ONE TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DWL ARCHITECTS + PLANNERS, INC. Presented by: Michelle Woytenko, Field Operations Director Ms. Bower read the item by title. Ms. Woytenko said the request was for Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into Amendment No. One to the Professional Services Agreement with DWL Architects + Planners, Inc., to increase expenditures by $10,978, not exceeding $80,778, for the Field Operations Master Plan Update and to extend the agreement for an additional one-year term. Amendment No. One would provide the necessary architectural hours to revise the submitted draft master plan to align with the City Hall Space Needs Study and to provide for a future Police evidence facility and/or crime laboratory. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said the item was scheduled for a workshop in April for Council to discuss the project and how it was all going to work. She asked if the item should be tabled until after the workshop. Mr. Friedline said the amendment extended the agreement with DWL so that staff could pull together the presentation for the workshop. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said there had never been any discussion about the plan with Council. Mr. Friedline said the design was at a very preliminary stage and there would be opportunity for Council to weigh in on all aspects of the master plan for the service center. Mr. Phelps said approximately $70,000 had been expended for the consultant to assist staff with the initial concepts for the Field Operations facility. The additional funds would help staff develop for the workshop some level of options of what could be done on the site. DWL would be asked to review a couple different elements such as the Police evidence facility. It would allow staff to present a variety of options at the workshop and get direction from Council. DWL would review logistically what the site could accommodate. It was just another element in preparation for a workshop. City Council Meeting Minutes - March 27, 2018 Page 4 of 24 Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked where staff was in the development of the concept. Ms. Woytenko said staff had reviewed a draft plan which was put on hold because there had been additional elements that staff had been asked to look at incorporating into the plan. Before the workshop, staff needed to determine if the Police evidence storage facility would fit on the site. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff was concerned that the project was not built into the water rates. Initially, the proposal was to fund the project entirely with general obligation funds but then was changed to include funding from the enterprise funds. That funding was not considered in the rate increases. There was a broader discussion that Council needed to have. She clarified that the draft plan was being amended to include the Police evidence facility. Michelle Woytenko said it did include the evidence facility and crime lab and also the possibility of providing space for City Hall personnel during the remodel of City Hall. The draft plan would propose relocating field personnel from City Hall to the Field Operations complex to accommodate vacating and remodeling a floor at a time of City Hall. 1t was all part of that planning that was required before staff could present options to Council at the workshop. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said there were other options besides constructing another building to temporarily house City staff during the remodel of City Hall, such as renting office space. A discussion was necessary because once the agreement was amended, an additional $10,000 or $11,000 would be expended on a project that Council had not discussed. Councilmember Turner shared Vice Mayor Tolmachoff s concerns. He said there had been other projects described as preliminary with all options still open but the projects developed a momentum of their own. It created expectations and he was reluctant to do that until Council had discussed the issues. He wanted some serious thought put into the proposal and was reluctant to create the expectation that it was Council's intention to relocate staff when the Council had not had a chance to discuss it. Mr. Friedline was sure that staff could work with the consultants to pull together information for the workshop without the contract amendment but there would be less detail. Mayor Weiers said the problem without the detail was that Council was going to ask for cost estimates at the workshop and staff would not be able to provide it without DWL doing the additional work. Councilmember Aldama agreed with Mayor Weiers. It did cost money to find out what the costs would be. He asked what the negative impacts would be if Council waited until after the next workshop to approve the amendment. Ms. Woytenko said staff was lacking certain details and she would not want to say that the Police evidence facility would fit without conducting the additional research and finding out for sure whether or not it would fit. Councilmember Aldama understood Vice Mayor Tolmachoffs concerns but Council would not know what the dollar amount would be unless it went forward with the extra work from staff. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said Council had a dollar amount, $9 million in general obligation bond funding and the rest was from enterprise funds, which was not included in the rate study calculations. It warranted further conversation. She was not saying that she would not support the project but she did not know enough about the project to support spending more money on the master plan. She preferred a workshop first. City Council Meeting Minutes - March 27, 2018 Page 5 of 24 Councilmember Clark agreed with Vice Mayor Tolmachoff. She asked what the termination date was for the contract. Ms. Woytenko did not have the exact date but said the contract would expire before the end of the year. Councilmember Clark said if it was going to terminate sometime during the year, it was quite possible that it would terminate after the workshop. Council was not opposed to the project but was concerned and wanted to be involved with what was planned for the space. She would consider tabling the contract renewal until right after the workshop. Councilmember Aldama asked if the item was tabled, what numbers would staff be providing for the additional buildings. Ms. Woytenko said staff had provided a rough ballpark amount of what it thought it might take, assuming full build out. Staff would be asking for Council direction and hopefully presenting some options. Without the amendment to the contract, staff would not be able to provide any more than the ballpark figures that were initially provided. The current estimate for the project was a total of $27 million, $9 million from general obligation and $18 million from the enterprise funds. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff, seconded by Councilmember Bart Turner to table Consent Agenda item 11 until after the workshop.

