PROCLAMATIONS AND AWARDS
PROCLAMATION OF APPRECIATION TO SINE HARDWARE
This is a request for City Council to recognize Sine Hardware on the occasion of
its 95th anniversary. Sine Hardware will hold a three-day celebration on October 13, 14,
and 15, 2006 to celebrate its 95 years in the community.
Amanda Carlson, General Manager of Sine Hardware, and daughter-in-law of
Bob and Tracy Sine, will accept the proclamation.
Sine Hardware, which was originally named Glendale Motor and Supply
Company, was first opened in 1911 by two brothers, Tuck and Van Sine. In the early
1900s the original store space became limited, so soon another building was
constructed next to the store to assist in the sale of large farm equipment. Sine
Hardware continues to be a successful family-owned and operated business.
The recommendation was to proclaim appreciation for Sine Hardware and its
commitment to Glendale and the community.
Ms. Amanda Carlson, was called forward and spoke on behalf of the Sine family.
Also called forward were Mr. Bob Sine and Ms. Tracy Sine.

Ms. Amanda Carlson thanked Mayor Scruggs and Council on behalf of the Sine
family and store employees for honoring them with this proclamation. She stated that
throughout the years they have seen many changes. Sine Hardware has changed and
adapted with the city's growth to continually meet the needs of the customers. She
noted that what has not change was their devotion to their customers.
SALVATION ARMY HARVEST FESTIVAL
This is a request for City Council to proclaim October 21 , 2006 a day to honor
the Salvation Army's mission of strengthening our community's commitment of making
a difference by helping others. The community is invited to show their support by
attending the Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 21 , 2006 at the Glendale Corps,
6010 West Northern Avenue from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Major Ron Bawden of the Salvation Army's Glendale Corps was ordained as a
minister and commissioned as a Salvation Army Officer with the rank of Lieutenant in
1965.
William and Catherine Booth founded the Salvation Army in 1878. Their mission
was to help feed the homeless and assist in rehabilitation services in London's East
End. The Salvation Army has continued with their mission for over 100 years, and has
expanded their outreach to more than 100 countries. They have continued their goal of
social service backed by their strong religious principals.
The recommendation was to present the proclamation to the Salvation Army's
Glendale Corps in honor of their committed service to the community and their Harvest
Festival celebration.
Major Ron Bawden accepted the proclamation on behalf of the Salvation Army
Glendale Corps. He thanked Mayor Scruggs for this honor. He stated that he and his
wife chose the City of Glendale as their appointment. He said he has been in the
Valley for five years and it's been an enjoyable stay. He said they plan to retire in the
Valley because of its small, hometown feel. He stated he appreciates the opportunity to
serve the community.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH PROCLAMATION
This is a request for City Council to proclaim October as Domestic Violence
Awareness Month. Educating citizens is an important component in working towards
the goal of ending family violence.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month provides a special opportunity to recognize
and thank the people and agencies that support victims of family violence. Warren
Nothmagle, the husband of Sue Lindley, and Debbie DeWitt and Ginger Cox from the
American Legion Auxiliary will be present to accept the proclamation from the Mayor.
3
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence created Domestic Violence
Awareness Day in October 1981. Their purpose was to bring advocates together who
are working to end domestic violence against women and children. Since then, the
month of October has been used to highlight domestic violence issues and encourage
victims of family violence to seek out their local resources.
There is a high correlation between domestic violence and child abuse and
neglect. Studies have shown that child abuse occurs in up to 70% of families that have
a history of domestic violence.
The Glendale Police Department collaborates with other agencies and partners
in the community to reduce domestic violence. In order to be proactive and prevent
crimes against children, the Glendale Police Department is expanding the services
offered at the West Valley Advocacy Center to include the radKIDS (Resisting
Aggression Defensively) Personal Empowerment Safety Education Program. The
educational program enhances the ability of children to utilize knowledge and skills to
protect themselves from violence and harm.
This program would not be offered if it were not for the funding opportunities
provided by our local organizations. Funds were donated to the West Valley Advocacy
Center in memory of Sue Lindley, who was the forensic interviewer at the West Valley
Advocacy Center. Ms. Lindley devoted her energy and skills to abused children. This
donation paid for the training of two certified instructors. The American Legion Auxiliary
also generously donated funds for instructional materials and equipment used for self-
defense training
The proclamation will educate Glendale residents about the serious issues
involving family violence and the city resources available to help with the education,
prevention, and intervention of domestic violence. The primary benefit to our
community is that we have another resource, through the radKIDS program, to help
keep our children safe from violence and harm.
The recommendation was to present the proclamation in recognition of October
as Domestic Violence Awareness Month to Warren Nothmagle, the husband of Sue
Lindley, and Debbie DeWitt and Ginger Cox from the American Legion Auxiliary.
Ms. Lori Smith, Victim Assistance Caseworker, shared her pride and
gratefulness in accepting this honor. She thanked Mayor Scruggs and Council for the
proclamation.

