CONSENT AGENDA, COUNCIL'S PLEASURE.

>> [INAUDIBLE]

>> SECOND.

>> MOVE AND SECOND ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSED. CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM A1.

[ Resolution No. 2024-082: Relating to Development; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the First Amendment to Payson Farms Development Agreement (Jane Fairall)]

>> ITEM A1, RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024-082, RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO PACE AND FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

>> MS. FARRELL.

>> MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

THIS ITEM IS TO DO THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PACE AND FARMS AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS ENTERED INTO IN JANUARY OF 2005.

I WOULD CHARACTERIZE IT MOSTLY AS A CLEANUP WORK TO BRING IT INTO THE CURRENT REALITY OF HOW THE DEVELOPMENT HAS GONE OVER THE LAST ALMOST 20 YEARS AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

WE HAD REZONED IT THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS LOCATED AT SANDERS AND BURNETT ROAD IN 2005 TO SIX AND ENTERED INTO THE DA AT THE SAME TIME.

BUT IN OCTOBER OF 2021, THERE WAS ANOTHER ORDINANCE ADOPTED WHICH MODIFIED CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE 2004 ORDINANCE AND MOSTLY TO CONFORM TO CURRENT POLICIES AND STANDARD CONDITIONS.

THE PROPERTY IS NOW KNOWN AS REMINGTON RANCH, AND IT'S BEING DEVELOPED AT THE CURRENT TIME BY AMERICAN HOMES FOR RENT.

THE DA AMENDMENT, I'LL JUST SUMMARIZE WHAT THE CHANGES ARE, AND IF I'D BE HAPPY TO GO INTO ANY MORE DETAIL, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING.

THERE ARE PROVISIONS IN THE ORIGINAL DA REGARDING WATER AND WASTEWATER.

THE 2021 ORDINANCE JUST INCLUDED OUR NOW STANDARD LANGUAGE THAT WE USE FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER IN TERMS OF DEVELOPING A PLAN AND ENTERING INTO A WATER SERVICE AGREEMENT OR A SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT AS REQUIRED BY THE WATER DEPARTMENT.

I WOULD CARE THOSE ARE NOT SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES, IT'S JUST LANGUAGE CHANGES THAT WILL FOLLOW THE 2021 LANGUAGE, WHICH IS OUR CURRENT LANGUAGE THAT WE USE IN OUR ORDINANCES AND DAS.

FOR THE NON-POTABLE, AGAIN, IT'S MOSTLY NON-SUBSTANTIVE, EXCEPT THAT BACK IN 2005, THE TOWN HAD NON-POTABLE WATER SERVICE.

THIS REFLECTS THAT NON-POTABLE IS NOW THROUGH CMID BECAUSE REMINGTON RANCH IS IN THE CMID SERVICE BOUNDARIES.

THERE IS ALSO A PROVISION IN THE AGREEMENT THAT WILL BE DELETED REGARDING CMID AND WORKING WITH CMID.

INSTEAD, THE AGREEMENT, THE FIRST AMENDMENT WILL SAY THAT THE DEVELOPER MUST COMPLY WITH THE CURRENT MARANA TOWN CONE SECTIONS THAT DISCUSS THAT REQUIRE UNDERGROUNDING AND ENCLOSURE OF ALL IRRIGATION DITCHES WITHIN THE PROPERTY OR ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY.

AGAIN, JUST DELETING AN OUTDATED PROVISION AND SAYING, FOLLOW CURRENT CODE.

THE AMENDMENT WILL REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER TO COMPLY WITH THE NEW STANDARDS THAT ARE IN THE MARANA TOWN CODE THAT WE ADOPTED A FEW YEARS AGO, WHICH IN THIS CASE, WOULD REQUIRE 300 SQUARE FEET PER UNIT.

IN ADDITION TO THOSE ITEMS, THE FIRST AMENDMENT ADDS A NEW PARAGRAPH THAT MEMORIALIZES THAT THE PROPERTY MUST PAY THE RANCHO MARANA WATER MAIN PROTECTED FACILITIES FEE THAT'S APPLICABLE TO THE PROPERTY.

THERE IS ALSO A PROVISION FROM THE ORIGINAL DA THAT REQUIRED THE DEVELOPER TO CONSTRUCT AND DEDICATE TO THE TOWN THE PORTIONS OF THE BARNETT CHANNEL LINEAR PARK THAT WERE LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY.

TO PAY A $1,000 PER RESIDENTIAL UNIT FEE TO THE TOWN FOR PARK PURPOSES.

[00:15:04]

THE REASON FOR THAT WAS BACK IN 2005, THAT WAS BEFORE WE HAD OUR PARKS IMPACT FEES.

THAT WAS THE REASON WHY THAT FEE WAS IN THERE.

THIS DA AMENDMENT WILL REFLECT THAT THE DEVELOPER ALREADY WITH THE RECORDING OF THE 2006 PACE AND FARMS PLAT DEDICATED ANY OF THE PROPERTY NEEDED FOR THE BARNETT CHANNEL LINEAR PARK, WHICH WAS NINE ACRES.

THAT WAS ALREADY DEDICATED TO THE TOWN IN 2006.

>> IT ELIMINATES THE $1,000 FEE I JUST MENTIONED, BECAUSE INSTEAD, THE DEVELOPER HAS TO PAY THE $2,500 PARKS IMPACT FEE PER EDU.

THE ORIGINAL DA REQUIRED A TRAIL.

BUT INSTEAD OF A TRAIL, WE AGREED THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD GRADE THE BOTTOMS AND SLOPE OF THE CHANNEL ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY AND STABILIZE THE CHANNEL TO PREVENT FUTURE EROSION UNTIL WE MAKE A DECISION OR GET THE FUNDING TO DO WHAT WE ARE ULTIMATELY GOING TO DO WITH THE BURNETT CHANNEL AND THE POSSIBLE BURNETT CHANNEL LINEAR PARK.

THEN THE ONLY OTHER ITEM IS THAT THE DA AMENDMENT WOULD EXTEND THE DA FOR 10 MORE YEARS FROM NOW.

THE ORIGINAL DA WOULD EXPIRE IN JANUARY 2025.