ORDINANCE NO. 018-16 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, ARIZONA, BY APPROVING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT ZTA17-01 FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES AND AMENDING ARTICLE 7 (GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS) OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE BE RECORDED. Presented by: James Cronk, Interim Planning Director Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Cronk said the zoning text amendment (ZTA) related to medical marijuana. The proposed ZTA addressed two issues: the maximum size of a dispensary; and the hours of operation of a dispensary. The ZTA applied citywide and the applicant had held three neighborhood meetings instead of one, with a larger public mailing so that more people were aware of the proposal. Mr. Cronk said the proposed ZTA amended Zoning Code Section 7-802, increasing the allowable size of a single dispensary from 2,000 square feet to 6,000 square feet and amending the hours of operation from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. He said the proposed ZTA did not affect the number of dispensaries allowed within the City or the location of the dispensaries. Mr. Cronk said in reviewing the General Plan, staff found that the application was in conformance with furthering the goals and policies of the General Plan. Staff had also checked with the Police Department and found that there were no real issues or detrimental impacts identified from the current dispensaries within the City. Mr. Cronk said the Planning Commission did vote to recommended approval of the ZTA at its meeting on February 1, 2018. Staff was also recommending approval. Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.

Thomas Galvin, representative for the applicant, Arizona Organix, said the business had opened its doors in 2012 and had an impeccable track record with no incidents, criminal, security or otherwise, related to the operation. It was a leader in the industry and gave back to the community. He said the business' neighbors were in support of the amendment. Mr. Galvin said the request to extend the business hours by 2 hours, from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and to increase the maximum size of the dispensary from 2,000 to 6,000 square feet was to meet the crowding concerns and current demand. Mr. Galvin said the demand from patients had grown every single year and had created a crowding issue. After 4:00 p.m., the number of patients that came through every hour had increased by 50%. It was very hard to manage good customer service because customers were required to arrive before the business closed at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Galvin said the request had been supported by the Planning Commission, City staff, neighboring businesses and more than 700 state -licensed patients. He said a total of five people attended the three neighborhood meetings so it did not appear there were issues with disturbances at the business or any opposition to the request. He said 700 patients took the time to sign a letter of support for the request. Mr. Galvin said that when the ordinance was passed in 2012, there were 40,000 patients that went through Arizona Organix. In the past year, it had more than doubled to 88,000, but the ordinance limitations had stayed the same. Mr. Galvin said the business must grow with the City and with the number of patients. Two thousand square feet was not enough space for the growing Glendale business. It was a reasonable request and other cities and jurisdictions had various size and hours of operation limitations. If the business was allowed to expand, it could immediately take over another 2,000 square feet next door which would alleviate the crowding, storage and employee concerns. Mr. Galvin said the parking lot was in disrepair and if allowed to expand up to 6,000 square feet, City Council Meeting Minutes - March 27, 2018 Page 11 of 24 Arizona Organix would make significant improvements to the parking lot. Councilmember Clark clarified that Arizona Organix had 88,000 patient visits. Mr. Galvin said that number was based on patient visits on a daily basis. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the City of Tucson was the only jurisdiction that allowed dispensaries to stay open until 10:00 p.m. Mr. Galvin said that was correct but the City of Phoenix did allow dispensaries to stay open until 10:00 p.m. with a variance. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if individual dispensaries applied for the variance for a specific location. Mr. Galvin said that was correct. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if businesses surrounding dispensaries located in other areas of the City were notified of the ZTA. Jennifer Hall, Rose Law Group, said the open houses were advertised in the newspaper. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked how the parking lot improvements were related to the expansion. Mark Myer, Arizona Organix, said it was based on how much more of the building Arizona Organix occupied. Councilmember Malnar asked how the ZTA would mitigate the parking problems. The parking space was existing and was not going to increase. Mr. Galvin said Arizona Organix would have more space available for parking once it occupied more space in the building. Mr. Myer said two engineering firms had been engaged to find ways to structure the parking lot to allow for good ingress and egress. Councilmember Malnar asked what Arizona Organix had done to change its operation plan to accommodate the higher volume of customers. Mr. Myer said the company had added express checkouts and other ways to move people through faster. There was also a back door that allowed people to move from the front, through checkout and then through the back to the parking. It also allowed call-in orders with its regular customers who knew what they wanted. Mr. Myer said the current space was roughly 20 feet wide by 50 feet long so there was not a lot that could be done besides adding more checkouts. When too many people were packed into the area, there were potential fire code issues. Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Councilmember Jamie Aldama, seconded by Councilmember Ian Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 018-16. City Council Meeting Minutes - March 27, 2018 Page 12 of 24 Councilmember Clark said there were two major reasons that she would not support the request. She had taken an oath to support the U.S. Constitution and marijuana was federally prohibited. Arizona had approved the use of medical marijuana and she understood that but was not about to violate her oath. Federal law did not recognize marijuana as legal, therefore in good conscience, she could not support something that encouraged its expanded use within her community. Councilmember Clark said the second reason was that the ZTA being sought would apply to all dispensaries in the City. It gave all dispensaries the right to stay open until 10:00 pm and to have expanded facilities. She did not want to set that precedent for existing and future dispensaries because it opened the door for further encroachment on the regulations originally created. Those regulations were reasonable, accommodated dispensaries and protected residents' quality of life. Councilmember Aldama said the product being sold was not in question. Proposition 203 was passed by the voters statewide in 2010, making it legal in Glendale and the State to conduct the dispensary business. The ZTA was being considered and it was a question of expanding the business and the hours to make the dispensary safe. He asked Police Chief Rick St. John if there Were any calls for service and any nuisance calls regarding the business. Chief St. John said, to his knowledge, the department had not had any significant calls for service at that location. It was a quiet business and location and he did not recall any calls for service. Councilmember Malnar said the problem was not necessarily the space but the process. When he went to a pharmacy, which was usually a very small space with thousands of different drugs, he typically dropped off the prescription and came back an hour later when it was filled. There was always a wait at his pharmacy, sometimes as little as 15 minutes or sometimes it was the next day before the prescription was ready. Councilmember Malnar did not disagree with medical marijuana use because it had its uses. It was the process that was not working and additional space was not going to answer the process problem. Councilmember Malnar said there was currently one dispensary in his district but there were applications for three others. He had talked with his constituents regarding their feelings about having four dispensaries that were each about 6,000 square feet, opened from morning to 10:00 pm. The response had been loud and clear that residents did not want to see expanded medical marijuana dispensaries in the Sahuaro district. Councilmember Malnar would be voting no because it was not warranted at the current time and the citizens in his district did not want to see an expanded footprint especially with additional dispensaries under consideration in the area. Mayor Weiers asked if it was correct that with the additional square footage, the applicant was going to put in more customer service windows. Mr. Galvin said that was correct. Councilmember Turner was inclined to see that that the industry created over the last six or seven years had a positive track record, including the dispensary in Glendale. He said, with regard to pharmacies, it was a marijuana pharmacy, so if it was regulated like a pharmacy, there would not be any restriction on size or hours of operation. If it was regulated like a liquor store, then again, there would not be any restrictions and liquor stores had the option of City Council Meeting Minutes - March 27, 2018 Page 13 of 24 staying open until 2:00 a.m. Councilmember Turner was struck by how many non -Glendale residents spoke in favor of the business and the large number of people outside of Glendale that chose to spend their money at the location, which brought outside tax revenue to the City. Councilmember Turner said