JASON AND KIM, THERE WERE TWO OF THEM THERE, AND THEY WERE BEING SO HELPFUL TO THE BIRDERS THAT WERE THERE, HELPING THEM OUT, SHOWING THEM THE BIRDS, ASKING, ANSWERING QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE HAD ABOUT THE LAKE.

IT WAS SO NICE. AND I JUST WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO THE PARK AND REC DEPARTMENT FOR KEEPING A GOOD EYE ON THE EL RIO AND MAKING IT LOOK NICE FOR EVERYBODY.

MR. ROZEMA. MR.

[ MANAGER’S REPORT: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS]

MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL A FEW THINGS TO UPDATE ON THE SFR FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER ENDED UP AT 83, COMPARED TO 93 FOR OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN YET, SAGUARO BLOOM HAS STARTED ON PHASE ONE OF THE PARK OVER THERE.

IT'S GOING VERY WELL.

AND THE GROUP THAT HAS BEEN HIRED, GOTHIC LANDSCAPING, IS REALLY DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB.

SO THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF GRADING, EXCAVATING PREPARING FOR THE FIELDS AND PUTTING IN IRRIGATION AND PREPARING FOR THE RAMADA AS WELL AS THE BATHROOM THAT WILL BE COMING, I BELIEVE, IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS HERE.

COMING UP. MANY THINGS GOING ON AT THE MARANA AQUATICS AND RECREATION CENTER.

CONCRETE BEING POURED, DRYWALL GOING UP ON THE INSIDE, REALLY BEGINNING TO DEFINE WHAT THE INTERIOR OF THAT BUILDING IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

SO JUST GREAT PROGRESS WITH STILL AN ANTICIPATED OPENING IN MAY OF 2025.

I'M SURE YOU'VE PROBABLY NOTICED WE HAVE A PARTIALLY CONSTRUCTED CHRISTMAS TREE OUT FRONT.

[00:05:01]

ALL OF THE WORKS BEING DONE RIGHT NOW, BETWEEN NOW AND DECEMBER 7TH, TO GET EVERYTHING READY FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING EVENT, AND THAT WILL BE JUST AROUND THE CORNER FOR US HERE ON DECEMBER.

IS IT THE 7TH? I BELIEVE YES DECEMBER 7TH.

AND THEN LAST, JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THE RTA IS HAVING SEVERAL OPEN HOUSES WITH REGARD TO THE RTA NEXT.

AND THAT PLAN THAT HAS BEEN SENT OUT IS NOT A FINAL PLAN.

IT'S JUST A PLAN THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FROM THE THE PUBLIC ON.

WE HAD A MEETING ACTUALLY TODAY DOWN AT CROSSROADS PARK AT THE LIBRARY, AND WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE SCHEDULED FOR LATER IN THE MONTH ON THE 18TH OF NOVEMBER UP AT DOVE MOUNTAIN STEM SCHOOL AND THEN ANOTHER ONE ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER THE 12TH OR I'M SORRY, 17TH FROM 5:30 TO 7 AT MARANA OR I'M SORRY AT MOUNTAIN VIEW HIGH SCHOOL.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I HAD A QUESTION. SO ON THAT RTA, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN PUTTING THAT OUT STRONGLY ON MY MEDIA FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND TO THE MEETINGS.

SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE AGENDA FOR THAT? I MEAN, WHO'S GOING TO BE THERE? ARE THEY ASKING FOR OUR OPINIONS ON WHAT WE THINK? BECAUSE OF COURSE, I'M SAYING CATTARO, CATTARO, CATTARO, CATTARO AND CATTARO.

BUT BUT REALLY WHEN WHEN I GET I'M GOING TO GO TO THE ONE AT DOVE MOUNTAIN.

WHAT CAN WE ASK QUESTIONS OR? YES. SO THERE'S A PRESENTATION THAT'S DONE BY THE RTA STAFF.

OKAY. AND THEN IT'S OPENED UP TO QUESTIONS.

AND ALSO THEN THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT WHAT SOME OF THE PROJECTS ARE, TO MINGLE WITH THE STAFF AND THEN TO PROVIDE THEY FILL OUT A SURVEY AND PROVIDE INPUT THROUGH THE SURVEY.

SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT'S SET UP TO DO, IS TO GET FEEDBACK ON THE PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY LISTED ON THERE.

