a similar youth sports philosophies. Both partners believe in providing a positive experience where fun, skill development, fair play, sportsmanship, teamwork, and a safe environment are stressed. The objectives include the development of positive social values and character traits, good citizenship, and the encouragement of health and wellness through physical activity. Staff supports the Proclamation of Appreciation to the Rizzo Family. Mayor Scruggs presented a Proclamation of Appreciation to the Rizzo family for their dedication in providing the youth of Glendale opportunities to learn the game of golf and for establishing Desert Mirage Golf Course as a First Tee facility. The Proclamation was accepted on behalf of the Rizzo family by Tony Rizzo. Mr. Rizzo thanked the Mayor and Council and introduced members of his family, Heather Lange, Joe Rizzo, Andrew Rizzo, Teresa Rizzo, and Maureen Rizzo. He said their goals were to provide children with an opportunity to learn life skills while enjoying a game they have all come to love.

CONSENT AGENDA Mr. Ed Beasley, City Manager, read Agenda Item Numbers 1 and 2 and Ms. Pamela Hanna, City Clerk, read consent agenda resolutions numbers 3 through 7 by number and title. 1. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT — UTILITIES SECURITY SYSTEM This is a request for the City Council to approve the professional services agreement with CH2M Hill, Inc. for the design and construction administration services of the security system improvements for the city's water and wastewater facilities as identified and recommended in the Security System Master Plan. Water is a key resource to the community and the city's Utilities Department is responsible for providing and protecting water services to the citizens consistent with Federal and State regulations. As part of these provided services, the Utilities Department completed an assessment of the city's water system. The assessment analyzed each of the city's water system facilities and provided recommendations. 6 Following the assessment, requests for qualification were sent to several professional engineering firms to complete the Security Master Plan for the entire Utilities system and an assessment for the wastewater system. The professional engineering firm CH2M Hill, Inc. was selected and the Council approved their professional services contract. These contracted services have been finalized. The current proposed professional services agreement covers the next phase - the security system design services and construction administration services of the security system improvements. These services include: water and wastewater treatment plants; water reservoirs; sewer lift stations and interceptors; the wastewater contaminant monitoring system, and updating of the Utilities Department's Emergency Response Plan. On January 25, 2005, the Council approved a professional services agreement with CH2M Hill, Inc. to develop a Utilities Security System Master Plan. The design and implementation of the Utilities Security System will further enhance Glendale's water and wastewater systems. The Engineering and Utilities Departments staff developed a scope of work and negotiated the fee for the design and construction administration services in an amount not to exceed $1,975,373. Funds for these services are available in the Fiscal Year 2005-06 Capital Improvement Plan, Water System Security. Grants Capital Expense One-Time Cost Budgeted Unbudgeted Total X X $1,975,373 Account Name, Fund, Account and Line Item Number: Water System Security, Account No. 83-9285-8330 The recommendation as to approve the professional services agreement with CH2M Hill, Inc. for the design and construction administration services of the security system improvements for the city's water and wastewater facilities, in an amount not to exceed $1,975,373. 2. CONTINGENCY FUND TRANSFER REQUEST FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIAL PROJECTS This is a request for the City Council to approve a transfer of general fund contingency appropriation authority and funds in the amount of $500,000 to cover the additional anticipated costs associated with special projects. Occasionally it is necessary for the city to engage outside counsel or consultants to provide advice on special projects. This necessity arises from statutory, ethical and resource management considerations. 7 The citizens of Glendale are served by city officials' efficient use of resources and compliance with legal and ethical requirements. This transaction will require the transfer of appropriation authority and funds of $500,000 from the Fiscal Year 2005-06 General Fund Contingency to Special Projects. This will result in a reduction of general fund contingency appropriation authority for Fiscal Year 2005-06 and a reduction in the general fund balance. Account Name, Fund, Account and Line Item Number: From General Fund Contingency, Account No. 01-2450-7000 to Special Projects Fees/Costs, Account No. 01-1511-7330. The recommendation was to authorize the transfer of $500,000 in appropriation authority and funds from Fiscal Year 2005-06 General Fund Contingency, Account No. 01-2450-7000 to Special Projects Fees/Costs, Account No. 01-1511-7330. CONSENT RESOLUTIONS 3. RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE GLENDALE BRANCH OF THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF METROPOLITAN PHOENIX This is a request for the City Council to adopt a resolution supporting the Glendale Branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix's (BGCMP) application for a grant from the Gila River Indian Community State-Shared Revenue Program. The BGCMP is requesting $300,000 over a two-year period to help construct the new Glendale Branch facility that will be located adjacent to the Harold W. Smith Magnet School, 6534 North 63rd Avenue in Glendale, and to support the first year of operation of the facility's Learning Center. In order to apply for this grant, the Gila River Indian Community grant procedures require the BGCMP to obtain a resolution of support for the project and agreement from the Council to act as fiscal agent for the grant. The BGCMP grant proposal contributes to the Council's goals of one community, high-quality services and strong neighborhoods. The creative partnerships evident in this project will maximize the educational and social enrichment programs and recreational services available to Glendale's youth during their formative years. In 2002, Arizona voters 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". The Gila River Indian Community developed a competitive grant-making program to comply with this requirement. The 8 program is open to non-profit organizations, provided