Jun 03, 2025 Council Meetings

[00:00:02]

EVERYONE I'D LIKE TO CALL THE TOWN COUNCIL. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING TO ORDER.

[ CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL]

. A QUORUM IS PRESENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PLEASE STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, FOLLOWED BY A SHORT MOMENT OF SILENCE.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

THANK YOU. PLEASE BE SEATED.

[ APPROVAL OF AGENDA]

THIS IS AN AGREEMENT WITH AD VISION FOR THE PURCHASE OF BUS BENCHES AND SHELTERS FOR ADVERTISING PURPOSES.

THE AGREEMENT THAT WAS POSTED WITH THE AGENDA ONLINE HAS BEEN REVISED AS OF TODAY.

THE PARTIES TOWN STAFF AND AD VISION NEGOTIATED A CHANGE TO THE TIME FRAME.

INSTEAD OF THE TOWN PAYING FOR THE ASSETS WITHIN 30 DAYS, IT WOULD BE WITHIN 15 DAYS.

STAFF FELT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. AND WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS NOTED HERE.

WE DO HAVE COPIES OF THE REVISED AGREEMENT ON THE DAIS FOR YOU TO REVIEW.

SO YOU HAVE THE MOST CURRENT VERSION. AND THEN IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION.

WE CERTAINLY CAN DO THAT. I'D LIKE TO LEAVE THAT IN THE CONSENT AGENDA, UNLESS OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE SOME ISSUE WITH THAT.

HEARING NONE. CAN I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA? MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AGENDA IS APPROVED.

PROCLAMATIONS. AND MAYOR POST. WE WANT TO DO CALL TO THE PUBLIC.

SURE. PLEASE TURN THE PAGE ON THAT. AT THIS TIME, ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS ALLOWED

[ CALL TO THE PUBLIC At this time any member of the public is allowed to address the Town Council on any issue within the jurisdiction of the Town Council, except for items scheduled for a Public Hearing at this meeting.

AND, MR. MAYOR, I DO HAVE FIVE INDIVIDUALS, FIVE SPEAKER CARDS.

THE FIRST IS LINDA ROBERTS. SHE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY JENNY DUPREE IF YOU WANT TO COME UP TO THE PODIUM.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS LYNDON ROBERTS, AND MY ADDRESS IS 5869 WEST OASIS ROAD.

AND I, ALONG WITH MY NEIGHBORS, OPPOSE THE ANNEXATION OF LINDA VISTA, 39, AND LINDA VISTA, 13. IN ADDITION TO THIS MONSTROSITY OF A DEVELOPMENT, THE TOWN OF MARANA HAS SEVERAL SUBDIVISIONS DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WORKS. I HOPE YOU HAVE CONSIDERED THE IMMENSE STRAIN ON YOUR POLICE FORCE, YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND ALL OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UPKEEP AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

AS YOU KNOW, INCOME, REVENUE TO A TOWN OR CITY FROM HOUSING IS MINIMAL, BUT THE COST OF POLICING, FIRE PREVENTION AND MAINTENANCE IS COSTLY.

SO WHY WOULD THE TOWN OF MARANA ANNEX PROPERTY JUST INCUR THESE COSTS? SOMEONE IN POWER MUST BE MAKING LOTS OF MONEY ON THIS DEAL FOR IT TO EVEN BE CONSIDERED.

MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT OUR HOME BECAUSE OF THE OPEN LAND AND VIEWS IN OUR BACKYARD.

WE DID NOT PURCHASE THIS LAND TO HAVE VIEWS OF INCONSIDERATE DEVELOPMENT OF APARTMENT BUILDINGS.

MY NAME IS LYNDON ROBERTS. MY NEIGHBORS AND I OPPOSE THE ANNEXATION OF LINDA VISTA, 39, AND LINDA VISTA, 13. THANK YOU. NEXT UP WE HAVE JENNY DUBRAY, FOLLOWED BY RHONDA CURRIER.

CAREER. GOOD EVENING,

[00:05:02]

I'M HERE TONIGHT TO VOICE MY STRONG OPPOSITION ONCE AGAIN SHARED BY MANY RESIDENTS OF LINDA VISTA, OASIS, TWIN PEAKS, MARANA AND TORTOLITA NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE LINDA VISTA 52 ANNEXATION, REZONING AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT THREATENS EVERYTHING WE LOVE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY ITS PEACE, ITS PRIVACY, ITS WILDLIFE, AND, OF COURSE, PROPERTY VALUES.

LET'S START WITH PROPERTY VALUES. REAL ESTATE EXPERTS AGREE THAT CHANGING ZONING FROM SUBURBAN RANCH TO HIGH DENSITY MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENTS WILL CAUSE A RIPPLE EFFECT OF DECLINING PROPERTY VALUES, NOT JUST FOR THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS, BUT FOR THOSE SURROUNDING.

MANY LONGTIME RESIDENTS THAT LOSS OF EQUITY MEANS POTENTIAL FINANCIAL INSECURITY, NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER AND PRIVACY ARE ALSO AT STAKE. OUR COMMUNITY IS KNOWN FOR ITS OPEN SPACES, ABUNDANT WILDLIFE, HORSE PROPERTIES AND NATURAL BEAUTY.

