construction management, and a construction contract with Holl-Wenn Construction,
Inc. for installation of the 61st Avenue Relief Sewer. A transfer of funds is also
requested to complete the construction.
One of Council's strategic goals is high quality service for citizens. This project
will improve the 61st Avenue sewer line by increasing the carrying capacity from
Northern to Alice avenues.
The existing sewer in 61st Avenue from Northern to Alice Avenues is eight inches
in diameter, relatively shallow, and was installed in the middle to late 1960's. Since the
time of its installation, a significant amount of multi-family housing has been constructed
in its service area, with the result being that the sewer is currently at its design capacity.
Entellus, Inc. has completed the engineering design phase of the project as
covered in the existing PSA with the city. Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with Entellus,
Inc. provides construction management services.
12
On August 10, 2006, six bids were received and opened for the construction
contract. Staff and consultant reviewed the bids and HoII-Wenn Construction, Inc., a
licensed and qualified contractor, submitted the lowest responsive bid.
Council approved the PSA for the design contract with Entellus, Inc. on May 25,
2004 to design the relief sewer line.
The project will improve the sewer system in 61st Avenue between Northern to
Alice Avenues, improving the quality of life for those residents in the surrounding
neighborhood through increased carrying capacity.
Funds of $67,269.86 for Amendment No. 1 are available in Fiscal Year 2006-07
Capital Improvement Program, 61st Ave Sewer Line.
Funds of $128,173.55 are available in the 61st Ave Sewer Line account 2420-
63012-550800 for the Fiscal Year 2006-07 Capital Improvement Plan. A transfer of

63016-550800 to the 61st Ave Sewer Line account 2420-63012-550800 is requested to

15. AWARD OF PHASE ONE FINAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT — PUBLIC
SAFETY TRAINING CENTER
This is a request for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into the

LC, for Phase I of the Public Safety Training Center.
This contract is for the construction of the training building, training props, police
firing range, associated parking and landscaping of the driving training track.
13
The Public Safety Training Center and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will
provide a new resource for the training of fire and police personnel and a centralized
control of emergency operations in the city. The ability to meet the future demands for
trained public safety personnel and improve command and control of emergency
operations will help ensure the public's safety.
The growth of the metropolitan area along with the projected attrition of
personnel for the next decade has created the need for a regional training facility
located in the West Valley.
The current training accommodations are at critical limits. The only training
facility for firefighters from the West Valley is at the Phoenix Regional Training
Academy. Nineteen communities in the Valley, including Glendale, utilize this facility.
Partnerships with various West Valley cities and with Maricopa Community
College District (MCCD) will enhance the function and value of the training and
continuing education of fire and police personnel, and ensure the number of trained
public safety staff is available for the protection of the community.
On May 23, 2006, Council authorized the transfer of $500,000 in appropriation
and funds from FY 2005-06 General Fund Contingency, Account No. 01-2450-7000 to
the EOC Equipment PAYGO Account No. 01-8218-8400 for the purchase of equipment
for the EOC.
On March 28, 2006, Council approved the second construction contract with D.L.
Withers Construction, LC, for the construction of the administration and classroom
building, associated underground utilities, a section of the parking lot and a section of

16. AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT: BETHANY HOME ROAD STREET
AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, 75Th TO 83RD AVENUES
This is a request for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into a
construction contract with Achen-Gardner Engineering, LLC, for the Bethany Home
Road Street and Drainage Improvement, between 75th and 83rd Avenues. The project
includes the construction of approximately 1,500 lineal feet of 108-inch diameter storm
drain, and a bridge over the Grand Canal.
This project will help fulfill Council's goal of providing high quality services for
citizens by improving the transportation and drainage facilities within the area.
Planning for this project began several years ago when it became necessary to
realign Bethany Home Road to provide a safer intersection with Bethany Home Road
and 83rd Avenue. The project will allow for the extension of Bethany Home Road
between 83rd and 91St Avenues and the traffic interchange with the Loop 101. The
street improvements include the construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping,
streetlights, traffic signals, underground conversion of the existing overhead utilities,
and asphalt pavement. The project also includes the relocation of a pressure-reducing
valve at 75th Avenue and Bethany Home Road to provide a safer working environment
for the Utility Department. A storm drain is also being constructed as part of this project
15
to provide an outlet for the future storm drains serving the downtown area and connect
the Bethany Home Outfall Channel.
On August 3, 2006, five bids were received and opened with Achen-Gardner
Engineering, LLC, a licensed and qualified contractor, submitting the lowest bid in the
amount of $6,134,398.70.
On February 24, 2004, Council awarded a professional services agreement with
Earth Tech to design the street and storm drain improvements.
In March 2001, Council entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the
Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCD) for the purpose of cost sharing on the
design, construction, and property acquisition for the Bethany Home Outfall Channel.
This agreement also included cost sharing for the storm drain in Bethany Home Road
between 83rd and 58th Avenues. The agreement stated that the FCD would reimburse
the city for 50% of the cost of design and construction of the storm drain in Bethany
Home Road.
The Bethany Home Road street realignment and storm drain will benefit the city
by providing a safer intersection with 83rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road. It will also
provide the first step in construction of a storm drain that will eventually relieve flooding
problems in the southerly portion of the city.
A public meeting was held on the Bethany Home Road project on February 16,
2005. Among those that attended, twenty-three citizens signed the attendance roster.
Funds for the construction of the street and storm drain improvements are
available in various project budgets in the current Capital Improvement Program. A
transfer of $510,000 of contingency appropriation authority only is required from
Roadway Improvements Development Impact Fee Contingency, Account No. 1600-
12029-510200, to Bethany Home Road, 75th- 83rd Avenues, Account No. 1600-67810-

17. AGREEMENT AWARD FOR PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT OF EVENT
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
This is a request for City Council to ratify an agreement with Gameday
Management Group for planning and management of event transportation services.
The agreement term is for one year from the date of execution by the Council.
Transportation services include providing buses and personnel for shuttle bus services
to and from the city parking lot located at 91st and Orangewood Avenues and the
stadium.
One of Council's goals is to provide high quality services to citizens. Provision of
this agreement will assist in the coordination of exceptional service delivery for
residents and visitors to Glendale during events at the stadium.
This approval request is a retroactive authorization due to the timing of final
negotiations with the Cardinals on the overall stadium-parking plan. Furthermore, an
agreement for shuttle services was not completed until August 1 , 2006 due to ongoing
parking plan discussions during Council break. Per the agreement with the Arizona
Cardinals and Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority (AZSTA), shuttle bus service is to
be provided to people parking in the city lot located at 91St and Orangewood Avenues.
Pursuant to Glendale City Code, section 2-145(1)(g), the City Manager may
waive formal purchasing procedures to avoid unnecessary delay and or expense.
Waiving the formal purchasing procedures allowed the city to meet contractual
obligations made with the Arizona Cardinals and AZSTA. Upon final determination of
service required, four companies were contacted to submit an offer to provide event
transportation service including shuttle bus service. Gameday Management Group was
selected to provide the service. Gameday Management Group provided event
transportation services for the first stadium event scheduled August 12, 2006 in which
the city needed to provide services.
Gameday Management Group is a Florida based event management company
with experience at the 1996 World Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, the 1999 Men's
College Basketball Final Four, the Daytona International Raceway, and eight
Superbowls, including the upcoming Superbowl XLI in Jacksonville, Florida.
Council approved one-time budget supplementals in the Fiscal Year 2006-07
budget for Stadium Transportation Plan Implementation in the amount of $484,000.
The monies requested were to cover the costs of opening day and ongoing costs of
implementing parking and shuttle plans for Arizona Cardinal football games.

