CITIZEN COMMENTS
Jill Helland, a Goodyear resident and a Principal in the Pendergast Elementary School
District, wanted to let everyone know that every month her district provides a free
community cabinet breakfast, which is a great opportunity to network. The next
breakfast is coming up on March 1, 2016 at the Pendergast Learning Center and all are
invited. She said the Pendergast Governing Board Meetings are open to the public and
she encouraged the community to attend. She said the next meeting is on March 2,
2016. She also said every month; there are free parent lunches to provide a little bit of
training and speakers. The next meeting is on March 17, 2016. She said there is a free
Kindergarten readiness event on March 2, 2016. She also reminded voters about ballot
proposition 123 for the election on May 17, 2016, which would increase education
funding.
James Deibler, a Phoenix resident, spoke about the adult store near 51st Avenue and
Northern and said this business is inappropriate for the neighborhood. He said adult
businesses should operate only in industrial areas, not near neighborhoods. He supports
family values in Glendale and Peoria. He said the adult store is a bad influence for
women and children. The City of Glendale and the State of Arizona need to regulate the
adult store businesses. These businesses have brought crime to neighborhoods. He is
against adult stores.

reimburse the City for those purchases in addition to finance or fund additional parking
improvements necessary out in the Westgate area. He said they are unsure of the dollar
amount of those parking improvements; therefore, this request is amended to $32 million.
He said they will only issue GO bonds adequate enough to fund the amount of the
parking improvements. He said the exact amount will be known in about 2 to 3 weeks.
Mr. Duensing introduced Kurt Freund, Managing Director, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, and
Bill Dehaan, Greenberg Traurig, LLP. He said Mr. Freund was involved in the city's
recent refunding which saved the city a substantial amount of money.
Mayor Weiers asked Mr. Bailey if a motion needed to be made to change to amend the

amendment is needed.

Staff Contact: Brent Stoddard, Director, Intergovernmental Programs
RESOLUTION NO. 5073 NEW SERIES WAS READ BY NUMBER AND TITLE ONLY, IT
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA
COUNTY, ARIZONA, ADOPTING THE AMENDED GLENDALE CITY COUNCIL
"COUNCIL MEETING RULES AND PROCEDURES" AMENDING FOR THE CITY CLERK
TO INTRODUCE ALL ITEMS AT COUNCIL VOTING MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS.
Mr. Stoddard said this item is a request to amend council meeting rules and procedures
to specify that the City Clerk will introduce items at voting meeting and workshops. The
Charter specifies that the Council appoint a City Clerk to keep a journal of the Council's
proceedings. It is the practice of many cities and towns for the City Clerk to read the
agenda items into the official record. He explained the Resolution will amend Section 3.3
of that document to identify the City Clerk as the individual who will introduce the consent
agenda items at the voting meeting. The Resolution will amend Section 4.2 which will
specify that at Council Workshops, the Clerk will introduce the items and the City
Manager will introduce any staff making presentations during the workshop.
Mayor Weiers asked if the proposed language would take into consideration if the City
Clerk was not present at the meeting and say the City Clerk or a designee of the Clerk.
Mr. Bailey said there is the basic assumption that if the City Clerk was not available,
someone would read it, however, language could be added to include a designee.
Mayor Weiers said he thought that would be best.
A motion was made by Councilmember Aldama,seconded by Councilmember
Chavira,that this agenda item be approved.The motion carried by the following
vote:
Aye: 7- Mayor Weiers,Vice Mayor Hugh, Councilmember Aldama, Councilmember Chavira,
