ORDINANCE NO..018-48 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE ABANDONMENT OF ALLEY RIGHT-OF-WAY ON THE NORTH AND WEST BOUNDARY OF 4388 WEST BERRIDGE LANE AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE. Presented By: David D. Beard, P.E., City Engineer Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. Beard said the owner of the property, Prayer Assembly Church of God in Christ, Inc., at 4388 West Berridge Lane, was requesting the City to abandon an existing 20-foot wide public right-of-way consisting of approximately 16,480 square feet. The right-of-way was dedicated in 1957 for an alley that was never constructed. A portion of the subject right-of-way bisected two parcels of land currently owned by the church. Abandoning the right-of-way would allow the church to combine the parcels creating a more developable parcel of land. Mr. Beard said there were several existing utility lines in the right-of-way, including a City sewer line. Accordingly, a public utility easement (PUE)was being retained over the area to be abandoned. There were no objections to the abandonment of the alley right-of-way from the public utility companies or from City departments as long as a PUE was retained. Staff recommended abandonment. There would be no impact on City departments and no costs would be incurred by the City.

AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Bart Turner Passed COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS Councilmember Aldama supported all merchants in the Ocotillo District. Council did not want City events to go away but had a fiduciary responsibility to be good stewards of the City's money and that was what Council was doing. He was extremely proud of the City's merchants that were speaking on behalf of themselves, other business owners and neighbors. Councilmember Aldama noted that he was not in favor of stopping City events and that was not what was on the table. There were some improvements that needed to be made to the events and he was in favor of making the improvements. He was currently not infavor of reducing the number of event days and wanted to continue to study that issue. He encouraged everyone to stay involved. City Council Meeting Minutes-June 26,2018 Page 21 of 23 Councilmember Aldama thanked staff, from the City Manager to the custodians,for the past fiscal year.. With their assistance and direction, it made it much easier for him to reach out to his constituents. His office and staff had reached hundreds and hundreds of residents, resolving issues and,being responsive. Councilmember Aldama said because of everyone on staff guiding Council through the budget process, it allowed Council to approve a budget that brought services to the community. He looked,forward to working with staff on the next fiscal year. Councilmember Clark said the most momentous event in 20 years would occur the following morning and asked Council to be there. For the first time in many years, the City would break ground on a new branch library, with the possibility of expansion in the future. The residents of her district were pleased to know that after 20 years they were finally getting the promised library in the Yucca District in western Glendale. Councilmember Clark thanked Council from the bottom of her heart for fulfilling the pledge for a new library for the residents of Glendale and the momentous occasion that would occur the following miming. Councilmember Malnar said there had been a lot of interesting questions about the move of the Thunderbird School of Management from Glendale to downtown Phoenix. On June 29th, he had hosted the television program, "In Your Neighborhood"that featured interviews with many of the staff and members of the School of Management. The show provided answers to many of the questions being asked. He wished everyone a great summer. Councilmember Turner thanked the Budget staff for its work during the budget process. He said the Budget and Finance Department did great work and responded quickly to Council's questions and suggestions and he appreciated that. Councilmember Turner said the Fourth of July weekend was coming up which meant fireworks. The State Legislature had made fireworks available and would not let cities do a thing about it. He suggested residents check the City's website: www.glendaleaz.com for information on fireworks regulations and what was legal and what to do if they were being bothered by fireworks. He also advised everyone to keep dogs indoors because it was a"high dog runaway"weekend. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff reminded Councilmember Clark that the previous Yucca District Councilmember had asked for a book ATM and Council had said no because it wanted to deliver on the promise that was made. She was happy that shovels would be in the ground and by next year there would be a library at Heroes Regional Park. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said there were two places in Glendale that would have fantastic fireworks displays: Westgate and Dream City Church at the Loop 101 &75th Avenue. It was the first year the church was hosting fireworks at its Glendale location. There would be family fun during the day and fireworks at night. She said Glendale was fortunate to have two professional fireworks shows. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff reminded everyone to keep pets inside and to be safe when using fireworks. She wished everyone a happy Fourth of July. Mayor Weiers said when he first became Mayor, one of the biggest complaints from citizens was that the City had cancelled its fireworks display which used to be held at Glendale Community College. At that time, the City was basically about broke and could not afford to pay for the display. He talked with the management at Westgate and convinced them that a fireworks display would be a good thing for Westgate. This year, marked the sixth year for the Westgate fireworks show. Mayor Weiers said Westgate had recently been purchased by Bob Parsons: Mr. Parsons had been advertising on all the major networks to come to Glendale for a"free"fireworks show. Mayor Weiers was amazed that just six years ago the City did not have a fireworks display anywhere and was basically just City Council Meeting Minutes-June 26,2018 Page 22 of 23 about bankrupt and now it has somebody with an incredibly impressive history that has bought a second-to-none entertainment center. There was no doubt in his mind that what was being done with the Fourth of July fireworks display was an indication of how they were going to make Glendale even better than it was now. Mayor Weiers believed that Glendale was the epicenter of the new growth in the Valley and everyone would start to witness that. The things that Council and staff had done such as making the Cardinals' stadium more accessible with the improved parking and the pedestrian tunnel and bridge to improve the fan experience, putting in 95th Avenue and the addition of Topgolf. He said it was just a small amount of what was going to be happening very soon. If a person did not take a tremendous amount of pride in what was happening, then they were not paying attention. There were a lot of great things happening. Mayor Weiers said tonight Council did something that was probably the first in the Valley by offering contracts to three of its top officials—the City Manager, Attorney and Clerk. Council was so confident in their abilities that it wanted them to stay long term. Cities did not typically do that. Council gave them all three-year contracts and he was very, very proud of the all three of them and really appreciated them. Council voted unanimously to approve the contracts. It made him extremely proud to be the Mayor of the City of Glendale. Mayor Weiers invited everyone to help celebrate the groundbreaking for the new library at Heroes Park. He asked what time it started. Councilmember Clark said the event would begin at 8:00 a.m. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Weiers adjourned the meeting at 7:35 p.m. I hereby certify that the foregoing minutes are a true and correct copy of the minutes of the meeting of the Glendale City Council of Glendale, Arizona, held on the 26th day of June, 2018. I further certify that the meeting was duly called and held and that a quorum was present. Dated this 14th day of August, 2018. • or; , , K.
