DATE: August 15, 2018
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of a construction services contract with Salt River Project in the amount not to exceed $69,603 for street light construction and installation, SRP Work Order T3021028, For CIP No. A1403 Power Road - Ocotillo Road to Brooks Farm improvements and any necessary budget adjustments.
Relevant Council Goal(s):
Superior Infrastructure - Capital Improvement Program
Proposed Motion: Move to approve a construction services contract with Salt River Project in the amount not to exceed $69,603 for street light construction and installation, SRP Work Order T3021028, For CIP No. A1403 Power Road - Ocotillo Road to Brooks Farm improvements and any necessary budget adjustments.
Discussion:
Packet Pg. 19 6.E
The amount not to exceed $69,603 includes a 10% contingency for any unanticipated additional services.
The proposed improvements for Power Road from Ocotillo Road to Brooks Farm Road include street lights. Salt River Project (SRP) was previously contracted to design the street light system for the project. Now, SRP is being contracted to construct the proposed street light system in accordance with the design previously prepared.
The SRP construction work will include installing wire in the customer provided conduit, pull boxes and foundation tubes; installing light poles, fixture arms and luminaries; and energizing the constructed system. Town CIP staff has worked closely with SRP to coordinate the design and construction work.
Construction is anticipated to begin in November to meet the proposed construction schedule. Hunter Contracting Company, the Town’s general contractor, will install the conduits, pull boxes and foundation tubes that SRP will utilize to complete the work
Fiscal Impact: The total not to exceed of $69,603 includes the proposal amount from SRP of $63,276, plus an additional $6,327 (10%) for possible unanticipated, additional services. Budget for project A1403 will require a FY18-19 budget adjustment from Contingency totaling $69,603 to the Drainage & Transportation fund in order to award this contract.
Alternatives: Council could choose to reject this contract and not construct the street lights at this time or not construct street lights at all. Council also could direct staff to re-design the project for a different level of lighting. A delay will increase the project cost in the future.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL THROUGH: JOHN KROSS, TOWN MANAGER, ICMA-CM FROM: PAUL GARDNER, UTILITIES DIRECTOR RE: Consideration and possible approval of a First Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement among the Arizona municipal corporations of Queen Creek, Gilbert, and Mesa concerning the construction and operation of the Greenfield Water Reclamation Plant. DATE: August 15, 2018
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of a First Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement among the Arizona municipal corporations of Queen Creek, Gilbert, and Mesa concerning the construction and operation of the Greenfield Water Reclamation Plant.
Relevant Council Goal(s):
Secure Future: KRA Environment
Proposed Motion: Move to approve a First Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement among the Arizona municipal corporations of Queen Creek, Gilbert, and Mesa concerning the construction and operation of the Greenfield Water Reclamation Plant.
Discussion: GWRP BACKGROUND AND HISTORY: The Greenfield Water Reclamation Plant (GWRP) is a joint facility and partnership between the Town of Queen Creek, City of Mesa, and Town of Gilbert, with the City of Mesa serving as Lead Agent. The plant is currently in its third planned expansion (Phase III), for which construction began in late 2017 and is anticipated to be complete
Packet Pg. 24 6.F by late 2020. Phase III improvements will expand upon the existing 16 million gallons per day (MGD) capacity by adding an additional 14 MGD for an end total of 30 MGD of treatment capacity. The phase III expansion will increase Mesa’s current capacity of 4 MGD to 14 MGD. Likewise, the Town of Gilbert will increase capacity from 8 MGD to 12 MGD. The Town of Queen Creek is not adding to our existing 4 MGD of capacity with this expansion, however the Town is participating in a few build-out related improvements that were identified by the parties as items that are reasonable to construct with the Phase III expansion at a significant cost savings to constructing them at a later date. The Town is participating in rehabilitation and repair ( R & R) projects that have been deferred in years past. Deferment of R&R projects to the time of the expansion project has allowed the parties to take advantage of economies of scale savings associated with having the expansion contractor onsite. Additionally, the Town is participating in projects that are required to improve the rating of our existing 4 MGD of capacity. Mesa and Gilbert are also proportionally participating in the build-out, repair, replacement, and re-rating project costs.
As a point of history, Gilbert and Mesa first entered into an IGA in September 1995, which authorized a preliminary study into the feasibility of constructing a joint use wastewater reclamation facility. On May 6, 1997, the City of Mesa and Town of Gilbert entered into a comprehensive IGA that provided for construction of an interim headworks and lift station capable of managing an average flow of 4.3 MGD, as well as the acquisition of the plant site along Greenfield Road, between Germann and Queen Creek Roads. This agreement was subsequently amended on July 25, 2000.
In the early 2000’s, the desire to convert the lift station into a water reclamation plant to accommodate community growth and anticipated future demand necessitated Phase II of the facility, which was constructed to manage treatment of 16 MGD of liquids and 24 MGD of solids. The accompanying IGA outlined these capacities, and added the Town of Queen Creek -- formerly a customer of Mesa - as a party to the agreement. The amended and restated IGA for the construction and operation of the GWRP was signed by the parties on June 22, 2004, and recorded with Maricopa County on August 20, 2004.
CURRENT IGA STATUS AND PROPOSED AMENDMENT: On April 18, 2018 staff presented a revised and updated version of the IGA to Council for their approval. Approval was sought in April with the understanding that additional changes to the document would be needed, especially as it related to the use of the buffer areas around the plant for which a Letter of Intent has been signed. The assumption by all parties was that the changes would be of a minor nature and, as such, approval was sought to allow the Mayor to execute the document with minor
Packet Pg. 25 6.F changes.
