3. PRESENT 2017 RUTH BYRNE HISTORIC PRESERVATION AWARD TO ROSEMARY
LYNCH
Mayor Weiers, Planning Director Jon Froke and Glendale Historical Society President Ron
Short, presented the 2017 Ruth Byrne Historic Preservation Award to Rosemary Lynch. He
explained the Ruth Byrne Historic Preservation Award was established in 1996. The purpose
of the award was to recognize individuals or organizations that had made significant
contributions to the preservation of Glendale's historic and cultural resources. The prestigious
award was named after Ruth Byrne, a Glendale native, in honor of her dedicated work and
ongoing efforts to preserve Glendale's history.
Mayor Weiers said the Historic Preservation Commission had requested City Council to
recognize Rosemary Lynch as the recipient of the award for her dedication to the preservation
of Glendale's historic heritage. She was a founding member and had promoted the Glendale
Arizona Historical Society since the 1970's. For over 40 years, Ms. Lynch had volunteered at
Sahuaro Ranch for special events and as a docent conducting tours. She also assisted with
arranging the exhibits at the ranch's Guest House. In 1992, she served on the Glendale
Centennial Committee for the City's centennial.
Ms. Lynch accepted the award and expressed her gratitude for the award. She had been
volunteering for many years and had worked hard to keep Glendale clean and beautiful. Ms.
Lynch encouraged everyone to volunteer and give back to the community.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Weiers had received a speaker card for item 16 on the consent agenda and asked Ms. Bower to
read the title.
Ms. Bower read item 16 by title.
Bill Demski, Sahuaro District, wanted an explanation of the authorization to enter into an Effluent Lake
Management Agreement with Cabela's Wholesale, Inc.
Mayor Weiers explained that questions and answers were not typically permitted at voting meetings. He
said a staff member could explain the item to Mr. Demski after the meeting.
Councilmember Aldama pulled item 16 from the consent agenda for a presentation by staff.
Craig Johnson, Water Services Director, explained the request was for City Council to authorize the City
Manager to enter into an Effluent Lake Management Agreement with Cabela's Wholesale, Inc. The
agreement updated and replaced a prior agreement with Cabela's to provide reclaimed water. It
would allow Cabela's to continue managing and operating a recreational lake at the Cabela's retail
area. There was no cost to the City associated with the agreement.
Councilmember Malnar confirmed that the City delivered reclaimed water to Cabela's and there was no
City Council Meeting Minutes-September 12,2017 Page 3 of 19
cost to the City and it was a continuation of a previous agreement.
Mr. Johnson said that was correct and Cabela's paid for the reclaimed water.
Mayor Weiers said Councilmember Tolmachoff had requested a presentation on item 19.
Ms. Bower read item 19 by title.
Mr. Johnson said the request was for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into a
Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)agreement with Achen-Gardner Construction, LLC
(Achen-Gardner)for construction phase services for phase three waterline replacement and approve
the expenditure of funds in an amount not to exceed $2,163,230.56. It was the final phase of the
waterline replacement, taking place on Deer Valley Road between 67th and 59th Avenues. If approved,
the project would start in October and end in February 2018.
Councilmember Tolmachoff explained that she had pulled the item so that Cholla residents would have
as much notice as possible of the construction that would be taking place.
Mayor Weiers had received a request from Councilmember Clark to hear and vote on
items 14, 17, 18, 21 -24, 26, 27 and 28, separately. No presentation was necessary.

Passed
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar to approve Consent Agenda items 14,
17, 18, 21 through 24, 26 through 28
Mayor Weiers said the items should be moved separately because they required separate
votes.
Councilmember Malnar asked why separate votes were required.
Mayor Weiers could not presume to know how the Councilmembers were going to vote and
it was the Chair's decision. There was a Councilmember who wished a separate vote on
each of the items and because he knew that at least one Councilmember was going to vote
differently, it required separate motions.
Councilmember Malnar said Councilmembers knew if they wanted to pull items from the
Consent Agenda for a separate vote and there was only one person who wanted to vote
City Council Meeting Minutes-September 12,2017 Page 8 of 19
separately.
•
Mayor Weiers said because the open meeting law prohibited Council from discussing votes
outside the meeting, he didn't know how Councilmembers were going to vote and therefore
would take each item separately.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Councilmember Jamie
Aldama to approve item 14.
Councilmember Clark explained the items she had pulled from the Consent Agenda were
• five year contracts. She did not support, in principle,five year contracts and would vote no.

