Next up I'd like to welcome down Jerry Ferguson for our invocation and to lead us in the pledge. Please stand if you can. Let us pray. Almighty God and our heavenly father, it's with grateful hearts that we acknowledge your presence this evening as the town council, staff, and community gather to conduct the business of the town of Prescat Valley. It is because of your faithfulness to us that allows us to be here. Father, we begin this meeting.

We want to thank you for the lives of employees Jamie Buckman and Kurt Harkwood who invested themselves in the livelihood of our town. Their recent passing from this life reminds us how important it is to invest in each other as we live and work together. I pray that you'll be with their families during these times of adjustments and that you will give us wisdom in interacting with our fellow employees in this election year.

We thank you for those who were reelected and for the newly elected Jason Thornton. We also thank you for Kimberly Lopez for her service to our community. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the many ways you're blessing our community as we continue to grow in residential population businesses property and roadway developments. Thank you for the vision of our community leadership and for the many ways in which we involve our residents in our planning and development.

Thank you for your protection of our first responders and medical staffs. I also thank you for the street and road workers for their safety. And I thank you for all of our town council. I acknowledge that you're already aware of all that's going to be discussed tonight. Therefore, I pray for wisdom during the discussions and votes that take place. I acknowledge you as Lord and thank you for your faithfulness to all those who believe in your everlasting presence in our lives.

I offer this prayer in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, [clears throat] one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. You may be seated. Thank you, sir. Moving on. Can I get a motion to approve the agenda as presented? I'll make that motion, Mr. Mayor. I'll second. Clerk, please hold it.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Vice Mayor, Belltown Council members, and staff. The chamber closed out the month of July with their annual awards banquet. This year's theme was boots and buckle. It was a cowboy western theme, and people really got engaged with the moment.

We gave out a lot of many awards recognizing the many outstanding businesses in our great community. Three I like to call special attention to Steve Rutherford, longtime Presca Valley resident, longtime past council member too, I believe. Uh received a lifetime achievement award from the Chamber of Commerce. We're really proud about that. Sparklight won large business of the year and legendary Total Wellness and Longevity Spa uh was small business of the year.

Again, it was a great event and I look forward hopefully you guys put this on your calendar for next year's next year as well and no one goes on any planned vacations during this time frame. Mr. Davidson, looking ahead to the month of September, uh we have our 33rd annual uh Ponghorn Golf Classic. We tee off at 8 a.m. on September 19th. Registration is now open. 150 for individ individual, excuse me, individual golfers, 500 for forsome.

Mrs. Zurch [snorts] and our Hispanic Business Association in partnership with the town of Presca Valley Police Department will host uh Poente de Kumidad uh next month on Sunday, September 27th from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. This is a really special event uh highlighting the culture of the Hispanic community.

a lot of games, activities, uh, great food, folkloria dancers, and you, you know, you don't really get to see everything, but if you don't, if you want to miss one thing, don't miss Chief Bob Tyer dancing with the Focal Warrior dancers. That is worth the price of admission. So, we invite you all to come out for that. Um, we are moving forward with this event, but we are being cautiously cautiously optimistic uh given the current climate in the community.

So, should we have to change the date for later on during the year, we will definitely notify you of that date change. Something to put on a placeholder for your calendars, uh, October 9th through the 18th. In celebration, highlighting the Prescuit Valley culinary scene, we'll be hosting restaurant week.

BML Bank, Alaga Healthcare Group, Starruck Event Planning, Emerald Elite Services, Scary Plants Media, Goodman Group Benefits and Insurance, M&S Painting, uh Scott Fry as a commercial realtor, and Lasting Impressions Photo Booth. We crossed 630 in memberships.

We're now at 632 members and we're quite proud of that. And that's my report for the for this meeting. Mr. Mayor, nicely done, sir. Congratulations on region 630. Next up, call the public. At this time, members of the public may comment on matters listed on the agenda or solely on matters within the jurisdiction of the town. Any persons wishing to address the council must register their name with the town clerk prior to the commencement of the meeting.

At the conclusion of call to the public, the council may respond to criticism, ask staff to review a matter commented upon, or ask that matter be put on a future agenda. Such remarks shall be limited to three minutes unless additional time is granted by the mayor. The clerk will read off some names for the first four. And if you've signed up, will you please work your way down to the front row seats, please? Mayor and council, we have nine people registered.

The first uh five names that you see on your screen is Daniel Warren, Chris Russo, Liz Kennedy, Carolyn Zern, Joe Colossimo, Daniel. Daniel, welcome, sir. Thank you, sir. I didn't time this. I hoped to be only three minutes, sir. So, I'll begin. I guess we'll find out, won't we? Thank you, mayor and council and members of the community. Leadership and decision-making are exercises in discretion, compliance, and wisdom. I believe that a well-governed municipality produces good fruits.

Peace, security, fidelity, patience. In my brief time here, not two months, I have tasted those fruits. The people of PV have been wonderfully kind and this town has provided a safe, peaceful environment where I could successfully prepare for the California Bar Exam, allegedly the 11th hardest exam in the world. If possible, based on my time here, I intended to permanently establish my family and my law practice now in Arizona.

I love this state so much because of my experience here that I'm now happy to take a second bar exam so I can practice in Arizona. So now having finished law school, I finished a first exam. I can't practice on August 3rd, not 10 days ago. I began to seek employment by today, August 13th, I secured an excellent offer with a firm in Phoenix, which I have thusly accepted. Unfortunately or fortunately to those who do not like the sound of my voice, this means I must relocate from PB.

And that brings me to my core point. You didn't see this coming everybody. While living here, I've heard many grievances and much coveting lobbyed at leadership regarding the proposed sewer project designed to facilitate a 50% increase in population or thereabouts. But currently there are effectively zero viable options in PV for a professional like me to obtain suitable employment to sustain a family.

In just 10 days, I could have moved from a prospective resident to an active taxpayer, expanding the tax base and directly supporting this infrastructure growth. Even if it's just a penny, we're Christians. It it matters. I wanted to give to that growth. I love it here. I could have moved my wife here.