20. APPLICATION FOR 2006 TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT FUNDS FOR
EXTENSION OF GRAND CANAL PATHWAY
This is a request for City Council to authorize an application for 2006
Transportation Enhancement funds and acceptance of the grant award. The Arizona
Department of Transportation (ADOT) requires a formal resolution from the Glendale
City Council authorizing submission of the application and the required matching funds.
The application is to extend the Grand Canal pathway from Loop 101 to New
River located at approximately 107th Avenue.
One of Council's goals is to provide high quality services to citizens. Improving
and providing transportation options within the city will assist in achieving this goal.
In November of 2001, Glendale voters approved the half-cent transportation
sales tax package, including a ballot map of bicycle and pedestrian projects that
included the Grand Canal Multi-use Path from Loop 101 to New River.
This project will be another step in the completion of a multi-use pathway system
in Glendale. It will connect the existing Grand Canal pathway to Glendale's planned
New River Multi-use path. Glendale's existing Thunderbird Paseo and Skunk Creek
pathways will also connect to the Grand Canal pathway via planned trails along the
New River in Glendale and Peoria, which will provide a direct connection to the Grand
Canal pathway in south Glendale. Once completed, Glendale will have one of the
premier off-street pathway systems in the Valley. The Grand Canal Multi-Use path has
also been identified as a key segment in the Maricopa Association of Government's
Regional Off-Street System Plan as well as the Maricopa County Trails System Plan.
When completed these pathways will provide the citizens of Glendale with off-street
transportation options.
The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) ranked this enhancement
project as one of the top five proposals in the county. MAG will recommend this project
to ADOT for funding if the City Council approves its submission.
20
Council approved funds for the project in the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Capital
Improvement Program budget.
Allowing users of the multi-use pathway to avoid busy arterials streets in the area
will enhance public safety. By making bicycling and walking more convenient and safe,
the overall quality of life will be enhanced for Glendale residents.
In 2001, voters approved a half-cent transportation sales tax ballot question,
which included this project. The project has also been reviewed and approved for
inclusion in the GO Program by the Citizen Bicycle Advisory Committee and the Citizen
Transportation Oversight Commission.
The estimated cost for construction of the project is $678,268. The grant
application requests $500,000. The city's required contribution for matching funds is
$178,268.

Mr. Larry Broyles, City Engineer, presented this item.
This is a request for City Council to adopt an ordinance to dedicate city-owned
property as additional right-of-way along the north side of Glendale Avenue and along
the south side of Cabela Drive, east of 95th Avenue; to dedicate a public utility
easement along the south side of Cabela Drive, east of 95th Avenue; and to dedicate
27
perpetual easements for the city's water and sewer lines providing service to the
Cabela's site.
The installation of infrastructure to serve the Cabela's store and other
developments in the Zanjero subdivision resulted in the need for dedication of
additional rights-of-way and relocation of the adjacent public utility easement. The city
currently holds title to portions of the needed areas along the north side of Glendale
Avenue and along the south side of Cabela Drive, east of 95th Avenue. In developing
the Cabela's site, the city installed certain necessary water and sewer lines. Dedication
of perpetual easements for these facilities will protect the city's facilities on this site.
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 additional rights-of-way along the north side of Glendale Avenue and
along the south side of Cabela Drive, east of 95th Avenue; for the dedication of a new
public utility easement adjacent to Cabela Drive, east of 95th Avenue; and for perpetual
easements for the city's water and sewer lines and related facilities.
Ordinance No. 2524 New Series was read by number and title only, it being AN
ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA
COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE DEDICATION OF ADDITIONAL RIGHTS-
OF-WAY ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF GLENDALE AVENUE AND ALONG THE

OF A NEW PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT ADJACENT TO CABELA DRIVE, EAST OF
95TH AVENUE; AND FOR PERPETUAL EASEMENTS FOR THE CITY'S WATER AND
SEWER LINES AND RELATED FACILITIES; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED
COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE BE RECORDED.