the organization obtains a formal resolution of support and agreement to act as fiscal agent from the appropriate local government. The BGCMP is building a new 20,000 square foot facility that will include a Learning Center with a library, computer laboratory, homework and tutoring support programs, and other educational enrichment programs geared to help participants improve their academic performance and develop adult life skills. The Learning Center will have a full-time education coordinator who will work closely with the Glendale Elementary School District and Smith Magnet School to improve scholastic performance and reduce school failure rates. The Glendale Branch will enroll approximately 800 club members, ages 6 through 18, in its after-school and all-day summer programs. Another 1,000 children and youth will participate in a variety of academic enrichment and recreational programs and the Branch will be open each night until 8 p.m. during the school year, and until 6 p.m. in the summer. The facility will also house a gymnasium, a teen club, an art room, game rooms, and a cafeteria. Membership fees will be reasonable, and financial assistance will be available. The BGCMP has worked closely with the Glendale Elementary School District, the City of Glendale's Parks and Recreation Department, and other community agencies, professional sports teams, and local businesses to ensure the facilities, amenities and program services will meet the specific needs of Glendale's families and children. To date, almost $3 million has been raised in the capital campaign, including $500,000 from Mr. Jerry Moyes; $500,000 from Swift Charities for Children; $1 million from the National Football League; $96,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and $450,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, covering Fiscal Year 2005-06 and Fiscal Year 2006-07. The Community Revitalization Division, the Parks and Recreation Department and the city Grants Administrator reviewed the BGCMP application and the funding process, and are supportive of the community benefit this grant would provide Glendale residents. The long-term partnership between the BGCMP and the city has enabled both organizations to maximize their resources and services to Glendale residents and reduce unnecessary duplication. This close relationship will continue at the new facility. According to U.S. census data, Glendale has the largest number of households with children under the age of 18 (44%) in the entire state. The new Glendale Branch will replace the existing facility, which is outdated and inadequate for the growing needs of Glendale's youth. It will be in a more accessible downtown Glendale location adjacent to the Smith Magnet School on property donated by the District for this purpose. At Smith Magnet School, more than 80% of the students are eligible for subsidized meals and face substantial educational challenges, social risks and economic pressures. With its wide array of educational enrichment programs and recreational opportunities, the new Glendale Branch will help meet the needs of youths 9 throughout the city without regard to their socio-economic situation, as well as provide supportive services to local neighborhood youth, based on their individual needs. This grant will have no significant impact on the city's budget and requires no additional funding. The city will act as fiscal agent and the Community Revitalization Division will administer the grant, if awarded. The city has already awarded $250,000 in CDBG funding in Fiscal Year 2005-06 to the project, and $200,000 has been approved for award in Fiscal Year 2006-07. Gila River Indian Community grant-related administrative activities can be absorbed with no significant impact on the division's ability to administer its primary programs. The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix application for a $300,000 grant for the Glendale Branch facility from the Gila River Indian Community State-Shared Revenue Program. Resolution No. 3949 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 GLENDALE BRANCH OF THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF METROPOLITAN PHOENIX. 4. ACQUISITION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS This is a request for the City Council to authorize the purchase of two properties to complete Glendale Onboard (GO) intersection improvement projects at a total cost of $14,586. One of the Council's goals is to provide high-quality services for citizens. Improving and providing transportation options within the city will assist in achieving this goal. Scalloped streets and intersection improvement projects have been previously identified in the GO Program. The city needs to obtain additional right-of-way in order to construct related street improvements that include right turn lanes, bus bays, and merge lanes, as well as new curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and landscaping. The two properties needed for acquisition are described below: Southwest Corner of Glendale and 80th Avenues Dr. Suchart, owner of property located at the southwest corner of Glendale and 80th Avenues, will sell approximately 253 square feet of property towards improvements at this intersection. The property owner is willing to grant a temporary easement to the city on the property for construction of improvements. 10 The property owner will be compensated a total of $760 for the right-of-way. Closing costs for this property are $295. Northwest Corner of 67th and Glendale Avenues Detterman, owner of property located at the northeast corner of 67th and Glendale Avenues, will sell approximately 566 square feet of property towards improvements at this intersection. In addition, the property owner is willing to (1) grant a temporary construction easement, (2) maintain landscaping, and (3) grant a related SRP easement. The property owner will be compensated a total of $12,326 for the right-of-way, temporary construction easement, and SRP aerial easement. Closing costs for this property are $1,205. GO Program improvements are being made to streets, transit, and pedestrian facilities. These projects will provide new pedestrian facilities and an aerial easement for SRP. The GO Program provides multiple opportunities for public input. This year, an annual report was mailed to all Glendale households, a transportation fair was held on April 9, 2006, and a community meeting for the annual report was held on April 19, 2006. Project specific public meetings will be conducted by the Engineering Department. City of Glendale funds for right-of-way acquisition and improvements are budgeted as part of the GO Transportation Program. Closing costs for the above two properties total $1 ,500. Grants Capital Expense One-Time Cost Budgeted Unbudgeted Total X X $14,586 Account Name, Fund, Account and Line Item Number 7511h/83rd Glendale — Street Improvements, Account No. 33-9486-8100 The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to purchase the right-of-way for the Glendale Onboard (GO) Transportation Program.