INSERTING DENSE HOUSING AND APARTMENT COMPLEXES NOT ONLY CLASHES WITH OUR LIFESTYLE, BUT IT ALSO RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT INCREASED NOISE, TRAFFIC AND CRIME. IT STRIPS AWAY THE VERY REASONS WE CHOSE TO LIVE THERE.

THEN THERE'S INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SAFETY.

THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ON LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD AND SURROUNDING ROADS WILL BE SEVERE.

THIS ROAD IS ALREADY STRAINED, AND IMPROVEMENTS PROMISED BY PIMA COUNTY AREN'T PROJECTED TO BEGIN UNTIL 2030.

MEANWHILE, EMERGENCY SERVICES, UTILITIES AND JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES BETWEEN MARANA AND PIMA COUNTY WILL ONLY GROW MORE COMPLICATED, PUTTING PUBLIC SAFETY AT RISK. I KNOW THIS FIRSTHAND BECAUSE LAST SUMMER, MY 80 YEAR OLD FATHER FELL IN MY HOME.

I HAD TO CALL 911. THE RESPONDING FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT THE CORRECT FIRE DEPARTMENT, MEANING WE HAD TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER AMBULANCE BECAUSE THE ONE IN MY DRIVEWAY WAS NOT FROM THE RIGHT DEPARTMENT. IN AN EMERGENCY, THESE COMPLICATIONS WILL COST PEOPLE THEIR LIVES.

IT CERTAINLY JEOPARDIZED LIFE OF MY LATE FATHER.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES ARE JUST AS SERIOUS.

THE SONORAN DESERT IS A FRAGILE, IRREPLACEABLE ECOSYSTEM.

THIS PROJECT ENDANGERS WILDLIFE CORRIDORS, PROTECTED SPECIES, HABITATS, AND LOCAL WATER FLOWS AND WASHES AND RIPARIAN AREAS.

IT ALSO THREATENS NEARBY PRIVATE WELLS AND IGNORES DECADES OF SONORAN DESERT CONSERVATION EFFORTS.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE CALLING ON THE COUNCIL TO PLEASE, PLEASE REJECT THE LINDA VISTA 52 ANNEXATION PROPOSAL IN ITS ENTIRETY.

PLEASE PRESERVE THE SUBURBAN RANCH HOMES. PLEASE RESPECT THE LAND.

AND IF THIS DEVELOPMENT MUST OCCUR, PLEASE RELOCATE IT TO A LESS ECOLOGICALLY AND SOCIALLY DISRUPTIVE AREA.

ONCE WE LOSE THIS LAND, IN THIS LIFESTYLE AND THIS LEGACY, IT'S GONE FOREVER AND WE CANNOT GET IT BACK.

THANK YOU. NEXT UP WE HAVE RHONDA CARR, FOLLOWED BY BILL COHEN.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RHONDA CARR, AND I RESIDE AT 5853 WEST OASIS ROAD.

I AM HERE AGAIN TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION TO THE LINDA VISTA 52 ANNEXATION.

52 ACRES. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DISPUTING. CURRENTLY, THE TOWN OF MARANA IS APPROXIMATELY 121.4 ACRES, OR SQUARE MILES, WHICH EQUATES TO 77,696 ACRES, IS 52 ACRES THAT IMPORTANT TO ANNEX, REZONE AND DEVELOP WITH THE AMOUNT OF PUSHBACK FROM THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.

I ATTENDED THE PLANNING MEETING LAST EVENING, ALONG WITH A LARGE GROUP OF OUR NEIGHBORS.

AT THE MEETING, BRIAN UNDERWOOD SHARED THE CONCESSIONS MADE TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN IN HOPES OF COMING TO A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD BE PALATABLE TO THOSE OF US IN OPPOSITION. THERE ARE STILL CONSIDERABLE IDENTIFIED FLAWS THAT CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS A POOR FIT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

NEIGHBORHOOD. FRANKLY, THERE ISN'T ANY PLAN THAT WOULD BE APPEASING TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD OTHER THAN THE SUBURBAN RANCH HOUSING AS CURRENTLY ZONED.

MR. UNDERWOOD SUGGESTED THAT SUBURBAN RANCH HOUSING IS NOT IN DEMAND.

I'M NOT SURE I SUPPORT HIS CLAIM WHILE I SEE SEVERAL RECENT BUILDS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WELL AS SEVERAL CURRENTLY BEING BUILT, HOW IS THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL APARTMENTS AND MULTIFAMILY HOUSING SUPPORTED WHEN THERE ARE UNOCCUPIED RENTAL HOMES AND APARTMENTS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE PROPOSED PROPERTY? IN ADDITION, THERE ARE SEVERAL NEW DEVELOPMENTS ALONG TWIN PEAKS AND CAMINO DE MANANA,

[00:10:06]

WHEN ASKED WHY HE DOESN'T SELL HIS PROPERTY LIKE ANY OTHER HOMEOWNER WOULD.