WE THINK 10 YEARS IS MORE TIME THAN IS NECESSARY, BUT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS TIME TO COMPLETE ALL OF THIS.

CURRENTLY, THERE ARE TWO BLOCKS OUT OF THE FOUR THAT HAVE BEEN PLATTED, AND THE OTHER TWO BLOCKS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PLATTING AT THIS TIME, SO IT'S MOVING ALONG.

ANYTHING THAT'S NOT CHANGED FROM THE ORIGINAL DA BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE.

WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> I DON'T SEE ANY. COUNCIL'S PLEASURE.

>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION, MAYOR.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER ZIEGLER.

>> I MOVE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024-0A2, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT BY PACE AND FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

>> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR?

>> AYE.

>> OPPOSED? IT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM A2.

[ Resolution No. 2024-083: Relating to Transportation; approving and adopting the Marana Transportation Master Plan (Fausto Burruel)]

>> ITEM A2, RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024-083, RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION, APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE MARANA TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN.

>> MR. BURRO?

>> YEAH, SO GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR HONEA, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. EXCUSE ME.

TONIGHT, I'M DELIGHTED TO COME BEFORE YOU, AND AFTER WHAT'S BEEN A PRETTY LONG AND CHALLENGING PROCESS, A LOT OF TECHNICAL ASPECTS TO IT, BUT VERY REWARDING AS WELL.

OUR TEAM WILL PRESENT TO THIS BODY THE FINAL TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, AND ULTIMATELY DEEMED ACCEPTABLE IF THIS BODY DOES DECIDE TO ADOPT IT, THAT IS OUR GOAL HERE TONIGHT.

FORTUNATELY, FOR ME, MY JOB IS PRETTY SIMPLE TONIGHT.

I AM HERE TO DO INTRODUCTIONS, AND I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE OUR CONSULTANT WHO IS GOING TO RUN YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS AS WE'VE GONE UNDERWAY.

AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

I KNOW THIS BODY HAS HEARD A LOT OF THAT WORK.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A SUMMARY OF THAT PROCESS, AND TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT TOOK PLACE TO GET US WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

IN A MOMENT HERE, I WILL INTRODUCE OUR CONSULTANT AND LET HER TAKE OVER.

HOWEVER, BEFORE I DO THAT, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T TAKE A MOMENT AND PROVIDE SOME ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND SOME KUDOS TO STAFF THAT DID A LOT OF THE HEAVY LIFTING OF THIS.

FIRST, I'D LIKE TO THANK DIAHN SWARTZ, OUR TOWN TRAFFIC MANAGER.

SHE WAS OUR PROJECT MANAGER IN THIS PROCESS, AND SHE DID A LOT OF WORK WITH THE CONSULTANT.

SHE WAS OUR LIAISON ON OUR SIDE.

SHE DID A LOT OF THE LOGISTICS, BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO AN EFFORT LIKE THIS, YOU'RE INCORPORATING MANY DIFFERENT AGENCIES, MANY STAKEHOLDERS FROM ALL DIFFERENT REALMS THAT WE WORKED WITH.

I'D LIKE TO GIVE KUDOS TO THEM AS WELL, BUT THERE'S SO MANY THAT I WOULD PROBABLY MISS SOMEBODY, AND I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT WANT TO DO THAT.

BUT WE ACTIVELY TALKED WITH BUSINESS COMMUNITY MEMBERS, WITH OTHER AGENCIES, WITH ADOT, WITH THE COUNTY, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, OBVIOUSLY, SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

THIS WAS WIDESPREAD, AND WE REALLY INCLUDED JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY WE CAN THINK OF THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED BY OUR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK.

BEFORE GOING TOO FAR, I DID WANT TO MENTION ONE OTHER INDIVIDUAL.

THIS INDIVIDUAL RECENTLY LEFT THE TOWN.

[00:20:03]

HE DECIDED TO PURSUE RETIREMENT AS HIS NEXT STEP.

STEVE CIESLAK, OUR PLANNING MANAGER WHO RECENTLY LEFT US.

HE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME ON THIS EFFORT AS WELL, AND ACTUALLY HIM AND DIAHN SAT AT PORTIONS OF TIME AND USED THEIR EXPERTISE AND HELPED TO CLEAN AND POLISH SOME OF THE AREAS OF THE REPORT THAT WE JUST LOOKED AT, AND WE WORKED WITH OUR CONSULTANT AND DID A LITTLE BIT OF TWEAKS WITH SOME OF THE WAY THE REPORT WAS DRAFTED AND SOME OF THAT, AND REALLY PLAYED A HUGE ROLE.

AGAIN, DIAHN AND STEVE DID A LOT WITH THAT.

SOME OF THE OTHER KUDOS I WANT TO PUT OUT THERE IS TO OUR CITIZENS WHO PLAYED AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THIS EFFORT.

TONIGHT, YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THE SURVEY RESULTS AND THE SURVEYS THAT WE HAD DONE.

I THINK YOU RECALL, WE DID AN INITIAL SURVEY, IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 1,300 SUBMITTALS, WHICH IS HUGE.

AS WE WERE NEAR TO WRAPPING THIS UP, WE DID RECEIVE INPUT AS FAR AS THE POLISHED DOCUMENT, THE FINAL DRAFT, AND SOME INPUT FROM THERE AS WELL.

AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO THANK OUR CITIZENS, AND NOT ONLY OUR CITIZENS, BUT THOSE THAT SUBMITTED INPUT FROM THE SURVEY.

JUST MAKING SURE I'M CATCHING EVERYBODY. I HAVE SOME NOTES HERE.

YEAH, THE OTHER KUDOS I'D LIKE TO EXTEND IS TO OUR INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS TEAM AND ALSO THEIR EFFORTS, BECAUSE I'M SURE MOST OF YOU'VE NOTICED, BUT THE MEDIA REALLY GRASPS THIS EFFORT AND REALLY HIGHLIGHTED IT.

AT THE BEGINNING, UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO DO A FEW INTERVIEWS, ENDED UP ON THE NEWS.

I HOPE YOU DIDN'T CATCH THAT.

BUT RECENTLY, DIAHN HERSELF WAS ON SEVERAL INTERVIEWS WITH OUR LOCAL MEDIA, SO THOSE MADE THE EVENING NEWS, ALONG WITH DOING PODCASTS.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THAT INFORMATION AGAIN.