Upon completion of the revisions, the parties have determined that it is in the best interest of all that changes be approved formally by the individual Councils. The attached is presented as a First Amendment to the April, 18 2018 approved IGA and includes as a summary the following changes:
· Rental Charge Equation - A correction to an error in the previously approved equation; · Buffer Area - Removal of the existing section 27 and addition of a new section 27, with attachments.
FUTURE IGAs: A fourth and possible final plant expansion is anticipated to be required in mid 2020s, but will be evaluated by the partners in the interim years following the Phase III improvements.
Council’s approval of this First Amendment is contingent upon Mesa and Gilbert’s approval of this amendment. Gilbert’s Council is scheduled to review and approve on August 16th and Mesa’s Council is scheduled to review and approve on August 20th.
Fiscal Impact: There are no direct costs related to this amendment. The amendment to the buffer area will allow the Town to construct or share in the construction of storage facilities within the buffer area. The need for storage facilities and related infrastructure are being considered in the Town Water Resources Master Plan.
The total O&M budget for wastewater services at GWRP for all parties is $3,336,950 in FY18 and $3,366,950 FY19. The total Phase III project cost is $205,870,875, with Queen Creek’s overall proportional share being $15,381,985. Included in the total project cost is Queen Creek’s proportate share for expenses associated with design, construction administration and inspection, and other related items, is estimated to be $2,797,748 - out of the total $15,381,985. The total project cost is budgeted in two projects WW058 ($1,753,279) and WWT06 ($13,628,706).
Packet Pg. 26 6.F
Alternatives: Town Council can choose not to approve this First Amendment to the April 2018 IGA as presented. If approval of the currently proposed amendment language is not granted at this time, Town staff will work to identify Council concerns and if necessary develop revised language that is agreeable to both the Council and the other parties.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL THROUGH: JOHN KROSS, TOWN MANAGER, ICMA-CM FROM: MARNIE SCHUBERT, COMMUNICATIONS, MARKETING, RECREATION DIRECTOR AND ADAM ROBINSON, RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT RE: Consideration and possible approval of lake regulations. DATE: August 15, 2018
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of lake regulations for the Town. Relevant Council Goal(s): Effective Government Secure Future: Environment Proposed Motion: Motion to approve the drafted Lake Regulations.. Discussion: Mansel Carter Oasis Park currently under construction in Queen Creek will include the Town’s first municipal lake. During the May 22 meeting, PRAC discussed the impacts and uses of the lake at Mansel Park. PRAC determined that the primary purpose of the lake at Mansel Park is fishing, as the majority of resident inquiries and excitement for the lake stem around fishing. In addition, the lake will not have the infrastructure required for boating, paddle boards, kayaks and other flotation devices on opening day. PRAC advised staff to draft lake regulations dedicating the lake for fishing use and restricting all types of boating, swimming and other uses. The drafted lake regulations were approved by PRAC at their June 12 meeting. PRAC also asked staff to report back to them after a year about lake usage and public inquiries for lake uses. With Council approval, the 5-acre lake will be part the of the Arizona Game & Fish Community Fishing Program allowing it to be stocked regularly. The Community Fishing Program Guidebook provides general information on program lakes, including if swimming and boating are permitted. The majority of 4-6 acre lakes, similar in size to the lake at Mansel Park, do not permit either use. Boating, swimming and remote controlled (RC) boats negatively impact fishing and can cause conflicts of use. In
Packet Pg. 28 6.G addition, canoes and paddle boards require additional operational space, such as a place to dock or enter the lake. The lake at Mansel Park is not being constructed with this type of operational equipment. Fiscal Impact: Some potential activities, such as paddle boats and kayaks, can be operated via partnership/contract with a vendor with a shared-revenue agreement. Alternatives: -Town Council could choose to not recommend lake regulations for the Town. -Town Council could provide PRAC and staff suggestions of additional lake regulations to research and bring back to a future meeting.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL THROUGH: JOHN KROSS, TOWN MANAGER, ICMA-CM FROM: MARNIE SCHUBERT, COMMUNICATIONS, MARKETING, RECREATION DIRECTOR AND ADAM ROBINSON, RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT RE: Consideration and possible approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement in an amount not to exceed $7,347 annually for five years, with Arizona Game & Fish for participation in the Community Fishing Program at Mansel Carter Oasis Park, including necessary budget adjustments. DATE: August 15, 2018
Recommendation: Staff’s recommendation is to approve a five year Intergovernmental Agreement with Arizona Game & Fish for participation in the Community Fishing Program at Mansel Carter Oasis Park, in an amount not to exceed $7,347 annually. Relevant Council Goal(s): Effective Government, Secure Future: Environment, and Quality Lifestyle Proposed Motion: Move to approve a five year Intergovernmental Agreement with Arizona Game & Fish for participation in the Community Fishing Program at Mansel Carter Oasis Park, in an amount not to exceed $7,347 annually, including necessary budget adjustments. Discussion: The nationally acclaimed Arizona Community Fishing Program is a significant contributor to quality of life for urban as well as rural residents. Fishing is a wholesome activity well suited for families and anglers of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