HE STATED THAT HIS PROPERTY IS NOT FOR SALE. WHAT AN INSULT! I HARDLY BELIEVE THAT HE IS POURING MONEY INTO A PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT IF THERE ISN'T A DEVELOPER OR DEVELOPERS WAITING TO BUY.

AND ALL OF THIS BEFORE MARANA HAS EVEN VOTED TO ANNEX.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A LOT TO LOSE SHOULD THIS ANNEXATION FAIL.

I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT MR. POST AND MR. GOODMAN BELIEVE THEIR INVESTMENT IN PLANNING IS SAFE WITH A CERTAIN YES VOTE FOR ANNEXATION.

MR. MAYOR, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE ACCUSED YOURSELF FROM THIS MATTER DUE TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MR. JON POST, BUT I HARDLY BELIEVE YOUR INFLUENCE ISN'T DISCERNED BY YOUR FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS.

AGAIN, 52 ACRES. IS IT WORTH THE BACKLASH AND OPPOSITION FOR TWO PROPERTY OWNERS TO MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFIT? PROFIT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE MARANA TOWN COUNCIL? THANK YOU. NEXT UP, WE HAVE BILL COHEN. AND OUR FINAL SPEAKER CARD IS MARK BRAZIER.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, AND MEMBERS OF THE TOWN COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR GRANTING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

I AM HERE TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION TO LINDA VISTA 52 AND BY THE WAY, BILL COHEN, 9710 NORTH LINDA VISTA PLACE.

THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION AND REZONING OF LINDA VISTA 52 JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

AS MORTGAGE RATES CONTINUE TO BE HIGH, THE HOUSING MARKET IS SOFT.

ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE RELEASED BY THE ASSOCIATE PRESS JUST LAST FRIDAY, THE U.S.

HOUSING MARKET HAS 34% MORE SELLERS THAN BUYERS.

SIMILAR ARTICLES WERE RECENTLY RELEASED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE HILL AND NEWSWEEK.

TO QUOTE, ASIDE FROM APRIL 2020, WHEN THE PANDEMIC BROUGHT THE ECONOMY AND HOME SALES ACTIVITY TO A STANDSTILL, THERE HAVEN'T BEEN THIS FEW BUYERS IN THE MARKET.

IN 2024, THERE WERE FEWER HOMES HOME SALES THAN ANY YEAR SINCE 1995.

THIS YEAR IS LOOKING WORSE SELLERS BEGINNING OUTNUMBERING BUYERS IN NOVEMBER 2023, WHEN THE AVERAGE RATE ON A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE CLIMBED TO A 23 YEAR HIGH OF NEARLY 8%, ACCORDING TO MORTGAGE BUYER FREDDIE MAC.

THE AVERAGE RATE REACHED 6.89% THIS WEEK, ITS HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE FEBRUARY.

THE PROPERTY, LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD AT CAMINO BENICARLO, HAS ALREADY BEEN ANNEXED AND REZONED AS PART OF LINDA VISTA VILLAGE AT CASCADIA.

A TOTAL OF 441 RENTAL PROPERTIES ARE PLANNED.

LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD CURRENTLY EXPERIENCES A HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC.

THE ADDITION OF 4441 HOME RENTAL RESIDENTS FROM LINDA VISTA VILLAGE OF CASCADIA, ALONG WITH THE PROPOSED 448 SINGLE AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTS FROM LINDA VISTA, 52, WILL ONLY EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM.

WHILE MARANA MAY WIDEN ITS SECTION OF LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES FROM PIMA COUNTY.

THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL LEAD TO INCREASED TRAFFIC CONGESTION, PARTICULARLY FOR EASTBOUND TRAFFIC.

FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS PROPERTY VALUES.

ON MAY 8TH, THE PLANNING CENTER PRESENTED US WITH AN ASSESSOR TAX VALUE FOR PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO DESERT OASIS.

HOWEVER, THEIR DATA IS FLAWED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE VALUE OF A PROPERTY IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED BY WHAT A BUYER WILL PAY.

BUYERS OF SUBURBAN RANCH PROPERTIES TYPICALLY SEEK VIEWS THAT INCLUDE MOUNTAINS, FLORA, AND FAUNA.

THE PRESENCE OF HIGH DENSITY HOUSING AND MULTIPLE STORY APARTMENT COMPLEXES WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR VIEWS AND FORCE THE REDUCTION OF ASKING PRICES IN ORDER TO ATTRACT PROSPECTIVE BUYERS. MEMBERS OF THE TOWN COUNCIL, I RESPECTFULLY URGE YOU TO VOTE AGAINST THE ANNEXATION OF LINDA VISTA 52.

THANK YOU. OUR FINAL SPEAKER CARD IS MIKE BRAZIER.

HI, MY NAME IS MARK BRAZIER, AND I LIVE AT 9630 NORTH VISTA PLACE, WHICH IS ADJACENT TO THE 39 ACRE PARCEL AND ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE 13 ACRE PARCEL. AND I'M GOING TO I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN ABOUT THE LINDA VISTA 52 PROJECT, WHICH YOU'RE CONSIDERING FOR REZONING AND RE ANNEXING AND WHICH I'M OPPOSED TO.