IF THERE'S THINGS THAT PEOPLE THINK AREN'T ON THERE, THAT SHOULD BE THINGS THAT ARE ON THERE THAT SHOULD NOT BE.

THIS IS THE TIME FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO VOICE THOSE CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS.

OKAY. AND THEN REMIND ME, TERRY, THE CITY, TUCSON, THEY'RE DOING AN ELECTION, AREN'T THEY? NOT ELECTION. WHAT AM I TRYING TO CALL FOR RTA NEXT.

RIGHT. THEY'RE GOING TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND ASKING FOR A HALF CENT.

IS THAT IN MARCH.

SEPARATE FROM THE RTA, THEY'RE DOING A BALLOT INITIATIVE TO INCREASE SALES TAX BY HALF A CENT FOR A NUMBER OF VARIOUS QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES.

OKAY. SO IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY SEPARATE THEN THEY GO DO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO AND THEN RTA.

RTA COMPLETELY SEPARATE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND I MIGHT EXPAND A LITTLE BIT ON THAT.

THE PLAN THAT'S BEING SUBMITTED IS NOT NECESSARILY APPROVED BY THE RTA BOARD.

IT'S DIFFERENT ASPECTS THAT DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE ASKED TO HAVE INCLUDED.

AND IT'S JUST LIKE YOU SAID, COUNCIL MEMBER ZIEGLER YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, YOU TELL THEM WHEN YOU'RE AT THE AT THE FUNCTION OR SOMETHING, AND IT'S TO GET COMMUNITY INPUT.

OKAY. THANKS.

ITEM P1.

[ Relating to Budget; presentation of first quarter results (July-September) for the Town's General Fund and other selected major funds for the 2024-2025 fiscal year (Yiannis Kalaitzidis)]

ITEM P1 RELATING TO BUDGET.

PRESENTATION OF THE FIRST QUARTER RESULTS JULY THROUGH SEPTEMBER FOR THE TOWN'S GENERAL FUND AND OTHER SELECTED MAJOR FUNDS FOR THE 2024 TO 2025 FISCAL YEAR. MR. KALAITZIDIS.

SO AS WE DO AROUND THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, WE'RE HERE ON BEHALF OF THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO PRESENT TO YOU THE FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL BRIEF FOR THE TOWN'S MAJOR FUNDS.

AS ALWAYS, THESE ARE PRELIMINARY AND WILL BE POSTED ON THE TOWN'S WEBSITE TOMORROW AFTER TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION.

OVERALL, WE'RE HITTING THE MARK FOR THE FIRST QUARTER.

WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR REVENUES.

OUR GENERAL FUND IS COMING IN AT ABOUT 27%.

IT'S PRETTY MUCH WHERE WE WANT TO BE, PRECISION WISE.

THE RESULTS ARE QUITE SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING OVERALL IN THE LAST YEAR AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME.

[INAUDIBLE] LIKEWISE FOR THE FUND.

WE'RE AT 28%.

IF WE LOOK AT THE MONEY THAT'S COMING IN FROM THE STATE, WE'RE RECEIVING ALMOST THE SAME MONEY WE RECEIVED IN THE FIRST QUARTER LAST YEAR.

[00:10:08]

SO WE'RE TRACKING WELL THERE.

OUR TRANSPORTATION FUND IS BEYOND EXPECTATIONS.

WE DID EXPECT TO HAVE HOUSING CONTRIBUTE TO IT, BUT WE CONTINUE TO SEE A LOT OF STRENGTH ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE, AND THAT'S WHAT'S PUSHING THOSE REVENUES UP.

SO WE'RE AGAIN VERY HAPPY FROM THAT.

WE ARE SEEING SOME INDICATION THAT SOME COSTS CONTINUE TO GO UP, ESPECIALLY WITH CONSTRUCTION AND BIG PROJECTS.

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE SOME OF THIS EXTRA MONEY AT THIS POINT.

OUR BED TAX FUND SHOWS AT 18%.

HOWEVER, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THIS IS VERY MUCH A SEASONAL CATEGORY.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS AMOUNT THAT WE'RE RECEIVING RIGHT NOW, ABOUT $286,000, THAT'S VERY COMPARABLE TO PREVIOUS YEARS AND WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE WHEN WE LOOK AT UNADJUSTED NUMBERS.