5. AWARD OF BID 06-51, NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MITIGATION DEVICES
This is a request for City Council to approve the bid award to Swaine Asphalt
Corporation to construct speed humps, speed cushions, and infill modified speed
humps for the city's mitigation program in an amount not to exceed $70,185.
This construction of neighborhood mitigation devices impacts the quality of life
for Glendale residents by enhancing traffic safety to the traveling public.
An invitation for bid (IFB) to construct neighborhood mitigation devices was
advertised in August of 2006. Swaine Asphalt Corporation, while the only bidder,
submitted a responsive bid that staff determined was acceptable. It is estimated that
1,000 linear feet, or approximately 28 speed humps, will be constructed this year. It is
also estimated that 400 linear feet, or approximately 10 speed cushions, will be
constructed this fiscal year as a part of a pilot test program. The terms of the contract
will be for one year, with four one-year renewal options.
The asphalt speed hump construction program is typically implemented twice a
year. Some speed humps identified and not installed in the previous year's program
will be completed in the fall of 2006. Additionally, staff has completed the
neighborhood input and petition process to move forward with installation at newly
identified locations. Furthermore, there are several pending neighborhood requests
that will be added to the fall or spring construction program pending successful
completion of the petition process. A pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of speed
cushions will also be implemented in coordination with the Fire Department for
application on streets designated as primary response routes.
In June of 2002, Council approved an amendment to IFB 02-01 with Swaine
Asphalt Corporation to construct an additional 1,500 linear feet of speed humps.
Speed humps are proven to be effective at reducing travel speeds. The quality
of life improves for residents when excessive vehicular speeds on neighborhood
roadways are reduced. The speed cushion pilot test program is aimed at testing new
physical devices designed to reduce speeds on primary response routes with minimal
effect on emergency response vehicles.
Public input is the main component of the neighborhood mitigation program.
Prior to constructing speed humps/cushions in a neighborhood, an informational public
meeting is arranged by the city. Additionally, substantial support is required from the
neighborhood, which is demonstrated through the implementation of a petition process.

The total cost for constructing and striping 1,000 linear feet of speed humps, 400
linear feet of speed cushions, and infilling three modified speed humps is $70,185.

CONSENT RESOLUTIONS
6. REQUEST FOR INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA
COUNTY FOR COURT SECURITY SERVICES
This is a request for City Council to approve an intergovernmental agreement
with Maricopa County Superior Court to provide security officers for City Court.
Maricopa County Superior Court offers affordable, well-trained security staff to
several limited jurisdiction courts. Maricopa County's security officers receive court
specific security training, giving them the ability to initiate inter-agency alerts in
emergency situations and make appropriate decisions in the best interest of the court
and its customers.
Glendale City Court has been utilizing Maricopa County's security services since
2002. These services are essential to the safety and security of city personnel and the
public.
Unless otherwise established by either party, this agreement shall remain in
effect until June 30, 2007. Thereafter, the parties may renew this agreement for up to
four additional one-year terms.
The funds are provided in Court Security Professional Contractual. These funds
are generated from the collection of Court Improvement Fees.

7. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF PEORIA FOR
DETENTION AND WEEKEND COURT SERVICES
This is a request for City Council to renew an intergovernmental agreement (IGA)
with the City of Peoria to provide detention and weekend court services for the Peoria
Police Department.
The Glendale Police Department has been providing detention and weekend
court services to the Peoria Police Department since 1995. On average 40 Peoria
inmates are processed each month and this does not overload or impact the capacity of
the jail.
In April of 2006, a review of services and costs was conducted which generated
an increase in the per-day weekend court services costs. This cost increased from
$50.30 to $55.22. The current $122.46 per inmate for detention services still
adequately covers all detention related services.
On August 22, 2006, the Peoria Council approved the renewal and authorized
the Peoria City Manager to sign the IGA.
Glendale has been providing these services to the City of Peoria since 1995. At
the June 24, 2003 regular business meeting, the council renewed an IGA with the City
of Peoria for detention and weekend court services, approving a rate increase at that
time.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a
resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an intergovernmental agreement
with the City of Peoria to provide detention and weekend court services to the Peoria
Police Department.

8. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF PHOENIX FOR
FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION GRANT FUNDS
This is a request for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into an
intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City of Phoenix for acceptance of Federal
Transportation Authority (FTA) funds for transit purposes.
The IGA will allow Phoenix to reimburse Glendale for the federal portion of the
Fiscal Year 2006-07 Dial-A-Ride maintenance expenses; reimbursement for the federal
portion of the transit radio system; and construction funds for a park-and-ride lot. The
purchases will be made under FTA Grant AZ-90-X074.
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.
Phoenix has been designated as the regional recipient of FTA grants, and
distributes the funds to cities in the metropolitan area. Past FTA grants have provided
funds for transit improvements, including buses and shelters.
This grant will provide citizens a convenient location to access Loop 101 to
promote transit use and ridesharing, thereby helping to reduce traffic congestion.
The grant provides 80% federal funds and requires 20% local matching funds.
The federal funds will total $3,384,196 and the city's match will total $846,049 for a total
of $4,230,245. The total amount to be allocated to the individual projects will be
$3,524,045 for park-and-ride construction; $136,200 for transit vehicle maintenance
expenses; and $570,000 for radio system cost reimbursement. The expenditures will
be funded through FTA Grant AZ-90-X074.

said the patrons and the people that work there are pleasant people. He has no
problem with the Council's approval. He also stated that he is in totally agreement with
the transportation being funded. He has recently had the opportunity to use the public
transportation system and finds it more than adequate. He suggested more people
should give it a try. He strongly supports both of these issues.

PUBLIC HEARING — LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS
9. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA05-12 AND REZONING APPLICATION
ZON05-22: PARADISE ENCLAVE - 6830 WEST PARADISE LANE
Mr. Jon Froke, AICP, Planning Director, presented this item.
This is a request by DeMore Development, LLC for approval of a General Plan
Amendment to change the land use designation from MHDR (Medium-High Density
Residential, 8-12 dwelling units per acre) to MDR (Medium Density Residential 3.5-5
du/ac) and to rezone from A-1 (Agricultural) to R1-4 PRD (Single-Residence, Planned
Residential Development) for property located at 6830 West Paradise Lane.
The proposed land use designation is compatible with the Medium Density
Residential designation of surrounding parcels. The R1-4 PRD zoning adds to the city's
housing stock and provides housing diversity. The development incorporates sound
growth management techniques by utilizing surrounding infrastructure.
Paradise Enclave consists of 21 lots on 4.75 acres, at a density of 4.4 dwelling
units per gross acre. Lot sizes vary from 4,011 square feet to 8,098 square feet with an
average lot size of 4,768 square feet. The minimum lot width is 40 feet and the
minimum lot depth is 80 feet.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of this General Plan
Amendment and rezoning application on August 17, 2006.
The project promotes the development of vacant property and provides housing
on an in-fill site that is compatible with the surrounding area.
Notification letters were sent to 116 property owners and interested parties on
May 9, 2005. No written responses were received from the mailing. There were four
telephone calls to staff and five calls to the applicant. The callers voiced opinions
including: support of the request, opposition to any land use change, opposition to the
subdivision entrance being located on 69th Avenue, a desire for fewer lots, and concern
with increased traffic and traffic speeds.
Due to the number and nature of issues raised from the notification letter, a
neighborhood meeting was held on June 8, 2005. Of the 116 people invited to the
neighborhood meeting, 14 property owners and interested parties attended. Issues
discussed included the location of the subdivision entrance (some in support of an
entrance off of 69th Avenue and some opposed), design of house product, and side
yard building setbacks. Both the applicant and city project team determined that
access to the subdivision on 69th Avenue is appropriate.
13
The recommendation was to conduct a public hearing, waive reading beyond the
titles, and adopt the resolution for General Plan Amendment GPA05-12 and the
ordinance for rezoning application ZON05-22, subject to the stipulations as
recommended by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Rick Andiotos, applicant representative, stated that they have been working
closely with staff and believe this will be an asset to the community.

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mr. Leonard Clark, a Glendale resident, thanked both the Sine Family and the
Salvation Army for their contribution to the city. He stated that on a different matter, he
believes that the Phoenix tours of older cemeteries are an excellent idea because of the
history they hold. He suggested possibly having something like it in Glendale. Mayor

interest. She said someone would be in touch with him.
