Community Development Block Grant (EECBG) program the city received from the United
States Department of Energy. This project consists of replacing exterior and interior lighting
including fluorescent lamps and ballasts with products that would conserve more energy.
Seven offers were received in response to bid 091004. The lowest responsible offer was received
from AJP Electric, Inc. for this one-time purchase. This energy efficiency project will be
completed by the end of the calendar year.
On March 23, 2010, Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept the
EECBG funding.
The program will result in an upgrade of the light fixtures to provide better illumination for
library patrons and to reduce energy consumption through the installation of more energy
efficient fixtures.
The funding is available through the Department of Energy's federal grant program related to
economic stimulus funding to promote energy efficiency. The City of Glendale was awarded the
Energy Efficiency Community Development Block Grant in FY 2009-10. The improvements
that will be completed as a result of this contract award are expected to decrease electricity

prospects within targeted economic industries, as well as leverage public and private partnerships
to locate such prospects.
The city has had a professional services agreement in place with GPEC since 1989. The city's
participation reflects regional cooperation which is significant to businesses who are considering
a metropolitan area.
The organization promotes the region to a broad variety of national and international companies
and generates editorial stories and advertisements in markets the city could not otherwise secure.
For FY 2009-10, the contracted amount for services with GPEC was $91,974. This year, GPEC
adjusted fees in response to economic conditions for all cities. As a result, this year's fee is less
than the amount paid last year.
Council has appropriated funds for membership for the last 20 years.

This is a request for City Council to adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into
two intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) with local school districts to assign Glendale Police

The SROs work on campus while school is in session. During the summer break SROs will
complete duties assigned by the Police Department.
SROs have been assigned to the schools and IGAs have been approved each year since 1992.
This partnership allows the Police Department to continue educational efforts in local schools
while increasing police visibility and the presence in the community.
Both the Glendale Union High School District and the Glendale Elementary School District
received grant funding, which will fully pay for the officers' salaries and benefits during the
schools FY 2010-11. There is no cost to the city for this program.

within the city.
Pedestrian trail improvements are planned northwest of the intersection of 51st Avenue and
Cactus Road along the Arizona Canal Diversion Channel (ACDC) as part of the Thunderbird
Parking Lot Improvements and Marshall Trail Connector project. The paved trail system will

This is a request for City Council to conduct a public hearing and adopt an annexation ordinance
for Annexation Area No. 186, which is approximately 193 acres.
The proposed annexation is consistent with Council's goal of one community with an active
partnership with Luke Air Force Base.
This annexation contains multiple parcels,including the Falcon Dunes Golf Course of Luke Air
Force Base, the Dysart Drain, the property acquired by the City of Glendale on Bethany Home
Road for the placement of waterlines, and property at the northeast corner of Glendale Avenue
and Litchfield Road proposed for redevelopment. Portions of the annexation closest to Luke Air
Force Base are within the 65 ldn(average day-night) noise contour line of the base. The Falcon
Dunes Golf Course serves the base and also acts as a retention basin, and is within a flood plain.
The Dysart Drain conveys water from the base to the Agua Fria River. On February 26, 2010,
the Secretary of the Air Force approved the city's request to annex the Falcon Dunes Golf
Course and Dysart Drain.
As the proposed annexation includes multiple parcels, the city's General Plan designations for
the properties being considered for annexation include Luke Compatible Land Use and Business
Park. The areas proposed to be annexed are currently zoned RU-43 (Rural Residential one acre
per dwelling unit) and C-3 (General Commercial). The General Commercial parcel is an
existing restaurant at the intersection of Litchfield Road and Glendale Avenue.
On June 22, 2010 Council conducted a public hearing on the blank annexation petition for
Annexation Area No. 186 as required by state statute.
The annexation will strengthen the city's ties with Luke Air Force Base, will bring city-owned
facilities and property into the corporate limits of the city, and will require that any future
development meet the Glendale General Plan requirements as well as all other Glendale
development standards.
A public notice for the City Council public hearing was published in The Glendale Star on
August 26, 2010, and the property was posted on August 27, 2010. Notification letters were
mailed to property owners on August 27, 2010. No comments have been received.

Jon Froke, AICP, Planning Director,presented this item.
This is a request for City Council to adopt an ordinance and approve Official Supplemental
Zoning Map ZMA-16.
Zoning Map Amendments and accurate zoning district boundaries help achieve one community
with strong neighborhoods and a city with high-quality services for citizens.
The zoning map is part of the zoning ordinance and identifies the zoning district boundaries for
all property within the city. The zoning district designations on the map are formally amended
by Council through the adoption of an ordinance. Staff updates the map to reflect Council's
approval of individual zoning applications as they are approved. These map updates are
periodically brought to Council for a formal map amendment when rezoning stipulations have
been completed.
Council approved three rezoning applications shown on ZMA-16 between September 1997 and
January 2006. Official Supplemental Zoning Map ZMA-16 will formally amend the zoning map
to reflect these changes.
The community benefits from the formal map amendments by providing accurate zoning district
boundaries on the map.

Larry Broyles, P.E., City Engineer, presented this item.
This is a request for City Council to adopt an ordinance abandoning a portion of a waterline
easement west of 67th Avenue and south of Patrick Lane on the Mountain Ridge High School
Campus.
Abandoning the easement supports Council's goal of one community with high-quality services
for citizens by allowing the waterline relocation to accommodate a new school building.
In January 1996, the Deer Valley School District dedicated water and sewer easements to the city
throughout the campus site. The district is expanding the campus and, to accommodate a new
school building, will be relocating a portion of the waterline and the school's looped road in
which the waterline easement is located. The district will grant a new easement to the city to
protect the relocated waterline in its new location. The plans for relocating the waterline have
been reviewed and approved by the appropriate city staff.

portion of a waterline easement west of 67`" Avenue and south of Patrick Lane on the Mountain
Ridge High School Campus.