Our family may have grown here and become part of the leadership's vision of that growth, but that will not happen because the town's infrastructure is not yet equipped to support the speed and the needs of the professional and administrative class. It is a tough pill to swallow, but it must be said to grow the sewer project and others like it are absolutely necessary. I'm living evidence of what is lost when vital infrastructure becomes fodder for malicious political attacks.

It weakens the body. It stalls growth. And it works against the fruits that we are called to create through our shared labor and our tough decisions. I pray that the leadership maintains the diligence and the strict discipline that is required to legally develop this town and these types of projects. My hope is that one day PV can retain professionals who bring their expertise and competency to allow more good families to join the exceptionally kind people who are already here.

I'm leaving soon, but I want to advocate for your leadership and ask the community to consider the perspective of someone who wishes the town had grown faster because this place my home. May I continue, Mayor, just one line. Finish up. Absolutely, sir. Thank you. I'm sorry to take any more time. Thank you. Thank you to the town.

Basically, what I'm saying is that the community should keep an open mind for future prospective residents, doctors, lawyers, engineers, other professionals who stand to benefit the local community through their hard work, the training, the expertise, and hopefully, this is critical, everyone, the good spirit that those types of lawyers and doctors are going to come to bring to you. Okay, that's your prayer. Pray that they're good people and that one day they reside in this glowing town.

Thank you for your time, mayor and counsel. Thank you. Mr. Warren, when you said you were going to be a lawyer, I had no doubt you were going to go over your time of 30 [laughter] minutes. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, Daniel. Um Chris Russo from uh Pres Valley over there in Granville. Uh first of all, I wanted to say I want to do something. Um that's a that's a hard act to follow right there.

I wanted to say thank you to you guys to um everybody the the mayor and the dice mayor and the council and everybody that was involved in fixing that big divot over there on uh Jasper. I know it's not often that you guys get it that you have somebody coming up here and tell you how good you guys are doing. Um so but here I am.

Uh, one thing I wanted to say also is that and I don't hope I don't run out of time, but um I wanted to talk about the some of the disgusting behavior that I've seen from some of the residents in this town as as it refers to Michelle Burchil, probably the one of the hardest working people in in Yavapai County. Her job is, you know, just an unbelievable difficult job. She does it with good uh with with good measure. She's very conscientious.

She the improvements that she made uh for voting in this in this county has been unbelievable for what for the short time she's been here. Uh for people to dox her and her husband is just disgusting. Um they uh you know they were complaining about her taking people or having people using addresses down there at the county building. Well that that's in statute. Uh you know a lot of the people they want illegals to vote but but here we are.

They want they don't want Americans to vote that are down and out. the people that are, you know, have hard times, they want to vote, too. So, they're using that building down there as an address so they can register to vote. That's great. That, you know, that's perfect. Um, the the thing about Well, there was something else about Michelle. I I can't remember. But, uh, also I wanted to say welcome, uh, Jason Thordon. You have some big shoes to fill over there.

And I hope that you remember that you represent all of Prescat Valley, not just the packs that got you elected. That you represent, you represent Prescuit Valley. You don't represent Chino Valley. You don't represent Dwey. You don't represent uh Prescuit Country Club. You represent the people in Prescuit Valley. So, welcome. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Next up, Miss Kennedy. Welcome. Thank you very much, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council, and Staff. I'm here for that favorite subject, the flock cameras.

Uh I'd like to know I've talked to actually a couple people here in the audience. They don't even know what they do or whether why they're we have them in the recent Chandler incident where uh the plot cameras uh were audited and there was in there was discrepancies you know Sedona's take them down Chandler taking them you know taking them down Scottsdale's been screaming for months. Can you please educate our community what they are and have you used them for any um criminal activity?

Thank you. Thank you, ma'am. Z Carolyn Zern. Next three up, Joe Classimo, Arn Nigel, Sharon Freed. Oh, Miss Zern. I'm Carolyn Zern. I live at 715 North Blue Spruce Drive in Presca Valley. I just want to welcome and congratulate Jason Thornton on his election. Thank you very much for running. Thank you, ma'am. Mr. Quasimo, Mr. Nigel, then Laurel, Laura Cobble, and Ron Ammeroft. Good evening, Lawrence Nigel, former candidate for mayor.

My congratulations to Jason Thornton for well-run campaign and a welldeserved election. I hope those shoes you're filling aren't high heels. Um, I want to appreciate Janelle Keel, Ken Fry, and uh, for your standing for righteousness and and the right way to do things on this council level. You are seated in an honorable position. And because you're an honorable position, you have to earn the respect of the people. It's not given automatically. I'm not going to talk about the campaign.

It was what it was. Um, I was grateful for all those who came out and voted, for those who mailed in their ballots. They wanted to see change in this community. They still want to see change in this community. And I hope to be uh a source of uh information to them as they come down here and continue to approach the council with issues that concern them. It has to be a better community. There has to be openness. There has to be honesty. There has to be integrity and transparency.

And right now, it's lacking some of those qualities. We hope that will change by our influence. Uh, one example I want to share with the public is that when you file a complaint with the town management, you should expect a response from them. Doesn't matter what the response is, but they should respond. And as we filed, I have filed a complaint of Mr. If you would please address the council, not to the public. I'm addressing the council. So focus on the council from the podium, please.

Are you going to give me my time back? The problem is that you should expect a response. And if you don't get one, you come down here and you demand one. and I'm demanding a response to a complaint that I filed well over three weeks ago. Nothing has been shared whatsoever. I was promised an investigation by an outside agency. No such investigation took place.

And as I develop the information after you respond to me, then I will be able to share the details with the Secretary of State and with the Attorney General's office. I intend to do that. is not sour grapes. It's simply expecting what we should expect as citizens of this community. And I thank God for the First Amendment rights that we have to free speech and I would hope that we safeguard that in our hearts and in our daily actions. Thank you. Thank you.

And if I can remind the public, this is we have decorum in this room. This isn't Dewey Humble council meetings. This isn't Next Door. So if you can't be adult enough to not use profanity, then maybe you should leave. Next up, Shannon. Sharon Freed, welcome. All right. How do I do this? Don't start the clock or put it back. Hey, Sharon Freed, resident of Prescuit Valley. I submitted a foyer request on July 30th, 2026 at 10 a.m. I received an email confirmation also on July 30th, 2026.