with regard to the issue raised about Council's Oath of Office, it did require upholding the U.S. Constitution as well as the Constitution and laws of the State of Arizona. It was a legal enterprise and the legality of it was created through the Arizona Constitution by the citizens who took an initiative to the ballot and got the public to approve it. He did not feel there was a conflict in keeping his oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, particularly the 9th Amendment of the Bill of Rights, as well as the Arizona Constitution and laws. Mayor Weiers had served eight years in the Arizona House of Representatives. Many people forgot that the rights of the U.S. Government came from the State of Arizona and from the other 49 states and the rights of the City came from the State. The oath stated, "..and the Laws of the State of Arizona." He knew that there was not federal approval of marijuana but the government understood the direction things had been going and that was why it did not enforce federal law regarding marijuana. The City already allowed it and he did not have a problem with the extra two hours and the extra square footage. Councilmember Aldama said it was a zoning issue and was not about the content of the product being sold. Councilmember Clark understood what supporters of the business were saying and reiterated that she was not against the use of medical marijuana. She believed in the rule of law. Councilmember Clark said the argument about having to wait an hour did not move her at all because she could not drop off a prescription at her Safeway pharmacy and expect to get it filled within an hour. The personal stories about the need for marijuana did move her and were compelling. Councilmember Clark said the City did not initiate medical marijuana dispensaries, the State had and the State also dictated how many dispensaries could be established. She said the City was required to create an ordinance that would accommodate the siting of medical marijuana dispensaries in the City. It was not initiated by the City but was foisted upon the City by the State. Vice Mayor Tomalchoff supported the use of medical marijuana and had no problem with medical marijuana. The ZTA affected other businesses outside of the specific business and that was where she was struggling. There was a dispensary in her district and unless the businesses surrounding that dispensary saw the public notice in the newspaper, the businesses would not know anything about the ZTA. If it applied only to Arizona Organix, she would be supportive of it but because it was a ZTA affecting all existing and future dispensaries, she would vote no. Mayor Weiers was not a marijuana user but it was currently legal. If customers were begging the business to increase its size and make it more efficient and if the City was really and truly going to be a business leader and be there for its businesses, it was the direction the City should go. He would support the amendment. The vote on the motion was: City Council Meeting Minutes - March 27, 2018 Page 14 of 24 AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Bart Turner NAY: Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Passed ORDINANCES 30. ORDINANCE NO. 018-17 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AND FILE AN AIRPORT LAND LEASE AGREEMENT WITH FOX AVIATION, LLC FOR CERTAIN PROPERTY AT THE GLENDALE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT. Presented By: Trevor Ebersole, Director, Transportation - Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Ebersole said the request was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt the proposed ordinance authorizing the city manager to enter into a land lease agreement with Fox Aviation, LLC for vacant land located on airport property, just north of the Airport Maintenance Building and just south of Air West Helicopters. Mr. Ebersole said the City conducted a request for proposals (RFP) in September 2017 for the development of a hangar facility on vacant land at the Glendale Municipal Airport.

Presented By: David D. Beard, P.E., City Engineer Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Beard said the proposed ordinance abandoned a roadway easement on Orange Drive between 51st and 53rd Avenues. Calcot, LTD, the owner of several parcels of land, was requesting the City to abandon a 40 -foot strip of roadway easement in the Orange Drive alignment from 51 st to 53rd Avenues. Calcot conveyed the 40 -foot by one-half mile easement to the City in 1959, however, a roadway was only constructed in the west half of the easement, from 53rd to 55th Avenues. The east half of the easement had been incorporated into Calcot's City Council Meeting Minutes - March 27, 2018 Page 16 of 24 development. The Transportation Department had determined that it was not necessary for Orange Drive to connect to 51 st-Avenue in the future so there was no need for the right-of-way. Mr. Beard said staff recommended abandonment of the easement. There would be no impact on City departments, staff or service levels as the result of the action and no costs would be incurred.

