PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
PRAYER/INVOCATION
CITIZEN COMMENTS
The Venerable from the Truc Lam Buddhist Center offered the invocation.
Mayor Weiers recognized the Glendale Police Officers and Glendale Police Explorers
who were attending the meeting.
Mayor Weiers said Councilmember Chavira was attending the meeting by phone and
Councilmember Turner had an emergency and would be arriving later.
James Deibler, a Phoenix resident, spoke about the Glendale Elementary School District
meeting. At that meeting, ways to accommodate displaced students from Challenger
Middle School and Landmark Elementary School were discussed. Repairs to those
schools needed to be made and he hoped they would reopen soon.
Kim Baker, an Avondale resident, congratulated the winners of the recent election. He
would be seeking a federal criminal indictment against Interim Police Chief Rick St. John.
Mr. Baker hoped the Council would take that into consideration when selecting the new
Police Chief.
Connie Kiser, a Sahuaro District resident, was concerned about the lack of citizen
participation regarding the proposed text amendment ZTA 16-02. The amendment, which
allowed unlimited numbers of chickens to be kept on residential properties, would impact
the City. She said opposition to the amendment was strong, and before it was voted on,
the citizens of Glendale should be given a chance to voice their opinions on the issue.
Ms. Kiser asked that neighborhood meetings be held to allow for greater participation
because it affected the property rights of many residents.
Bob Gonzalo, a Barrel District resident, spoke about the damage done at the fiesta and
asked who was going to pay for the vandalism. He also congratulated the winners of the
recent election. He spoke about candidates supported by the Fire Department and said
the department should have chosen better candidates to support. He hoped no one
would dispute the validity of the election.

Ms. Bower said that the City had conducted its election in coordination with Maricopa
County to fill the Mayor's seat and Council seats in the Sahuaro, Cactus and Yucca
Districts. Also on the ballot was Proposition 497, approval of the City's General Plan.
A.R.S. 16-642, required that Council canvass the results of the election not less than six
days, nor more than 20 days following the election.
Ms. Bower explained that due to the short turnaround time in receiving election results
from the County, the Clerk's Office was unable to post a copy of the resolution in advance
of the meeting and therefore, the resolution would be read in full.

James Deibler, a Phoenix resident, congratulated the winners of the election. He knew
Mayor Weiers and Councilmember-elect Joyce Clark would do a good job for the City.
He said Councilmember Chavira would continue doing a good job with his work for the
Phoenix Fire Department.
Councilmember Turner spoke about what canvassing the vote really meant. He said he
believed it was Council receiving the vote tabulation from the County and by Council
approval, they were changing it from an unofficial vote tabulation to an official vote
tabulation. He was concerned that the County Elections Department was not proactive
with some of the problems experienced during the election and that there was little
communication about these problems. He was also concerned about the incident that
occurred at Don Mensendick School and the chain of custody issues that incident raised.
He said the County's lack of response and follow through on the incident was a disservice
to the residents of Glendale. He expressed concern about the permanent early voter list
and the fact that independent voters were not getting early ballots mailed to them in
Glendale's nonpartisan election.
Councilmember Aldama agreed with Councilmember Turner's comments. He wanted the
audience to be aware that he was disappointed in the County Elections Department and
their lack of communication with the City Cleric. He asked the citizens to hold the
County Elections Department accountable for their actions during the election process.
He said neither the candidates nor the City received good customer service from the
City of Glendale Page 9 Printed on 9/28/2016
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final September 13, 2016
County.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said several of her constituents asked questions about the
incidents that occurred during the election. She spoke with the City Clerk several days
after the election and the Clerk had not been provided information about exactly what had
occurred. She said there was a lack of communication from the County to the City about
what had occurred. She said the County needed to step up and get it right to preserve
citizens' right to vote. She hoped constituents would reach out to the County to let it
know this was unacceptable.
Councilmember Aldama said the City had an obligation to hold anyone who had a
contract with the City accountable and that included the County.
Councilmember Malnar was satisfied with the explanations he received about the issues
that occurred during the election. He said it wasn't fair to condemn the County for the
problems that occurred during the election and the sentiment was a little stronger than
the County deserved.
A motion was made by Councilmember Tolmachoff, 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,
Councilmember Malnar, Councilmember Tolmachoff, and Councilmember Turner
REQUEST FOR FUTURE WORKSHOP AND EXECUTIVE SESSION
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Hugh, seconded by Councilmember Turner, to
hold the next regularly schedule City Council Workshop on Tuesday, September
20, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers, to be followed by an Executive
Session pursuant to A.R.S. 38-431.03. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Weiers, Vice Mayor Hugh, Councilmember Aldama, Councilmember Chavira,
Councilmember Malnar, Councilmember Tolmachoff, and Councilmember Turner
COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
Mayor Weiers recognized Matthew Monahan from Boy Scout Troop 365, who was
attending the meeting as part of his civic requirement for Eagle Scout.
Councilmember Aldama said the invocation was a great display of diversity in the
community. He thanked the Public Works Department for the tour they provided. He said
the common theme was customer service. He asked the City Manager to provide
follow-up on the damage that occurred during festival, and wanted that vandalism to be
treated as any other vandalism on City property.
Councilmember Malnar thanked the community for the opportunity to serve for the next
four years.
Councilmember Tolmachoff thanked public safety for their presence during the Cardinals
game on September 11th. She also said she hoped the Cardinals win this week.
Councilmember Turner thanked the City Clerk and the Clerk's Office staff for getting them
through the election process this year. He wanted the Clerk's Office to know he was not
criticizing it in his previous comments about the election. He thanked the General Plan
Steering Committee and Planning Department staff who assisted with amending the
City of Glendale Page 10 Printed on 9/28/2016
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final September 13, 2016
General Plan which was approved by the voters.
ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Weiers thanked The Venerable who provided tonight's prayer. He said there was a
large Vietnamese population in Glendale and he had spent time at the Buddhist Temple,
and said it was a lovely experience. He expressed his sadness at the news of the death
of former City Manager Marty Vanacour, who served the City from 1985 to 2002. He
asked Councilmember Turner to say a few words about Mr. Vanacour.
Councilmember Turner said he was in high school when he first met Mr. Vanacour, and
had known him throughout his career. He said Mr. Vanacour knew City employees by
name and worked for Glendale for over 30 years. During Mr. Vanacour's tenure as City
Manager, Glendale experienced huge growth and the City was so much better for it.
Mayor Weiers was happy the election was over and it was time to get back to making
Glendale the greatest city in Arizona.
The City Council adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
I hereby certify that the foregoing minutes are a true and correct

of Glendale, Arizona, held on the 13th day of September, 2016.