BUT AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO EXTEND THOSE EFFORTS BECAUSE WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH THOSE EXTERNAL MEDIA SOURCES, THAT REALLY HELPED HIGHLIGHT OUR EFFORTS HERE IN THE TOWN AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE WITH THIS DOCUMENT.

LASTLY, I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK TOWN MANAGEMENT AND TO THANK TOWN COUNCIL FOR YOUR GUIDANCE AND YOUR SUPPORT IN THIS ENDEAVOR, UNDERSTANDING THE NEED TO HAVE OUR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK READY FOR TODAY, BUT ALSO LOOKING FORWARD AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW AND EVOLVE.

AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE CHALLENGED AS WE GROW AS A MUNICIPALITY, AND WE CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN POPULATION.

WE NEED TO HAVE THE NETWORK READY TO RECEIVE THAT TRAFFIC.

WITH THAT, I WILL PASS THE MIC OVER TO PHYLLIS DAVIS, WHO'S WITH KITTELSON & ASSOCIATES, AND WAS OUR LEAD CONSULTANT ON THIS ENDEAVOR. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, I'M PHYLLIS DAVIS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

I'M HONORED TO REPRESENT A LOT OF MEMBERS OF TOWN STAFF AND THE CONSULTING TEAM THAT PUT IN A LOT OF PERSONAL TIME, AND ENERGY, AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE INTO THIS PLAN.

OOPS, ONE SECOND.

LET ME GO TO THE BEGINNING.

PERFECT. A TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, ULTIMATELY, IT REALLY HELPS GUIDE TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT DECISIONS FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PLAN, IT WAS REALLY INFORMED BY PREVIOUS PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BY THE TOWN, AS WELL AS THE GENERAL PLAN, BUT LARGELY THE PLAN WAS REALLY DEVELOPED BASED ON FEEDBACK WE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY, INPUT FROM INTERNAL TOWN STAFF, AS WELL AS FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNCIL.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, AS I SAID, IT DOES INFORM INVESTMENT DECISIONS FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS.

THE GOAL WOULD BE THIS HELPS INFORM UPDATES TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

AS DEVELOPMENTS COME INTO MARANA, IT WOULD HELP INFORM WHAT TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE MADE, AS WELL AS ANY FUTURE TRANSPORTATION PLANS.

THIS WILL SERVE AS THE BASE FOR THOSE.

THE STUDY PROCESS.

THIS BREAKS IT DOWN INTO THREE EASY PHASES.

I CAN GAUGE BY FOSTER'S INTRODUCTION THAT IT WAS A LOT MORE DIFFICULT THAN JUST THESE THREE EASY PHASES THAT YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN.

BUT THE BEGINNING OF THE PLAN WAS REALLY SETTING UP TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MARANA TODAY.

WE DID A FULL ASSESSMENT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR MULTI MODAL SYSTEM.

WE WENT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO HEAR WHAT NEEDS AND ISSUES THEY'RE SEEING TODAY AND WHAT THEY SEE AS NEEDS OR CONCERNS IN THE FUTURE.

WE ALSO HAD A ROUND OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COUNCIL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT CONCERNS YOU ARE SEEING AS WELL.

ONCE WE GATHER THIS EXISTING CONDITIONS NEEDS ASSESSMENT,

[00:25:04]

THEN WE IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS.

YOU COULD THINK OF THIS REALLY AS KIND OF A WISH LIST OF PROJECTS OR IMPROVEMENTS FOR MARANA FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS.

THAT LARGE WISH LIST OF POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS WAS THEN VETTED WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS, SO LOCAL BUSINESSES, OUR PLANNING PARTNERS AT THE COUNTY, LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, AND ADA, AS WELL AS, IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER, WE HAD A WORKSHOP AS WELL WITH THE COUNCIL TO TALK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE IDEAS.

FINALLY, THESE LARGE WISH LIST ITEMS BASED ON ALL THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY HEARD AND INPUT FROM TOWN STAFF.

WE THEN PHASED OUT THESE IMPROVEMENTS TO IDENTIFY WHAT ARE REALLY THE SHORT TERM PRIORITIES, AND THEN WHAT ARE THESE LONG TERM SOLUTION AND NEEDS.

THIS AGAIN WENT OUT TO THE PUBLIC FOR FEEDBACK AND INPUT.

WE ALSO HAD ANOTHER WORKSHOP WITH THE COUNCIL TO WALK THROUGH THOSE TWO.

BASED ON THAT FEEDBACK, THEN WE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PLAN TO ADDRESS ANY ISSUES OR CONCERNS THAT WE HEARD.

I'LL JUST WALK THROUGH QUICKLY. DON'T WORRY.

I WON'T WALK THROUGH EVERY PAGE OF THE TMP, BUT I'LL JUST GO THROUGH WHAT'S INCLUDED WITHIN THE TMP.

THE VERY BEGINNING IS JUST A PLAN INTRODUCTION THAT REALLY JUST HIGHLIGHTS WHAT IS THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, WHAT ARE THE PURPOSE AND NEEDS AND THE VISION AND GOALS FOR TRANSPORTATION IN MARANA.

THEN WE GO THROUGH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MARANA TODAY AND TOMORROW, CHAPTERS 2 AND 3.

THIS PRESENTS JUST AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S CURRENTLY THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, WHAT IS PERFORMING, WHAT ARE THE ISSUES AND CONCERNS, AS WELL AS WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR SYSTEM GOING FORWARD.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN THAT THE STATE DEMOGRAPHER'S OFFICE IS PROJECTING THAT POPULATION WITHIN THE TOWN OF MARANA IS GOING TO MORE THAN DOUBLE BY 2055.

WE REALLY NEED TO EVALUATE WHAT ARE THESE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS SO WE CAN SUSTAIN THIS GROWTH AND BE READY FOR THIS GROWTH AS IT OCCURS.

THAT IMAGE ON THE BOTTOM JUST SHOWS IF NO ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE, WE KEEP EXACTLY WHAT THERE IS TODAY IN MARANA, WHAT ARE THE CONGESTION LEVELS? RED IS BAD, AS NORMALLY AS WE LOOK AT IT.

