(Updated 6/5/20) Presented by: Lisette Camacho, Director, Budget and Finance Ms. Bower read the resolution by title. Ms. Camacho said the proposed resolution ordered and called an election to be held on November 3, 2020, for additional general obligation bond voter authorization. She said in response to Council feedback at the earlier workshop, the ballot language had been changed on the Landfill and Parks and Recreation questions. The principal amounts did not change for City Council Meeting Minutes - June 9, 2020 Page 11 of 15 either question. Ms. Camacho said the first paragraph of the Landfill question now read: Shall the City of Glendale, Arizona (the "City"), be authorized to incur indebtedness in the total principal amount of not to exceed $9,900,000 by the issuance and sale of bonds of the City for the purpose of providing funds for landfill projects, including, but not limited to the following: • planning, acquiring, designing, constructing, extending and improving landfill facilities; and • improving and extending the Landfill; She said wording regarding the north cell was not included because it was not a legally defined term and there were no boundaries. Ms. Camacho said the first paragraph of the Parks & Recreation question now read: Shall the City of Glendale, Arizona (the "City"), be authorized to incur indebtedness in the total principal amount of not to exceed $87,200,000 by the issuance and sale of bonds of the City for the purpose of providing funds for parks and recreation projects, including, but not limited to the following: • planning, constructing, improving, renovating and remodeling existing parks and recreation facilities within existing City park boundaries; and • furnishing and equipping existing parks and recreation facilities within the City, including lighting, irrigation, structures and restrooms; She said the line "appurtenances and land therefor by purchase or any other method of acquisition" had been removed. Councilmember Clark said there could be opportunities in the future to purchase land around existing parks for parking. She did not want to remove the ability to acquire additional land for parking purposes. She suggested wording such as "land that may be required for additional parking." Councilmember Hugh agreed with Councilmember Clark. Mayor Weiers did not want to limit it to parking. Vice Mayor Malnar said the earlier discussion had made it clear that the bond money would be used to fix and improve existing parks. If a park needed more parking, perhaps a piece of the park could be used for that purpose. The money was to upgrade and improve parks. Parking should be within the park boundaries. He did not support buying additional land and did not believe there would be land available for purchase but if a piece of land did become available, staff could find other funding. Councilmember Tolmachoff agreed with Vice Mayor Malnar. She did not believe the funding would go very far. $46 million was earmarked for Heroes Park. It had to be passed by the voters and it had to be clear that the purpose was to improve existing parks. Councilmember Aldama agreed with Vice Mayor Malnar and Councilmember Tolmachoff. Councilmember Turner said the key recommendation from the Bond Committee was that the funding would be for existing parks. There was other authorized bonding that could be used that was not limited to existing parks. Facilities that were planned but not yet built would be eligible for the funding. He supported the language as it was presented. City Council Meeting Minutes - June 9, 2020 Page 12 of 15 Ms. Camacho said "parking" would be removed from the title of the Streets question. A motion was made by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff, seconded by Councilmember Ian Hugh to adopt Resolution No. R20-69 with the displayed amendments. Councilmember Turner thanked the members of the Bond Committee and staff. He said the Committee had provided excellent recommendations. Vice Mayor Malnar said the entire Council had made it clear that as the bonds were sold and previous bonds were paid off, the proposed bonds would not raise property tax. The vote on the motion was: AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ray Malnar Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed NEW BUSINESS 28.
