A motion was made by Councilmember Hugh,seconded by Vice Mayor Knaack, that this agenda item be approved.The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 7- Mayor Weiers,Vice Mayor Knaack, Councilmember Hugh, Councilmember Martinez, Councilmember Alvarez, Councilmember Sherwood, and Councilmember Chavira RESOLUTIONS City of Glendale Page 9 Printed on 9/24/2014 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final September 9,2014 26. 14-089 RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL FOR THE SALE OF THE GLENDALE ARENA NAMING RIGHTS TO THE GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY Staff Contact: Tom Duensing, Director, Finance and Technology RESOLUTION NO. 4854 NEW SERIES A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,ARIZONA, SUPPORTING THE SALE OF THE GLENDALE ARENA NAMING RIGHTS BY ICEARIZONA MANAGER CO., LP TO THE GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY AND APPROVING THE NAMING OF THE ARENA "GILA RIVER ARENA." • Mr. Duensing said this item was to approve the sale of the Glendale Arena naming rights from Ice Arizona to the Gila River Indian Community, which would rename the arena to the Gila River Arena. He said the sale of naming rights is subject to Council approval, but any disapproval must be for specific reasons. Councilmember Alvarez asked why Council is approving this if there is no money stated. Mr. Duensing said the city does receive 20 percent of the income off the naming rights. He said this item only approves renaming of the arena. He said it does not set forth an amount. He said this approval can only be for those specific terms. Councilmember Alvarez said they shouldn't have to approve anything that they don't have the right to ask how much the city will receive. She said the taxpayers are paying for the arena and the taxpayers should know that amount. Mayor Weiers clarified that tonight they are only approving a name, and aren't even sure that name change is going to happen, and said in a couple weeks, they will have the information about the money issues. Mr. Duensing said that was correct. Mayor Weiers said tonight was only approval of a name, but that didn't mean the name was going to be changed until Council approved the next step. Mr. Duensing said that was correct. Mayor Weiers asked Councilmember Alvarez if that answered her question. Councilmember Alvarez said no. Mr. Bailey said the underlying agreement provides that the city gets 20 percent. He said beyond that, with regard to naming rights, the only authority the City Council has is to either to give a thumb up or thumb down to the name. He said it is irrelevant what the amount is and that right has already been contracted away. He also stated with regard to the vote this evening, Council is approving the name of the arena, the Gila River Arena. He said they do not want the arena manager to enter into an agreement that the Council later has to object to. He said the arena manager is coming to the Council in advance and asking if the name is acceptable. Mr. Bailey said that was the question before Council tonight. He said in terms of what the revenue is, that has nothing to do with the arena naming rights that has more to do with the underlying agreement that has already been addressed. Ms. Fischer clarified that would not come back before Council for approval as the agreement was already approved last July, and the agreement called for 20 percent, and it would not need additional Council action. City of Glendale Page 10 Printed on 9/24/2014 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final September 9,2014 Councilmember Alvarez said the taxpayers gave them authorization to make payments for an arena that the city is leasing out. She said it is the city's building. She said she knows it is not illegal, but asked why can't the public know how much money the city is going to get off of this. She said this was discussed in executive session and she can't mention any of that, but she questions why they do an executive session and keep this information away from the public. Mayor Weiers clarified that the amount will come out publicly before any action is done. Mr.Bailey said the amount will come out and will be reflected in the budget and will be posted on the website and will be posted monthly. He said this is just the initial step, making sure the Council does not have any objection to the arena being named the Gila River Arena. Mayor Weiers called the names of the public wishing to speak. Bill Demski, a Glendale resident, spoke about the referendum with the University of Phoenix stadium and the naming rights. He spoke about the arena and the payments the city is making to IceArizona. He asked why IceArizona should get the majority of the naming rights. He said this was another scam on the taxpayer. He said he was totally against this. Mr. Demski had a discussion with Mayor Weiers about speaking only about the naming rights. He kept asking why IceArizona should get 80 percent of the naming rights. He continued about the illegal contracts that were entered into by previous Councilmembers. He also spoke about his concerns regarding Camelback Ranch. Robin Berryhill, a Glendale resident, said the city has spent a fortune in a legal fight with the TO nation and now that the city has made peace with the TO, the