I'M GOING TO GO OVER SOME NUMBERS JUST LIKE BILL DID, BUT MINE MIGHT BE MORE BORING BECAUSE THERE'S MORE OF THEM.

SINCE 2021, WHEN I FIRST BROKE GROUND IN MY NEW HOUSE, A LOT OF BUILDING HAS OCCURRED ON LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD WEST OF MY PROPERTY,

[00:15:05]

THERE ARE SEVERAL NEW DEVELOPMENTS PLANNED FOR THE TOWN OF MARANA FOR LINDA VISTA VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD NEXT TO THE MALL WILL ADD APPROXIMATELY 276 LOTS. EXISTING AND FUTURE LINDA VISTA VILLAGES HOUSES ON THE NORTH SIDE LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD ACROSS FROM THE WALL WILL ADD APPROXIMATELY 171 HOUSES. ANOTHER PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF TWIN PEAKS AND LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD, CALLED CASCADA VILLAGE. ONE OR ANOTHER NAME CALLED CASCADA TWO SPECIFIC PLAN SHOW APPROXIMATELY 372 LOTS.

THAT'S A TOTAL OF 819 POTENTIAL, FUTURE AND EXISTING NEW HOMES DRIVING ALONG LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD.

SO BY ADDING THE LINDA VISTA 39, WHICH ARE 95 HOMES AND 306 APARTMENT UNITS, AND LINDA VISTA 13, WHICH WILL BE MAYBE OR HOPEFULLY NOT BE 47 HOMES, GIVES US A GRAND TOTAL OF 1267 HOMES OR UNITS, WHICH COULD BE THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL VEHICLES TRAVELING ON LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD VERY SOON IF ALL OF THESE PROPOSALS ARE APPROVED.

THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL INDIRECT TRAFFIC INFLUENCES ON LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD, AND I'M TALKING ABOUT TWIN PEAKS.

THERE ARE FOUR DEVELOPMENT APPROVED PROJECTS, WHICH ARE APPROXIMATELY 327 HOUSES BEING PLANNED JUST THIS PAST WEEK.

THEY STARTED EXCAVATING FOR THE NEW TOWER AT TWIN PEAKS DEVELOPMENT.

THERE'S ALSO BEEN ABOUT THREE BIG HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS STARTED ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO ON THE EAST SIDE, WHICH ARE JUST ENDING IN THESE PAST FEW YEARS.

THERE'S ALSO BEEN AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF TRASH ON MY PROPERTY.

SOMETIMES THIS TRASH IS INTERESTING AND SOMETIMES NASTY.

I WON'T GO INTO THE NASTY STUFF, BUT ABOUT A MONTH AGO THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP LICENSE PLATE.

I RETURNED TO BILL MORAN THAT WAS SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS, THERE'S A HUBCAP THAT'S BEEN SITTING THERE, AND THAT'S IN ADDITION TO NORMAL BAGS AND BOTTLES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

IF DEVELOPED, A 13 ACRE PARCEL INTO VISTA 13 WILL TOTALLY RUIN MY VIEW OF THE TORTOLITA MOUNTAINS.

WHEN LOOKING OUT THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE, I TRY TO VISUALIZE IN THE FUTURE, WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

AND ALL I SEE IS THIS BIG WALL WITH HOUSES BEHIND IT.

SO I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE VERY GOOD. I HOPE THE COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS RESULTS SHOW THESE PROJECTS WON'T HELP MARANA AND THE TOWN WILL HELP THE MARANA TOWN COUNCIL DECIDE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. BUT AGAIN, I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING GETTING ANY WORSE THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU. AND, MR. MAYOR, I HAVE RECEIVED ONE MORE SPEAKER CARD FROM MR. JON POST. MAY AS WELL LET HIM SPEAK. I REALIZE HE'S GOING TO SHOOT ME OR EVERYBODY'S GOING TO SHOOT ME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR ZIEGLER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND RESIDENTS OF MARANA.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THIS ON THE RECORD.

MY NAME IS DAN POST, AND I STAND BEFORE YOU AS A LIFELONG RESIDENT OF THIS COMMUNITY, HAVING LIVED AT TWIN PEAKS AND I-10 SINCE 1992.

MY WIFE AND I ARE PROUD TO CALL MORAN A HOME WHERE WE'VE RAISED OUR FAMILY AND BUILT OUR LIVES AS A LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER WITH COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND ADONIS.

I'VE INVESTED IN THIS TOWN'S FUTURE. MY PROPOSAL TO ANNEX OUR 13 ACRE PROPERTY AND REZONE IT FOR A MASTER PLANNED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION IS DRIVEN BY A VISION TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE, THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED COMMUNITY.

THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE QUALITY HOUSING, PRESERVE SIGNIFICANT OPEN SPACE, AND ALIGN WITH MIRANDA'S GROWTH PLANS ACCORDING TO OUR TOWN'S PROSPERITY, WHILE RESPECTING ITS NATURAL BEAUTY. I MUST ADDRESS THE VICIOUS ATTACKS LEVELED AGAINST MY FAMILY AND ME BY THE OPPONENTS TO THIS PROJECT. THEY HAVE SPREAD FALSEHOODS ACCUSING US OF UNETHICAL SHENANIGANS AND CORRUPTION FOR PERSONAL GAIN.