Today is August 13, 2026, 10 or 11 days since I submitted my foyer request. According to the town website under timely response in accordance with ARS39-121-01, if requests cannot be accommodated within 10 working days, requesttor will so be advised of the delay and the reason for it. I have not received any response to date.

Failure to respond and produce the requested documents is deemed an illegal and unlawful denial of my Freedom of Information Act request per public records law ARS39-121-39-161. So for the record, I will read it now. Request number PR 2026410. Please provide the following details and information regarding the flock cameras that were installed throughout Prescat Valley. The names of the flock employees who were involved in the town contracting with them.

The names of the town staff who decided to contract with the flock company. The number of flock cameras installed in Prescat Valley, their exact locations and capabilities. In addition to photographing license plates, i.e. Photographing the crotch area, facial recognition, audio recording of conversations in private vehicles, signal tracing, all electronic devices in vehicles, drone connections, etc.

Please provide all still pictures, videos, facial recognition, audio recordings, and all tracking documentation of myself and my vehicle for the past 60 days, dates, times, locations. Please provide a copy of a document signed by me giving the town of Prescat Valley, the Flock Company, and the Prescat Valley Police Department permission to photograph my vehicle, my license plate, my face, and to surveil and track my movements throughout Prescat Valley. And before I end, I want to welcome Jason.

Thank you so much for running, and I'm glad you're here. Thank you, ma'am. Next up, Miss Laura Cole. Did I say that right? Kobvel Coell. Coell, welcome, ma'am. Thank you. Good evening. My name is Laura Coell. I own a small business here in Prescuit Valley. On July 13th, I submitted a written notice concerning what I believe are open meeting law violations involving the town's license plate reader and real-time surveillance program. The town's clerk's office confirmed receipt on July 14th.

Today is 30 days from that confirmed receipt. ARS section 38-431 05 says a legal action transact transacted during a meeting held in violation of open meeting law is null and void unless properly ratified. So I want a straight answer. What date does the town contend discovery occurred? If July 14th did not start that clock, state the legal basis for that position.

Because if July 14th is when the town discovered or reasonably should have discovered the violations, October 1st is too late for statutory ratification. And October 1st is not a pause. Every day between now and then, the system keeps operating. More plates are photographed, more locations are location records are created, more searches can be run. A study session seven weeks from now does not protect the public. Today, I reviewed 179 council meetings.

I found votes on grants, votes on funding, related purchases, and a 12-month pilot. You have voted on money. You have voted on grants. You've never plainly put the surveillance program itself before a public vote. What I did not find was a properly noticed council action converting that pilot into the permanent integrated surveillance system operating today. If that vote exists, produce it. What meeting? What agenda item? What motion? What recorded vote?

And while we wait, people in this community are privately telling me they're afraid to speak publicly. They describe fear of harassment intimidation and retaliation for questioning people with influence. And you expect those same people to be comfortable comfortable with government having the ability to reconstruct their daily travel. That is why the audit trail matters. If October 1st happens, do not turn it into a vendor sales bridge. Bring the evidence. Who searched? Who was searched? Why?

What a case or incident number number was entered? Was there a warrant or other legal process? Who received the information? And was this power ever has this power ever been abused? Do you not tell us what employees are supposed to do? Show us what they actually did. Article 2, section 8 of the Arizona Constitution says, "No person shall be disturbed in his private affairs or his home invaded without the authority of law." Government needs lawful authority to investigate us.

We do not need government's permission to investigate our government. So, do not spend the next seven weeks continuing to exercise the surveillance power the public is still trying to determine was ever properly authorized. Bring the vote. Bring the audit logs. Bring the legal author authority. You already have the power. Now show the public how you got it and how you used it. This does not wave my open meeting law complaint or my written objections. Thank you. Thank you. Next up, Ron.

Welcome, sir. Hello. Welcome, sir. Uh, well, I've got several things that I want to go over. Uh, jobs. Uh, sir, if you're going to be a lawyer, I've got plenty of work for you, trust me. Um, part of it about this town.

Uh, second one, um, I, uh, was driving down the 69, which I know that's technically not your jurisdiction, but a motorcyclist was quote unquote lane filtering or splitting or whatever, and he decided that since I'd moved over to where I could see in front of me that he couldn't get through. He got cranky about it. He went around my He kicked my bumper, went around, broke my mirror. I've got camera pictures of this guy. I I've got everything on this guy.

Well, apparently the motorcyclists in this community know that they can get away with pretty much anything. I hear them going up and down the street at 3:00 in the morning with the little fart cams going and uh you know, zipping down there. I know how fast they're going because a Kawasaki at full rev in second gear will do over 90 miles an hour. So, by Yeah, I know they're they're going too faster. Police department's uh basically a joke with them. Uh let's get into cars. Okay.

Uh the boom [snorts] boom boom that's coming out of the back of them. That's a noise ordinance. The uh fart cans that are on them, it's a noise ordinance issue. You guys don't do anything about it. So people think they can get away with it. Well, if they can get away with that, what else can they get away with? Uh, so yeah, your whole police department here is about revenue because I I saw them uh I don't remember which holiday it was. Uh my wife had an emergency.

We had to go to the uh hospital and we come back and your your deputy or your police officers, they all have these cameras out going, "hm, who's speeding? Who's speeding? Who's that's a revenue thing. How about the motorcycle that doesn't have any exhaust on it that's revving to 1,800 RPMs or whatever it is?" Uh, you know, They're they're making all sorts of noise. No revenue in that, I guess. So, I'd like to ask what you're going to be doing about that.

Um, same with the cars and everything else, the noise. Um, okay. The jobs, back to the jobs thing. You've got uh people coming in here u with uh coffee uh companies. That's not going to pay a real wage. Now, for the real one, cameras. I'm going to invoke my fifth amendment right to how I know how easy it is to hack the camera over there at K on um on the uh uh Prescat East Highway and the 69. But a little thing called a flipper zero.

Somebody was sitting there, pushed a few buttons, found out that yes, we can see what's in your car. every frequency, every Bluetooth that's turned on, every Wi-Fi that's turned on. We can hack into your cell phone using the Flock camera. This is not insane technology. We want to know what's going to go on. I just came back from Texas. There is a court that just found the city guilty of negligence or I I don't remember exactly what it was based on the fact that the town had these flock cameras.

