R18-34 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE FY2018 CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT GRANT AWARD FROM THE MARICOPA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS IN THE APPROXIMATE AMOUNT OF $515,332 FOR THE PURCHASE OF TWO PM-10 CERTIFIED STREET SWEEPERS AND EXPENDITURE OF A LOCAL MATCH Presented By: Michelle Woytenko, Director, Field Operations Bill Demski,Sahuaro District, asked if the City had a 10-micron dust particle sweeper. That types of sweeper had been in use when he had worked for the City in the 1990s and when the loads were dumped, dust would blow all over. A loader was used to move the pile of debris and more dust would blow away when the pile was moved. Ms. Woytenko requested that Council waive reading beyond the title and adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept a federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement(CMAQ) grant from the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) in an amount not to exceed $515,332 for the purchase of two PM-10 certified street sweepers and approve a contingency transfer for the grant match in the amount of$31,150. Ms. Woytenko said the CMAQ grant from MAG allowed the City to purchase two certified sweepers with a 5.7% cash match, or$31,150. Staff from Field Operations' Solid Waste Management and Equipment Management divisions analyzed sweeper specifications and selected the Schwarze M6 Avalanche to best meet the City's needs. City Council Meeting Minutes-April 10,2018 Page 4 of 10 Ms. Woytenko said acceptance of the grant would allow the City to purchase two new street sweepers to replace two of its fleet of sweepers which had reached the end of service life. The use of certified street sweepers contributed to improved air quality in Maricopa County by reducing the amount of dirt and dust on roadways that had the potential of becoming airborne due to vehicular traffic and blowing wind. The department currently had five PM-10 certified street sweepers. Mayor Weiers asked Ms. Woytenko to respond to Mr. Demski's concerns about dust. Ms. Woytenko said the street sweepers were equipped with built-in dust-suppression systems and the collected material was sprayed with water. It was a controlled environment and was sprayed again before it was dumped. The material was not dumped on the ground and was not picked up with loaders any more. It went into a contained bin and then out to the landfill. 17. RESOLUTION NO.

The land surrounding the substation was owned by the City and was part of the Grand Canal Linear Park also known as Bethany Home Outfall Channel (BHOC) Linear Park. SRP wanted to locate a well site adjacent to the substation and had offered to purchase 15,000 square feet or 0.34 acres of the City's land for$80,000. There would be no impact and no additional costs incurred by the City for the action. Councilmember Clark asked if the well would generate any kind of noise or if there would be any kind of wall surrounding it to provide noise mitigation. Mr. Beard replied that there would be a fence around it. A well was currently located on the property and no noise complaints had ever been received. Mayor Weiers asked if SRP was replacing the well. Mr. Beard said it was an additional well. A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff to adopt Ordinance No. 018-27.

It consisted of a 90-foot wide half-street right-of-way adjacent to the current development. The City's Transportation Department had determined that the improvements required for the development required only 75 feet of right-of-way so there was no need for the 15-foot strip of right-of-way. Mr. Beard said there were no objections to the abandonment of the right-of-way from the public utility companies or from City departments. Staff recommended abandonment of the right-of-way.