YOU CAN START TO SEE A LOT OF RED ON OUR CORRIDORS OF THESE CONGESTION LEVELS INCREASING.

THE GOAL OF THE TMP IS TO HELP ADDRESS THAT MAJOR CONGESTION AS GROWTH OCCURS.

THE NEXT CHAPTER IS TO WALK THROUGH WHAT WE HEARD FROM COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK.

AS FAUSTO SAID, THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT, PARTICULARLY VIC HATHAWAY AND MANAGOMA DID AN AMAZING JOB OF ADVERTISING AND MARKETING THIS PLAN.

WE HAD AN AMAZING SURVEY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH THIS PLAN.

WE HAD 107 PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO RECEIVE PROJECT UPDATES.

I WILL SAY I'VE WORKED ON TMPS ACROSS ARIZONA, AND THIS IS THE HIGHEST NUMBER I'VE EVER RECEIVED ON A PLAN.

THIS JUST SHOWS THE KUDOS THAT NEED TO BE GIVEN TO THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM AND DIAHN AND FAUSTO.

WE HAD ABOUT 1,200 SURVEYS COMPLETED, AND THEN ADDITIONAL 233 MAP COMMENTS.

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WERE ABLE TO ZOOM IN ON A MAP, IDENTIFY SPECIFIC LOCATIONS THAT THEY'RE FACING ISSUES TODAY OR THEY SEE AS CONCERNS IN THE FUTURE.

THIS IS A REALLY GREAT TOOL FOR THE TOWN TO HAVE JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN ZOOM IN TO SEE WHAT ARE THESE HOT SPOT LOCATIONS THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS.

I HIGHLIGHTED JUST ONE SURVEY RESULT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS WAS REALLY INTERESTING.

WE ASKED JUST, WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE GREATEST TRANSPORTATION NEED IN THE TOWN TODAY? YOU CAN SEE THOSE THREE BARS THAT ARE A LOT LARGER THAN THE BOTTOM BARS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE, AND I APOLOGIZE, I KNOW IT'S SMALL, BUT THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE BIGGEST NEEDS ARE : REDUCING CONGESTION ON OUR ROADS, REDUCING CONGESTION AT I10 AND OUR I10 INTERCHANGES, AS WELL AS MAINTAINING EXISTING ROADWAY.

THEY REALLY SEE A NEED OF FIXING CONGESTION ISSUES.

THEN YOU ADD ON THAT SLIDE BEFORE WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT GROWTH IS HAPPENING.

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF THESE TRANSPORTATION DECISIONS ON THEIR DAILY COMMUTING DRIVES.

CHAPTERS 5 AND 6 AFTER THIS WALK THROUGH THE ACTUAL RECOMMENDATIONS GOING FORWARD.

IT'S BROKEN DOWN INTO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SUBSECTIONS, IF YOU WILL.

IT GOES THROUGH WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS WE MADE FOR THE TRAFFIC INTERCHANGES, MAJOR ROADWAY MAINTENANCE PROJECTS, CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS, AS WELL AS INTERSECTION AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.

[00:30:03]

FROM A MULTI MODAL PERSPECTIVE, WE'VE BROKEN DOWN PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS, AS WELL AS BICYCLE AND MULTI USE PATHS.

THEN WE HAVE ALSO EVALUATED POTENTIAL TRANSIT CONNECTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

FOR EACH ONE OF THESE SUB PROJECT AREAS, WE'VE ALSO PRIORITIZED THESE IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS INTO TIERS, INTO SHORT, MID, AND LONG.

THE SHORT TERM PROJECTS ARE LOOKING AT WITHIN THE NEXT 1-6 YEAR TIME FRAME.

THESE ARE REALLY THOSE CORE CRITICAL NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE MAJOR CONCERNS THAT WE'RE HEARING AND SEEING THROUGH DATA ANALYSIS.

THE GOAL OF THESE SHORT TERM PROJECTS WOULD BE FOR THE TOWN TO IDENTIFY FUNDING SOURCES, START TO EARMARK THESE PROJECTS FOR FUNDING GOING FORWARD, SO THESE CAN START TO GET PROGRAMMED AND PUT IN OUT TO BID IN CONSTRUCTION.

THE MID TERM BUILDS OFF THOSE SHORT TERM SOLUTIONS TO EXPAND AND ENHANCE THE MULTI MODAL NETWORK.

THEN THE LONG TERM SOLUTIONS REALLY CREATE A LONGER VISION OF IMPROVEMENT NEEDS TO 2055.

THE LONG TERM HORIZON YEAR INCLUDES A LOT OF MORE HIGHER COST PROJECTS OR PROJECTS THAT WILL COME ABOUT AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS.

I'M JUST GOING TO SNAPSHOT A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES FOR YOU.

THIS IS A TRAFFIC INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS.

AS YOU FLIP THROUGH THE TMP, EACH ONE OF THOSE SUB PROJECT AREAS WILL HAVE A TABLE, AS WELL AS A MAP ILLUSTRATING THEIR LOCATIONS.

ANYTHING THAT IS A ORANGE DOT OR ORANGE LINE WILL BE A SHORT TERM SOLUTION, SO THAT'S THAT ONE TO SIX YEAR TIME FRAME.

ANYTHING THAT IS THE BLUE IS A MID TERM AND THE GREEN IS THAT LONGER TERM NEED WITHIN MARANA.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE TRAFFIC INTERCHANGE, IT'S GOT A VARIETY OF SHORT TERM SOLUTIONS THAT HAVE INTERIM IMPROVEMENT NEEDS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO DO THE ULTIMATE VISIONS IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.

MANY OF THESE SOLUTIONS INCLUDE AN INTERIM APPROACH, AND THEN BUILDING OFF THAT IN THE MID TERM WOULD BE BUILDING OUT TO THE FULL IMPROVEMENT OF A TRAFFIC INTERCHANGE.

FOR A ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS; SAME STORY.

WE HAVE THE COLOR CODING OF THE ORANGE TO GREEN, IF YOU WILL.