People hacked them and it's just could be anybody here and they could find out anything about anybody on anybody's device. So if you want to keep the cameras, I'll keep the lawyers coming. I am known as as a legit a latigious uh person and I believe the police department called me a constitutionalist. I'd like to see you take them down or I will take you down. Thank you, sir. Next up, council communications. Council, Mr.

Mayor, I just want to acknowledge that last Tuesday was National Night Out and I want to give a big shout out to all the residents in the town and all the venues that hosted events for National Night Out. Um, I also want to acknowledge all the hard work put in by the police department. Uh, because without their uh hard work, National Night Out would not be as successful as it was. So, thank you. Thank you, sir. Mr. Davidson, managers report. Uh, Mr.

Mayor, members of the council, um we do have a volunteer fair. We have a large uh group of members of our uh community here. So, if anyone is looking for opportunities to volunteer if you've had a career in a particular field and want to give back, uh this is a great fair to be able to come learn about the town and some of the different areas that we have volunteers. It's going to be September 16th from 11 to 2 here at the civic center. Additional information is on the town's website.

Um, we also have our fall citizens academy. It's starting uh in a few weeks. The applications for this particular academy are are due on Monday uh August 17th. So, if you have any interest in spending about eight weeks um and literally getting to learn all about the town government, um this is a great uh event to be able to do that.

And then as our chaplain had prayed about, I I do have, you know, a very very sad announcement that we had had an unexpected loss of two of our town staff members this past week. It has been a very tough week for all of our our town staff. Jamie Buckman, who was with our human resources department, and Kurt Hartwick, who was with our development services department.

Um we they both were incredible and valued members of of our team uh and we will dearly miss them and um we certainly have our con send our condolences to their families. Thank you. Thank you sir. Next up consent agenda. All matters listed under consent agenda are considered routine by the town council and will be enacted by one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items.

If discussion is desired that item will be removed from the consent agenda and will be considered separately. Mr. May I make a motion to approve the consent agenda with all items 8 8A through 8E by electronic vote. A second. Please call the vote. Council member Kio I mayor that passes. Thank you ma'am. Next up 9A recommendation to appoint Elijah Snder to building board of appeals departmental term with renewal date of July 31st 2028. Is there someone presenting on this?

So, um just we make a recommendation um to the board of appeals. Um we're grateful for their services. Um and u we hope that um you'll take that consideration and uh we have gone through the vetting process um as appropriate. So, thank you for your consideration. Thank you, ma'am.

Council, we have any questions for Miss Bristo? Seeing none, I entertain a motion. Mayor, I'll make a motion to appoint Elijah Snder to the building board of appeals for the remainder of a term with renewal date of July 31st, 2028 by electronic vote. A second. Thank you. Council member Keiel, how do you wish to vote? No. Um, I don't feel that uh political action committee members should be serving on our our commissions. Okay. Moving on.

I just wanted to clarify that the screen says failed, but that does pass because it has four votes. Thank you, ma'am.

Next up, recommendation to appoint Sharon Tulie to the parks, arts, and recreation commission to a term with the renewal date of June 30th, 2027. Mr. Kieran, anything to add?

Uh, just want to only adding that I recommend that we appoint uh Miss Sharon Tulie to the parks, arts, and recreation commission. Sir, council, we have any questions for Mr. Kieran on this matter? And I would just ask um my one ask is that that we treat everyone in the community with respect and and even on social media. Got a motion and a second. Mr.

Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to appoint [clears throat] Sharon Tuli to the Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commission for the remainder of a term with a renewal date of June 30th, 2027 by electronic vote. I'll second. Council member Ke. And again, no, I don't think that a political activist um I I think that it's going to cause some turmoil. Thank you, Mayor. That passes. Thank you, ma'am. And I'd also like to pass along that you're free to exercise your First Amendment right anytime you'd like.

That goes to all candidates and all residents here. Moving on. Item 108, ordinance number 2026-981, town code restrictions reference pedestrian presence in town medians. Council, you have anything to add for Mr. Leggler? Mr. Leg on this new uh change, does this override what we previously recently passed where uh people are not allowed to uh solicit to automobiles that are passing. Mr.

Mayor and Council, as I mentioned last time, we are modifying the prior town code provision that specifically said no approaching at all of vehicles. And that's based on some of the changes that have occurred and in in the legal aspect of that. And so we are moving to focus on medians. That's something that we see other communities doing that we believe we can enforce.

So just for clarification, uh if someone is standing on the side of the road rather than on the median and they are soliciting from a from a they're soliciting car drivers as they pass, that's okay. Mr. Mayor Council, it isn't directly a violation as it was pre previously. There might be other things that could be brought forward under our town code, but if they are not in the median, it will not relate to this ordinance provision. Thank you. Anything else, clerk?

Ordinance number 2026981, an ordinance of the mayor and common council of the town of Presca Valley and Municipal Corporation of Arizona amending chapter 11 traffic to prohibit occupation of certain traffic medians for any purpose other than the lawful crossing of a street in chapter 10 offenses to make conforming changes providing that all other chapters, articles and sections of the town code not hearing amended shall remain in full force and effect and providing that this ordinance to be effective.

30 days after its passage and approval according to law. Thank you, ma'am. Shall this ordinance pass? Council member Kio, how do you wish to vote? Yes, mayor. That passes. Thank you, ma'am.

Um so today we have uh Rafelis on with us uh some representatives of Rafelis and they will go through a short presentation and answer any questions. Excellent. Thank you. Um, mayor, members of council, good evening. Uh, my name is Todd Cristiano with Raf Telis and um, I was back here back in May. We went through kind of a detailed uh, presentation of the calculations and what it took to get into um, these development impact fees.

So, tonight's presentation is somewhat a bridged um, somewhat of a bridged version of that and I'll be more than happy to answer any questions as we go along. So, I'm going to share my screen really quick and hopefully everything will work out. Okay. Excellent. Okay. And we started this process back in January. Been working with staff along the way for these different fees here. And um there hasn't been obviously any changes since we began.