The program is a partnership between the Arizona Game & Fish Department and 20 cities across the state, including the cities and towns of Avondale, Casa Grande, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Mesa, Payson, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Somerton, and Surprise. Community Fishing waters are located in 41 city park lakes that are funded, managed and maintained by the cities for public use and enjoyment. The expansion of the Community Fishing Program to include more locations is a testament to the
Packet Pg. 33 6.H
Department’s commitment to “bring fish to the people.” The benefits of joining the Community Fishing Program include regular fish stocking, periodic lake assessment reports, on-site Fishing Information Station(s), periodic angler surveys, marketing, and various support and technical assistance for lake and fishery management. AZ Game & Fish helped the Town design, build and install suitable fish habitats in the lake at Mansel Park in March 2018. The fish habitats will provide adequate cover from predators and spawning habitats. Funding support for the Community Fishing Program is based on a user play, user pay model. The program is financed by the sale of fishing licenses, Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) Program (federal) funds, and annual fees collected from the city parks and recreation departments. SFR funds originate from federal taxes that are collected every times an angler purchases fishing equipment or merchandise. These funds are allocated back to the states to spend on sport fishing programs and fish stockings. Upon joining the program the AZ Game & Fish Department will provide routine stockings of fish at the Mansel Carter Oasis Park Lake for anglers. The Mansel Park Lake will fall under the Traditional Stocking Strategy including: ● Catchable rainbow trout approximately every two weeks from mid-November to mid-March. ● Catchable channel catfish approximately every two weeks from mid-March to June and mid-September to mid-November. ● Sunfish (usually bluegill or redear) and largemouth bass at least once annually. ● Other approved fish species may be stocked as necessary to: 1) establish a resident fish population, 2) augment existing fish populations, 3) maintain a balanced fishery, 4) improve angler success rates, or 5) provide feature species for anglers. Stockings in Community Fishing Program waters will occur randomly Monday through Saturday. This schedule will only change if fish delivery problems occur or conditions at an individual lake are unsuitable for stocking. Due to extreme heat conditions every summer, there are no fish stockings to Community lakes and ponds between June 25 and September 15. The users of the lake at Mansel Park will be required to follow the AZ Game & Fish Community Fishing Program regulations including: ● All persons 10 years and older, while fishing any public fishing water in Arizona, must have a current Arizona fishing or combination hunt and fishing license.

Two more waters were added to the program in 2017: Show Low Creek in Show Low and Greenfield Park in Mesa. Show Low Creek is our first creek added to the program. Several other communities in Arizona are planning and/or designing new lakes including: • PEORIA – New park and fishing lake to be constructed near North Lake Pleasant Road and West Dixileta Drive. • GLENDALE – New fishing lake is being planned for Heroes Regional Park at W Bethany Home Rd and 83rd Avenue. • AVONDALE – New fishing lake is being planned for Festival Fields Park at Lower Buckeye Road and South Litchfield Road. • QUEEN CREEK – New park and fishing lake to be constructed near East Appleby Road and 196th Street. • GILBERT – Two new waters are proposed; One near E Queen Creek Road and South Higley Road, and another near South Power Road and East Pecos Road. • THATCHER – New fishing lake to be constructed near South Reay Lane and West 8th Street. • HOLBROOK – New fishing lake proposed near West Buffalo Street and 13th Avenue. • MAMMOTH – New fishing lake proposed near East Copper Creek Road and South Main Street. New Stocking Strategy Planned for 2018 We’ve developed a new stocking strategy for 2018 for our “Expansion Waters”. Previ- ously our stocking strategy involved stocking 6 times per year. We are doubling the trout stocking to four per year and adding another catfish stocking (See Page 6 for more details). This means a total of 9 stockings per year – a 50% increase! We also intend to make largemouth bass more available in certain waters (to be determined). As we add more waters in higher elevations, we will continue to stock catfish through the summer months (June-August). These changes mean more waters, more choices, and more fun!

Once you catch a fish and do not release it, it now counts toward your daily bag limit. This includes any fish you catch and give away to someone else. Daily bag limits are for 24-hour periods (midnight to midnight). Once your daily limit is reached, you must stop fishing for that species. Method of Take, Use of Bait Angling: • All fishing and combo licenses allow the angler to fish with two poles or lines simultaneously. In no case are more than two poles allowed to be used at the same time. • Anglers may have no more than two hooks, or one artificial lure with more than one hook attached, or two artificial flies or lures, attached to the same line or pole. • No snagging or use of seine nets, cast nets or dip nets to capture sport fish.