FOR THESE, THE SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENTS ARE REALLY, AGAIN, HIGHLIGHTING THESE CORE CAPACITY OR NEW ROADWAY NEEDS UP TO THE LONG TERM DEVELOPING NEW ROADS OR FOR WINDING CORRIDORS.

THESE ARE PARTICULARLY AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS ALONG CORRIDORS OR WITHIN SUB AREAS TO ADDRESS THOSE CAPACITY NEEDS.

FROM A MULTI-MODAL STANDPOINT, THIS IS JUST ONE SNAPSHOT, BUT WE DO HAVE MAPS FOR PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE IMPROVEMENTS.

FOR THESE, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FROM A SHORT TERM SOLUTION, FILL IN GAPS, WHERE THE BIKE FACILITIES MAY DEAD END, OR THE SIDEWALKS MAY DEAD END AND THEY PICK UP DOWN THE ROAD.

OR THERE MIGHT BE A CRITICAL GAP BETWEEN A CERTAIN KEY ACTIVITY CENTER OR A LOOP TO EXISTING PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES UP INTO THE LONG TERM SOLUTIONS, WHERE IT'S LOOKING FOR NEW FACILITIES, MAYBE A NEW TRAIL, NEW PATH WITHIN THE TOWN.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE WITH A LOT OF THE MULTI MODAL IMPROVEMENTS.

THE ERS ARE ALSO CONNECTED WITH THE ROADWAY CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS.

AS ROADS ARE BEING REDEVELOPED; IT WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE TMP THAT PEDESTRIAN BICYCLE IMPROVEMENTS BE ALSO INCORPORATED IN THOSE ROADWAY RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

YOU'RE GOING OUT THERE AND DIGGING ONCE, YOU'RE NOT DIGGING TWICE FOR A PROJECT.

ONE LAST PART OF THAT TOO.

AT THE END OF CHAPTER 7 AND 8, 7 HIGHLIGHTS FREIGHT MOVEMENTS AND GOODS MOVEMENTS WITHIN THE TOWN AND IDENTIFIES A NETWORK OF FREIGHT CORRIDORS THAT NEED TO BE IN CONSIDERATION GOING FORWARD DURING ROADWAY DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENTS, AS WELL AS AVIATION NEEDS FROM A CIRCULATION ELEMENT AS WELL AS AT THE AIRPORT.

THEN THE LAST CHAPTER, MOVING FORWARD, IS JUST AN IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE THAT HELPS THE TOWN LOOK THROUGH WHAT ARE SOME FUNDING SOURCES THAT WE COULD LOOK AT, WHAT ARE THE NEXT IMPLEMENTATION STEPS THAT WE NEED FROM THE TMP.

AS FAUSTO SAID, WE DID SEND OUT THE DRAFT FINAL REPORT TO THE PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDERS FOR INPUT,

[00:35:03]

AND WE DID MAKE A COUPLE OF ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON WHAT WE HEARD.

BUT AGAIN, KUDOS TO THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM AND FAUSTO AND DIAHN FOR REALLY HELP SPREADING THE WORD AND MARKETING THE DRAFT FINAL REPORT.

WE SENT IT OUT TO ALL 107 PEOPLE THAT WERE ON OUR LIST SERVE.

WE SENT IT OUT TO ALL THE PREVIOUS STAKEHOLDERS AND PLANNING PARTNERS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN FOCUS GROUP MEETINGS.

WE ALSO HAD A REAL TALK PODCAST, IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

DIAHN DID A GREAT JOB.

DIAHN AND FAUSTO HAVE BECOME THE LOCAL CELEBRITIES FOR THIS PLAN.

WE HAD A COUPLE ADDITIONAL EVENING NEWSCAST WITH DIAHN SPEAKING THIS TIME.

I'M JUST HIGHLIGHTING THE TMP.

I COULD ALWAYS SEE A NOTICE IN THE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AFTER THESE PODCAST OR THE NEWSCASTS AIRED.

I WOULD IMMEDIATELY GET NEW EMAILS AND SURVEYS RESULTS.

AGAIN, KUDOS TO THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM.

BASED ON THE INPUT THAT WE DID RECEIVE FROM THE PUBLIC; THERE WERE A COUPLE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE MADE FROM TO THE TMP THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT THAT YOU GUYS HEAR.

I'LL JUST GO OVER A COUPLE OF THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK THAT WE HEARD.

ONE WAS JUST A LOT OF SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXISTING CONDITION OR EXISTING CONGESTION, EXCUSE ME, ISSUES I-10, AND THEY REALLY SUPPORTED THE RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN THE TMP.

IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO HEAR THAT KIND OF VALIDATION.

WE REALLY HIGHLIGHTED AS WELL THAT WITHIN THE TMP.

ANY OF THESE TRAFFIC INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS SHOULD INCLUDE GRADE SEPARATION IN THE FUTURE.

THIS IS HELPING ADDRESS A LOT OF THOSE KEY CHALLENGES AND ISSUES THAT WE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC.

WE ALSO HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST SAY THEY AGREED WITH OUR MULTI MODAL IMPROVEMENTS, BUT THEN ALSO JUST ASKING FOR MORE, THAT THEY REALLY WANT MORE BIKE FACILITIES AND MORE SIDEWALKS, MORE CONNECTIVITY TO THE LOOP.

THE TMP DOES INCLUDE A SUITE OF MULTI-MODAL IMPROVEMENTS.

BASED ON SOME FEEDBACK THAT WE HEARD, WE DID ADD IN A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL CROSSING EVALUATIONS AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS.

WE ALSO HEARD A LOT OF FEEDBACK ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSIT AND THE NEED FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT.

AFTER TALKING WITH THE INTERNAL TEAM; WE AGREED THAT TESTING MICRO-TRANSIT SERVICE, WHICH IS TAKING THE CURRENT DIAL-A-RIDE AND MAKING IT MORE LIKE YOUR UBER, WHERE IT'S AN ON-DEMAND, WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD PILOT TEST PROGRAM TO GAUGE IF THERE IS A DEMAND FOR ADDITIONAL PUBLIC TRANSIT IN MARANA.

BUT THEN ALSO, AS THE TOWN CONTINUES TO GROW, AND DENSITIES INCREASE TO CONDUCT AN TRANSIT MASTER PLAN LATER DOWN THE ROAD TO REALLY ADDRESS WHAT THOSE KIND OF CRITICAL TRANSIT NEEDS ARE.

