He noted that in February 2010, the City, Salt River Project (SRP) and the Town of Prescott Valley signed an agreement, in principle, which ended substantial litigation. He said they now had a designation of Assured Water Supply which included resources from the Big Chino Sub Basin as well as local renewable sources.

He said that crucial reservoirs were underway for storage of water to improve service to individual customers and a public safety enhancement if fire flows were needed.

He noted two examples: the Elks Opera House Foundation and the generous benefactors renovated and reopened the theater, in partnership with the City. He said the City had a tremendous asset that they could all be proud of. He noted that through the generosity of the Pulmonary Foundation and Williams Family Trust, the City was the recent recipient of a new building for Fire administration and training at 215 North McCormick.

Mr. Nietupski said this was the final action for the acceptance of two segments with Yavapai County and ADOT.

He said the ordinance in the packet had been amended to update and define the description for the highway. Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting — November 22, 2011 Page 5 Councilman Hanna asked if they did not take the deal they would get it anyway. Mr. Nietupski said that acceptance of right of way was a cooperative regional agreement to improve the regional transportation system. He said that the statutes allowed for ADOT to abandon rights of way without obtaining a community's approval. He noted that ADOT was working with the region to facilitate improvements that would benefit everyone.

Mr. Nietupski said the contract was originally awarded for a three year term and it was nearing expiration. He said that D & K agreed to extend the terms for an additional four months with the same terms while they conducted the procurement. Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting — November 22, 2011 Page 6 Councilman Blair asked where they were hauling the bio-solids. Mr. Nietupski said some went to Gray Wolf Landfill and some to an agricultural facility in the Verde Valley, which was on the approved Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) list.

Chief Kabbel noted that the mobile radios were necessary to ensure full compliance with the narrow banding requirements mandated by the Federal Communications Commission. He said that Council had approved the item for the 2012 Budget. Councilman Blair asked if the Federal government was offering any help in purchasing the radios. Chief Kabbel said the City had been putting in for Homeland Security grant money and they had received a lot of funding. Councilman Blair asked what else needed to be done after that purchase. Chief Kabbel said they would need to purchase some portable radios. Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting — November 22, 2011 Page 7 Councilman Hanna asked if there were any dead spots in the City. Chief Kabbel said it had been taken care of through the radio project and would be finished up next year. COUNCILMAN HANNA MOVED TO APPROVE PURCHASE OF 45 EA.

Adoption of Resolution No. 4107-1217 — A resolution of the Mayor and Council of the City of Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona authorizing the City of Prescott to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), with the Northern Arizona Council of Governments (NACOG) — Economic Workforce Development, providing for the administration of the Voucher Transit Program for Calendar Year 2012, and authorizing the Mayor and staff to take any and all steps necessary to accomplish the above. Mr. Guice said the program was administered by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for elderly, disabled and low income persons. He noted that no new sources of funding had been established by the State for transit. He noted that it was anticipated that 2012 would be the last year of the voucher program. He said the total amount available was $85,087.45 which included the City's 25 percent cash match, which had been budgeted. Teri Drew, Northern Arizona Council of Governments, thanked Mr. Guice for perpetuating the funds over the past eleven years. She said that it had been a pilot project that was expected to end every year. She said the project was very important that year, especially due to the recession. She noted that she and the Mayor had visited businesses in the City and they were concerned with the lack of transit. She then offered a brief report on the voucher program. Councilwoman Suttles asked if she had any guarantee that the State would supply the funds for the 2012 budget. Ms. Drew said there were no guarantees, but she had great confidence that the funds would continue. Councilwoman Suttles asked what they would do with the people who used the vouchers when the vouchers no longer existed. Ms. Drew said there were some other rides and opportunities available. COUNCILWOMAN SUTTLES MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 4107-1217; SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN LAMERSON; PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting — November 22, 2011 Page 8 H. Adoption of Resolution No. 4109-1219 — A resolution of the Mayor and Council of the City of Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona repealing Resolution No. 4013-1043 sunsetting the Transportation Coordinating Committee.