I'M SAYING THAT BECAUSE IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT THE DETAIL AND LOOK AT LAST YEAR'S COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAVE HERE, YOU WOULD SEE THAT LAST YEAR'S WAS A LOT LESS.

YOU WILL RECALL, THOUGH, WE HAD TO GIVE A REFUND LAST YEAR DURING THE FIRST QUARTER, AND THAT'S WHY THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF A DIP IN LAST YEAR'S NUMBERS, BUT OTHERWISE WE'RE DOING WELL THERE ALSO.

THE HALF-CENT SALES TAX FUND IS ALWAYS OF INTEREST.

I'M GLAD TO REPORT THAT WE ARE TRACKING VERY WELL HERE ALSO.

OUR REVENUES ARE AT ABOUT 24% OF BUDGET WHEN WE LOOK PURELY AT SALES TAX.

THE TOTAL ON THIS PAGE INCLUDES SOME INTEREST EARNINGS THAT WILL MATERIALIZE AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE YEAR.

HAVING SAID THAT, WE CONTINUE TO SEE COLLECTIONS EXCEED $600,000 ON AN AVERAGE MONTHLY BASIS, AND THAT'S BEEN THE CASE SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS FUND.

SO THE GOOD NEWS ON THAT ONE CONTINUE.

WE'RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

WATER FUND, WATERFRONT WATER RECLAMATION FUND.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COMMODITY REVENUES, THE USER, THE USAGE REVENUES HERE, THE WATER FUND ACTUALLY IS A LITTLE BIT OVER THE 25% MARK, AND THE WASTEWATER FUND IS COMING IN AT ABOUT 24% OF WHAT WE GET FROM THE USERS, WHICH IS WITHIN EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT WE WANT TO SEE FROM THESE FUNDS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

AND THE ONLY REASON YOU DON'T SEE CASH AT THE AIRPORT FUND RIGHT NOW IS WE'RE SHOWING COLLECTIONS, AND WE DON'T COLLECT ANYTHING IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

WE COLLECT IT WITHIN 45 DAYS OF THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

SO BUSINESS AS USUAL.

NOTHING BAD HERE.

SAME THING ON THE EXPENDITURES.

I'M GOING TO BOUNCE AROUND A LITTLE BIT HERE.

EVERYTHING IS PRETTY MUCH WHERE WE EXPECTED WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS WATER, WASTEWATER.

WE'RE MAKING OUR DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS.

WE'RE SPENDING MONEY FOR OPERATIONS AND PAYROLL, AS EXPECTED.

EXCUSE ME. AND FOR THE HOUSE AND SALES TAX FUND.

WE CONTINUE TO CONSTRUCT OUR PROJECT, THE MARK, WHICH IS STILL ON TRACK TO BE COMPLETED BY ABOUT, I BELIEVE, APRIL.

AND IF YOU ASK JIM, I'M SURE HE'LL TELL YOU WE'LL BE OPEN IN MAY, WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL PLAN.

LOOKING THEN AT THE LAST THING THAT I'D LIKE TO TOUCH ON HERE BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO YOU FOR ANY QUESTIONS, IS THE GENERAL FUND.

IF YOU WERE TO COMPARE THE GENERAL FUND THIS YEAR WITH PRIOR YEARS, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE SPENT A LOT MORE MONEY AND WE DID PLAN FOR THIS.

MY APOLOGIES.

THIS IS THE REFLECTING THE $13.2 MILLION THAT WE MADE AS A ONE TIME, ONE TIME PAYMENT TO PAY DOWN THE UNFUNDED LIABILITY FOR THE PENSION PLAN FOR OUR OFFICERS.

AND THAT'S WHAT IS REFLECTED IN HERE.

OTHERWISE, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DETAIL FOR EVERYTHING ELSE, WE'RE VERY MUCH WHERE WE EXPECT IT TO BE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

WITH THAT, I WILL BE HAPPY TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T SEE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. CONSENT AGENDA COUNCIL PLEASURE.

[ 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.

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.

MISS FARRELL. ARE YOU THE ONE UP ON THIS? I THINK YOU ARE. OH, IT'S JASON ANGELL.

I'M LOOKING DOWN THERE.

HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU.

GOOD. OR MAYBE THE GOOD THING IS YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE HIM.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR POST COUNCIL MEMBER CAVANAUGH.

[00:15:04]

WELCOME. CONGRATULATIONS.

COUNCIL MEMBER ZIEGLER.