THEN ALSO JUST A CONCERN FOR THE LARGE NUMBER OF PROJECTS AND THE FUNDING AVAILABILITY.

I'M SAD TO SAY THAT WITH THE DELIVERY OF THIS PLAN, A MONEY TREE THAT YOU CAN PLANT TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING DOES NOT COME WITH IT.

BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT CONCERN.

THAT'S WHY WE PHASED OUT THOSE PROJECTS.

THOSE SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENTS ARE REALLY THOSE PRIORITY NEEDS FOR THE TOWN TO REALLY FOCUS ON.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AS YOU INTEGRATE THE TNP TO THINK OF IT AS A LIVING DOCUMENT.

AS GROWTH OCCURS, AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS, YOU NEED TO GO BACK IN TO THIS PLAN AND LOOK AT THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND RE-EVALUATE WHAT PROJECTS ARE REALLY NEEDED.

THE LAST TIME THIS PLAN WAS CONDUCTED WAS, I BELIEVE IN 2011.

A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN.

I HOPE THAT THE TOWN DOESN'T WAIT AS LONG NEXT TIME TO REDO THIS PLAN TO RE-EVALUATE THE NEEDS.

WITH THAT, ONCE AGAIN, JUST WANT TO SAY A BIG KUDOS AND THANK YOU TO THE TOWN OF MARANA STAFF THAT HAVE PUT IN A LOT OF THEIR PERSONAL TIME, DEDICATION TO THIS PLAN TO MAKE IT SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL.

I THINK SOMETHING THAT WORKS FOR A MULTITUDE OF THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS TO HELP CARRY FORWARD WHAT THE TRANSPORTATION VISION FOR MARANA CAN BE.

WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN UP WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT THE COUNCIL HAVE.

>> I HAVE A COMMENT.

ONE OF THE THINGS BECAUSE OUR TOWN IS GROWING SO QUICKLY, AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT HERE NOW IS, WHAT I HEAR THE MOST ABOUT IS INGRESS AND EGRESS OFF THE FREEWAY.

AT TANGERINE AND EVEN IN NORTH MARANA AT MARANA ROAD NOW IS WE'RE PILING A BUNCH OF PEOPLE UP ON THE FREEWAY,

[00:40:03]

AND I DIDN'T SEE EVERY DETAIL IN THE PLAN, BUT I'M HOPING WE CAME UP WITH IDEOLOGY TO MAYBE HAVE A DOUBLE EXIT OFF THE FREEWAY OR SOMETHING TO STACK MORE CARS OFF THE FREEWAY THAN ON THE FREEWAY.

>> AS PART OF THE PLAN, WE DO HAVE THE TI IMPROVEMENTS, BUT WE ALSO LOOK AT FRONTAGE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, AND MAKE IT TWO LANES, ONE WAY IN EACH DIRECTION, SO IT'LL HELP WITH THAT FLOW.

WE DID DO TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AT THE INTERCHANGES, AND IT DOES HELP IMPROVE FLOWS AT THE TI.

I THINK THAT MAY ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER, OKAY.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I HAVE A CONCERN.

WHEN WE HAVE CLOSURE ON I-10, AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO ADDRESS, SHARING INFORMATION WITH ADOT AND STATE TROOPER TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A PLAN WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO WHICH DIRECTION ARE WE GOING.

WE SHOULD HAVE OFFICERS OR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT DIRECTING TRAFFIC.

IT'S QUITE A PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE GOING OVER ALL AROUND TOWN HERE AND TRYING TO FIND THE BEST WAY TO GET HOME.

>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

>> I HOPE THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THAT PROBLEM AND GET THAT RESOLVED IN A ORDERLY MANNER, I GUESS.

IT JUST SEEMED LIKE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY DO A GOOD JOB IN THE TRAFFIC, BUT THERE HAS TO BE A PLAN.

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO MOVE TRAFFIC, AND WHY SHOULD WE HAVE OFFICERS STATIONED AND THIS AND THAT.

I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT AS PART OF OUR TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN.

>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I WILL SAY ADOT HAS BEEN A REALLY GREAT PARTNER THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.

I KNOW DIAHN AND FAUSTO TALK TO THEM FREQUENTLY, SO ABSOLUTELY.

>> GREAT. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER ZIEGLER.

>> THANK YOU, PHYLLIS FOR BEING HERE AND TALKING WITH US AGAIN ON THIS.

AGAIN, I WAS ASKED IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS, WHAT'S THE MOST CRITICAL POSITION ON RUNNING FOR COUNCIL PROBLEM IN THE TOWN OF MARANA? TO ME, OTHER CANDIDATES MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT DIFFERENTLY IS TRANSPORTATION OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

IT'S NOT JUST, HEY, LET'S DO THIS, AND IT'S NICE, WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

BUT IT'S DANGEROUS NOW.

IT'S PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY.

SAFETY BEING, OF COURSE, WHAT IT IS, HEALTH BEING.

IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING, THERE'S GOING TO START REALLY BEING SOME ISSUES, AND WE'RE LUCKY NOT TO HAVE AS MANY ISSUES AS WE ARE HAVING.

TERRY, WE'RE NOT DISCUSSING THIS.

I KNOW, TO ME, THE SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENTS FOCUS ON PRIORITY NEEDS.

THAT'S WHAT I THINK OUR COUNCIL SHOULD BE DOING AND OUR STAFF, TOO.

THANK YOU FAUSTO FOR GIVING ME THE FOUR INCH STUFF LIKE THIS TO READ.

I DID NOT READ AT ALL.

THAT'S OVERWHELMING.

BUT JUST BEING AROUND FOR MANY YEARS, TO ME, THIS TOWN AND OUR COUNCIL AND THE STAFF, THIS SHOULD BE OUR NUMBER 1 PRIORITY.

WE HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE AGAIN, RESIDENTS, I'M TALKING ABOUT RESIDENTS.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF STUDIES, AND I APPRECIATE THIS BECAUSE THIS REALLY BRINGS IT OUT.

WITH THAT SAID, I KNOW WE HAVE SOME SHORT TERM PLANS FOR TANGERINE.