Um just a couple of things here with the legislative requirements um uh the methodologies we used and obviously the fees that we uh uh completed all the calculations on and we I think we have a fee comparison at the end here. Uh obviously the Arizona revised statutes 9-463-05 um uh outline the requirements of a development impact fee.

This is not an exhaustive exhaustive list but rather some of the key points about um uh how impact fees are to be designed and what can be considered within an impact fee.

Um and obviously we have to adopt an inf infrastructure improvement plan or IIP and the the fees need to be proportionate um for the cost and the benefit they that the um uh uh developer receives and um we can't be using these development impact fees for onm expenses any sort of uh increase in the level of service or any sort of projects not identified in the IIP um and the upgrades to meet higher level of services is is really important there and that's uh part of the calculations to ensure that our fees are uh set at the same level of service um that are that is currently in place with with the town.

Um so the retired required documents by statute obviously the LANU assumptions the IIP and then the development calculation the development impact fees some key things that are required and these are really important because changes in these items obviously have a huge impact on whether the fees will go up and down up or down and things like population housing job projections um the square footage projections land use categories and a lot of these things come from uh areas like the Census Bureau and and uh other uh local Arizona um forecasted population and job information as well.

And we utilize that just as we did in the previous study. Um the IIP uh lists out the existing conditions and deficiencies. We have to um look at the existing capacity, look at the future capital planning and timing, uh project the service units, project the demand analysis. Basically, it sets the stage for the assumptions that we're going to use that go into the calculation of the fee. Um, the diff requirements here again, fee proportionality.

The calculations we use uh must show proportionality by by breaking up um uh uh uh the development between residential and non-residential and the the the demands both of those types are going to be placing on on the system or the infrastructure and obviously needs to be tied to the IIP and and again very important is that we need to maintain the existing level of service when designing these PS. Uh so as was mentioned here we are at the August 13th period.

There's still some more steps to go before these are adopted. And the total days uh uh from start to finish is 260 days. We have a minimum of 225 days to be able to uh adopt these fees. So we're we're well within that reach. The minimum is 225. So we're at 260. So we've got everything spaced out accordingly and appropriately for uh to get feedback, comments, and make adjustments. Um, so some of the changes from last time we last did this study back in 2020.

Uh, the population's gone up about 6,500. Um, that's the the growth rate over the 1.5% over the next 10 10 years. We're anticipating uh about 3,000 new housing units, about 1,300 new jobs and 869 non-residential square footage of of space um that will be built. And that's growth related. And obviously those growth related items are going to place an impact on the system. Hence the reason um we're designing these impact fees to recover the cost of of growth for this new type of of development.

Let's talk about streets first. Um we have a a fairly large IIP here. And what we have on here is a number of the projects and the additional lane miles that are going to be added or or or repaired. And we worked with staff to determine what what portion of these projects are growth related versus repair and replacement, maintaining the level of service. That way we not making sure that we're not um trying to include costs for maintaining level of service.

And so you can see there in the red box that we're estimating about 14.9 million worth of growth related streets projects um over the next 10 years. So, we go through all of our calculations looking at uh the growth in in in housing units and in population and square footage and our fees um come out for both residential, multif family and the non-residential group. Uh you can see that um there is an increase across the board.

A lot of that has to do with um changes in the growth rate from the previous study. Um and some of the the demand characteristics that we use um for um for these these this type of development have changed since co uh we we noticed a change in that especially with transportation related items and trips and that sort of thing which does play in part to a lot of these fees here.

Um so just some changes from last time plus probably the most important part here is that cost just went up um and and we've seen that all around but um soon after COVID just there were some really large inflationary increases and I think that was probably the primary driver for these increases as as are the increases for the other fees as well. police. Um, here we're estimating our growth cost is at $2.5 million all the way over there on the right hand side.

And we consider with police uh impact fees, we consider buildings and the square footage of those buildings. And we consider the count of vehicles and the amount of new vehicles we're going to need to sustain um new growth over the study period. Same thing with the buildings. we look at, well, as we increase our uh population and need for police services, we're going to need to increase um the facilities, the size of facilities, the number of vehicles over time.

And so, we're estimating it to be around $2.5 million over the study period. And again, here we're seeing some increases um on single family um the maximum supportable fee of 676 versus 404 for the current fee. Um you can see there on industrial that there is really no change. um that came out to be about the same. And there's some other um increases as well for office and other services and retail and restaurants.

And again, we're seeing this across the board, not just with the town of Prescuit Valley, but with other communities as well. Um obviously, they're seeing the same impacts of inflation and changes in the um in demographics and growth slowing and that sort of thing. That all plays part in um how these fees might be increasing. Parks and trails. Um um we're missing a sign there, but we also have some parks and trails items that um over the next 10 years we're going to need to support.

Um again, we have some increases here. Uh the maximum supportable fee for residential or for single family is going up um at $814. Uh multif family as well. Um industrial not quite as much. And other uh services, retail restaurants obviously seeing an increase as well.

And I believe part a majority part is I don't have the slide on it for some reason um that this was uh some new facilities that are getting built um to sustain the the new growth coming in and just the obviously the cost of those facilities to support growth over over the 10-year period are really driving um the increases here.

So, when we look across all of your fees um between um your current and and and proposed fees here, we've added in we've got our streets, parks and trails, police, we have library, but that will be going away. That's kind of a um a grandfathered in fee that will be going away once the death service is paid off, but it is still a required fee today. That's why we didn't look at it. You didn't see it in the above uh fee calculations.

And you can see that overall we are seeing an increase um between the proposed fees and and the current fees um with single family going up about $3,200 for all fees um all non-utility fees and we're seeing an increase of about $1,800 for multif family over in that change column there and again some increases for the the non-residential as well.

So in summary um when we did this study this time there were just some changes in demographics in ter in terms of growth and some of the the trip data that we use to calculate the fees have changed since co and and if you think about um uh now more people are working from home than are going to the office. So it changes this trip generation which which plays into each one of these fees and as well as the just the overall inflationary factors that um you know came about after after COVID.