CONGRATULATIONS HOPEFULLY WE KEEP IT THAT WAY.

RIGHT. OKAY.

[INAUDIBLE] AS WE DO, THE FIRST MEETING OF EVERY MONTH IS WE DO AN UPDATE ON THE MARANA DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING NEW ADDED SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, OTHER THAN THERE IS ONE LAND USE APPLICATION THAT IS HERE.

THIS IS A SILVERBELL RIDGE REZONING MODIFICATION.

IT'S A ZONING CONDITION.

THIS IS THE PROJECT THAT IS THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION OF [INAUDIBLE] AND SILVERBELL.

IT'S BUD CARDINAL'S PROPERTY.

AND THERE'S A CONDITION AS PART OF THAT REZONING THAT REQUIRED THE UNDERGROUNDING DEALT WITH THE UNDERGROUNDING GROUNDING REQUIREMENT FOR UTILITIES. NORMALLY, A WAIVER FOR UNDERGROUNDING UTILITIES GOES TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS A ZONING CONDITION IN THERE, IT WILL COME BACK TO THIS BODY AND YOU'LL ACTUALLY HEAR IT AT YOUR NEXT MEETING.

SO THAT IS THE REQUEST THERE.

SO OUTSIDE OF THAT, WHAT I WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH IS THE PERMIT NUMBERS FOR THE MONTH, ALONG WITH WHAT MR. ROZEMA HAD REPORTED ON SFRS, WE HAD FIVE PERMITS RELATED TO COMMERCIAL.

FOUR OF THOSE WERE FOR REMODEL.

AND ONE OF THOSE IS A NEW BUILD.

I BELIEVE THE NEW BUILD WAS THE DAIRY QUEEN, WHICH I KNOW THE MAYOR IS ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR.

FROM THE BUSINESS LICENSE STANDPOINT, THERE ARE NINE TOTAL.

FOUR OF THOSE ARE RETAIL, THREE ARE SERVICE, ONE IS ONLINE SALE AND ONE IS ESTATE.

NONE OF THOSE ARE RESTAURANTS.

SO THERE IS NO NEW RESTAURANTS IN THIS MONTH.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS LOOK AT ME? FROM THE PERMITS, LIKE MR. ROZEMA HAD REPORTED 83 SFRS.

YOU SEE KIND OF THE TRENDS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN THERE AS TO HOW THAT RELATES WITH THE PEAK BEING BACK IN MAY WHEN WE WERE AT 120.

JASON, WHAT'S GOING IN AT FRY'S ON IN GLADDEN FARMS? RUMOR. KNOWN RUMOR.

WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY TENANT IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO US.

NOTHING. WE HAVE SEEN ON THE BERKELEY GROUP, WHICH IS THE FIRM THAT IS MARKETING IT.

THEY HAVE THINGS ON THEIR WEBSITE REPRESENTING THAT LEASES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SIGNED BY DIFFERENT VENDORS.

ANY ANYTHING THAT COMES TO MIND? THERE'S A JERSEY MIKE'S THAT'S INDICATED IN THERE.

THERE IS LIKE A THAI, A THAI NOODLE RESTAURANT OF SOME SORT GOING IN THERE.

AND THEN NAILS YEAH I CAN IT'LL BE CLOSE.

OBVIOUSLY THE MCDONALD'S IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND THEN PIMA FEDERAL CREDIT UNION WILL BE BUILDING A STANDALONE BANK ON THE FRONT SIDE, KIND OF NEXT TO THE WHERE THE GAS FUEL STATION IS, SO OUT THERE.

AND THEN THERE'S OTHER SPACES THAT ARE, LIKE A SHAVED ICE I HEARD SOMETHING.

I'VE HEARD BAHAMA BUCK'S, WHICH IS A SHAVED ICE THAT'S GOING IN THERE.

BUT ONCE AGAIN YOU KNOW, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, WHEN I TALK ABOUT THIS, UNLESS WE SEE A PERMIT COME IN, I STILL CONSIDER.

THAT'S WHY I SAID RUMOR.

WHAT'S THE RUMOR ABOUT? SO THAT I WOULD SAY IT'S STILL IN MY BOOK IN THE RUMOR MILL.

BUT I WILL SAY THAT ON THE BERKELEY ADVERTISING MARKETING WEBSITE.

THEY DO HAVE THOSE PARTICULAR USERS LISTED IN THERE.

I CAN SAY THE CREDIT UNION, THE PIMA FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, HAS COME IN AND MET WITH STAFF AND DONE A PREAMP THERE.

SO I WOULD SAY THAT ONE IS DEFINITELY ONE THAT WE WOULD CONSIDER.

ARE THERE MORE BUILDINGS TO GO UP? THERE ARE A COUPLE MORE MULTI-TENANT BUILDINGS.

ONE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND THAT IS NEAR LORNE ADAMS. THAT IS UP BEHIND THE MCDONALD'S.

I'M NOT SURE OF WHAT'S GOING IN THAT ONE.

AND THEN THEY'RE JUST BREAKING GROUND ON ANOTHER BUILDING AS WELL IN THERE.

BUT ONCE AGAIN, IT'S A SHELL.

IT'S THERE'S NO TENANT IDENTIFIED WITH IT.

SO THERE'LL BE A COUPLE.

THEY'RE MOVING REALLY QUICK TO GET THOSE BUILDINGS UP.

YEAH. AND THAT FRY'S IS GREAT.

IT'S CLOSE TO MY HOUSE SO IT'S EASY.

IT'S AMAZING. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL STORY.

BEAUTIFUL. FROM BUILDING PERMIT ACTIVITY.

SO TOTAL FOR THE MONTH.

WE DID 396 BUILDING PERMITS.

OUR AVERAGE IS RIGHT AROUND 400, SO WE'RE ON PAR THERE, NUMBERS ARE STILL UP AS FAR AS PERMIT ACTIVITY.

[00:20:02]

AND FROM AN INSPECTION STANDPOINT, FOR THE MONTH, WE JUST DID JUST OVER 2000 BUILDINGS AS WELL, 2100 BUILDING INSPECTIONS FOR THE MONTH. OUR STAFF IS AVERAGING BETWEEN OUR FOUR INSPECTORS.

BETWEEN 110 TO 120 INSPECTIONS A DAY.

AND THAT'S WHAT OUR STAFF COVERS FOR THE ENTIRE STAFF.

FOR THE ENTIRE STAFF? YES.

BUT ACTIVITY IS STILL THERE AND PRETTY CONSISTENT.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

JASON. I'VE SEEN TEP DOING A LOT OF LINE IMPROVEMENTS, SANDERS, WENTZ.

IS THAT SOMETHING FOR THE THAT BIG POWER LINE OR THAT'S APCO.

SO WHAT'S TEP DOING? I MEAN THEY'RE PUTTING IN BIG METAL TRANSMISSION POLES.

MAYOR HONEA. COUNCIL MEMBER OR VICE MAYOR POST.

MY UNDERSTANDING, ACTUALLY, ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN THAT WORKS FOR TEP, THAT IS A CRANE OPERATOR, IS ALSO A GENTLEMAN THAT I COACHED SOFTBALL WITH.

AND SO HE WAS ACTUALLY HELPING TO SET THOSE POLES IN MY AND HIS INDICATION IS THAT'S HELPING TO SET UP FOR ULTIMATELY SOME OF THE LINES THAT WILL BE COMING IN TO EITHER FEED THE GREER STATION OR TO ALSO CARRY LINES OUT OF THE GREER SUBSTATION AND THEN DISTRIBUTE THROUGHOUT NORTH MARANA.

SO THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF POLE REPLACEMENT IN NORTH MARANA RIGHT NOW IN PREPARATION FOR EXPANDING CAPACITY UP HERE.

WELL, IT'S KIND OF NICE BECAUSE MAYBE THEY WON'T FALL DOWN LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN.

YEAH. YEAH.

IF THEY DO IT'LL BE A LOT WORSE.

YEAH. TAKE A LOT WITH THEM.

I GOT AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

WHEN'S THE PANDA EXPRESS GOING TO OPEN? MR. MAYOR, WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN A CONFIRMED DATE ON THAT.

BUT IN TALKING WITH DAVE SPURLOCK, OUR CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL, HE SAID HE ANTICIPATES IT SHOULD BE LIKE ANY WEEK.

IT COULD BE WHAT IT SHOULD BE LIKE ANY WEEK THEY'RE LIKE NEAR COMPLETION IN THERE.

THE INTERIOR IS PRETTY MUCH DONE.

YOU KNOW, THE PANDA EXPRESS? OH, IT'S OVER BY DUTCH BROTHERS.