city is going to approve naming the arena the Gila River Arena. She said the name Gila River is associated with a casino and this is an inappropriate name. She said there was no amount in the contract and asked if that was the best deal they could get with the nation. She said she didn't think this was the best deal the city could get. She said they have disrespected the TO and the dealings with them and are giving carte blanche to another nation. She said it will give the impression the city now has two casinos instead of just one. She asked the Council to consider if the city is being fair to both nations. She said she didn't think the city was being fair to the TO after the city made an agreement with them. Ken Sturgis, a Phoenix resident, spoke about press reports that the contract is worth $3.5 million, so about$600,000 will come to the city. He spoke about naming other hockey arenas around the country. He said none of the other arenas are named after an Indian tribe. He said the arena is not being named for one of Arizona's rivers, and asked if the Gila River tribe was poking its finger in the city's eye because the city dropped its opposition to the TO casino. He asked when Glendale will stop being a pawn between the two nations. He proposed the city reject using the Gila River Arena name and support using the name Gila River Indian Community as formally established by Congress A motion was made by Councilmember Martinez,seconded by Councilmember Sherwood,that this agenda item be approved.The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 6- Mayor Weiers,Vice Mayor Knaack, Councilmember Hugh, Councilmember Martinez, Councilmember Sherwood, and Councilmember Chavira Nay: 1 - Councilmember Alvarez City of Glendale Page 11 Printed on 9/24/2014 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final September 9,2014 27. 14-127 . 2014 PRIMARY ELECTION CANVASS OF VOTE Staff Contact: Pamela Hanna, City Clerk RESOLUTION NO. 4855 NEW SERIES A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MAR/COPA COUNTY,ARIZONA, DECLARING AND ADOPTING THE RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION HELD ON AUGUST 26, 2014;AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION BE RECORDED.

The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 7- Mayor Weiers,Vice Mayor Knaack, Councilmember Hugh, Councilmember Martinez, Councilmember Alvarez, Councilmember Sherwood, and Councilmember Chavira City of Glendale Page 12 Printed on 9/24/2014 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final September 9,2014 CITIZEN COMMENTS Bill Demski, a Glendale resident, said he wished Mr. Bailey would renegotiate the contracts. He also said he read an article about Judge Finn and the cost of traffic school, which was the highest in the state. He spoke about a mistake made in the cost of traffic school. He also spoke about employee salaries. He said if mistakes are made, they need to be corrected. He also spoke about the salaries of the governor and senators in the state. . Robin Berryhill, a Glendale resident, agreed with the other comments about renaming the arena with the entire tribe name. She also spoke about the two assistant city managers and her request for an explanation since the charter only calls for one assistant city manager. She reminded everyone that the September 12th deadline for a response was coming up. She also spoke about citizen input. She said the citizens give their input, but she didn't think they were heard. She spoke about the Water Services Advisory Board doesn't follow any rules during their board meeting. She also said four board members are from the Central Arizona Project water district and three are from the SRP water district. She said SRP water is much cheaper and the board is stacked against CAP water members. She said the CAP users, which are two-thirds of the residents in Glendale, are underrepresented. She said citizen input is not being heard and she would like that changed as she didn't have enough time to tell the Council why she was there. Ken Sturgis, a Phoenix resident, said he has moved to the city of Phoenix. He said the Council is still not working together and continues to be divided. He spoke about the lack of citizen engagement in Glendale. He spoke about the deficit to the city from the arena. He discussed a verbal exchange that occurred at a City Council meeting between Councilmember Chavira and Mr. LeBlanc regarding the arena. He said it was not Mr. LeBlanc's place to fix the city, he said it is the Council's responsibility. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS Councilmember Hugh said there was a great groundbreaking for the TO casino. He said the building has begun already. Vice Mayor Knaack said Mr. Duensing will be receiving an award for excellence in financial management. She thanked him for his efforts. She also mentioned about the vote to put school resource officers back into the schools. She said they also do a fabulous job. Mayor Weiers spoke about the rainstorm on Monday. He said he had never experienced that amount of rain in such a short period of time. He said he was very proud of the staff and how they reacted to the storm. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:05 p.m. Pamela Hanna- City Clerk • City of Glendale Page 13 Printed on 9/24/2014