Passed
Mayor Weiers requested a motion for item 31.
Councilmember Clark said she would be offering the same amendment to the contracts in
items 31 and 36. She explained that both the items contained a request to allow the City
Manager, at his discretion, to extend the contracts for periods longer than a year. In some
cases, the amount of the annual payment was greater than the Council approved limit of
$50,000. It was not a good idea to establish a precedent that allowed the City Manager to
extend contracts that might or might not exceed the$50,000 limit.
Councilmember Clark said the current language in the contracts said "at the discretion of the
City Manager." She proposed that the wording be changed to"at the discretion of the City
Manager with City Council approval" and asked Council to consider that amendment.
City Council Meeting Minutes-September 12,2017 Page 10 of 19
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Ray
Malnar to amend the contract by adding "and with City Council approval."
Councilmember Aldama clarified that it was only for two items but was concerned about
other items. He asked if Councilmember Clark would be bringing the issue to a workshop
for discussion.
Councilmember Clark explained that it was the first time she had seen the wording in a
contract. She did think it was an item worthy of a workshop.
Councilmember Turner clarified that the motion was to amend item 31. He said there
needed to be a main motion to approve the item and then the motion to amend would be in
order.
Mayor Weiers said that was correct and asked for a motion to approve item 31.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Ray
Malnar to approve Item 31.
A'motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Ray
Malnar to amend the contract language in item 31 to include the phrase "and with City
Council approval."
Councilmember Turner had always understood that when Council approved an item for a
term of one year, with up to four or five annual renewals, Council was giving the City
Manager authority to renew the contract. The alternative would be a motion for one year for
each and every year but it was hard to operate that way. When Council approved
renewable contracts, it wasn't the City Manager acting without approval, it was him acting
with Council approval.
Councilmember Clark said when Council approved multi-year contracts, it was approving
the expenditure for each year. She said the language in the item 31 and 36 contracts was
brand new. It was at the discretion of the City Manager and no longer required Council
approval. The City Manager's spending authority was $50,000 and one contract was for
$70,000 per year. Council was setting a precedent for the City Manager to have sole
discretion and spending authority with regard to contracts. Council knew, with the
multi-year contracts, the length of the contract and the amount required each year. She said
that was why she was requesting the additional language, "and with City Council
approval." Councilmember Clark said Council was responsible for what was spent in the
City and she was not willing to cede that responsibility.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked Mr. Bailey if the wording was relatively routine in nature.
Mr. Bailey said the provision granted the authority and was routine in contracts. Council
was giving direction to the City Manager to act but was not relieving him of the obligation of
budgeting for it each year. The wording had been used previously. With the contract,
Council knew what the maximum exposure was and it could only be extended to 2020. It
did not guarantee additional terms to the vendor.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said Council routinely authorized the City Manager to renew
contracts.
Mr. Bailey said the contract did say it was contingent upon Council approval of the budget.
City Council Meeting Minutes-September 12,2017 Page 11 of 19
Councilmember Aldama asked if there was anything that precluded Council from asking that
the contract be reviewed after the first year.
Mr. Bailey said there was nothing precluding Council from asking for a review.
Councilmember Clark said it was not about the amount or length of the contract. It was
about delegating Council's spending authority to the City Manager. As for checking the