About the Community Fishing Program
The nationally acclaimed Arizona Community Fishing Program is a sig- nificant contributor to quality of life for urban as well as rural residents. Fishing is a wholesome activity well suited for families and anglers of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Spending time in the outdoors at a beautiful park setting is relaxing and enjoyable, and catching a tasty fish is a great benefit. Partnerships with Parks There would be no Community Fishing Program without the support and participation of will- ing partners across the state. Community Fishing waters are all located in city park lakes that are funded, managed and maintained by the cities for public use and enjoyment. Partners pay annual fees to the Department to help offset the costs associated with the stocking of fish and installation of signage. Growth and What’s Next? The expansion of the Community Fishing Program to include more locations is a testament to the Department’s commitment to “bring fish to the people.” The Community Fishing Program is positioned to expand even more in the years ahead. As the economy recovers and city budgets grow, new park construction projects will follow that include new lakes for fishing.Our Goal is become established in at least 36 Arizona Communities by 2025. In 2016 we partnered with our first private entity, the Ash Fork Development Association and we hope to form more public-private partnerships in the future. Funding and SFR partnership Funding support for the Community Fishing Program is based on a user play, user pay model. The program is financed by the sale of fishing licenses, Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) Program (federal) funds, and annual fees collected from the city parks and recre- ation departments. SFR funds originate from federal taxes that are collected every time an angler purchases fishing equipment or merchandise. These funds are allocated back to the states to spend on sport fishing programs and fish stocking.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department receives no money from Arizona’s general fund. Your purchase of a license or tag contributes to the department’s ability to manage wildlife. Attachment: AZGF Community Fishing Program Guidebook (AZGF IGA)

Proper Release Methods Fish are a valuable resource, and fishing for them is a fun and exciting recreational experience. Fresh fish are also a great source of nutrition. Keeping only what you plan to eat and releasing the rest is good stewardship of this precious resource. By limiting your harvest, and practicing good catch-and-release techniques, you can help preserve the fishery and ensure that fish remain for another day. Fish can easily die when subjected to excessive handling and poor release techniques. The fish may swim away at first, but likely dies in a matter of minutes or days if it is left out of the water too long, covered in dirt, squeezed too hard, or injured from forced removal of a deeply impaled hook. The following catch-and-release tips will greatly improve the fish’s chance of survival.

Green Light = Go Fish!
In September 2017 the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) and Arizona Depart- ment of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) launched an initiative to highlight a “green light” list of fish species from specific waters that may be consumed without limits to portion size and frequency. AZGFD and ADEQ have been testing a wide variety of fish throughout the state for mercury, the most common contaminant found in edible fish fillets nationwide. This testing has identified fish to avoid (red light) and fish that can be eaten in limited quantities (orange light). Anglers have been routinely informed about consumption advisories, but never which fish species at which locations can be caught, eaten and enjoyed without limiting portions. These “Green Light Fisheries” include ALL trout and channel catfish supplied for the Com- munity Fishing Program waters. See all the green light waters on the ADEQ interactive e-Map, including other waters and fish species classified as “Green Light Fisheries.” While this is great news for anglers, it also reaffirms that fresh fish from our state’s waters can be a part of a healthy diet. Fish contain high-quality protein and other essential nutrients, are low in saturated fat and contain omega-3 fatty acids. A well-balanced diet that includes a variety of fish can contribute to heart health and children’s proper growth and development.

If you witness an angler keeping more than the daily bag and possession limit, fishing without a license, fishing with more than two poles at the same time, or not complying with other fishing rules, contact the Operation Game Thief Hotline to report the violation. Reported violations are prioritized based on the quality of the information provided. Because the department has a limited number of wildlife officers statewide, it is not possible to have an immediate response to every call. That is why it is important that you be a good witness so that follow-up by an officer can be conducted.
Be a good witness: • Recognize what specific activities are violations. • Do not put yourself in danger or confront the violator. • Write down the date, time and specific park and lake location. • Write down a description of the person(s) (physical and clothing). • If possible, get the vehicle description and license plate number. • Try to take pictures or video of the violation and violator. • Call or go online to report the violation as soon as possible.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL THROUGH: JOHN KROSS, TOWN MANAGER, ICMA-CM FROM: MARNIE SCHUBERT, COMMUNICATIONS, MARKETING, RECREATION DIRECTOR AND ADAM ROBINSON, RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT RE: Consideration and possible approval of Ordinance 675-18 amending Article 15-2 Public Park Regulations, Section 15-2-1 adoption by reference of the Town Code Chapter 15 Parks and Recreation (relating to fishing regulations). DATE: August 15, 2018
Recommendation: Staff’s recommendation is to approve of Ordinance 675-18 amending Article 15-2 Public Park Regulations, Section 15-2-1 adoption by reference of the Town Code Chapter 15 Parks and Recreation (relating to fishing regulations). Relevant Council Goal(s): Effective Government, Safe Community, and Secure Future: Environment Proposed Motion: Move to approve of Ordinance 675-18 amending Article 15-2 Public Park Regulations, Section 15-2-1 adoption by reference of the Town Code Chapter 15 Parks and Recreation (relating to fishing regulations). Discussion: Mansel Carter Oasis Park, currently under construction in Queen Creek, will include the Town’s first municipal lake. With Council approval, the 5-acre lake will be part the of the Arizona Game & Fish Community Fishing Program allowing it to be stocked regularly. As part of the Community Fishing Program, the Arizona Game & Fish rules and regulations will apply to the lake at Mansel Park. The addition of fishing language to Article 15-2 Public Park Regulations, an attachment to Ordinance 675-18, will allow the Town’s local law enforcement officers to legally enforce Arizona Game & Fish regulations, such as bag limits and licensing requirements, as they do for all other park rules. Arizona Game & Fish Department has enforcement officers who are responsible for
Packet Pg. 122 6.I patrolling the entire state system. As a partner, the Town can call Arizona Game and Fish officers for guidance or assistance if we have any issues requiring enforcement. Game and Fish officers will also respond if they happen to be located in the area at the time. In speaking with other local municipalities, many have opted to adopt similar language in their ordinance and codes to allow local law enforcement to enforce regulations when required. Staff does not anticipate the need for regular enforcement and MCSO’s approach is anticipated to be educational first prior to taking enforcement action, as with all park regulations. The current AZ Game & Fish Community Fishing Program regulations for licensing and bag limits are as follows: ● All persons 10 years and older, while fishing any public fishing water in Arizona, must have a current Arizona fishing or combination hunt and fishing license. ○ The annual cost of a youth (ages 10-17) fishing license is $5.00 ○ The annual cost of a Community Fishing license is $24.00 ○ Other licenses that are valid at Community Fishing Waters include: ■ general fishing, ■ combo hunt/fish. ■ short term combo hunt/fish, ■ blind, disabled and veteran complimentary licenses, ■ youth group two-day ○ License can be purchased at any one of 320 convenient sporting goods or retail dealers statewide, any Game & Fish office, or online at www.azgfd.gov
Packet Pg. 123 6.I
Alternatives: ● The Town Council could choose to not approve the addition of fishing language to the Public Park Regulations, removing the ability of our local law enforcement to enforce bag limits, licensing requirements, and other fishing regulations through Town Ordinance. ● The Town Council could ask staff to revise the fishing language addition to the Public Park Regulations.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL THROUGH: JOHN KROSS, TOWN MANAGER, ICMA-CM FROM: DOREEN COTT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR RE: Consideration and possible approval of the Special Event Liquor License for Messy Fest scheduled for September 15, 2018 at Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre. DATE: August 15, 2018
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Special Event Liquor License (Series 15) Messy Fest at Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre on September 15, 2018.
