ORDINANCE NO. 019-01 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA AMENDING GLENDALE CITY CODE, CHAPTER 24, ARTICLE XIII, BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 24-179 RELATING TO THE USE OF HANDHELD MOBILE DEVICES INCLUDING SEVERABILITY; ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND REPEALING CONFLICTING ORDINANCES. Presented by: Rick St. John, Police Chief City Council Meeting Minutes-January 8, 2019 Page 5 of 15 Ms. Rabin read the ordinance by title. Chief St. John said the use of cell phones while driving had been found to be a significant cause of motor vehicle accidents. At least 38 states and Washington, D.C. had enacted some form of restriction on cell phone use. Arizona law currently imposed minimal restrictions on cell phone usage and only prohibited use by school bus drivers, novice drivers, and drivers under the age of 18. In the absence of comprehensive state law, a growing number of cities, counties, and towns in Arizona had passed ordinances restricting cell phone use and texting by drivers: To date, the Cities of El Mirage, Phoenix, Sedona, Surprise, and Tucson, the Counties of Coconino and Pima, and the Town of Oro Valley had ordinances in place. Chief St. John said the proposed ordinance would prohibit handheld cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle. The violation would be a civil offense that would include a $250 fine. The violation would be considered a primary offense, which meant an officer could use the observed violation to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle. Appropriate exceptions would apply, including if the driver was communicating an emergency situation to emergency personnel. Chief St. John said staff was recommending Council adopt the proposed ordinance. Councilmember Malnar asked if a citizen band or ham radio operator was excluded. Chief St. John said no citation would be issued to radio operators. Brandon Lyons, Tucson resident, representing Look!Save a Life, spoke in support of the proposed ordinance. Councilmember Turner was pleased the City was joining with other jurisdictions to pass a model ordinance. He suggested working with the other jurisdictions to erect universal signage regarding distracted driving. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said driving was probably the most dangerous thing people did every day. She was very pleased that the proposed ordinance was finally at the finish line. A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff to adopt Ordinance No. 019-01.

Mr. Beard said the next four agenda items were all related and he would make one presentation covering all four items. The developer of the new Arrowhead BMW, located at 19250 North 101 Loop, had constructed a new public water line in order to meet the domestic water demands and fire protection requirements for the development. The developer, West Valley RE Investments, LLC, was granting the City an easement for the water line so that the City could maintain the new water line. Mr. Beard said in conjunction with the Arrowhead BMW project, West Valley RE Investments, LLC, obtained a remnant parcel of land from the Arizona Department of Transportation. The parcel of land contained a City sewer line. West Valley RE Investments, LLC, was granting the City an easement for the sewer line so that the City could maintain the existing sewer line. Mr. Beard said the City determined that a waterline extension was necessary to provide system connectivity across the State Route 101 (Loop 101) in the vicinity of Beardsley Road. On January 9, 2018, the City entered into a Development Agreement with the owners/developers in the area for the construction of the Loop 101 Waterline across the respective properties. The owners, West Valley RE Investments, LLC, and Beardsley Outer Loop, LLC were both granting the City an easement for the Loop 101 Waterline.

RESOLUTION NO. R19-05 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, SUPPORTING AND APPROVING WOOLF LOGISTICS CENTER, WESTERN TRANS LLC APPLICATION FOR GENERAL PURPOSE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE STATUS; AUTHORIZING STAFF TO TAKE ANY FUTURE ACTION NECESSARY INCLUDING EXECUTION OF APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS IN RELATION TO THIS FOREIGN TRADE ZONE MAGNET SITE WITHIN THE GREATER MARICOPA FOREIGN TRADE ZONE. Presented by: Brian Friedman, Economic Development Director Ms. Rabin read the resolution by title. Mr. Friedman said the Greater Maricopa FTZ Inc. (GMFTZ), applied to the Foreign Trade Zones Board of the United States Department of Commerce to approve and activate the formation and operation of a general-purpose foreign trade zone to be created in the western and northern Maricopa County, Arizona. As part of the applicant's application process to the federal government, taxing entitles were requested to provide letters of support for the FTZ designation. The annexation of the Woolf Logistics Center provided the opportunity for Council to consider authorizing a letter of support for the applicant's FTZ magnet site designation in Glendale. Mr. Friedman said the FTZ magnet site did provide for an effective 72 percent reduction in property taxes for qualified end users, from 18% to 5%. The economic impact of a commercial enterprise in an FTZ, even with the reduction, was positive for the City. The creation of the magnet FTZ designation on a portion of the Woolf Logistics Center site in GMFTZ was compatible with the City's economic development goals of expanding the employment base by providing development tools to support the attraction of new businesses in the manufacturing and industrial areas that might not otherwise locate within the City. The economic development tool was understood by corporations and worked to promote the investment and development within the proposed boundaries. A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff to adopt Resolution No. R19-05.

RESOLUTION NO. R19-06 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AMENDING THE INVESTMENT POLICY FOR THE CITY OF GLENDALE. Presented by: Vicki Rios, Director, Budget and Finance Ms. Rabin read the resolution by title. Ms. Rios said on June 12, 2018, City Council adopted Resolution No. R18-67 to amend the City's investment policy and established a new strategy that divided the investment portfolio into two funds: (1) Core and (2) Liquidity. Funds that were reserved and not expected to be used in the short-term were invested in the Core Portfolio. These funds were invested for a longer duration and were managed actively on a discretionary basis whereby securities were purchased and sold by the City's investment advisor, Public Trust Advisors, acting in a fiduciary capacity. Funds that were needed in the shorter-term were invested in the Liquidity Portfolio. The Liquidity Portfolio maturities matched the cash needs of the City and continued to be managed as a non-discretionary portfolio. Ms. Rios said during the implementation of the new strategy and with the creation of the two separate investment portfolios, the investment advisor identified additional proposed changes to the investment policy. In the proposed revised investment policy, credit quality requirements would apply at the time of purchase based upon the City's combined portfolio. The language was added to ensure compliance when the total invested balance fluctuated as the City withdrew funds to meet cash needs for payments of debt and other obligations. Proposed language to clarify the investment maturity for each portfolio was also added. Councilmember Clark asked if the City's short-term investments were impacted by stock market activity. Ms. Rios said the investments were not impacted because the City did not invest in stocks. It invested in government bonds and treasuries. A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren Tolmachoff to adopt Resolution No. R19-06.