budget for the contract, she didn't remember half of the contracts Council approved that
would come before it in the next budget cycle.
Mr. Phelps said it had been worded that way so that the City wasn't locked into a multi-year
contract. The wording allowed the City to review the performance of the vendor and decide
whether or not it was still providing value to the City. If not, there was no obligation to renew
the contract.
Councilmember Turner did not believe it was new language and was generally the way
contracts were handled. The multi-year contracts were in the best interest of the City
because it allowed the vendors to know that if they did a good job, at a good price, they
would have their contract renewed. Council could direct the City Manager to report back on
the contract prior to renewal.
Councilmember Clark said because of the open meeting law, she was precluded from
sharing the motion prior to the meeting. If the City Manager felt a contract wasn't
performing to standard, he would have to bring it back to Council because a new contract
would be necessary. She didn't understand why anyone would have a problem with the
additional language.
Councilmember Turner said there was nothing in the open meeting law that prevented a
Councilmember from talking to other Councilmembers, it limited the number that could be in
on the discussion. He didn't believe providing a copy of the motion to Council would be a
violation.
Mayor Weiers said it had been his experience, when serving in the Legislature, that it was
typical for legislators to have heartburn over contracts. The rule of thumb was to not tie the
hands of people that followed. Contracts locked the City in and the only way out was
through the courts. He understood what Councilmember Clark was attempting to do.
Mayor Weiers was torn because he trusted Mr. Phelps and didn't think any disrespect was
meant.
The vote on the amendment was as follows:
AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers, Councilmember Jamie Aldama, Councilmember Joyce Clark,
Councilmember Ray Malnar
NAY: Vice Mayor Ian Hugh, Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff, Councilmember Bart
Turner
Passed
City Council Meeting Minutes-September 12,2017 Page 12 of 19
Councilmember Malnar provided an explanation of his vote. He reiterated his faith and
confidence in the City Manager. On the item, there was a way for the City to resolve the
issue with language in future contracts. He voted in favor because the format was new.
Mayor Weiers said he voted in favor because it was not a reflection on Mr. Phelps. He
called for the vote on the main motion as amended. The vote was as follows:
AYE: 'Mayor Jerry Weiers, Vice Mayor Ian Hugh, Councilmember Jamie Aldama,
Councilmember Joyce Clark, Councilmember Ray Malnar, Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff
NAY: Councilmember Bart Turner
Passed
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Ray
Malnar to approve item 36.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Ray
Malnar to amend item 36.
•
Councilmember Turner asked Councilmember Clark to restate the amendment.
Councilmember Clark said the motion was to amend the contract language in item 36 to
include the phrase "and with City Council approval."
The vote on the amendment was as follows:
AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers, Councilmember Jamie Aldama, Councilmember Joyce Clark,
Councilmember Ray Malnar
NAY: Vice Mayor Ian Hugh, Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff, Councilmember Bart
Turner
Passed
Councilmember Turner explained his vote. He said it seemed the issue was whether or not
Council could enter into contracts longer than their term of office. He didn't think there was
any other way for the City to effectively do business. Unless the City did annual contracts,
he didn't see a means to get around it. It was not a good way for a community the size of
Glendale to do business and Councilmember Turner didn't think doing that would get the
best price or terms on the contracts.
The vote on the main motion as amended was:
AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers, Vice Mayor Ian Hugh, Councilmember Jamie Aldama,
Councilmember Joyce Clark, Councilmember Ray Malnar, Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff

ORDINANCE NO. 017-42
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6101 NORTH 99th AVENUE FROM PAD
(PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT)TO PAD (PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT) FOR A
DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENTITLED "CELEBRATION COMMERCE CENTER"; AMENDING
THE ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A
CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE BE RECORDED.
Presented By: Jon M. Froke,AICP, Planning Director, Development Services
Ms. Bower read Resolution No. R17-77 and Ordinance No. 017-42 by title.
Mr. Froke said the first request was to change the land use map from from Business Park(BP)
to Entertainment Mixed Use (EMU). The rezoning request would rezone the existing PAD
(Planned Area Development)to allow a broader use of land uses.
Mr. Froke said the rezone would allow land uses that supported existing land uses in the area
and market demands. Specifically, the proposed PAD would allow such land uses as outdoor
and indoor recreational facilities, hotels, restaurants and retail development. He said the
anchor tenant was Top Golf.
Mr. Froke said the PAD zoning was consistent with and helped implement the General Plan. At
the public hearing on August 3, 2017, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
applications. There were nine stipulations placed on the zoning application. Staff was also
recommending approval of the applications.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
No one wished to address Council.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Jamie

ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7740 NORTH 83RD AVENUE FROM A-1,
AGRICULTURE TO SR-30, SUBURBAN RESIDENCE; AMENDING THE ZONING MAP;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF
THIS ORDINANCE IS RECORDED
Presented By: Jon Froke, Planning Director, Development Services
Mr. Froke said Council had annexed the property, approximately 16 acres, last November. The
property was owned by several members of the Bond family and the Church of Christ. The
property, known as Bonderosa, presently contained five single-family residences. Four
additional parcels, which were currently farmed, would be developed with single-family
residences in the future. The proposed church would be located on the immediate southwest
corner of Northern Avenue and 83rd Avenue. Vehicular access to the homes and lots was
provided by Augusta Avenue.
Mr. Froke said the request was to rezone the site from A-1 (Agricultural)to SR-30 (Suburban
Residence). The site was located on the west side of 83rd Avenue, south of Northern Avenue.
A neighborhood meeting was held on the site on June 26, 2017. Approximately 10 people
attended the meeting including Councilmember Clark. There was support in the neighborhood
for SR-30 zoning at the location. He said SR-30 was extremely low density at 1 to 2.5 units to
the acre.
Mr. Froke said the Planning Commission conducted a public meeting on August 3, 2017
and recommended approval of the SR-30 zoning. Staff was also requesting that the rezoning
application be approved.
Councilmember Clark thanked Mr. Froke for his work shepherding the application through the
process. It was long overdue.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff, seconded by Councilmember
Jamie Aldama to approve Ordinance No. 017-43.

49. FINAL PLAT APPLICATION FP16-01
Presented By: Jon Froke, Planning Director, Development Services
Ms. Bower read the item by title.
Mr. Froke said the request was for Council to approve the Final Plat for Orangewood Ranch,
located at 7536 North 83rd Avenue. Orangewood Ranch was a new detached single-family
residential neighborhood proposed by Northwest Holdings, LLC. A home builder had not yet
been identified. The site was located on the west side of 83rd Avenue near Orangewood
Avenue.
• Mr. Froke said the subdivision consisted of 43 single-family lots on approximately 16.1 acres.
The typical lot size was 9,760 square feet with lot dimensions of 80 feet by 122 feet.. The
density was approximately 2.6 DU/AC. The 43 lots would be served by new private streets with
vehicular access provided from 83rd Avenue and the community would be gated.
Mr. Froke said the Final Plat was consistent with the general plan and existing zoning and was
appropriate for the in-fill site and met the requirements of the Subdivision and Minor Land
Division Ordinance. Approval of the request would allow future residential opportunities in an
established part of the City with nearby infrastructure and amenities. He said staff
recommended approval of Final Plat application.
Councilmember Clark asked if there were homes on the A-1 remnant parcel.
Mr. Froke said there was a house on the property. The owner used the property for a worm
farm and was not willing to sell the property.
Councilmember Turner asked if the developer could decide at a future date, not to develop it as
a gated community and would it have to come back before Council.
Mr. Froke said it would be handled at the subdivision level and would not have to come back
before Council.
Councilmember Turner asked if the private streets would be built to the same standards as
public streets.
Mr. Froke said the streets would be built to City standards.
Councilmember Turner said the A-1 remnant parcel contained•a very unique home designed by
world famous architect Will Bruder. It was a hidden gem.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh to
approve Final Plat Application FP16-01.

WAY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF NORTHERN AVENUE AND EAST SIDE OF 51st

ANY DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE SAID PURCHASE.
Presented By: Jack Friedline, Director, Public Works

City Council Meeting Minutes-September 12,2017 Page 17 of 19
along the north side of Northern Avenue and east side of 51st Avenue, in the amount of
$23,900 plus closing costs.
Mr. Friedline said in September 2008, the City of Glendale reached an agreement with the
owner of 5050 West Northern Avenue for a portion of the property for right-of-way. The ROW
was needed for intersection improvements located at 51st Avenue and Northern Avenue. The
City had landscape improvements installed on the property in anticipation of the acquisition
being completed. However, the first lien holder refused to release the lien on the property, and
funds deposited into escrow towards the closing were returned to the City. Comerica Bank, the
first lien holder on the property, had now agreed to complete the sale.
Mr. Friedline said staff recommended the acquisition towards ROW along Northern Avenue
east of 51st Avenue. City landscape improvements were installed on the property as part of the
intersection improvement completed in 2012 and acquisition of the property would allow City
staff to continue to maintain the improvements. There would be no impact on any departments,
staff or service levels due to the action.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff to approve Ordinance No. 017-45.