COUNCILMAN LAMERSON MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 4109-1219; SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN SCAMARDO; PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Bill Bonnewitz, Prescott, asked if the Council thought they were smarter than a traffic engineer. He said that the committee gave recommendations and the Council chose to ignore those things. He said that the committee members had been disgruntled because of that. He asked what would happen to the traffic calming policy at that point. Mr. Nietupski said the policy would remain as it was. He said the City Traffic Engineer would be the contact for the public. Mr. Bonnewitz said that he had enjoyed working with everyone. Councilman Blair asked him if he had a problem with Rosser Street. Mr. Bonnewitz said it was 100 percent quieter, but he would have to wait and see about the speeds. I. Development (Impact) Fees: 1. Adoption of Ordinance No. 4812-1212 — An ordinance of the Mayor and Council of the City of Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona, amending the Prescott City Code by amending Chapter 14-12, Development Fees, thereof. Joe Brehm noted that as of January 1, 2012, municipalities would no longer be able to collect impact fees for public buildings or recreation. He said the ordinance requested compliance to State law, by that date. He said that the second item dealt with the resolution of a fund transfer. He noted that in fiscal year 2007 the Capital Improvement Fund loaned the Recreation Impact Fee Fund $595,000 to pay for a portion of the gymnasium at the Adult Center. Recreation impact fee revenue was pledged to repay the Capital Improvement Fund loan. He noted that since the Adult Center building was a public building, constructed with funds from the Capital Improvement Fund, it was recommended that the balance of the Public Building Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting — November 22, 2011 Page 9 Impact Fee Fund be used to repay the Capital Improvement Fund loan. Councilman Blair asked why the State would want to assert their authority on what a community could do to better serve its citizens by having impact fees to be able to have a funding mechanism to survive. Mr. Brehm said the main push for this came from Central Arizona Homebuilders (CAH). He said that it was a compromise between the municipalities and the home builders. Councilman Blair said that they will no longer hear that growth pays for growth. Mr. McConnell said there was a broad view which could be taken on this issue. He said that the ordinance was to do away with recreation and public building impact fees. He said that it was reflecting a sentiment among certain parties that, whereas streets, and utilities were necessary for new development, recreation and public buildings were not. He noted that communities were more than streets and utilities. The municipalities would have fewer tools as they went into the future, to be able to affirmatively respond to growth paying for growth. Councilman Blair noted that users' fees may be more appropriate to be able to provide maintenance. Mr. McConnell said it could lead to a division of the community. Some communities charged a cost of service depending on when someone moved there. Councilwoman Suttles asked if that was just the start with what the State was going to do. Mr. McConnell said they had been collecting fees, but the increases were frozen. He said they could only be used to defray the impacts of new growth. The City had a number of funds and they did interfund loans that the Council was aware of, at interest rate. Councilman Lamerson asked how much money was left in the Impact Fee Fund for parks and recreation. Mr. Brehm said that it was a deficit, as the revenue was pledged to go back to the Capital Improvement Fund. Mr. McConnell said there were separate impact fee funds for parks and recreation, there were two different funds. Councilman Lamerson said his question was specific to parks and recreation and how much money was left in the funds. He said that he heard that one was zero and asked about the other. Mr. Brehm said that as of June 2011, the Parks Impact Fee Fund had $1,470,726.00. Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting — November 22, 2011 Page 10 Councilman Lamerson asked if a park had been defined where it could be a gathering place. Mr. Kidd said it could be used for recreational purposes. Councilman Lamerson asked how the General Fund would be repaid if they did not do what they were suggesting. Mr. Kidd gave a history on impact fees. He noted that they were eliminating the collection of fees, but they could use the fees for the purposes that they were originally collected through 2020. Mayor Kuykendall asked if there was input from rural areas on the bill. Mr. Brehm said that their three elected representatives had the opportunity to be sure that rural interests were represented. Councilman Hanna said that it went before the Senate because builders were being pressed on so hard that no one wanted to build in Prescott. He said that Prescott was to provide basic services and basic services did not include recreation. Councilman Lamerson said that money was set aside for development of parks and recreation. He thought the General fund should be paid back and the City should use the money that was collected for recreation. Councilman Hanna agreed. Councilman Scamardo said his understanding was that the loan was not made from the General Fund. He said it was the Capital Improvement Fund which was separate from the General Fund. He said that fund loaned Parks and Recreation and the Building Fund enough money to complete the gymnasium. Over the years the City had collected Impact Fees and was in a position to repay that loan. Mr. Woodfill said that in an effort to clarify a complicated situation the loan was made from the Capital Improvement Fund in 2007 as the project proceeded beyond the resources available. Since that time the fund, through changes in accounting rules had been incorporated into the General Fund. He said the loan was from the General Fund to the Recreation Impact Fee Fund. The resolution was proposing to pay the balance off with monies in the Public Building Impact Fee Fund. Bill Kindig, Prescott, said he was not aware of that information until he picked up the material that day. He asked if there was any way that citizens who opposed growth not paying for growth could inform the State that they were opposing it. Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting — November 22, 2011 Page 11 Mr. Kidd said they would have to amend the legislation. He was at the City Attorneys Conference where one of the attorneys involved said it was a hammered out compromise between the Central Arizona Home Builders and the League of Cities and Towns. He said there was a gentleman's agreement that there would be no further action from the Home Builders in return for which the League agreed to the compromise legislation. Dr. Kindig asked if he was correct in interpreting that in the future, growth would not necessarily pay for growth. He asked how they could get that message out. Mr. Kidd said they had impact fees that were based on studies. He said that the studies indicated that a certain percentage of those fees were attributable to new growth. Dr. Kindig asked if the City would inform people that it would be a major change. Mr. McConnell said another provision of this legislation was that the City would be required to update or do new impact fee studies. Through that process that would provide an opportunity for ample public input. COUNCILWOMAN SUTTLES MOVED TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 4812-1212; SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HANNA; PASSED 5-1 WITH COUNCILMAN BLAIR CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTE. 2. Adoption of Resolution No. 4108-1218 — A resolution of the Mayor and Council of the City of Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona, adopting a Council Policy to require the Recreational Development Impact Fee Fund and Public Building Impact Fee Fund to reimburse and repay the Capital Improvement Fund for monies loaned from the Capital Improvement Fund to the Recreational Impact Fee Fund to pay for a portion of the gymnasium at the Adult Center building and authorizing the Mayor and staff to take any and all steps necessary to accomplish the above. Councilwoman Suttles asked if the impact fees for fire were being returned to the General Fund. Mr. Woodfill said no, the impact fees would stay in the funds that they were collected for. COUNCILMAN LAMERSON MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 4108-1218; SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HANNA; PASSED 5-1 WITH COUNCILWOMAN SUTTLES CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTE.