No. 2524 New Series. Motion carried on a roll call vote, with the following

26. FOOTHILLS PARK AND SKATE COURT CONCESSIONS
Ms. Becky Benna, Parks and Recreation Director, presented this item.
This is a request for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into a
lease agreement with Action Park Alliance (APA) to provide retail, concessions,
equipment rental and repair, and programs for the Foothills Park and Skate Court,
located at 57th Avenue and Union Hills Drive.
28
The agreement addresses the Council's strategic goal to provide high quality
services for our citizens. The agreement also addresses several strategic priorities,
including ensuring public safety and awareness, coordinating exceptional service
delivery through an integrated approach, strengthening community relationships,
creating new partnerships, and enhancing the quality of life for Glendale residents.
In January of 2005, the Parks and Recreation Department advertised a Request
for Proposal (RFP) to provide management, concession and pro shop services at
Foothills Regional Skate Court. One proposal was received from Action Park Alliance,
Inc. (APA), located in California. Notices were sent to Glendale skate and bike shops
to solicit proposals from local vendors as well as national vendors. However, no local
vendors responded or attended the pre-proposal conference to clarify questions related
to the request for proposals.
In addition, during the summer of 2005, staff began development of a
management plan for the Foothills Park and Skate Court. The process to develop the
plan included surveying other cities regarding their management and maintenance
practices, talking with businesses and schools located near the park, and analysis of
the Foothills Park and Skate Court uses and issues. As a result, the plan's focus is to
provide consistent standards and practices for the facility and addresses four main
areas: safety and maintenance, communication, programming and operations.
One of the elements of the management plan is to provide a professional pro
shop and concessionaire on-site to serve the park and skate court users. Once the
plan was finalized, staff began design of a concessions facility located in the park and
adjacent to the skate court. It also began negotiations with APA to provide
professional, adult-supervised pro shop, concessions and programming services. As a
result, the proposed agreement includes the following:
Sale of food and non-alcoholic refreshments; sale, rental and repair of
skateboarding and in-line skating equipment; and partnering with the Parks and
Recreation Department to offer and promote programs and events in the skate court.
The initial term of the proposed agreement is for five years and could be
renewed for another five-year term, unless either party chooses to terminate within 90
days of renewal. There would be no operating costs to the city for utilizing APA's
services.
APA would not be charged rent the first six months of the lease to allow for start-
up preparation of the concessions and pro shop. Second six months - APA would pay
$800 per month to the city. Years two through five - $800 per month and 5% of the
gross annual revenues above the $300,000 level or 6% of the gross annual revenues
above the $500,000
29
In addition, pending satisfactory performance at the Foothills facility, APA would
also have first right of refusal for providing concession and pro shop services to the
future western area park facility.
Staff also verified the high quality and consistency of APA's services provided to
the cities of Orlando, Florida and San Diego, California that have utilized APA's
services over several years and continue to use their services. Both cities provided
excellent referrals.
Staff presented the proposal submitted by APA to the Parks and Recreation
Commission at its March 2005 meeting for discussion and input. At the Commission's
meeting in July 2005, staff also presented a management plan for the Foothills Park
and Skate Court facility. One of the elements of the plan included developing a
contract with APA to provide pro shop and concessions services, as well as programs
and events to the park and skate court, but not supervise and manage the skate court.
In October of 2005, a citizen skate court advisory committee was formed that
includes representatives from local businesses, schools, skate court users, parents,
police, and neighborhood partnership, library and parks and recreation staff. The
committee meets on a regular basis to discuss and address programming and volunteer
opportunities, and behavior at the park and at area businesses.
The management plan has assisted staff in monitoring and managing park and
skate court use and created open communication and partnerships with the area
businesses and schools.
Through Action Park Alliance's sports expertise, professional sports affiliation
and highly trained staff, the community will benefit from the offering of various youth
programs, local demonstrations, and special events. In addition, the concessionaire
would provide the park and skate court users professional, adult-supervised pro shop
and concession services on-site during the park and skate court hours of operations.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond title and adopt an ordinance
authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Action Park Alliance for
the operation of the Foothills Park and Skate Court Concessions and Pro Shop.
Councilmember Frate said he thought this was a project that needed to be
addressed. He said it is very exciting to see this come to the Foothills Park. He
indicated he likes the idea of the concession stand to sell food and drinks so kids don't
have to cross the street.
Councilmember Lieberman noted that two other parties had been interested in
the park's development but never came forward. He said he is glad that the
development is coming in now.
30
Mayor Scruggs added that this development is great for the kids. She further
added it would keep them safer by not crossing the street for refreshments. She
wished the project coordinators luck with the project.

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mr. Milt Deever, a resident of the City of Glendale, Cholla District, expressed his
dissatisfaction with the city's public record request process. He made two public record
requests, one was for tax information for the Glendale Arena and the other related to
construction documents. He said he received the wrong information. He stated that the
confusion might be in the submission process. He said that there is a small amount of
space to request information and it might confuse the reader. He also added that under
Article XIII, Sec. 1 of the City Charter states that all records must be open to all citizens.
He said that the City Manager is in charge of the information getting to the people and
that in the future he will invoke his rights as a citizen under this article.
Rev. Trina Zelle, a resident of the City of Glendale, explained she is the Director
of Interfaith Worker Justice of Arizona. She began by thanking Mr. Horatio Skeete,
Deputy City Manager, for his kind response to her letter. She then expressed her
concerns about worker treatment, specifically the workers on the Oasis Water Plant.
She asked the City Council to develop guidelines for contractors and subcontractors to
adhere to fair and equal treatment of workers.
31
Mr. Jose Corrales, a resident of Phoenix, spoke with Mr. Juan Ramirez
translating. Mr. Corrales complained about the contractor's treatment of workers at the
Oasis Water Treatment Plant.
Mr. Juan Ramirez, a resident of the City of Glendale, expressed this concern

Plant, and he believes the company treats the workers badly. He said he is asking the