I KNOW WE HAVE SOME SHORT TERM PLANS FOR RENA EXIT.

IF WE CAN DO ANYTHING TO EXPEDITE THOSE, AGAIN, I THINK, COUNCIL MEMBER COMERFORD, I WAS GOING TO SAY PATTI, BROUGHT THIS UP A YEAR OR SO AGO, OR I THINK, TANGERINE.

THAT'S JUST CRITICAL NOW.

THAT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL.

YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE COMING OFF THERE.

CHIEF, YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE STUFF IN THE PAPER.

PEOPLE ARE GOING ONTO THE SHOULDER TO GET OFF OFF OF I-10.

I WASN'T GOING TO DO THAT, BUT I DID IT BECAUSE WHEN I SEE THE 65 MILE AN HOUR OF PEOPLE BEHIND ME.

THEN WE'VE GOT FOLKS SAYING, YOU SHOULDN'T BE ON THE SHOULDER, THAT'S ILLEGAL.

I WENT BACK AND SAID, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF IT'S ILLEGAL, I WANT TO LIVE.

PEOPLE ARE GETTING OFF AND THAT WAS FROM NOT OUR POLICE, BUT SOMEONE THAT ENTERED INTERVIEWED HIGHWAY PATROLMAN.

HE SAID, OH, NO, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GET ON THE SHOULDER.

WELL, EVERYBODY'S GETTING ON THE SHOULDER, AND I'M GETTING ON THE SHOULDER.

THEN THAT, OF COURSE, CAUSES PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TURN RIGHT DOWN THERE INSTEAD OF LEFT,

[00:45:02]

THEY'RE ON THE SHOULDER, TOO, SO THEY CAN GO FASTER.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING, FAUSTO, TO ME, THIS IS THE NUMBER 1 ISSUE IN THIS TOWN.

I THINK OUR RESIDENTS HAVE SAID IT.

THIS IS GREAT. THIS KIND OF PUTS IT DOWN.

THANK YOU FOR THIS INSTEAD OF THE FOUR-INCH BINDER, FAUSTO. THIS IS NICE.

BUT ANYWAY; IT'S JUST DANGEROUS.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT CORTARO BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL RIGHT NOW.

I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE A POSITION ON THE RTA AND TAKE BACK, COME FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH ON RTA.

THEY'VE RUN US AROUND FOR THREE AND HALF YEARS.

CORTARO NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

IF WE CONTINUE DOWN THIS SAME PATH; IT WILL NOT GET FIXED.

THAT'S ANOTHER AREA AND I'M JUST GETTING MORE SPECIFIC NOW. BUT THANK YOU FOR THIS.

HOW DO I SAY THIS? THE LONG TERM PLAN, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR US BECAUSE OF THE MONEY INVOLVED.

I THINK FAUSTO, YOU'RE SUCKING OUR MONEY DOWN, CRAZY WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS.

BUT IT'S SUCH AN EXPENSIVE THING TO DO, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT AGAIN, WE CANNOT TAKE OUR EYES OFF THE BALL AND BACK TO SPEEDING.

SORRY, CHIEF. IT KIND OF GOES HAND IN HAND.

I NOTICED THAT NOW WHEN I'M DRIVING.

WE'RE JUST BEHIND.

AS THE MAYOR SAID, WE HAD GROWTH THAT WE DID NOT ANTICIPATE.

WE ANTICIPATED GROWTH; BUT NOT LIKE THIS.

I UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE IN THIS POSITION, BUT WE NEED TO GET OUT OF IT AND DO SOME OF THE, I THINK, THESE SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

>> THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER COMERFORD.

>> I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT MORE LIKE FIVE-INCH BOOK.

>> WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU IS, HOW LONG HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN WORKING ON THIS? IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR.

>> APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS. YOU EVER TAKE A LITTLE BIT.

>> THIS IS NOT NEW, SOMETHING I'VE BEEN SAYING SINCE THE DAY I GOT ON THIS COUNCIL IS YOU GUYS WORK ON SOMETHING FOR 18 MONTHS DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY.

YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF DUTIES.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO US, WE'RE BROUGHT IN EITHER ONCE FOUR TIMES MAYBE OVER THE ENTIRE TIME.

WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU IS I WANT TO FIRST APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THROUGH THE FIVE INCHES.

>> I'LL NEVER GET THROUGH A PATH?

>> NO. I READ THE FIRST CHAPTER AND MY EYES ARE GROWING CROSS EYED. I'M NOT AN EXPERT.

I DON'T PRETEND TO BE, BUT I REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS AND I REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE ALL SAYING ARE IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE.

THIS IS PROBABLY JUST, IN MY OPINION, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT WITH THE TOWN OF MARANA IN YEARS.

THIS IS IMPORTANT STUFF.

AND I DON'T WANT TO, SPEAKING FOR ME, JUST LOOKS GOOD.

I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IT, AND I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT SO YOU WON'T BE GETTING A VOTE OUT OF ME TONIGHT.

IF THE REST GOES, THEN THEY GO.

BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND AND IF THIS IS REALLY FOR ALL STAFF AND TERRY AND ERIC AND EVEN JANE.

THE THING IS, IS YOU GUYS WORK AND WORK AND WORK, AND YOU WORK HARD ON THIS STUFF AND THEN YOU GAVE US THIS PLAN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

I PICK IT UP AND I'M READING, AND I'M TOSSING THROUGH THE PAGES AND WHAT DID I JUST READ? AND I GOT TO GO BACK AND READ IT AGAIN. I NEED MORE TIME.

JUST SAYING, SORRY TO BURST ANY BUBBLES, I'M JUST SAYING AND IT'S NOT ABOUT TRUST.

IT'S NOT ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S JUST THAT YOU GUYS WORK SO HARD ON THIS STUFF FOR SO LONG. YOU GET IT.

I WANT TO GET IT TOO AND I WANT MR. CAVANAUGH TO GET A COPY OF IT BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT.

YOU NEED TO GET A COPY OF THIS SO THAT HE'S UP TO DATE WITH WHAT'S COMING ACROSS.

AND I AGREE WITH WHAT EVERYBODY HAS SAID.

IT'S IMPORTANT. AND FOR ME,

[00:50:01]

WHAT BECOMES SUPER IMPORTANT ARE THINGS THAT DO BECOME A HEALTH SAFETY ISSUE.

AND THE SAFETY ISSUE IS WHEN I SEE CARS BACKED UP ON TO THE FREEWAY AND I DON'T CARE IF IT'S ONE TIME A DAY FOR AN HOUR OR WHATEVER.

THAT'S JUST WRONG.

I KNOW IT'S NOT 100% OF US.

I KNOW ADOTT IS IN THERE, TOO, BUT I'M THE PERSON THAT'S NOT GOING TO TAKE IT WELL AS SOMEBODY GETS KILLED ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

LITTLE DRAMA, BUT WE KNOW ABOUT IT, AND IT'S STILL HAPPENING.

AND THAT AND THAT IT'S GETTING WORSE, NOT GETTING BETTER BECAUSE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE MOVING IN HERE.

SO HAVING SAID THAT, IF THE REST OF THE COUNCIL IS GOOD WITH THE PLAN AND THEY'RE READY TO MOVE IT ON, YOU GOT THREE.

YOU GOT A MAJORITY HERE.

GREAT, BUT I WANTED TO EXPLAIN WHY MY VOTE WOULD BE NO.

I WANT TO GIVE CREDIT TO ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND I WANT TO UNDERSTAND. THAT'S ALL MAYOR.

>> WELL, ANYBODY ELSE GOT ANY MORE QUESTIONS? COUNCIL'S PLEASURE.

>> MISTER MAYOR. SORRY. BEFORE I MAKE THE MOTION, PATTI, I AGREE WITH YOU 100%.

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO THROUGH THIS, THIS I CAN DO.

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE BINDER.

HOWEVER, I AM GOING TO ASK FOR APPROVAL, AND THE REASON IS, I'LL NEVER GET THROUGH THE BINDER.

AND SO I'M JUST GOING TO SIT UP HERE AND CONTINUE TO PUSH AND PUSH AND PUSH.

I UNDERSTAND IT'S 2011 SINCE THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS. SHAME ON US.

SO WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO UPDATE THAT AND NOT TOWARDS FAUSTO, IT'S JUST WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING SOMETHING A LONG TIME AGO.

I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE IT OR I'M SORRY, I READ THE MOTION.

BUT PATTI, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I WILL NEVER GET THROUGH IT.

BUT THE THING I WILL BE DOING IS CONTINUALLY PUSHING US TO GET THINGS DONE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT'S IN THIS PLAN AT THIS POINT.

I THINK IT'S DONE VERY WELL.

BUT WHAT WE NEED NOW IS TO HAVE ACTION AND IF WE CAN MOVE UP ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY ON TANGERINE MARANA EXIT, GUTERO IS ANOTHER, WE WON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THAT.

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT TO WHERE.

>> ARE YOU OKAY, MAYOR?

>> YEAH.

>> SHOULD I GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION OR?

>> GO AHEAD.

>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2024-083 APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE MARANA TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN.

>> YOU HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND TO GET A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> AYE.

>> AYE. OPPOSED?

>> I'M JUST GOING TO ABSTAIN.

>> OPPOSED.

>> YOU'RE OPPOSED?

>> YEAH. WE GOT TWO AND ONE ABSTAIN.

MS. FARRELL. WHERE AM I?

>> MR. MAYOR, THAT MEANS THAT THE MOTION FAILS.

>> JANE. WE CAN BRING IT BACK, OBVIOUSLY.

>> MR. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER COMERFORD.

YES, WE COULD HAVE A MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION BY EITHER YOURSELF OR COUNCIL MEMBER KAI.

AND TO DO THAT, IT HAS TO THE REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION NEEDS TO BE MADE BEFORE THE START OF THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER 17 AND THEN THE RECONSIDERATION WILL BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE SECOND REGULAR TOWN COUNCIL MEETING AFTER THIS ONE, SO THAT WOULD BE OCTOBER THE FIRST MEETING.

>> DO THAT NOW OR?

>> YOU CAN, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO.

>> YEAH, THAT'LL GIVE US ANOTHER MONTH AND THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS NOT IMPORTANT.

I AGREE WITH ROXANNE 100%, THE SOONER, THE BETTER.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS MISSING TONIGHT.

I THINK THERE'S SOME VALUE IN WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER TO.

JANE, I'LL GO AHEAD AND MOTION TO DO THAT.

>> I'LL SECOND THAT.

>> MR. MAYOR, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A MOTION.

[00:55:02]

JUST ANY COUNCIL MEMBER THAT WAS ON THE PREVAILING SIDE CAN REQUEST THAT THE ISSUE OF RECONSIDERATION BE PLACED.

>> IS VERBAL OKAY?

>> YES. THIS IS FINE.

>> THANK YOU.

>> DON'T WALK AWAY LIKE YOU THINK YOU DID BAD.

YOU DID GOOD, SO GOOD.

>> ITEM D1.

[ Relating to Development and Public Works; update, discussion, and possible direction regarding public and private projects and development applications on the Town’s Marana Current and Proposed Projects internet site (Jason Angell)]

>> ITEM D1, RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS, DATE, DISCUSSION, AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION REGARDING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROJECTS AND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS ON THE TOWN'S MARANA CURRENT AND PROPOSED PROJECTS INTERNET SITE.

>> ONLY GOOD NEWS, MR. ANGEL.

>> THAT'S A TOUGH ONE TO FOLLOW.

WE TALKED ABOUT TRANSPORTATION.

NOW I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S CAUSING ALL OF THIS.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

AS WE DO THE FIRST MEETING OF EVERY MONTH, WE DO AN UPDATE ON DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY.

THERE'S JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE, AND I DO WANT TO APOLOGIZE WITH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND THIS BEING THE FIRST DAY.

WE DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING UP TO DATE.

WE HAVE ALL THE PROJECTS ON HERE.

IT'S JUST THE MAP HASN'T BEEN UPDATED, AND YOU'LL SEE IT WHEN I GET TO THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE OF THIS.

BUT WE'LL HAVE IT WRAPPED UP TOMORROW, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE GOOD AND READY TO GO.
