PUBLIC HEARING
33. 16-289 FY16-17 PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVAL OF FISCAL YEAR
2016-17 PROPERTY TAX LEVY
Staff Contact: Vicki Rios, Interim Director, Finance and Technology
Ms. Rios said this is a request to conduct a public hearing in the proposed FY2016-2017
property tax levy. She said the property tax levy does not have a rate increase on either
the primary or secondary tax rate. The tax on existing properties within the city remains
the same. She said there will be a slight increase in revenue to the city, but that is only
due to the value of new property added to the tax levy over and above the prior year.
Mayor Weiers asked if she could say there is no increase once again.
Ms. Rios said there is actually a tax rate decrease.
Mayor Weiers said even better.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing on FY2016-2017 property tax levy.
There were no speakers on this item.

ORDINANCES
34. 16-241 ORDINANCE 2993: ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING GLENDALE
CITY CODE, ARTICLE 1 (IN GENERAL), CHAPTER 3 (ALARM
SYSTEMS)
Staff Contact: Debora Black, Police Chief
Assistant Chief St. John said this was a request to adopt an Ordinance amending
City of Glendale Page 9 Printed on 7/13/2016
City Council Meeting Minutes-Final June 14,2016
Glendale City Code, Article 1, and Chapter 3. In 2010, Council adopted Article 1,
Chapter 3, to institute the required permitting registration of alarms and assessment of
fees for two or more false alarms in a 365 day period. A fee was also assessed for
non-registration of the alarm systems. This Ordinance was aimed at obtaining updated
contact information for responsible parties and producing a reduction in false alarms.
Following the enactment, false alarms decreased somewhat, but false alarms began to
increase again. In 2014, an annual $20 fee was instituted for the alarm permits, effective
with the 2015 calendar year. Glendale was one of the last cities to institute this permit
fee; however, staff received many calls and complaints from citizens about the permit fee.
Police staff identified other changes that were needed to bring the Code into compliance
with state laws. This item is a request to remove the requirement for alarm owners to
register their systems with the Police Department, remove the $20 permit fee and to
remove any regulations in the Ordinance right now, so the City is in compliance with
state law. Assistant Chief St. John said the issue of false alarms is still a problem that
needs to be dealt with.
Assistant Chief St. John said the Police Department conducted an online survey and
received 877 responses. Responses to the survey indicated residents did not want to
see any penalties for false alarms. The respondents to the survey were not the ones in
violation of the Ordinance. He explained about half of the respondents provided some
narrative on what they wanted the Police Department to do to enhance the alarm
program. Staff recommends identifying the addresses that have a high amount of false
alarms per calendar year and then work with those residents or businesses to fix the
alarms and educate the user to reduce the number of calls received. The second
component of the program will include giving the alarm owner the opportunity to have the
false alarm fee waived. When a second false alarm call comes in, the Police Department
will provide that citizen with another online survey. Once the survey is completed, the
false alarm fee will be waived. Police Department staff will then work with the citizen to
ensure there won't be any additional false alarms. He said with the citizen input, the
Police Department can provide better information about what is causing false alarms and
keep them from occurring. He explained staff reviewed the surveys, met with alarm
companies, alarm owners and all stakeholders involved. With their input, staff has drafted
this new alarm Ordinance.
Mayor Weiers asked if this has anything to do with false alarm the Fire Department has
to respond to.
Assistant Chief St. John said the information he presented does not include false fire
alarms. He said this Ordinance is regarding burglar alarms.
Mayor Weiers said it is too bad they couldn't do something with the false fire alarms, as
that is a recurring problem. He said he didn't like what the Police Department did a year
ago about the alarms, and believed this was a good fix.

A motion was made by Councilmember Chavira,seconded by Vice Mayor Hugh,
that this agenda item be approved.The motion carried by the following vote:

PUBLIC HEARING-RESOLUTIONS
35. 16-134 RESOLUTION 5123: ADOPT A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING URBAN
IRRIGATION AND ESTABLISH IRRIGATION SERVICE RATES
PURSUANT TO GLENDALE CITY CODE (PUBLIC HEARING
REQUIRED)
Staff Contact: Craig Johnson, P.E, Director, Water Services
Mr. Johnson said this is a request to adopt a Resolution supporting urban irrigation and
implementing an irrigation rate increase following adoption of the Resolution. Mr.
Johnson recognized two commissioners on the Water Services Advisory Commission
that is in the audience, Ron Short and Robin Berryhill. He spoke about urban irrigation
and said it is in several places in the Salt River Valley. He said most customers receive
only potable water, but the city has managed an urban irrigation program since 1912. In
1960, a Resolution clarified that the property owner is responsible for the cost associated
with the extension of the urban irrigation system to their lot. In 2010, the city made a
decision to increase irrigation rates at a rate that matched increases for water rates.
There has not been an increase in urban irrigation rates since 2010. The Water Services
Advisory Commission was created in 2013, and members of the public have been very
involved in discussions regarding urban irrigation.
He continued the Commission made a number of recommendations at a May 6, 2015
meeting, nearly all of which have been incorporated into the Resolution. Several City
Council Workshops were held on this issue in 2015. Residents have consistently
expressed a desire to receive recognition for the value of urban irrigation and how it plays
in the community. The Resolution makes a strong statement for preserving the amenity.
The city has a responsibility to the taxpayers that the cost of providing this service is
recovered. The system has operated at a deficit for many years. The Resolution
demonstrates the city's support of the urban irrigation program, encourages new
customers in the service area to join the system, confirms that new customers are
responsible for costs associated with extending the service to their lots and establishes
that urban irrigation is a cost of service activity. Establishing a 50% cost recovery goal,
provides balance by preserving the traditional practice that adds to the ambiance of the
community and recovering a higher portion of the cost from customers directly benefitting
from the system. Staff recommends adopting a Resolution supporting urban irrigation
and implementing a rate increase upon adoption of the Resolution.
Councilmember Aldama made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Chavira, to amend
Resolution 5123, Section 1. He read, "Section 1 reads, that it is in the best interest of
the citizens of the City of Glendale to continue to have the City distribute irrigation water
and to maintain, inspect, monitor, repair, replace, and operate the urban irrigation
distribution. He read his proposed amendment as follows: "Section 1, that it is in the
best interest of the citizens of Glendale to continue to have the City distribute, preserve,
protect, maintain, inspect, monitor, repair, replace and operate the urban irrigation
distribution currently and in the future." He explained the amendment is to reflect the
recommendations of the Water Services Advisory Commission.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if this amendment was at the request of the Water
Services Advisory Commission.
Councilmember Aldama said he was asking that the words preserve, protect and
maintain be extracted and placed into the Resolution.
City of Glendale Page 11 Printed on 7/13/2016
City Council Meeting Minutes-Final June 14,2016
Councilmember Malnar said he was trying to get a clarification and that answered his
question.
Councilmember Aldama said irrigation is important to residents and he wanted to ensure
irrigation is provided to those who want it. He wanted to make sure flood. irrigation is
available now and in the future.
Councilmember Malnar asked if this Resolution will have any fiscal impacts and are there
any other requirements that have not previously been discussed by Council.
Mr.Johnson said no,this will impact a rate increase which will help offset expenses.
Mayor Weiers said the motion is not doing that.
Mr. Johnson said the motion is not doing that, but once the Resolution is passed, that is
what it will do.
Councilmember Malnar said he was just addressing the proposed amendment.
Mr. Johnson said all it is doing is strengthening the wording in Section 1 of the Resolution
to match more closely what was recommended by the Water Services Advisory
Commission.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if the wording preserve and protect clear enough as to
what the intent is.
Mr. Bailey said he believed it was.
Mayor Weiers said that is this Council's intent, but future Councils can always change
this.
Mr. Bailey said that is correct,they cannot legislatively bind future Councils.
Mayor Weiers said other than contracts.
Mr. Bailey said yes.
Councilmember Aldama wanted the public to know that after the start of the meeting, he
provided written copies of the amendment to the other Councilmembers so they had it in
front of them.
Councilmember Turner asked if a future Council would have to pass a new Resolution to
change the Resolution being discussion today.
Mr. Bailey said that is correct.
Councilmember Turner said he supports the amendment since it supports urban irrigation
now and protects it into the future.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing on Resolution 5123.
Mr. Bailey said there was a pending motion and second to amend the Resolution.
Mayor Weiers asked for the vote of all those in favor of the motion. The motion passed
City of Glendale Page 12 Printed on 7/13/2016
City Council Meeting Minutes -Final June 14,2016
unanimously.
Mayor Weiers said the publihearing was open.
Ms. Berryhill, an Ocotillo reeident, said she is an urban irrigation customer and a member
of the Water Services Advisory Commission. She spoke about the history of urban
irrigation. She spoke about whole neighborhoods that were put in without irrigation. She
said there are property rights and federal mandates that need to be addressed legally.
She spoke about the cost recovery rate. She was concerned about the cost of a major
repair that might price out urban irrigation from its customers, She said all city water
systems should be audited.
Mayor Welers closed the public hearing.

addresses Council priorities such as adding personnel to Public Safety to address
response times, addressing high employee turno,e,, improving the speed-to-market of
projects in the Planning Dopartmwnt, increasing productivity of the City through additions