And so people are still kind of seeing that pinch on all sorts of fees be it you know water wastewater impact fees or rates uh and certainly here with the general government um or non-utility fees. So here's a quick fee comparison. This is where we sit in comparison to the other communities. Uh obviously uh these other communities um don't have all the same fees that that the town does and they might be under the process under their five-year review of updating their fees.

So these other communities might be shifting by the end of the year as well. And so we just don't quite know. But the snapshot in time as of May, this was uh where uh Prescuit was was sitting. Um, and so, uh, I do want to stress that you see there at the bottom it says Prescuit Valley Maximum. That really means maximum supportable. I just want to be clear on that that that's really the maximum supportable fee that can be supported by data, math, and calculations.

Obviously, um, the town is free to adopt up to that amount. It's just going above that amount might be speculative because we we would not be able to support that through the calculations and data that the town provided to us during uh during this study. So, let's see here. Uh, here's a hotel room. 112 rooms, 60,000 65,500 square f feet. Again, back down here in the middle compared to other communities. And not all communities have the same amount of same type of fees.

So, that's something to consider as well. And a grocery store about in in the same spot here, 20,000 square foot grocery store. Um, again, kind of in the in the middle there. give it kind of a taste of the different types of development you see from the commercial side. Um that concludes my brief presentation and and summary presentation from last time. Um be be happy to answer any questions uh regarding the study or any of the kind of the calculations or details behind it. Thank you sir.

Council any questions for Todd? See none. This is a public hearing. Is anyone wish to come down and speak on this topic? believe we have one signed up, but that doesn't necessarily mean we only have to stick to one. So, welcome, ma'am. Mr. Mayor, good evening, Vice Mayor Council. It's been way too long since I've been before you. Mr. Cristiano, welcome. It was nice to see your presentation once again.

I want to share with you that myself, Sandy Griffith, executive director of the contractors association, my fellow industry representatives, and of course the community and the citizens of Prescat Valley, we all understand the necessity and the importance of infrastructure improvement plans and development impact fees. They're tough, but we understand the necessity. I wanted to share a couple facts with you and figures.

In 2014, the land use assumptions identified from the consultant for development impact fees were $5,196 per home. In 2023, the land use assumptions identified impact fees. The amount approved was $6,133 per home. Now in 2026, our consultant through the land use assumptions has identified impact fees $9,343 per single family home. Those fees do not include water or wastewater from 2020 for from 2014 to current proposed to today's proposed fees. That is a 79.18% increase.

Just wanted you to have some facts because I track these religiously. Mr. Cristiano has proposed growth assumptions on housing units. I rounded it off, Todd, to 3,000. Was 2,900. I went to 3,000. I track single family homes. I've been doing permits tracking for 20 years. Based on the assumed assumptions for Prescat Valley for 2026, we will need 2,480 homes. That puts Prescat Valley in 20 years the fifth lowest from the bottom. We're not growing.

I feel that we're coming off of that growth and we're coming down. [clears throat] So, with all due respect, I would like to request that the consultant Todd come back into the mix where we can discuss defensible basis for the proposed projects. And I'm not here to state a policy preference at all to lower fees.

I want us to all be on the same level playing field and understand exactly what's happening where our growth percentages are and we need to look at these fees because I surely don't want Prescat Valley to be at the top tier of that slide that we saw tonight. So, I thank you, Mayor and Council, and I'm looking forward to some sort of gathering or Zoom meeting with Todd where we can chat about these fees and move forward. So, thank you. Thank you, ma'am. Anyone else?

Anyone else wish to speak on this topic? Seeing none, close the public hearing. Spartan, anything to add? council. Anything for Mr. Barton? None. Moving on. Item 11B, consideration of possible action to approve agreement with Walden Financial Services. Mr. Barton, welcome again. Mayor, council, uh we've undergone a competitive RFQ process. Um we had two submissions and ultimately Wildan was selected um for our uh water and wastewater rates uh study and analysis.

Um uh before you tonight is their agreement uh the agreement with Wildan to uh commence this study. Uh this will happen over the next several months um uh to the end of the year or uh to the beginning of next year. Um, we have uh some representatives of Wildan with us today, uh, Dan Jackson and Jason Gray, and they will go through a short presentation and answer any questions. Welcome, sir. Thank you, mayor, vice mayor, town council members. Uh, thank you for your time tonight.

My name is Jason Gray. I'm a vice president with Will Down Financial Services. I have Dan Jackson here with me tonight as well, who's been working with the town in a variety of capacities for nearly 30 years. Um tonight on your agenda is uh approval of an agreement with us to do a variety of different studies. Um generally speaking in regards to your water and wastewater systems, wastewater and water and wastewater uh rate study, a capacity fee study similar to what Mr.

Cristiano just um uh presented on but for the water and wastewater side uh water resource fees as well as a cost allocation plan. Um again multiple uh generally speaking utility rated uh utility related uh types of uh fees and studies. A little bit about we have been working uh with Prescuit Valley now for a number of years. We are publicly traded national corporation.

Um I [clears throat] won't go through all the details here but we have done uh about 350 probably closer to 400 rate studies across the country. We've served many cities within Arizona, uh, cities and towns, um, really across the country, but from our office in just north of Dallas, Texas, we serve primarily Texas and Arizona. Uh, you can see here some of our other national clients as well as our national offices.

Um, again, our experience within uh, Arizona specifically, we think is is unmatched. You can see here the those in yellow indicate projects within the last 5 years. Uh so not just a long history of projects within Arizona, but um several very recent ones as well. Uh we've done uh service over 50 cities and districts uh within Arizona since 1997.

Uh we provide a variety of different types of services, cost allocation and user fee studies and that's a portion a big portion of what we have uh before you tonight. uh development impact fees uh in relationship with the capacity fee uh utility rate and cost of service studies which is kind of the core piece of this agreement. We also do financial economic uh impact and feasibility studies special district formation and annual administration and bond compliance as well.