Relevant Council Goal(s):
QUALITY LIFESTYLE Queen Creek will leverage its strong image as a tight-knit, family friendly community to encourage more residents to participate in public events, attract new businesses and further establish our reputation as one of the best destinations in Arizona.
Proposed Motion: Move to approve the Special Event Liquor License (Series 15) for Messy Fest at Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre on September 15, 2018.
Discussion: Childhelp is applying for a Series 15 Special Event Liquor License from the State of Arizona that will allow them to receive 25% of all alcohol sales from the Messy Fest event produced by Levitate. Childhelp is a national nonprofit known for its efforts to help combat child abuse and is the largest organization dedicated to helping victims of child abuse and neglect as well as at-risk children. The Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC) Series 15 license is a temporary, non-transferable, on-sale retail privileges liquor license that allows a charitable, civic, fraternal, political or religious organization to sell and serve spirituous liquor for consumption only on the premises where the spirituous liquor is sold, and only for the period authorized on the license. The applicant for a special event license must request a special event application from the department and file the application with the
Packet Pg. 131 6.J governing body of the city or town, or Board of Supervisors of an unincorporated area of a county, where the special event is to take place, for approval or disapproval. If the application is approved by the local authority, and the event meets the requirements for granting the license, the director will issue a special event license to the qualifying organization. Qualifying organizations will be granted a special event license for no more than ten (10) days in a calendar year. Events must be held on consecutive days and at the same location or additional licenses will be required. The license is automatically terminated upon closing of the last day of the event or the expiration of the license, whichever occurs first. The qualified organization must receive at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross liquor sales revenues of the special event(s). This will be the third year Messy Fest has taken place in Queen Creek. In 2016 the event was held at Schnepf Farms and alcohol was available for purchase. In 2017, the event moved to HPEC, and there was no alcohol available. This year in response to requests from past attendees, the event promoter would like to sell beer and wine with mimosas and a breakfast beer (done in collaboration with Old Ellsworth Brewing Company) as the primary items. Messy Fest is a celebration of all things sloppy, messy and muddy and will include massive mud pits, multi-family tug-of-war, food fights, ice cream slip-and-slides, slime zones, and much, much more. An onsite rinse zone will give guests a chance to get clean in between events and activities, while food trucks and a special toddler mess- making zone will also be part of the festivities. The security plan has been reviewed and approved by MCSO. A minimum of four MCSO Deputies and four Maricopa Crime Prevention Posse will patrol the alcohol sales area. The alcohol sales area will be fenced during the event. Signs that state “no alcohol beyond this point” will be located at the entry/exit points of the event. Childhelp will be required to purchase their own liquor liability insurance and name the Town as additionally insured. Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the Town.