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE FOR CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES This is a request for the City Council to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Governor's Office for Children, Youth and Families Division for Women (Children's Justice Act) to purchase digital recording equipment for the West Valley Advocacy Center. Victim interview recordings are used in the prosecution of child and adult sex crimes. The new digital recording equipment will improve the quality of the recorded interviews, which will assist in successful prosecution of sexual assault cases. Funding became available from the Governor's Office for Children, Youth and Families Division for Women through the Children's Justice Act to be used for equipment at Advocacy Centers throughout the State of Arizona. In the fall of 2005, the West Valley Advocacy Center applied for a grant to upgrade the facility's digital recording equipment. On February 9, 2006, the City was notified that it would receive a grant in the amount of $4,724.37 in order to upgrade digital recording capabilities. There is no financial match required for this funding. A specific account will be established in Fund 47, the city's grant fund, once the grant agreements are formally executed. Grants Capital Expense One-Time Cost Budgeted Unbudgeted Total X X $4,724.37 The recommendation was to waive reading beyond title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Governor's Office for Children, Youth and Families Division (Children's Justice Act) to purchase equipment for the West Valley Advocacy Center. Resolution No. 3951 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 ENTERING INTO OF AN INTER- GOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE FOR CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES FOR THE PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT FOR THE WEST VALLEY ADVOCACY CENTER. 6. AMENDMENT TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA COUNTY TO PROVIDE SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICES This is a request for the City Council to adopt a resolution authorizing an amendment to the existing Intergovernmental Agreement with Maricopa County Special Transportation Services (STS) that provides transit services to the citizens of Glendale. 12 One of the Council goals is to provide high-quality services to the citizens of Glendale. This item supports that goal by ensuring elderly, low-income, and disabled residents continue to have an optional method of transportation when traveling to destinations outside of Glendale. The agreement with Maricopa County is to provide special transportation services to people traveling outside of Glendale. The original agreement provided 1,204 one-way trips at a cost of $16.16 per trip, not to exceed $19,457 for Fiscal Year 2005/06. Due to the high utilization of this program, we have exceeded that allotted total. This amendment asks to provide an additional 928 trips at the previous listed cost per trip, not to exceed $15,000. Maricopa County STS provides an affordable transit option to elderly, low- income and disabled citizens in Glendale needing transportation to destinations outside the city for social, medical or employment purposes. The service reduces the need for passengers to transfer from one city service to another at city boundaries, and is the only city-funded transit service that crosses into to other cities. Funds for this amendment are budgeted in the Fixed Route division of the GO Transportation Program. Grants Capital Expense One-Time Cost Budgeted Unbudgeted Total X $15,000 Account Name, Fund, Account and Line Item Number: Fixed Route — 25-6354-7330 The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the amendment of the intergovernmental agreement with Maricopa County Special Transportation Services for the provision of transit services in an amount not to exceed $15,000. Resolution No. 3952 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 AMENDMENT 1 TO THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT FOR A SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICES PROGRAM. 7. REQUEST FOR INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT FOR JURY SERVICES This is a request for the City Council to authorize entering into an intergovernmental agreement with Maricopa County Superior Court to provide the City 13 Court with qualified jurors for jury trials. The agreement will be in effect from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2010. The Maricopa County Superior Court has provided jury services based on similar agreements with Glendale since 1993. Negotiations have been ongoing since the expiration of the last agreement. The agreement includes annual payments of $71 for developing the programming for the initial jury list source file and ongoing database matches with various agencies to maintain the accuracy of addresses. The agreement also includes a $1 .25 charge for printing and postage for each jury questionnaire and summons. Approximately 200 mailings are accomplished each month. Funds are available in City Court operational budget, 01-1410-7920. The cost of jury summonses (this IGA) is estimated to be approximately $3,100 per year (or a total of $15,500 for the duration of the five-year IGA), which is included as part of the total "Jury Fees" line item in the City Court's budget. The agreement will be in effect from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2010. Grants Capital Expense One-Time Cost Budgeted Unbudgeted Total X $15,500 Account Name, Fund, Account and Line Item Number: City Court Operational Budget (01-1410-7920) The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the entering into of an intergovernmental agreement with Maricopa County Superior Court to provide Glendale City Court with qualified jurors for jury trials.

He stated over the past five years Glendale has taken steps that have caused it to become one of the top five cities in the state. He pointed out other cities throughout the state have facilities named after various people they consider to be hometown heroes. He said he remembers going to hear Marty Robbins play and for a number of years Glendale has held a tribute in his honor.

He asked the Council to name the pedestrian bridge over Grand Avenue after Mr. Robbins and proclaim a Marty Robbins week.