Uh, generally speaking, the rate study methodology, again, while there are several different studies included as part of this agreement, I'm going to focus primarily on rate studies here tonight. The methodology really, it's a three-step process of we work with your staff to figure out how much revenue is needed.

uh we figure out who is incurring or causing that cost to happen and then what the rates need to be in both uh amount as well as design uh in order to cover and recover the costs that are associated with the revenue need. The outcome ensures that you will um have proposed rates that cover your full costs of doing business uh for your water and wastewater services uh for we do a 10-year projection. Um and we will come back and we'll propose to you a multi-year rate plan as well.

again, specifically our history and our experience with the town. Uh again, Dan Jackson, who's here with me tonight, uh worked with the town in acquiring Shamrock Water Company back in 1998 and has been working on a variety of different projects with the town. Um, ever since then, we were last engaged in 2022 to prepare a water and wastewater rate study, a drainage fee study, and a non-rate revenue analysis. So we'll be doing two of those three as part of this agreement.

Uh the non- rate revenue analysis is not a portion of this particular agreement. Um we have worked closely with staff to develop alternative rate and financial plans that f that have funded the significant growth as well as minimize impact on rateayers to the extent possible. Recognizing that um as these costs continue to increase um you are operating your utility fund essentially as a business. uh and that likely will be the case where rates will need to be increased as well.

We'll uh model, we'll develop, we'll test and we will um only be required for new studies as it goes forward. With that, be happy to take any questions or comments that you have. Any questions for staff or presenter? Mr. Barton, you want to add anything? All right. I have a I have a motion. Can I have a second? Mayor, I'll make a motion to approve the agreement with Wilden Financial Services and related budget transfers as outlined in the fiscal analysis section by electronic vote.

I'll second vote. Council member Kio, I approve. Thank you, Mayor. That passes. Thank you, ma'am. Moving on. Department of Public Safety Grant Agreement Amendment. Chief Martin. Welcome, sir. Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council, good evening. Jeremy Martin, assistant chief with the police department. On January 6th of this year, the town approved acceptance of the 2025 Department of Public Safety local border security grant in the amount of $363,390.

This was for a police department range classroom, a drone, forensic evidence kits, um off-road vehicle. At this point, the classroom has costed more than we anticipated. Granted, 7 months later, price has gone up. At this point, we're requesting $351,182 of those funds be used for the classroom. This does not change the amount of the grant. We're simply asking that the funds be reallocated use of it towards the classroom. Thank you, sir. Any questions for assistant chief?

See not I'll entertain a motion. Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to approve the proposed amendment to the previously approved Arizona Department of Public Safety, known as DPS, local border support grant by electronic vote. I'll second call vote. Council member Ke. I approve. Thank you, Mayor. That passes. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, sir. Next up, Del Rio Springs well operation agreement report of emergency procurement per town code 3-04-060. Welcome, mayor, vice mayor, and council.

It's delightful to be in front of you again today uh to talk to you about um this is just anformational item uh regarding a an needed operation that we're going to be engaging in at Del Rio Springs. And this is pertaining to property and accompanying water right that was purchased in fall of 2021.

Uh right number is listed on the screen and it is for 68.6 acre feet and it's established already as a type two groundwater right and we have an application in review at ADWR for conversion of that right to a surface water right.

uh we are able to do that because of historical um use of that right as a surface water right uh documentated it's documented that way um the so we are required to actually use the water right on a regular basis as per our our legal council as advised by our legal council water council um and it strengthens our water rights portfolio um and that's for the anticip ipated Hila River adjudication process and our um our need to exercise the right has we have to use it every 5 years and this uhformational item I'm talking about this evening in the packet is ex is is allowing us to exercise the right in a timely fashion.

We're coming up against that five-year deadline and we need to be using that, right? Uh just to give you a brief summary of what we're going to be doing, we're going to be rehabbing one of the wells uh and operating it um to actually uh pull water from the ground. Um and we're going to be installing a temporary pump and power equipment um and constructing a temporary discharge line. We're going to be monitoring and collecting pumping data.

And this will be a short-term project, no longer than three months long, probably far shorter time span than that. And the water will be used for um watering trees and native educ vegetation at the adjoining uh Del Rio Springs State Park property. And uh we have an agreement with state parks uh to actually be able to do that. and be able to document it as a beneficial use of that water right. And uh we will need to in the future be exercising this right every at minimum every 5 years.

And there's been discussion of of potentially doing that in the future for the state park. Uh this is our way of of of helping to uh uh potentially support a what will be a really cool state park when they get it going. [snorts] So that's all I have for you this evening. Thank you ma'am. So basically it's a use it or lose it type of situation we're in and that's why we're exercising our five-year right at this time. Yeah.

We we need to be able to document that within every 5 years we have used or or you know used in good faith the amount of the water uh that is allocated to that right. um and that protects it so that way we are um in good shape for the adjudication process. Thank you ma'am. Council I I think you know I I agree with the idea. I think it's important that we do this. Uh my two questions are one is this the least expensive uh way we can do this to exercise the right?

Is there any less expensive way for the taxpayers? And the and the second part would be it seems like it kind of may have fallen through the cracks that we're doing as an emergency. So is there some kind of a solid plan in place for the future that we won't be caught in that position and we'll be ahead of the curve next time? Yes, I'll answer your first question for your second question first.

We have been, as I said, in talks with state parks about potentially teaming with them on a more regular basis to be able to help uh establish native vegetation. Uh the property that the state parks that the state park is is going to be established on has been used for grazing for a number of years, so it's not necessarily in native a native habitat at the moment. So they are certainly I think interested in potentially um uh you know reestablishing native vegetation. Um your first question.

We actually uh found out fairly late uh last fiscal year that we were going to need to exercise the right and had to uh get it into the budget process for this fiscal year. Um so timing wise we had about six months of overlap to be able to get that water right exercised. Um procurement processes tend to take a long time. So we were we we were kind of stuck. We ended up having to go through an emergency procurement for this process. Thank you very much. Thank you. Anything else for staff?

All right. Thank you ma'am. Moving on. Final item 11E, Ordinance number 2026-982, adoption ZMC 26-001 windmill farm site from RL70 residential single family limited to CG commercial general sales services. General, thank you, mayor, vice mayor, members of council, and staff for all your support. Um, like you said, this is a zone map change for Wimblel Farms at parcel 40248E. The parcel is located north of State Route 169 on the east side of 69 just south of the Kachina uh place intersection.