Alternatives: The Town Council could choose not to approve the Special Event License.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL THROUGH: JOHN KROSS, TOWN MANAGER, ICMA-CM FROM: SCOTT MCCARTY, FINANCE DIRECTOR AND TROY WHITE, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR RE: Consideration and possible approval of revisions to the Town’s Purchasing Policy to provide an option for a Delegation Resolution for capital improvement projects. DATE: August 15, 2018
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of revisions to the Town’s Purchasing Policy to provide an option for a Delegation Resolution for capital improvement projects. Relevant Council Goal(s):
Effective Government: Financial Management, Internal Services & Sustainability
Superior Infrastructure: Capital Improvement Program Proposed Motion: Move to approve revisions to the Town’s Purchasing Policy to provide an option for a Delegation Resolution for capital improvement projects. Discussion: In recent years, the Town has seen substantial growth in population, businesses, and traffic, which has created significant needs for infrastructure to support that growth. The Town Council recently approved a 10-year Transportation Master Plan of $195M that includes 41 separate projects. The Town also has more than 70 water and wastewater projects planned over the next ten years. Each capital improvement project requires negotiating several contracts including real estate acquisition, inspections services, surveying, design, construction, and other miscellaneous contracts. Each of these contracts requires formal approval from the Town before the contractor can begin working on the project. Given the large number of projects the Town has committed to complete in the next ten years, staff is proposing a
Packet Pg. 139 14.A streamlined contract approval process that will reduce project delivery time by three to four months. The Town’s Purchasing Policy currently requires all contracts and agreements of $25,000 or more to be approved by the Town Council. Each contract requires a written staff report and approximately two weeks of wait time before the item can be approved by the Town Council. Because a capital improvement project averages 19 separate contracts per project, the current contract approval process can add up to 38 weeks in wait time based on Town Council meeting dates. Although staff attempts to submit multiple contracts for a project together on a single meeting agenda, the current wait time for contract approval still adds many weeks to a project’s completion schedule. The proposed revisions to the Purchasing Policy will require only two council actions for each project. The first action will be to approve the design contract. This action will follow the existing process that the Town is currently using to approve design contracts. The second action will be to approve the total project budget and then delegate the authority to sign the remaining contracts for the project to the Town Manager and Department Directors using a Delegation Resolution. A Delegation Resolution affirms the project’s total authorized budget amount using the amount from the design engineer’s cost estimate. It then authorizes a Department Director to sign contracts and change orders for amounts up to $100,000, and authorizes the Town Manager to sign contracts and change orders for amounts of $100,000 or more. In no case can a contract or change order be signed by a Director or the Town Manager that would cause the project to exceed the total authorized budget amount. At the time staff requests a Delegation Resolution, the project’s design plans will be at least 60% complete, real estate needs will be known, and other scoping items such as surveying and inspections services will have been identified. Under a Delegation Resolution, certain circumstances will still require Town Council action: · Real estate that is not negotiated within 10% of the appraised amount. · The lowest construction bid comes in more than 10% above the engineer’s cost estimate. · A contract or change order causes the project to exceed the total authorized budget amount. While this new process changes who can sign contracts for a capital improvement project, it will not change any of the Town’s existing procurement requirements or methods. All contracts under a Delegation Resolution remain subject to the same procurement processes that Town staff currently follows, and all contracts will still require legal and budget review before they are signed. Additionally, a Delegation Resolution is per project, meaning the Town Council can choose whether to delegate signing authority on a project-by-project basis.
Packet Pg. 140 14.A
Finally, staff will provide the Town Council a project summary report at the completion of each project. The report will compare the project’s actual costs to the project budget, and it will list all of the contracts entered into under the Delegation Resolution. Given the large number of transportation and utility projects the Town is planning to complete in the next several years, staff believes it is important to streamline the contract approval process wherever possible. Delegation Authority will allow projects to proceed from start to finish without delays that would otherwise happen while waiting for a contract to be approved at a Town Council meeting. Fiscal Impact: The proposed changes to the Purchasing Policy will save many hours of staff and Town Council time writing and reviewing staff reports for capital improvement contracts. This will allow projects to be completed sooner. The policy changes will have no direct impact on the project budgets as those budgets are reviewed during the CIP budget adoption process and are reaffirmed in the Delegation Resolution. The projects will cost the same whether they receive a Delegation Resolution or not. Alternatives: Council could not approve the revisions to the Purchasing Policy and keep the current process with multiple items going to Council for each project and several weeks of contract wait time.

Appendix
Additional Provisions Relating to Compliance With Attachment O to OMB Circular A-102
The ABA Model Procurement Ordinance for Local Governments suggests a legislative basis for a modern, comprehensive, open, and competitive procurement system designed to promote efficiency, effectiveness, and fairness in public purchasing by small units of local government. As such, the Model Procurement Ordinance is seen as fulfilling the fundamental standards of good public purchasing which are required of governmental recipients by Attachment O (Procurement Standards) to OMB Circular A-102 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants-in-Aid to States and Local Governments from which it is derived, the ABA Model Procurement Ordinance for Local Governments does not suggest “model” coverage for those additional requirements of Attachment O that implements various socioeconomic and other federal public policy goals. This Appendix contains additional provisions covering these “other” requirements of the current addition of Attachment O.
