Staff from Facilities Management, Police Department and Utilities reviewed the offers that were received. Specific evaluation factors included compliance with specifications, cost, capabilities and experience of the firm and staff and their past experience in providing compatible services. The proposal scored highest by the committee was Access Security Systems International of Arizona. The initial term of the award is for a two year period. The proposal contains an option clause permitting the city to extend this award for four additional years in one-year increments. Previous Council/Staff Actions: The majority of the maintenance, and repair services for the previous 8 years have been preformed by Access Security Systems International of Arizona, through an intergovernmental agreement with Maricopa County that was no longer in force as of May 2007.

Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: Council has a strategic goal of providing high level of services to the Citizens of Glendale. Developing a pavement management program will enable the city to effectively plan for current and future pavement preservation projects as well as new street projects which will rebuild street sections. A pavement management system will also enable programming of overlays so that the city can effectively budget for pavement projects, and account for a major infrastructure item. Background: In the past, the city has developed overlay projects using visual methods for determining pavement conditions. To get a better analysis of pavement condition and structure, a pavement management system needs to also include traffic classification surveys to determine traffic impacts, deflection testing to determine surface distress, and obtaining thickness cores for structural analysis of the existing surfaces. This data will then be used to develop the distress models and indexes, pavement performance curves, rehabilitation strategies, unit rates, and budgets that will make up the pavement management program for the city. Previous Council/Staff Actions: Each year the Council has approved asphalt overlay projects to preserve the condition of the pavement on arterials, collectors and residential streets. Community Benefit: Collecting and analyzing the data on street conditions and structure, and then developing a system of preserving and rebuilding our streets will enable the city to effectively plan, and budget for pavement projects.

Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: The proposed final plat is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of 3.5-5 dwelling units per acre and the existing R1-4 PRD (Single Residence, Planned Residential Development) zoning district. The development of this vacant parcel of land adjacent to existing single-family neighborhoods supports the Council goal of creating one community with strong neighborhoods. This proposal also supports the Council goal of a city that is fiscally sound by utilizing existing infrastructure such as water and sewer lines and existing streets. Background: Paradise Enclave is a 21 lot single-family subdivision on 4.75 acres with a density of 4.4 dwelling units per acre. Lot sizes vary from 4,009 square feet to 7,654 square feet with an average lot size of 4,766 square feet. The proposed minimum lot width is 40 feet, and the minimum lot depth is 80 feet. Previous Council/Staff Actions: On August 17, 2006, the Planning Commission approved General Plan Amendment GPA05-12, Rezoning application ZON05-22, and Preliminary Plat application PP05-10 for this subdivision. On October 10, 2006, the City Council approved General Plan Amendment GPA05-12 and Rezoning application ZON05-22. Community Benefit: The project promotes the development of vacant property and provides housing on an in-fill site that is compatible with the surrounding area. Public Input: Notification letters were mailed 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. Those who were not in support of the land use change voiced opposition to the subdivision entrance being located on 69t Avenue, the number of lots, and were concerned about an increase in traffic volume and speed. Due to the number and nature of the issues that resulted from the notification letter, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting on June 8, 2005. Of the 116 people who were invited to the neighborhood meeting, 14 property owners and interested parties attended. Issues discussed at the meeting included the location of the subdivision entrance, design of the housing product, and side-yard building setbacks. After discussions with the citizens, the applicant was able to resolve these issues. Both the applicant and city project team determined that access to the subdivision on 69th Avenue is appropriate.

Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: This project is consistent with the Council goal of providing high quality service for Glendale residents by improving the water quality of the effluent produced at the Arrowhead Ranch Water Reclamation Facility (ARWRF). Background: The aging sand filters and ultra violet light disinfection system have experienced high maintenance costs to keep the treatment plant in compliance with the state permit limits.

CONSENT RESOLUTIONS 12. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF PEORIA FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS IN 67TH AVENUE, OLIVE AVENUE TO ARIZONA CANAL DIVERSION CHANNEL Purpose: This is a request for City Council to approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City of Peoria for the construction management, and construction of street improvements in 67th Avenue, between Olive Avenue and the Arizona Canal Diversion Channel (ACDC). Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: Two of the strategic goals for City Council are to provide one community with strong neighborhoods and provide a high quality of service to citizens. This project improves the level of service of a busy transportation corridor, addresses drainage issues, and it enhances the appearance of the adjoining neighborhoods. Background: This project will improve a section of 67th Avenue which borders the cities of Glendale and Peoria from Olive Avenue north along 67th Avenue to the ACDC. The city of Peoria desires to upgrade its sidewalks, landscaping, and street lighting along 67th Avenue within its city limits. The city of Glendale will complete the construction in conjunction with the street and storm drain improvements being constructed in the area and Peoria will reimburse Glendale for the cost of the construction. Community Benefit: This IGA will provide additional funds for the construction of this project which will improve the transportation capacity of 67th Avenue and upgrade street appurtenances. This project improves the level of service of a busy transportation corridor, and it enhances the appearance of the adjoining neighborhoods. Budget Impacts & Costs: The estimated total construction and construction administration cost for the Peoria's portion of the project is $2,500,000. Per the IGA the city of Peoria, upon approval of the IGA will remit a payment to the city of Glendale in the amount of$2,500,000 to be deposited into 67th Ave. Cactus to ACDC, Account No. 2000-68900-455800. This transaction will require the transfer of appropriation authority only of$2,500,000 from FY 2007-08 General Fund Contingency, Account No. 01-2450-7000, to 67th Ave. Cactus to ACDC, Account No. 2000-68900-550800. This will result in a reduction of general fund contingency appropriation authority for FY 2007-08. This will not result in a reduction in the general fund balance. Recommendation: Waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the city of Peoria for the construction management and construction of a storm drain in 67th Avenue, between Olive Avenue and the Arizona Canal Diversion Channel. 13. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF PHOENIX—RECLAIMED WATER SERVICE TO CAMELBACK RANCH AREA WITHIN PHOENIX Purpose: This is a request for City Council to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Phoenix for the City of Glendale to provide reclaimed water to an area of Phoenix known as Camelback Ranch. Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: This intergovernmental agreement meets the Council goals of a community with quality economic development and efficient use of available resources. Background: The area known as Camelback Ranch is an approximate 320-acre portion of the Phoenix Water Service Area located within the boundaries of Phoenix, southwest of the intersection of Bethany Home Road and 107th Avenue. The cities of Glendale and Phoenix agree that development of the Camelback Ranch Property as a mixed-use commercial development, including a Major League Spring Training Facility, is in the best interests of both cities and that utilization of reclaimed water for non-potable demands is desirable. The cities also agree that reclaimed water is an appropriate source of supply to serve turf-related water demands and other non-potable demands on the development. Phoenix does not currently provide reclaimed water service to the area and is unlikely to establish such service in the next 20 years. Glendale will remain the reclaimed water service provider for the development area and will be responsible for the distribution of reclaimed water to customers within the area using water lines owned and maintained by Glendale. In exchange for Glendale's delivery of reclaimed water to customers within the area, Phoenix agrees to provide Glendale an equal volume of replacement water. The services provided through this intergovernmental agreement are intended to be temporary as Phoenix plans to extend service to this area in the future. Budget Impacts & Costs: The costs of providing the reclaimed water will be recovered by the rates charged at the established Glendale reclaimed water rate. Recommendation: Waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the entering into of an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Phoenix for the provision of reclaimed water to an area of Phoenix known as Camelback Ranch. 14. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF PHOENIX—TREATED WATER SERVICE TO CAMELBACK RANCH AREA WITHIN PHOENIX Purpose: This is a request for City Council to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Phoenix for the provision of the City of Glendale's treated water to an area of Phoenix known as Camelback Ranch. Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: This intergovernmental agreement meets the Council goals of a community with strong neighborhoods, quality economic development and high quality services for citizens. Background: The area known as Camelback Ranch is an approximate 320-acre portion of the Phoenix Water Service Area located within the boundaries of Phoenix, southwest of the intersection of Bethany Home Road and 107th Avenue. Upon approval of this intergovernmental agreement, Glendale will provide wholesale treated potable water to Phoenix for the Camelback Ranch area and Phoenix will provide retail water service. The cities of Glendale and Phoenix agree that development of the Camelback Ranch Property as a mixed-use commercial development, including a Major League Spring Training Facility, is in the best interests of both cities. Although Phoenix has capacity in its water system to serve the area, installation of the water transmission lines cannot be completed in the time needed to meet the desired schedule for the development area. Therefore, Glendale agrees to provide treated water from its system to a Phoenix "Point of Delivery", and Phoenix will provide retail water service to customers in the area using water lines owned and maintained by Phoenix. Phoenix will pay to install the infrastructure to take the water from Glendale on a temporary basis. The treated water service provided by Glendale through this intergovernmental agreement is intended to be temporary as Phoenix expects to extend service to this are in the future. Glendale will provide treated water to Phoenix at Glendale's current rate until Phoenix has installed infrastructure capable of supplying its customers with adequate demands. Budget Impacts & Costs: This agreement is a financial benefit to the city's Utilities Department. In this agreement, Glendale recovers the water resources from Phoenix without cost. In addition, Glendale recovers all treated water costs by charging Phoenix the established Glendale treated water rate. Recommendation: Waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the entering into of an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Phoenix for the provision of treated water to an area of Phoenix known as Camelback Ranch. 15. 2008-2009 COUNCIL STRATEGIC GOALS AND KEY OBJECTIVES Purpose: This is a request for City Council to adopt its strategic goals and key objectives as discussed and developed at the November 26, 2007 Goal Review and Strategic Planning Retreat.