As you said, the request is to uh reszone approximately 2.2 acres of vacant land from RL70 to CGPD commercial general sales and services planned area development. As you see on the map to the north there, the properties are also zoned CGPD. Um, the uses proposed are retail A, retail B, service A, and service B from chapter 13 of our city of our zoning code.

Um, the site plan provided is a buildout of two spec buildings um much like uh the new Roberts Market uh building there that has now Sakura, Bosa, and Lindo, Mexico. Um the buildings will be built in phases with part of the front building coming first. Um each building will be approximately 9,000 square feet under roof and a total of 85 parking spaces will be provided. This slide here is what the uses will be allowed.

So we're conditioning it to all of these uses that are allowed in there which are those retail A, retail B, service A, and service B. Um so all of that is basically what will be allowed on this site. [clears throat] This area is designated in the general plan as PAD 5-2.

The character of the PAD 52 from the general plan says that it offers diverse housing, commercial, office, and employment opportunities for people working or living in the vicinity of the state route 69 corridor and to serve the neighborhoods and surrounding communities. The land uses allowed are low density, medium density, medium, high density, regional, community, and neighborhood commercial. Um, and so those the zonings they're allowed are RL, RS, MF, CN, and CG.

Um, the reasoning for these uses in the PAD 52 is a proximity to State Route 69 and State Route 169. Um, these are just a few goals and policies that align with proposed reszone. Um, enhance and promote the State Route 69 corridor within the town of Prescuit Valley as a major shopping and recreation employment area. um and maintain a variety of commercial uses to meet the shopping needs of residents or visitors. Um staff recommends approval of ZMC 26- 001 windmill farms.

Additionally, at the June 8th planning and zoning commission meeting, um they also recommended approval 60 with uh conditions of a co-compliant landscape plan and a letter of no conflict from APS. I will take any questions at this time. Thank you, sir. And this is a public hearing which I am opening now. Is there anyone that wishes to speak on this item? Clerk, was there there was someone earlier? Correct. Sir, come on up. Just please just state your name, sir. Just state your name prior.

I am Donald Crawford. I reside there. And this is Christine Hendendrickson. She's the owner of the property. I'm a co-owner with her. Um, we just had a few questions referring to the the site map and everything. We recently heard that they say that there's going to be an emergency exit on the back side of the property here going to Den of the Lane. That's not even a possibility. That's not our That's not That's the property behind us people. There's a gate there.

The only reason the gate there is because Tom Weber and Terry Weber, the owners that previously, which is her father and grand and and uncle live there, they only got that gate open with the okay from the resident behind them. That's not even a pathway there. So, I don't know what's going on with that.

We just wanted to address that because we're not sure what's going on because somebody mentioned to her in an email to Chris in an email that that's going to be an emergency exit out the back gate. That's not even supposed to be a gate there. It was given approval by the resident behind us that's their property just so he can go see his brother at the end of Denovan. So, we want to just kind of find out what is the what's going on with that. We're not sure.

And um the flooding like the property has flooding and now they're also said that any kind of water that runoff if it it's going to continue the natural flow which was down the entire property out the back gate on the existing properties behind us. What are they going to do to control the water there? I guess let it flow to the back of the property where we live and um fencing. We're just wanting to know what kind of fencing is going up between the two properties.

Is it is there is there going to be a fence a block wall for privacy for us for the resident for the new businesses that are going up there or is it a chain link fence to we're looking at the back of these buildings with everything behind it or what? And uh the front gate they say they got to maybe relocate it. Who is responsible for relocating it? Are they relocating it on their behalf for what they're developing and just going to move it over more?

There's just different questions we don't have any answers to and we're just kind of curious because we don't know what's going on. Thank you, sir. Yeah, staff will be able I don't know if you have their contact information. They can answer all those questions for you. Pardon me. Staff will be able to answer all those questions that you just had. All right. So, who would I who would that be?

After the meeting, I'm sure the clerk has your information or the town manager and they'll be able to reach out and get in touch and then they'll All right. So, any questions? Don't bother saying anything now or because I mean like the traffic control. We have a hard enough time getting out of the out of the property now and if they put a business in there they can put a light in right there or a roundabout or what's going to happen. They'll be able to answer all that for you sir. Absolutely.

All right. Thank you. That's it then. Thank you. Anyone else wishing to speak on this item? Seeing that I'll close public hearing. staff, did you want to address any of those comments or would you just go offline with the gentleman? [clears throat] Thank you, Mayor and Council. Um, a couple of the items that they did ask, we are aware about. Uh, that the drainage is an issue that we're aware of and we put that in a condition uh with the planning and zoning.

The traffic access we did require or put a condition in that um they'll need to get a traffic impact analysis and get it approved by ADOT. Thank you, sir. Anything else for staff? Seeing none, entertain a motion. May I'll make a motion to read ordinance number 2026-982 adopting zoning map change 26-001 by title only on two separate occasions, then place the same on final passage by electronic vote. A second. Clark, please follow up. Council member Kio, um I I'm sorry.

I didn't get I didn't hear that we could discuss this at all. Is is there a stipulation um that it must conform to exhibit A? Yes, there is. And is there a time frame stipulation for construction? I don't believe we put it on this, but we can definitely add it here. Okay. Um and what do you think would be sufficient? Um that's up for your discussion. I would I would suggest probably two years. Okay, I'm good with that. Then I will vote to approve. Mr. Norlock, I want to pause you for a moment.

Two years is not very long to put a development project like this forward. Mr. Mayor, members, yeah, I mean, you may want to extend that a little bit. Um, you know, just with what is all involved in teeing up for a major project, you've got to go through a whole design phase, you know, how they procure that on their end. Um, so just you may want to have a little bit more time.

Yeah, I would say first application within two years and we that'll be like IPR initial plan review before any true construction documents. Yeah, absolutely. If they want to come in for initial application within that's easily handable. Mr. Mayor, my motion will actually stand. I don't think a time frame right now is applicable. I do think that um that it must conform to stipulation um in general conformance is a very important. I believe that is also in there. We have a motion in a second. Mr.

Mayor and Council, we do have a motion on the table and so we need to know Council Member Ke's vote in relation to that motion. That motion hasn't been amended. Vice Mayor has the motion and a second in. Let's vote on that and then we can go forward further if we have to. I believe that's the order of operations council or clerk.
