CITIZEN COMMENTS Donald Brazier, Barrel District, member of the Citizens Transportation Oversight Commission (CTOC), said Proposition 402 was approved to fund the City's transportation needs including a regional light rail connection to downtown Glendale by increasing the City's excise tax by a ''A penny per$1.00. The CTOC was established to.ensure approved projects were completed in a timely and cost-effective manner. Mr. Brazier said the CTOC unanimously supported the extension of light rail into downtown Glendale. The majority of Council had recently rejected the proposed extension of light rail to Glendale. The decision showed disrespect to the members of CTOC because it deprived them of the right to advise Council on the matter. Now that Council had voted against the will of the voters, he asked what happened to the funds that had been collected for light rail through the increased excise tax. Mayor Weiers recognized members of Girl Scout Troop 473 who were attending the meeting. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES 1.

Arizona became a Purple Heart State on May 9, 2016. There had been many Glendale residents who made the ultimate sacrifice in the giving of their lives in the cause of freedom.

The proclamation was accepted by Glendale resident Mike Russell. Mr. Russell was an Army Ranger during the Vietnam War and was awarded seven Purple Hearts and two Bronze Stars for valor.

ORDINANCE NO. 017-51 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, ARIZONA, BY APPROVING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT ZTA16-01 FOR DONATION DROP BOXES AND AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AS FOLLOWS: ARTICLE 2 (DEFINITIONS); ARTICLE 3 (ADMINISTRATION); ARTICLE 5 (ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS)AND ARTICLE 7 (GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS); PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE;AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE BE RECORDED. Presented By: Jon Froke, AICP, Planning Director Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. • Mr. Froke said the request was initiated by the Planning Commission at its workshop on December 3, 2015. The proposed Zoning Text Amendment(ZTA) addressed the regulation of donation drop-off boxes by creating a new section relative to Temporary Use Permits. Council had provided direction at workshops on September 20, 2016 and March 21, 2017. At its public hearing on May 18, 2017, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the ZTA. Mr. Froke said the proposed ordinance allowed property owners the right to remove a donation drop box at any time. Staff was recommending approval of the proposed ordinance. Mayor Weiers said the Council report indicated that the allotment of boxes was 1 acre or less - 1 box; 1-3 acres -2 boxes; and 3+acres-4 boxes. He asked if the property owner had exactly 3 acres, were 2 boxes or 4 boxes allowed. Mr. Froke said properties larger than 3 acres were allowed up to 4 boxes. Mayor Weiers asked that the language be clarified. He said in the situation where a property owner had less than an acre and wanted to support two charities with two boxes, he would not be able to do so under the proposed ordinance. Mr. Froke said that was correct. Mayor Weiers had a problem with that because it created an opportunity to run smaller charities out of business and possibly took away property rights. He was also concerned that the ordinance did not differentiate between for profit and not for profit businesses. Councilmember Tolmachoff said the wording in the ordinance was different than the Council report. It read"up to 1 acre." Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing. No one wished to speak. Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Councilmember Jamie Aldama, seconded by Councilmember Joyce Clark to adopt Ordinance No. 017-51. Councilmember Aldama was very comfortable with the ordinance and it would reduce the visual clutter in the community. City Council Meeting Minutes-October 24,2017 Page 8 of 13 Mayor Weiers did see a problem with the ordinance when a responsible property owner with less than 1 acre wanted to support more than one charity. He would be voting no. The vote on the motion was: AYE: Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Tumer NAY: Mayor Jerry Weiers Passed PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTIONS 28. RESOLUTION NO. R17-101 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, ESTABLISHING WATER AND SEWER USER RATES PURSUANT TO GLENDALE CITY CODE;AND SETTING FORTH EFFECTIVE DATES. Presented By: Tom Duensing,Assistant City Manager Presented By: Jack Friedline, Assistant City Manager Ms. Bower read the resolution by title. Mr. Duensing said the request was for City Council to conduct a public hearing pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) §9-511.01 regarding proposed water and wastewater rates. After the public hearing, staff was requesting Council waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution adjusting water and wastewater(sewer) rates effective for bills issued on or after January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019, respectively. Mr. Duensing said in December 2016, the Water Services Department engaged Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. to review its financial plans and prepare a cost of service analysis including a comparison of revenues to operating and capital costs to determine the adequacy of existing rates. The results of the financial analysis were discussed in depth with the Citizens Utilities Advisory Commission (CUAC)which recommended options for rate increases for the Council to consider. Mr. Duensing said City staff discussed the options with the Council in a series of workshops. Staff also conducted a citizen survey and a series of public meetings regarding the potential rate increases. Based on the feedback from the public, the CUAC, and the Council, staff updated the financial models which resulted in the proposed rates. Mr. Duensing said the proposed water and wastewater rate adjustments were anticipated to impact an average residential customer using 9,700 gallons of water and wastewater monthly by 5.5%, or an additional $3.66 per month in January 2018 and by an additional 5.4%, or$3.83 per month in January 2019. Staff had complied with all statutory requirements in bringing the item forward. Councilmember Clark asked what was the percentage rate recommended by the consultant. City Council Meeting Minutes-October 24,2017 Page 9 of 13 Mr. Duensing said it was 30% over a period of five years. Councilmember Clark asked, after going through the entire process of citizen input, etc., did the percentage change. It was her understanding that the overall percentage had remained the same, it was just distributed differently over the five-year period. Craig Johnson, Water Services Director, said that was correct. Councilmember Clark said, at the end of the process, the City had the same result as what the consultant had initially recommended and that bothered her. There was never consideration given to the citizens who thought the increase was too much and too fast. She would have distributed the increase over a 7 or 8-year period. There had previously been a tiered rate structure and she asked if that was still in place. Mr. Johnson said there was currently a tiered rate structure in place. Councilmember Clark asked what the difference in rate was for minimal users and average users. Mr. Johnson said 25% used 4,000 gallons or less, 25% used 7,100 gallons or less and 25% used 13,000 gallons or less. For a person in the low usage, their increase would be $1.18. Councilmember Clark asked if the percentage of increase stayed the same regardless of usage. Mr. Johnson said that was correct. Councilmember Clark said there used to be a tiered rate structure where low water users paid a smaller percentage than heavier users. Mr. Johnson said it was a tiered structure then and was tiered structure now. Councilmember Tolmachoff said the CUAC had requested a quarterly review and she would like that provided to Council also. Councilmember Malnar said the approval would be for rate increases for the next two years and anything after that would require approval by Council. Mr. Johnson said that was correct. Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing. No one wished to speak. Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh to approve Resolution No. R17-101. Councilmember Aldama had done a lot of research and public outreach regarding the rate increase. The residents in his district were overwhelmingly opposed to the rate increase and would have preferred a rate increase spread out over ten years. He would be voting no. Councilmember Clark would also be voting no because there was no tiered rate structure. Although Council was voting on a 2-year rate increase, she knew it would increase for the next 5 years. It was too hard on residents. City Council Meeting Minutes-October 24,2017 Page 10 of 13 Councilmember Malnar realized a 30% increase was high but staff had been diligent in trying to minimize the impact in the first 2 years. There would be discussion on future increases. He said there was infrastructure that needed to be maintained and upgraded. He said most constituents understood there was a need to maintain the infrastructure. Councilmember Malnar believed that high users were penalized with the tiered structure. He would be voting in support of the motion. Councilmember Tolmachoff said no one wanted a rate increase but Council had a responsibility to make the tough decisions. It also had a responsibility to provide reliable and safe services. The investment in infrastructure would provide needed redundancies, replace aging and outdated equipment and make capital improvements that would protect the water supply and delivery. She understood that it wasn't done yet and when some of the G.O. bond funding capacity was freed up, she wanted to talk about paying back the enterprise fund. Councilmember Turner said Council didn't enjoy being in a position of raising rates but it had been 8 years since the last water and sewer rate increase and 10 years for the sanitation rate. It would have been better if the rates had been raised incrementally over that time period but that didn't happen. He knew it would affect some people harder than others but it was a health and safety issue. The City needed to be proactive instead of reactive. He supported the rate increase. Vice Mayor Hugh agreed with Councilmember Turner that it was a health and safety issue. He would support the rate increase to continue providing the best water possible. Mayor Weiers asked people to imagine private companies providing water, sewer, trash pick-up and street sweeping. He said the City did a great job of providing excellent services. He didn't like the fact that the City had to raise rates. It would have been better if there had been small, incremental increases but previous Councils had decided not to do that because of the Great Recession. The City was now behind. Residents were getting value for the increase. He would vote for the rate increase. The vote on the motion was: AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner NAY: Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Passed REQUEST FOR FUTURE WORKSHOP AND EXECUTIVE SESSION A motion was made by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh, seconded by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff that Council hold a regularly scheduled City Council workshop on Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 1:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers, to be followed by an executive session pursuant to A.R.S. 38-431.03; that Council vacate the regularly scheduled City Council voting meeting on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 due to the National League of Cities conference; that Council hold a special City Council workshop on Monday, November 20, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. at the Civic Center Annex, 5750 West Glenn Drive, Glendale Arizona; and that Council hold a regularly scheduled City Council workshop on Tuesday, November 21, City Council Meeting Minutes-October 24,2017 Page 11 of 13 2017 at 1:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers, to be followed by an executive session pursuant to A.R.S. 38-431.03. AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS Councilmember Aldama reminded residents of the upcoming G.A.I.N. event being held on Friday, October 27th at Murphy Park in downtown Glendale, from 5:00—8:00 p.m. Councilmember Aldama said the Glendale Resurgence event was being held on Saturday, October 28th in downtown Glendale, from 5:00—9:00 p.m. Councilmember Clark said the Touch a Truck event, held last Saturday at Westgate, was very well attended. She said it was a popular event and congratulated staff. Councilmember Clark reminded residents that the Yucca District meeting would be held at Heroes Park on Thursday, October 26th at 6:00. Councilmember Malnar said Saturday, October 28th at 9:00 a.m., was the Paseo Racquet Center ribbon-cutting. The center had been renovated. Councilmember Tolmachoff said the Foothills Recreation and Aquatics Center was hosting a Halloween event on October 27th at 6:00 p.m. Councilmember Turner apologized to the members of the Citizens Transportation Oversight Committee for failing to provide the information from Valley Metro for review and recommendation. Councilmember Turner reminded residents of the Barrel district meeting on October 25th at 6:00 p.m. at the Glendale American Elementary School. He had been walking the neighborhoods handing out information about the meeting and had noticed fire safety issues, crime issues, code enforcement issues, park issues and budget issues. It occurred to him that he was starting to look at things from many different points of view. Councilmember Turner thought the City could do a better job at looking at how each department could be more transparent when conducting the City's business. Council could also do a better job of making residents feel their voices were heard and their vote was respected. Vice Mayor Hugh reported that his district meeting, held last week,was attended by over 100 people. He thanked the Councilmembers who attended and staff for its work on the meeting. Mayor Weiers wanted to provide a little more information about Michael Russell, the Purple Heart recipient who accepted tonight's proclamation. At his own expense, Mr. Russell had erected a sign at his restaurant that reserved a parking space for Purple Heart recipients. Mr. Russell had also offered to provide the parking signs, free of charge, to any other businesses that would like a sign.