PANDA EXPRESS AND RIGHT OFF OF THE MARANA INTERCHANGE, RIGHT ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD THERE.

YEAH. JASON'S BEING A LITTLE QUIET TONIGHT.

YEAH. DON'T WORRY. [INAUDIBLE] JASON IS THERE ANY WAY WHEN THEY PUT THE CONTRACTORS SIGN UP, WHEN THEY START THESE NEW ALL THESE NEW RESTAURANTS AND THINGS THAT ARE GOING IN THAT THEY COULD PUT WHO IT'S GOING TO BE.

AREN'T THEY PROUD OF WHO'S GOING TO BE THERE? I MEAN, IT'S YOU SEE THE CONTRACTOR WHO'S REALLY LOOKING, I MEAN, ME AND PEOPLE ASK ME WHO'S LOOKING FOR THE CONTRACT OF THIS BUILDING.

THEY WANT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING TO BE THERE.

YEAH. YOU DON'T SEE THAT UNTIL AFTERWARDS.

MAYOR HONEA, COUNCIL MEMBER OFFICER, WE DON'T HAVE A REQUIREMENT THAT SIGNAGE BE PLACED OUT THERE.

SO IT'S LEFT UP TO THE THE APPLICANT OR THE PROPERTY OWNER TO ULTIMATELY DECIDE HOW THEY WANT TO ADVERTISE IT.

AND IN MANY CASES YOU KNOW, LIKE THE FRY'S, EVEN WHEN THEY WERE GOING UP, WE WANTED THEM TO GET THE SIGN UP AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.

BUT THEY WERE VERY, YOU KNOW, RELUCTANT AS FAR AS WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO PUT ANY SIGNAGE UP THERE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO SOME OF THEM WANTED TO ADVERTISE IT REAL QUICK AND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND OTHERS WILL HOLD OFF AND SURPRISE EVERYBODY.

BUT ANYBODY THAT CALLS US, WE WOULD TELL THEM WHO'S GOING IN THERE IF WE KNEW.

WE KNEW FRY'S WAS GOING IN THERE YEAH. WE DIDN'T HOLD BACK ON THAT ONE.

I KNOW THAT ONE. 17 YEARS TWO WEEKS AND A DAY.

YEAH. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR MR.? I TOLD THE CHIEF I'D BE UNDER 25 MINUTES.

SO THANK YOU, JASON.

THANK YOU. ITEM D2 MR.

[ Relating to Mayor and Council; selection of the Vice Mayor (David L. Udall)]

UDALL. ITEM D2 RELATING TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL SELECTION OF THE VICE MAYOR.

NOMINATIONS, FOLKS.

I'LL NOMINATE JON POST.

SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? NAY. MOTION PASSES FIVE ONE.

I THINK WE NEED AN EXECUTIVE SESSION ON E2.

[ EXECUTIVE SESSIONS Pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-431.03, the Town Council may vote to go into executive session, which will not be open to the public, to discuss certain matters.]

NO, WE HAVE TWO.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION? MR. MAYOR, IT WOULD BE FOR E2, E3 AND E4.

E2, E3 AND E4 DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MOTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. WE ARE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

WE'RE BACK IN PUBLIC SESSION AND WE NEED TO TAKE SOME ACTIONS SO, MISS FARRELL.

ITEM E2.

I DO HAVE ONE, MR. MAYOR. OKAY.

OKAY. SO THIS.

OH, SORRY. SORRY.

OKAY. FUTURE AGENDA ITEM.

I WANTED TO SEE IF TERRY JANE, WHOMEVER WOULD GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE CONTRACT THAT WE SUBMITTED TO PIMA AVIATION.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE NOW, AND YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? PIMA AVIATION.

SO IT'S BEEN I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG, TERRY IT'S BEEN, BUT IT'S BEEN A WHILE, AND I THINK THEY NEED TO ANSWER THE MAIL, SO I'D LIKE TO HAVE THEM UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE.

YEAH. MR. MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

WE COULD DO ONE OF TWO WAYS.

I COULD BRING YOU BACK HERE BEFORE A REGULAR SESSION.

WE DO HAVE SOME SCHEDULED TWO ON TWO MEETINGS.

WE COULD ALSO DO UPDATES TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW WHERE THINGS ARE AT AT THAT POINT AS WELL, WHICHEVER YOU PREFER.