Several observations should be noted concerning the provisions set forth in this Appendix. First, the text of these provisions represents only a paraphrasing of the Attachment O text. Second, the additional provisions have been numbered so as to suggest an appropriate placement within the structure of the Model Procurement Ordinance. Third, these additional provisions have been drafted so as to make them applicable only if the procurement is being funded in whole or in part by assistance from a federal agency; if no federal assistance funds are involved, these additional provisions would be inapplicable. Finally, the additional provisions set forth in this Appendix have been included as a convenience for a small unit of local government that wants to be certain that its new procurement system addresses all of the current requirements of Attachment O. They do not constitute the recommendations of the American Bar Association, or any of its Sections or Committees.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL THROUGH: JOHN KROSS, TOWN MANAGER, ICMA-CM FROM: TROY WHITE, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR RE: Consideration and approval of Resolution 1229-18 recommending the preferred alternative for the SRP Southeast Power Link project for the 230kV power line along Crismon Road within the Town of Queen Creek, Maricopa County, State of Arizona, and further authorizing the Town Attorney to file the necessary “Notice of Intent to Become a Party” in the Hearing to be conducted by the Arizona Power Plant and Line Siting Committee, and authorizing staff to take action in furtherance of those recommendations. DATE: August 15, 2018
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council enact Resolution 1229-18 recommending the preferred alternative for the SRP Southeast Power Link project for the 230kV power line along Crismon Road and authorizing the Town to participate as a party and/or intervene in the Arizona Corporation Commission Line Siting approval process. Relevant Council Goal(s):
Superior Infrastructure - Capital Improvement Program Proposed Motion: Motion to approve Resolution 1229-18 recommending the preferred alternative for the SRP Southeast Power Link project for the 230kV power line along Crismon Road within the Town of Queen Creek, Maricopa County, State of Arizona, and further authorizing the Town Attorney to file the necessary “Notice of Intent to Become a Party” in the hearing to be conducted by the Power Plant and Line Siting Committee relating to that proposed power line, and authorizing staff to take action in furtherance of those recommendations. Discussion: SRP is in the process of siting a new 230kV power line called the Southeast Power Link project. The proposed alignment encroaches the northern Town limits and the North
Packet Pg. 181 14.B
Specific Area Plan adopted by the Town Council on December 16, 2015. The alternatives provided by SRP impact some of the residential, commercial, and industrial land uses if certain alignments are chosen over others. Based on feedback from Town residents, including staff review relative to implications on private property and the North Specific Area Plan (SAP) which shows an undeveloped contiguous industrial parcel ideal for one large user, or a campus of multiple users within the proposed area, staff recommends the alternative along Crismon Road. The previously considered alternative alignment along Merrill Road severs the large +/- 240 acre contiguous parcel in the middle, and therefore has a greater impact on proposed development of real property within the Town. Additionally, there is already an existing 69kV line located along Crismon Road and the Town staff recommends placing the 230kV line with the 69kV underbuilt on those same poles (if possible), or poles along a common alignment, as it would be less obtrusive and more efficient than two separate lines of poles on two different alignments. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact to recommending the preferred alignment along Crismon Road. There is a fiscal impact to intervening as a Party in the hearings before the Power Plant and Line Siting Committee for the proposed line siting. Those fees for services would be covered under the existing legal services contract and are estimated not to exceed $20,000. Alternatives: The Town Council could decide not to recommend a preferred alignment, urge SRP to consider an alternative alignment not previously considered, or not intervene with the Power Plant and Line Siting Committee. After consideration of these alternatives, Staff believes that the Town can best serve its residents by intervening in the line siting hearings and actively urging the Committee to adopt the preferred Crismon Road alignment.

RESOLUTION 1229-18
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF QUEEN CREEK, ARIZONA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE FOR THE SRP SOUTHEAST POWER LINK PROJECT FOR THE 230KV POWER LINE ALONG CRISMON ROAD WITHIN THE TOWN LIMITS, AUTHORIZING THE TOWN ATTORNEY TO FILE THE NECESSARY “NOTICE OF INTENT TO BECOME A PARTY” IN THE HEARING TO BE CONDUCTED BY THE ARIZONA POWER PLANT AND LINE SITING COMMITTEE RELATING TO THAT PROPOSED POWER LINE, AND AUTHORIZING STAFF TO TAKE ACTION IN FURTHERANCE OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
Whereas, SRP has stated its desire to construct a new 230kV transmission line to address the energy needs of the Elliot Road Technology Corridor, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and north Queen Creek; and,
Whereas, the Town desires to minimize the adverse impacts on existing and planned private development and public facilities resulting from the location of the new transmission line, and the subsequent construction of anticipated new transmission and distribution lines through developed portions of the community; and,
Whereas, the Town desires to minimize the potential adverse impact that power line may have on existing and proposed projects within the Town, in that such transmission lines may threaten economic growth within the Town, as well as impacting property values of land located along a main transportation corridor within the Town; and,
Whereas, the Town wishes to ensure that a disproportionate impact of the power line is not born by its citizens;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF QUEEN CREEK, ARIZONA, AS FOLLOWS:
Attachment: a. Reso 1229-18 (SRP Southwest Power Link) Section 1. Given the significant potential ramifications of the location of the proposed transmission line to the future growth and development of real property within the Town, the Mayor and Council hereby request that SRP include Town representatives in all aspects of the line siting process and give due consideration to the Town’s recommendations as part of that process;
Section 2. The Town urges SRP to afford due consideration to the concerns of Queen Creek property owners that may be affected by the proposed alignment(s).
Section 3. The Town urges that SRP support and recommend approval of the proposed Southeast Power Link 230Kv transmission line siting alternative that follows the Crismon Road Alignment in the southern reach of the proposed
Packet Pg. 183 14.B.a
Project, which is the alignment that the Town believes will cause the least disruption to development and economic growth within the Town;
Section 4. The Town further urges that, when constructed, the proposed 230kV transmission line be co-located on the same towers as those that serve as the support structures for the existing 69kV transmission line along the said preferred route; such co-location will help to minimize adverse impacts of multiple lines along a key transportation corridor within the Town limits.