Presented By: David D. Beard, P.E., City Engineer Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Beard said the proposed ordinance accepted right-of-way for 51 st Avenue approximately 660 feet south of Missouri Avenue. A lot line adjustment for parcels of land located between 51 st and 55th Avenues south of Missouri Avenue revealed that land previously conveyed to the City for roadway purposes on 51 st Avenue was conveyed as an easement and not a right-of-way. The owner, Calcot LTD, had agreed to dedicate additional right-of-way on 51st Avenue so the existing street improvements would reside in City right-of-way instead of an easement on private property. Mr. Beard said staff recommended accepting the additional right-of-way on 51st Avenue and there would be little impact on City departments, staff or service levels and minimal costs might be incurred in the future to maintain and repair the existing street improvements.

RESOLUTION NO. R18-33 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE ARIZONA SUPER BOWL HOST COMMITTEE'S BID TO HOST SUPER BOWL LVII AND OTHER OFFICIAL EVENTS IN 2023. Presented By: Jean Moreno, Executive Officer Strategic Initiatives and Special Projects Ms. Bower read the resolution by title. Ms. Moreno said the proposed resolution declared full support of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee's (Host Committee) efforts to have Glendale, Arizona selected as the site for Super Bowl LVII in 2023. The Host Committee was required to secure the operation and support of affected municipalities for the provision of governmental services and the use of city -controlled assets at no cost to the Host Committee or event organizers. Ms. Moreno said the resolution was consistent with resolutions that had been adopted by previous Councils in support of the 2008 and 2015 Super Bowls, as well as numerous other Super Bowl bid attempts. Ms. Moreno said the Host Committee was seeking similar assurances from other cities in the region, where events and activities might be held. Ms. Moreno said the resolution included the commitment that the Host Committee intended to negotiate a marketing agreement with the City that would account for the City's in-kind and monetary contributions in exchange for mutually agreed upon benefits. Ms. Moreno said participating as an original partner with the State, other cities in the region and the Host Committee supported the mutual desire to create opportunities to enhance the economy, attract visitors and increase commerce for the benefits of all Arizona residents. A motion was made by Councilmember Ian Hugh, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff to adopt Resolution No. R18-33. City Council Meeting Minutes - March 27, 2018 Page 21 of 24 Councilmember Clark supported the very first Super Bowl and had learned a lot from that experience. She had not supported the second Super Bowl bid but had decided to support the 2023 bid. Councilmember Clark said in previous Super Bowls, Glendale had the responsibility for all the public safety which had cost a great deal of money. That was no longer the case because the City would incur only a small part of the public safety expense in 2023. She said the Host Committee, the City and the Cardinals, all seemed to be working well together. There were opportunities for the City to participate in activities surrounding the Super Bowl that it did not have during the last hosting. Councilmember Clark was hoping the State would come through with reimbursement for jurisdictions that hosted mega events. She said, based on the reasons outlined, she would vote yes. Councilmember Turner said the City continued to add significantly to the number of hotel rooms, the number of restaurants, the retail stores and all the other attractions such as Top Golf that were available in the City. It increased the number of opportunities for visitors to the area to stay in Glendale, spend money in Glendale and therefore to supply tax revenue to the City. Councilmember Turner was not in favor of tax payers subsidizing professional sports but the City would be making money during the 2023 Super Bowl. He would vote for the resolution. Mayor Weiers wanted people to understand that passage of the resolution did not guarantee that the 2023 Super Bowl would be in Glendale. The resolution was simply the next step forward in the process. It was necessary to have a unanimous Council and area businesses heading towards the same goal. He said Glendale had been recognized as the "Sports Capital' of the United States and he hoped it would win the bid. The vote on the motion was: AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Bart Turner Passed REQUEST FOR FUTURE WORKSHOP AND EXECUTIVE SESSION A motion was made by Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff, seconded by Councilmember Ian Hugh to hold the next regularly scheduled City Council Workshop on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at 12:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers to be followed by an Executive Session pursuant to ARS 38-431.03.