THESE STATEMENTS ARE BASELESS AND MALICIOUS, INTENDED TO MISLEAD THIS COUNCIL AND DIVIDE OUR COMMUNITY.

MOST DISTURBINGLY, THEY'VE STOOPED TO BIGOTRY, TARGETING OUR FAITH, CALLING US SINNERS, DESTINED FOR HELL AND LABELING US AS VARMINTS.

THESE LIES AND HATEFUL REMARKS HAVE NO PLACE, NO PLACE IN CIVIL DISCOURSE.

THEY AIM TO DISTRACT FROM THE MERITS OF THIS PROPOSAL BY ATTACKING OUR CHARACTER AND FAITH.

I ASK THIS COUNCIL TO SEE THROUGH THIS SLANDER AND FOCUS ON THE FACTS OF THE PROJECT.

IN CLOSING, I URGE YOU TO CONSIDER THE BENEFITS OF THIS ANNEXATION AND REZONING.

OUR PLAN INCLUDES MITIGATION MEASURES TO PROTECT THE RIPARIAN HABITAT AND WILDLIFE CORRIDORS.

[00:20:04]

I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT TO MOVE FORWARD. FOSTERING GROWTH WHILE PRESERVING WHAT MAKES OUR TOWN SPECIAL.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER, NOT TEAR EACH OTHER APART.

THANK YOU. MR. CARR. HERE. TONIGHT. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAND UP HERE AND LEVEL YOUR BASELESS LIES AND YOUR OP ED THAT YOU WROTE TODAY.

COULD YOU COME UP AND SHARE SOME OF THE TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE ACCUSED ME OF DOING? SHARE SOME OF THAT PUBLICLY? YES.

NO, I WANT YOU. YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S LEVELING THE ACCUSATIONS.

PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE ME EXAMPLES. SPECIFIC EXAMPLES.

MR. MAYOR, YOU HAVE BEEN OUT IN PUBLIC. OKAY.

AND I CAN TELL I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC DATE BECAUSE I WASN'T PLANNING ON SPEAKING TONIGHT.

BUT WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THAT. I'M TALKING ABOUT YOUR WHAT? WHAT? FULL OF. WELL, GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE, MR. MAYOR.

MR. MAYOR. YOU'RE ACCUSING. YOU SAY. MR. MAYOR, IF I MIGHT INTERRUPT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME, MR. CARR.

YOU MAY PRESENT THAT CALL TO THE PUBLIC IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO.

THAT'S UP TO YOU AT THIS POINT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A STATEMENT THREE MINUTES LONG, YOU CAN DO THAT. YOU CAN SIT DOWN IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO.

I'M GIVING YOU THE OPPORTUNITY HERE TONIGHT PUBLICLY TO MR. MAYOR POST THAT YOU HAVE SAID ABOUT ME, BOTH ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE NEWSPAPER TODAY, BASELESS LIES.

AND I WANT, I WANT YOU TO STANDING RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME.

I WANT YOU TO GIVE ME EXAMPLES OF THOSE. OR ARE THEY JUST LIES THAT YOU'RE USING TO FURTHER YOUR CAUSE? MAYOR POST. MAYOR POST. LET ME LET ME INTERRUPT FOR OUT OF LINE.

LET ME INTERRUPT FOR A MOMENT. AGAIN, YOU MAY, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A STATEMENT, YOU MAY.

YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED TO. AND MR. MAYOR, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE NOT ASK HIM QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT, MAYOR POST. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, WHEN YOU HAVE A ANNEXATION THAT IS LIKE THIS, WHERE IT BRINGS YOUR BROTHER'S PROPERTY INTO IT, AND THE ADJACENT PROPERTY, WHICH IS MULTIFAMILY HOMES THAT ARE BOUNCED RIGHT UP TO SUBURBAN RANCH RESIDENTS, YOU DON'T THINK THERE WOULD BE PUBLIC OUTCRY? YOU DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE WOULD. AND I'M SURPRISED THAT YOU WOULD EVEN BE PART OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT OR YOUR BROTHER, BECAUSE THE OPTICS ON THAT, IN MY OPINION, AND IT IS MY OPINION WHICH I'M ENTITLED TO BECAUSE WE ARE IN AMERICA, MY OPINION IS SIMPLE, AND THAT IS, IS THAT THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT PLACE FOR IT.

I SPOKE TO YOU. I SPOKE TO THE COUNCIL. I SPOKE TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

MAYOR POST, THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK. MAYOR POST, THE OPTICS OF THESE LOOK BAD BECAUSE YOU HAVE MR. GOODMAN, WHO IS JAMMING DOWN 15 THREE STORY APARTMENT BUILDINGS 100FT FROM MY HOUSE.

SIR, I'VE WORKED ALL MY LIFE FOR THIS. I HAVE FOUGHT FOR MY FAMILY.

I'VE LOST MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY. I'VE EXPERIENCED MORE DEATH AND HEARTACHE IN MY LIFETIME THAN MANY OTHERS HAVE.

I HATE TO DO THIS, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS. I'M TRYING TO PROTECT MY PROPERTY RIGHTS.