Section 5. That the Mayor and Common Council of the Town of Queen Creek authorize the Town Attorney to file the necessary “Notice of Intent to Become a Party” with the Arizona Power Plant & Line Siting Committee on behalf of the Town of Queen Creek. The Town Attorney and Town Manager are authorized to appear and take any and all steps necessary to effectuate the policies and preferences set forth in this Resolution before the Committee and any related proceedings before the Arizona Corporation Commission.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL THROUGH: JOHN KROSS, TOWN MANAGER, ICMA-CM FROM: BRETT BURNINGHAM, PLANNING ADMINISTRATOR BRETT BURNINGHAM, INTERIM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR; CHRISTINE SHEEHY, PRINICPAL PLANNER; VICTOR MARTINEZ, CODE COMPLIANCE SUPERVISOR RE: Discussion and possible action on P18-0132 (Ordinance 673-18), a staff initiated text amendment to revise Article 10-5 Abandoned Vehicles, Chapter 10 of the Town Code and add a section on inoperable vehicles as nuisances. DATE: August 15, 2018
Proposed Motion: Move to approve P18-0132 (Ordinance 673-18), a text amendment to revise Article 10-5 Abandoned Vehicles, Chapter 10 of the Town Code and add a section on inoperable vehicles as nuisances. Relevant Council Goal(s):
Secure Future
Effective Government Summary: On July 18, 2018, the Town Council amended Chapter 10: Health and Sanitation of the Town Code to decriminalize code violations (if allowed by statute) and utilize a Civil Hearing Officer to hear complaints. Article 10-5: Abandoned Vehicles of Chapter 10, however, was continued for further discussion until August 15, 2018. Staff is proposing minor changes to Article 10-5 Abandoned Vehicles for consistency and adding Article 10-5-9: Inoperable Vehicles as Nuisance to address numerous complaints regarding inoperable vehicles on private property that are in view from a public street. The current Abandoned Vehicle sections of the Code only addresses vehicles that are abandoned in public streets. The abandoned vehicle violations in public streets are enforced by Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
Packet Pg. 186 14.C
Adding the proposed Article 10-5-9 Inoperable Vehicles to the Town Code would provide the Town with the authority to enforce inoperable vehicles on private property that are in view, which is consistent with neighboring jurisdictions such as the City of Mesa, Town of Gilbert, City of Goodyear, Town of Buckeye and City of Chandler. The proposed changes include: · adding a section for enforcement of inoperable vehicles as a nuisance;
· adding that violations for inoperable vehicles will be categorized a civil violation
(Enforcement process: 1) 14-day Courtesy Notice, 2) Notice of Violation that provides 14 days for compliance, 3) Civil Citation issued, which is heard by the Hearing Officer);
· adding a definition of inoperable vehicle to be consistent with most jurisdictions; and,
· changing Sheriff’s Department to Sheriff’s Office to be consistent with current terminology.
History: May 6, 2015 Town Council amended both the Town Code and Zoning Ordinance (TA15-008 and TA15-009) to expand the Civil Hearing Officer’s authority to hear complaints related to violations and issue penalties for violations of the Zoning Ordinance and Town Code as an alternative to processing complaints through the Gilbert Municipal Court. An RFQ process was initiated to hire a Civil Hearing Officer. Sept. 2, 2015 Town Council amended Chapter 9 Offenses of the Town Code (TA15-031) to: update the code, impose civil penalties to decriminalize sections of the code, streamline animal noise enforcement and bring sections of the code into compliance with State statutes (weapons and fireworks) among other modifications. Aug. 3, 2016 Town Council approved a contract with Ayers & Brown, P.C. in an amount up to $12,000 annually, on an as needed basis, for one (1) year with options to renew four (4) additional years for the services as the Town of Queen Creek’s Civil Hearing Officer. Nov. 16, 2016 Town Council amended Section 9-1-6 Noise of the Town Code (P16-0064) to decriminalize first offences for barking dog violations and provide clarification to the conditions that must be met for a Town Code Enforcement Officer or Law Enforcement to be the second complaining witness. July 18, 2018 Town Council approved amending Chapter 10: Health and
Packet Pg. 187 14.C
Sanitation, with the exception of Article 10-5: Abandoned Vehicles, which was continued to the August 15, 2018, Town Council Meeting. Discussion: On July 18, 2018, the Town Council amended Chapter 10: Health and Sanitation of the Town Code to decriminalize code violations (if allowed by statute) and utilize a Civil Hearing Officer to hear complaints. Article 10-5: Abandoned Vehicles of Chapter 10, however, was continued for further discussion until August 15, 2018. Staff is proposing minor changes to Article 10-5 Abandoned Vehicles for consistency and adding Article 10-5-9: Inoperable Vehicles as Nuisance to address numerous complaints regarding inoperable vehicles on private property that are in view from a public street. The current Abandoned Vehicle sections of the Code only addresses vehicles that are abandoned in public streets. The abandoned vehicle violations in public streets are enforced by Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Adding the proposed Article 10-5-9 Inoperable Vehicles to the Town Code would provide the Town with the authority to enforce inoperable vehicles on private property that are in public view, which is consistent with neighboring jurisdictions such as the City of Mesa, Town of Gilbert, City of Goodyear, Town of Buckeye and City of Chandler. A comparison table is provided in the Discussion Section below. Currently, the Code Compliance Division receives an average of two inoperable vehicles complaints a week from residents and HOA Managers. HOA’s have not been successful in enforcing inoperable vehicle violations because their means of enforcement are fines and property liens. Therefore, the HOA managers contact Code Compliance for a more a prompt resolution to resident complaints. Code Compliance staff has been referencing the adopted International Property Maintenance Code to issue the 14-day Courtesy Notices followed by the 14-day Notice of Violation to property owners for inoperable vehicles. Code Compliance staff, however, has no authority to issue citations using the International Property Maintenance Code because the Town has not adopted citation provisions. Therefore, if the standard Code Compliance procedure of issuing a 14-day Courtesy Notice followed by a second 14-day Notice of Violation, does not resolve the inoperable vehicle complaint, there is nothing further that Code Staff can do. So, the person that filed the complaint is notified that the Town has no authority to resolve the complaint. Three cases of inoperable/abandoned vehicle complaints were closed in the past twelve (12) months without resolution. Inoperable vehicle cases are taking as long as four months to close due to the lack of enforcement authority. In comparison, the average days to close a normal code compliance case is fourteen (14) days. A comparative analysis of the proposed Inoperable Vehicle regulations to those in other municipalities is outlined below:
