building a strong business image for the metropolitan area,
as well as attracting business prospects looking for a new
location.

to establish a draft of the mission and goals for the
organization. David Kimmerle, President and CEO of Sanderson
Ford, represented Glendale.

represent Glendale at the last minute and, on behalf of the
Council, he wanted to thank him for giving his time.
Mr. Kimmerle stated he felt this program was extremely
important and worthwhile and would recommend that Council
adopt it.
Mr. Larry Eickman, Chamber of Commerce, stated that the
Chamber also recommends that Council support the program.
This item will be placed on the July 25 Council agenda
for formal consideration.
1. ELIMINATION OF BOND REQUIREMENT IN CITY CODE FOR
PHOTOGRAPHERS
Ken Martin, Deputy City Manager, Management Resources
briefed the Council by saying, based on a request from a
citizen, staff is proposing to eliminate the bond requirement
for photographers.
Since 1963 it appears that photographers were required,
by Section 21-150 of the City Code, to obtain a surety bond
or make a deposit with the City in the amount of $1,000.
Staff feels that the potential for harm to the consumer is
almost non-existent and certainly no greater than with any
other purveyor of goods or services where bonds are not
required.
Council's general consensus was that they concurred with
staff's recommendation.

The Community Development Group has been a part ofthedesigneffortandispreparedtocompletefinalreviewofthedevelopmentplaniftheCityCouncilapprovestheconceptsasdepicted. Assistant City Manager Pedrow also reported that thedesignteamhascompletedthedevelopmentplanandisreadytoreviewitwithCouncilpriortopreparingconstructiondrawings. At this time the staff believes the directionsreceivedfromCouncilhavebeenfollowed. The building as
shown contains approximately 90,800 square feet of space and
the cost estimate is within budget. The building program was
prepared for the year 2008 given the estimates from MAG. Mr.
Pedrow stated that both the Downtown Development and the
Chamber of Commerce have reviewed the proposed concept and
concur.
Jim Manzelmann, The Benham Group, presented architect's
renderings and summarized the project.
Captain McCown stated that the new building is designed
to accommodate a total of 224.5 persons on move in. The
building was projected to accommodate a growth factor
consistent with the present staffing. That is, in areas
where personnel are required to deliver public services,
these areas were factored according to the conservative ratio
consistent with population growth through to the year 2008.
The projected staffing of the Public Safety building for the
year 2008 is 353 persons, which will allow for a growth
capacity of 36.4% in the Public Safety building and a 59.3%
in the Courts building.
He stated the time schedule is that bids will be put out
on July 21st for the demolition work. Demolition will start
on October 23rd and actual construction and groundbreaking
will take place on November 20th. Completion for the project
is scheduled for February, 1991.
Discussion ensued on the uses of the building in the
event the County reorganizes the court system and building
materials to be used on the project.
This item will be placed on a future Workshop agenda for
AW further review and update.