I'M TRYING TO PROTECT MY FAMILY. JUST AS YOU ARE YOURS, SIR.

DOES THAT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DEFAME AND SLANDER ME? I DID NOT DEFAME YOU. I DID NOT SLANDER YOU. AND I WILL BE DONE WITH MY.

I WILL BE DONE WITH MY COMMENTS. BUT YOU SHOW ME WHERE I DEFAMED YOU OR I SLANDERED YOU.

PICK UP THE NEWSPAPER, SIR, I DID. MR. MAYOR, YOU AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE CALL OF THE PUBLIC.

YOU CAN RESPOND TO CRITICISM THAT'S BEEN MADE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO.

WELL, I AM RESPONDING TO THE CRITICISM THAT ACCUSES ME OF DOING SOMETHING UNDERHANDED AND FOUL.

AND BY ACCUSING ME OF THAT, YOU HAVE ACCUSED ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS ROOM.

YOU HAVE ACCUSED ALL OF THE STAFF. YOU HAVE ACCUSED THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS BY SAYING THAT I DID SOMETHING UNDERHANDED.

I DID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. I DECLARED A CONFLICT.

I WENT OVER THERE AND SAT IN THE CORNER. IN NO WAY, ON APRIL 15TH LOBBIED FOR THIS PROJECT.

I DID NOT DO THAT. AND THAT IS IN YOUR OP ED TODAY IN THE NEWSPAPER, SIR.

[00:25:01]

IT BOGGLES MY MIND. THAT YOU WOULD DO THAT IN THIS ROOM, THAT YOU WOULD DO THAT TO MY FRIENDS AND MY COLLEAGUES FOR ME TO DO WHAT YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF DOING. IT WOULD TAKE EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS ROOM TO BE PART OF THAT.

AND SO IS THAT WHAT EVERYBODY'S HERE DOING TONIGHT IS ACCUSING THEM OF DOING SOMETHING UNDERHANDED.

ACCUSING PEOPLE THAT HAVE SPENT 20 OR 30 YEARS SERVING OUR COMMUNITY AND OVER THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE IT'S NEXT TO YOUR HOUSE, YOU'RE GOING TO ACCUSE THEM OF THAT. I THINK THAT'S WRONG, AND I'M NOT GOING TO STAND FOR IT.

I WOULD SUGGEST TWO THINGS. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU GET AN EDUCATION REALLY QUICK ON THE LAWS OF SLANDER AND DEFAMATION.

NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO, I WOULD DISCONTINUE COMING UP HERE AND TELLING EVERYBODY THAT YOU'RE A RETIRED FIRE CHIEF OR WHATEVER, BECAUSE THAT DOES NO SERVICE TO THAT, TO THOSE GOOD PEOPLE.

AND THEN COMING UP HERE AND FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH LIES.

I AM DONE LISTENING TO YOU GUYS LIE ABOUT THIS.

YOU GUYS WANT TO ARGUE THE PROJECT ON ITS MERITS? GREAT. DO IT EVERYBODY. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS FOR.

BUT NOT TO COME UP HERE AND SLANDER ME, I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT.

PERIOD. I SAT HERE FOR MONTHS ON END, QUIET. AND IT JUST GOT WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. COUNCILMEMBER COMERFORD.

WELL, I HEARD THAT. OH. OH, WHAT? OH, WHAT? I SAID WOW.

OH, OKAY. OKAY. SO FIRST MAYOR, I WANT TO TELL YOU, MY HUSBAND AND I CELEBRATED OUR 40TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY ON SUNDAY. WOW. AND WE STILL LIKE EACH OTHER. I HAD TO START SOMETHING OFF, BUT I WANTED TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO EXPLAIN SOME THINGS THAT I BELIEVE ARE NOT UNDERSTOOD.

NUMBER ONE, THIS BODY IS NOT BRINGING AN ANNEXATION TO THE TOWN.

THERE ARE APPLICANTS THAT HAVE LEGALLY RIGHT THE RIGHTS TO BRING TO THE TOWN.

WHAT? THEY'RE REQUESTING AN ANNEXATION. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT.

BUT THERE ARE SIX PEOPLE MINUS ONE UP HERE THAT HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION.

THOSE SIX. THAT'S IT. NO MORE, NO LESS. OKAY.

I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT BY COMING UP HERE, I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT KINDNESS AND BEING NICE TO PEOPLE.

I WILL LISTEN TO ANYBODY INSIDE, OUTSIDE OR INSIDE.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE TOWN. I WILL BE GLAD TO LISTEN.

AND WE'VE DONE, I THINK, A FAIRLY GOOD JOB OF LISTENING.

BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME KINDNESS IN OUR SOCIETY AGAIN.

I HAVE SAT HERE AND HEARD YOU SAY HOW THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO AFFECT YOUR LIVES.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME FROM ADAM. I KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU BY THE TIMES THAT YOU'VE BEEN COMING UP HERE AND TALKING TO US.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF PERSON I AM.

YOU DON'T KNOW HIM? PROBABLY DON'T KNOW HER, MA'AM.

MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW TERRY. AND YOU DON'T KNOW JOHN.

AND HERB KAI ISN'T HERE TONIGHT. BUT IF I WERE IN YOUR SHOES, I'D BE KIND. I'D BE LIKE MOST OF YOU HAVE BEEN EXPLAINING WHY THIS IS A DETRIMENT TO YOU.

NOT THAT SOMEBODY IS OR YOU'RE ACCUSING SOMEBODY TO SPEAKING TO ALL OF US, BECAUSE THAT HASN'T HAPPENED TO ME.

AND I CAN PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE YOU BY THE SHAKES OF HEADS, IT HASN'T HAPPENED TO ANYBODY ELSE EITHER.

YOU SEE, THIS IS NOT OUR FIRST RODEO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

NOT ANYBODY THAT'S SITTING HERE, NOT OUR FIRST RODEO.

AND WE HAVE COMPASSION AND WE HAVE UNDERSTANDING.

BUT I WANT YOU TO. I WANT YOU TO REALIZE SOMETHING.

IF YOU WANT TO GET SOMETHING SWEET, TREAT IT SWEET.

[00:30:01]

THERE'S NINE SIBLINGS IN THAT HOUSE, AND THEY'RE ALL INVOLVED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN SOMETHING AT SOME POINT THAT DOES NOT PROVE THAT THEY'RE DOING WHAT YOU'RE ACCUSING OF. OKAY. WE KNOW WHAT OUR RULES ARE. WE KNOW WE GO TO JAIL IF THAT HAPPENS. THE THING IS, WE'RE KIND. WE DON'T, DO HOLD YOU TO THOSE SAME STANDARDS BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND WE HAVE COMPASSION FOR WHERE YOU ARE.

SO MY SUGGESTION TO ALL OF YOU IS TO UNDERSTAND THESE SIX PEOPLE, MINUS JOHN BECAUSE HE'S RECUSED HIMSELF, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THAT DECISION.

SO CALLING US NAMES AND LOOK AT YOU CAN SIT HERE AND SHAKE YOUR HEAD MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN YOU SPECIFICALLY, BUT I'VE READ, I READ I AM I CONSIDER MYSELF A SOCIAL MALE VOYEUR.

I DON'T TALK TO YOU. I WANT TO KNOW HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT STUFF.

AND I GO ON AND I READ AND THERE IS SO MUCH MISINFORMATION OUT THERE.

THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO COME AND ASK FOR IT.

BY LAW, WE HAVE TO HEAR IT. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? NOW SHAKE YOUR HEAD. SAY YOU UNDERSTAND. THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GOING TO VOTE FOR IT.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE ALL BAD PEOPLE AND WE DON'T CARE.

I DON'T LIKE SCOLDING. I'M JUST SAYING LET'S RETURN OUR SOCIETY TO SOME KINDNESS.

THAT WILL GO A LONG WAY FOR YOU FOLKS. I'VE HAD PEOPLE CALL ME ALL KINDS OF THINGS OVER THE YEARS.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT? NOT TRUE. I COULD PROBABLY COUNT ON ONE HAND THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I'VE CALLED ANY OF THESE PEOPLE ON THE PHONE. WE DON'T DO THAT. WE LOVE EACH OTHER, AND WE RESPECT EACH OTHER.

BUT WE DON'T DO THAT. AND I CAN. I CAN SIT UP HERE AND HONESTLY SAY, I DON'T DO THAT.

IT'S BOTHERED ME A LOT BECAUSE SINCE THE PANDEMIC, PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN NASTY.

YOU NOTICE THAT, LIKE, I WATCH PEOPLE YELLING AT CLERKS IN THE STORE AND NOT NICE TO EACH OTHER AND, YOU KNOW, JUST LET'S JUST TRY TO BE KIND AND LET'S TRY TO WORK IT TOGETHER, YOU KNOW? AND MAYBE, MAYBE THERE'S A WAY TO RECTIFY EVERYTHING, BUT DO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T DO YOU ANY GOOD.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER, THANK YOU.

FOR THE SAKE OF TIME, I'LL JUST SAY THAT I APPRECIATE COUNCILWOMAN COUNCILMEMBER COMERFORD REMARKS, AND I AGREE WITH HIM AS WELL. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. VICE MAYOR. THANK YOU.

MAYOR. I WANT TO GET THIS RIGHT. SO I WROTE IT DOWN. I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO ADDRESS A COMMUNITY REGARDING THE PROPOSED LINDA VISTA ANNEXATION AND THE GOING, AND THE ONGOING COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK THE COUNCIL HAS RECEIVED FOR OVER A MONTH NOW.

ON APRIL 15TH, 2025, MAYOR JON POST DECLARED A CONFLICT ON AN AGENDA ACTION ITEM AND RECUSED HIMSELF FROM THE DAIS AFTER THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION PRESENTATION. THE COUNCIL INFORMALLY AGREED TO DIRECT STAFF TO BEGIN EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL ANNEXATION OF 52 ACRES IN THE LINDA VISTA AREA, CURRENTLY LOCATED IN UNINCORPORATED PIMA COUNTY.