Councilman Lamerson said his life had been made a lot easier the past eight years because Councilwoman Suttles made sure that he got to where he had to go, if he could not drive, due to his multiple sclerosis. He then read the resolution and presented the plaque to Councilwoman Suttles. Councilwoman Suttles noted that she had served with four mayors and said the past eight years had been a pleasure. She said she was most proud of the completion of the parking garage, the purchase of the Big Chino Water Ranch, the Rodeo Grounds, the Regional Communications Center, the Central Garage, remodeling the Rowle P. Simmons Center, remodeling the Prescott Library and helping with Copper Basin and Iron Springs roads. She noted that the City employees had always been there for her and said they would be there for the new Council. D. ADMINISTER OATH OF OFFICE by Arizona Supreme Court Justice Robert M.

Councilman Blair also gave a check for $600.00 from himself and Councilman Lamerson to light a tree. Mr. Edelbrock noted that Hampton Funeral Homes, John Olsen and Rosie Romero contributed enough to light a tree as well. He said that Gillian Haley also joined as the fourth member of their fundraising team. He said they raised almost $3500 at their open house fundraising event. He noted that they rose over $7,000 for the year. Mr. Meredith said the project was fun and rewarding. He thanked Prescott Downtown Partnership, the Chamber of Commerce, City of Prescott, the County and everyone who helped out. He said it was hard to thank everyone. He mentioned a business man who wanted to remain anonymous who told him to put Gheral Brownlow's name on the contribution. VI.