The seven strategic goals re-emphasize Council's long-standing commitment to provide a safe environment and the highest quality of services in the most fiscally prudent manner for Glendale's neighborhoods, businesses and Luke Air Force Base. Public Input: Public awareness of the adopted Council Strategic Goals and Key Objectives document is promoted through the publication on the city's website and in its key financial documents such as the budget book. When Council conducts business at its meetings or is presented with information at workshops, staff provides written information that informs the Council and the public on the relativity of the information to the Council's adopted strategic goals and key objectives. Recommendation: Waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the FY 2008-2009 Council Strategic Goals and Key Objectives of the Glendale City Council. 16.

PUBLIC HEARING—LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS 17. PROPOSED ANNEXATION AN-174: KALAMATA—7041 WEST OLIVE AVENUE (PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED) Purpose: This is a request by Montalbano Homes for City Council to conduct a public hearing on the blank annexation petition for Annexation Area AN-174 as required by state statute. The approximately 3 acre parcel is located along the 71st Avenue alignment south of Olive Avenue. Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: Glendale 2025, the city's General Plan, includes specific goals addressing the need for growth management. Annexation is a tool that can be used by the city to direct and manage growth. The proposed annexation is consistent with the council goal of one community with strong neighborhoods. Background: This annexation is a narrow strip, 105 feet wide and one-quarter mile long. It includes an area between the existing city limits of Glendale and Peoria, and leaves no unincorporated area between the two cities at this location. The approximately three acre property is currently vacant, with the western portion used as a farm field access road. The applicant has proposed that this annexation be used primarily for road right-of-way for the new 71st Avenue, with a 25-foot wide strip being retained by the applicant for use as a landscaped setback for the development. All buildings proposed within the Kalamata subdivision will be built on land that is currently in the City of Glendale. The proposed annexation will ensure that development is in conformance with the General Plan and is developed to city standards. This site will also receive city services, including police, fire, water, and sewer services if annexed. 71st Avenue will be built to city standards and is intended to be dedicated for use as a city street. The property is currently zoned R-43 (Rural Residential) in Maricopa County. Once annexed to the city, Glendale applies the most compatible zoning to the property. The most compatible Glendale zoning district is A-1 (Agriculture). In keeping with Council direction and the applicant's desires, a filed General Plan Amendment request and rezoning request will be considered concurrently with the annexation. The blank annexation petition was recorded on February 28, 2008. This public hearing is being conducted during the last 10 days of the 30-day waiting period required by state statute. Recording the blank annexation petition is the first formal step taken in the annexation process. The next step is to hold a public hearing on the blank annexation petition. Once the public hearing has been conducted and the 30-day waiting period expires, the appropriate signatures may be gathered. Once the required number of property owner signatures requesting annexation is obtained, Council will be asked to consider the adoption on an annexation ordinance. Previous Council/Staff Actions: The Planning Commission recommended approval of the General Plan Amendment and rezoning at its March 6, 2008 Planning Commission meeting. Community Benefit: The proposed annexation will permit the construction of 71st Avenue according to city development standards in this location. The new 71st Avenue will provide access for the proposed Kalamata development. 71st Avenue currently exists north of Olive Avenue, and a traffic signal serves this intersection. Public Input: All property owners within the area to be annexed have been notified of this public hearing by first class mail. The proposed annexation area has been posted in at least three conspicuous places on the property and advertised in The Glendale Star. Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing on the blank annexation petition for Annexation Area AN-174 as required by state statute. 18. REZONING APPLICATION ZON07-22 (ORDINANCE): SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING— 21432 NORTH 75TH AVENUE (PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED) Purpose: This is a request by Earl, Curley, and Lagarde P.C., representing Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., for City Council to approve a rezoning request from C-O (Commercial Office) to PAD (Planned Area Development) zoning district. Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: The proposed rezoning is consistent with the General Plan objective of development which is generally quiet with low to moderate traffic volume. The proposed rezoning promotes quality housing for residents needing an assisted living environment. This is consistent with the General Plan goals of creating diverse and safe neighborhoods. Background: The seven acre site is located at the northwest corner of 75th Avenue and Aurora Drive. The owner intends to construct a senior assisted living community consisting of 82 dwelling units. The development will include two buildings and related site improvements, such as parking and landscaping, associated with the development of the site. Previous Council/Staff Actions: The Planning Commission recommended approval of ZON07- 22 at a public hearing on February 7, 2008. Community Benefit: The requested rezoning is compatible with the General Plan classification of OFC (Office).

Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: Approval of this zoning change would result in a zoning district that most closely matches the underlying land use and intent of the General Plan. The rezoning of this property also supports the Council goal of creating one community with strong neighborhoods. Background: The 65.2 acre site is located north of Union Hills Drive between 57th and 59th avenues. The city of Glendale owns and operates the Foothills public library, Foothills public park, and the drainage channel located to the east. Previous Council/Staff Actions: This rezoning case was initiated by the Planning Commission on December 6, 2007 and was recommended for approval on February 7, 2008.

Staff received no comments during the Citizen Participation process. Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing, waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance for rezoning application ZON07-30 as recommended by the Planning Commission. ORDINANCES 21. FUGITIVE DUST ORDINANCE Purpose: This is a request for City Council to amend and adopt the ordinance that regulates fugitive dust particulate matter that contributes to air pollution. The ordinance is required to comply with a recently adopted State air quality law. Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: This ordinance addresses Council's goal of having a city with high quality services for citizens. The adoption of this ordinance will help to make the air cleaner for our community. Background: The Phoenix metropolitan area continues to violate the federal air quality standard for coarse particulate matter (PM-10). PM-10 includes dust, soot, and other particulate matter 10 microns in diameter or less. As a result, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) prepared and submitted a new and more stringent regional air quality plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in December 31, 2007. MAG, of which Glendale is a member, is the designated lead air quality planning agency for the Phoenix area. Failure to submit an acceptable plan or failure to meet the air quality standard could result in federal sanctions. These sanctions include the withholding of billions of dollars in federal highway funds and the imposition of a federal air quality plan prepared by the EPA. Glendale relies on federal highway funds to help pay for street improvements. In order to ensure full implementation of the regional air quality plan, the Governor and the State Legislature passed a new air quality law requiring Maricopa County, and cities and towns within the non-attainment area to adopt a fugitive dust ordinance that addresses specific emission sources, including off-road vehicle use, vehicle use on vacant land, existing unpaved parking areas and related ingress and egress areas, and leaf-blowers. State law requires that the fugitive dust ordinance be adopted by Maricopa County and the cities located in the Phoenix area no later than March 31, 2008. Staff from the City Attorney's Office, Code Compliance, Police Department, Intergovernmental Office, and Environmental Resources worked together on developing the ordinance. The ordinance closely follows the specific requirements set forth in state law. Previous Council/Staff Actions: The City Council adopted a resolution that contained Glendale's commitments to implement air quality control measures in the regional PM-10 Plan on June 12, 2007. The resolution included measures to restrict vehicular use and parking on vacant lots, pave or stabilize existing unpaved parking lots, reduce off-road vehicle use, and enforce trespassing laws and ordinances. Over the years, Glendale, in coordination with the Maricopa Association of Governments has prepared and submitted several air quality plans to the EPA. Community Benefit: The ordinance will help to improve air quality. Air quality is a public health concern for all communities. The people most affected by air quality conditions are children, the elderly, and those with respiratory and cardiovascular conditions. Public Input: The State Legislature used a stakeholder process to develop the new PM-10 air quality law. The stakeholder meetings were held in April through June 2007 and were open to the public. Glendale's representative in the stakeholder process was Doug Kukino, Environmental Resources Director. Budget Impacts & Costs: The Code Compliance Department and Police Department are prepared to implement and enforce the ordinance. No additional funding is being requested or is needed to fully implement the ordinance. Recommendation: Waive reading beyond the title and adopt the Fugitive Dust Ordinance. 22. DEEDS AND EASEMENTS ORDINANCE Purpose: This is a request for City Council to formally accept real estate properties on behalf of the City of Glendale. Background: The Deeds and Easements Ordinance is comprised of properties that have been deeded to the City. The deeds have all been recorded with Maricopa County. As a matter of practice, the Council formally accepts these properties by ordinance. Recommendation: Waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance formally accepting the real estate properties on behalf of the City of Glendale. PUBLIC HEARING RESOLUTIONS 23. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR FY 2008-09 (PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED) Purpose: This is a request for City Council to conduct a public hearing and authorize submission of the Annual Action Plan for FY 2008-09 to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD). The Annual Action Plan outlines all proposed FY 2008-09 funding recommendations for Federal HUD funding. Council Strategic Goals or Key Objectives Addressed: In 2005, the City Council adopted the 2005-2009 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, which prioritizes how Glendale will invest its Federal HUD funding to meet community needs. As adopted, these priorities consist of housing rehabilitation programs; programs that benefit seniors and youth; programs that prevent homelessness; programs addressing social needs; programs related to quality of life issues; clearance and demolition of blighted conditions; and programs or projects that help revitalization efforts throughout Glendale, with an emphasis in the redevelopment area. Background: In total, the city received 43 funding applications. Each of the applicants gave a formal presentation to the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC), which then voted to forward its recommendations to the Mayor and City Council. These recommendations were presented to the Mayor and Council at their February 19, 2008 Workshop study session. The following is a synopsis of each funding category for FY 2008-09: • Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) — The city will receive $2,201,030 of CDBG funds for activities that benefit low-and moderate income persons; aid in the elimination of slum and blight; and/or address an urgent community need. An additional $309,321 of program income and unspent CDBG funds from activities completed or cancelled in prior years has been allocated to fund physical improvements. Examples of how these funds will assist our community include the St. Mary's/Westside Food Bank Alliance for home food delivery; new playground equipment for the Boys & Girls Club; and congregate meals funding for the YWCA. • HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) — The city will receive $651,624 of HOME funds from the Maricopa County HOME Consortium. These funds are used for activities that will improve the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing, such the development of new infill housing constructed by Habitat for Humanity, Valley of the Sun, and the rehabilitation program for low-and-moderate income owner-occupied households in Glendale. • American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) — The city will receive $7,217 in ADDI funds from the Maricopa County HOME Consortium. These funds are used for programs that increase homeownership among low-to-moderate income first-time homebuyers. • Emergency Shelter Grants ESG — The city will receive $97,881 in ESG funds to provide assistance to families in danger of eviction or foreclosure by funding existing, successful programs that prevent homelessness. The funds will also be used to help operate existing shelters such as the West Valley Child Crisis Center, which provides shelter to abused/abandoned children. Previous Council/Staff Actions: The Community Development Advisory Committee Chair, Barbara Garland, presented the proposed Annual Action Plan funding recommendations to the Mayor and City Council at the February 19, 2008 workshop. Community Benefit: Since 1977, Glendale has received approximately $49 million in CDBG funds to assist thousands of Glendale homeowners and individuals with services that provide safe, decent housing, and improve their living conditions. Since 1992, Glendale has received $8,405,437 in HOME/ADDI program fund allocations that have been used for the construction of many new single-family homes, the preservation of existing homes, and first-time homeowner down payment assistance. The city has also received $293,933 (since 2004) in ESG funding to assist with homelessness. Public Input: The FY 2008-09 funding recommendations were developed after extensive public notification (August — September 2007), an orientation session for interested applicants (September 2007), and five CDAC public hearings and public meetings conducted in January of 2008. On February 14 and 21, 2008, a notice announcing the dates of the 30-day FY 2008-09 Annual Action Plan Review and Comment Period to run from February 22 through March 24, 2008, and notice of the final Public Hearing scheduled for March 25, 2008, was published in The Glendale Star. Budget Impacts & Costs: The CDBG, HOME, ADDI, and ESG programs are federally funded. The CDBG program does not have a match requirement. The HOME program does require a 25% match from non-federal funds and the ESG program requires a 100% match. An annual match allocation of$25,000 is provided in the General Fund budget as a supplement towards the required 25% match requirement for HOME projects administered by the city. The total match needed for the city's projects could exceed $152,716, depending on the projects. Even so, no additional general funds are necessary as the additional match needed will be provided by match carryover and other eligible in-kind resources such as donated materials or volunteer hours. Outside agencies that apply for HOME funds are required to provide a portion of their own matching funds. The ESG funding will be allocated to outside agencies. Agencies that receive these funds are required to provide a 100%in matching funds.