[00:35:01]

WE'RE AWAITING THE APPLICATION AND COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS THAT WILL PROVIDE US WITH THE EMPIRICAL AND FACTUAL INFORMATION TO HELP DETERMINE WHETHER THE ANNEXATION IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE TOWN OF MARANA AND OUR RESIDENTS.

IF THE TOWN APPROVES THE ANNEXATION, REZONING WOULD FOLLOW AS THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS AND IN THE PROCESS.

SORRY, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT NO DECISION OR APPROVAL HAS BEEN MADE BY THE TOWN COUNCIL REGARDING THIS ANNEXATION. CONTRARY TO THE CLAIMS MADE IN A RECENT OPINION LETTER LETTER BY MR. RANNEY TO THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR, THIS IS NOT A PROJECT THAT WAS QUIETLY PUT IN MOTION YEARS AGO.

SINCE THE APRIL 15TH, 2025 MEETING, WE'VE LISTENED RESPECTFULLY TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

HOWEVER, THIS SAME COURTESY HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO THE COUNCIL.

AT BEST, YOUR REMARKS ARE PURE CONJECTURE. MANY OF THE STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN SPECULATIVE, MISLEADING, HIGHLY EMOTIONAL, AND IN SOME CASES JUST LIES.

CONCERNS REGARDING WATER, TRAFFIC, WILDLIFE HAVE BEEN FALSE.

YOU HAVE DISREGARDED THAT. ALL OF US HAVE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

RIGHTS WHICH APPLY EQUALLY TO MR. DAN POST AND MR. GOODMAN. IN 20 YEARS ON THE TOWN COUNCIL, I'VE NEVER WRITTEN A STATEMENT LIKE THIS.

AND IT SADDENS ME TO HAVE TO DO IT, TO WRITE ONE NOW, I'VE MET SOME OF THE FEW OF YOU, A FEW.

I'M SORRY. I'VE MET SOME OF YOU. A FEW KIND ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE ASSISTANCE I OFFERED YOU ON THE OASIS PROJECT SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

MR. CARR, YOUR ONE AND I THINK RANDY TO RANDY.

AND THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN, AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND I THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING BACK THEN.

THAT WAS NOT A PLEASANT TIME EITHER, BUT WE GOT THROUGH IT.

I WORKED AS A CONTRACT NEGOTIATION MANAGER FOR 32 YEARS FOR SEVERAL FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES.

I HAVE WORKED AS A CONTRACT. AND I'M SORRY. I'VE PROUDLY CALLED MARANA HOME FOR 36 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN A PUBLIC SERVANT SINCE 1995, WHEN I STARTED SERVING ON THE MARANA PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

THROUGHOUT ALL THOSE YEARS. MY ETHICS, HONESTY, MORAL VALUES, INTEGRITY AND LEADERSHIP HAVE NEVER BEEN ATTACKED AS YOUR GROUP HAS DONE IN YOUR POSTS AND STATEMENTS AT THE CALL OF THE PUBLIC. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. YOU HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID THE POST FAMILY STANDS TO GAIN FINANCIALLY FROM THIS ANNEXATION, AND I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE ONLY POST FAMILY MEMBER THAT STANDS TO GAIN IS DAN POST AND HIS WIFE, THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY. FINALLY, I MUST SAY THIS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ON THE FENCE ABOUT THIS ANNEXATION, THE BEHAVIOR DISPLAYED BY THIS NEIGHBORS. THE NEIGHBORS MAY BE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD TO THEIR CAUSE AND ARE PUSHING THEM THE OTHER WAY.

FINALLY, I'M SORRY. GOING FORWARD, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU PRINT THINGS THAT ARE TRUTHFUL, CORRECT, AND ACCURATE. THIS ENTIRE COUNCIL REMAINS COMMITTED TO FOLLOWING THE APPROPRIATE LEGAL AND MORAL STEPS AS OUTLINED IN STATE LAW, AND DOING WHAT IS THE BEST FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF MARANA AND OF ITS RESIDENTS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. MAYOR. PROCLAMATIONS.

[ Proclamation Recognizing Ironwood Forest National Monument 25th Anniversary (Jill McCleary)]

AND IF PROCLAMATION RECIPIENT WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD.

[00:40:01]

WHEREAS THE IRONWOOD FOREST NATIONAL MONUMENT IS A RICHLY BIODIVERSE AND QUINTESSENTIAL SONORAN DESERT HABITAT.

ONLY A SHORT DRIVE FROM DOWNTOWN MARANA THAT ENCOMPASSES 189,713 ACRES AND PARTS OR ALL OF SEVEN MOUNTAIN RANGES, THUS PRESERVING A VAST AREA IN ITS NATURAL WILD STATE FOR THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

AND WHEREAS THE IRONWOOD FOREST NATIONAL MONUMENT IS A KEY PART OF THE TOWN OF MARANA.

ECO TOURISM INDUSTRY. AS THE TWO MAIN GATEWAYS TO THE MONUMENT FROM I-10 ARE THROUGH MARANA, AND WHEREAS THIS LARGE AREA PROTECTS ANCIENT LEGUME AND CACTUS FORESTS, HOME TO SEVERAL THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES.

AND THE LAST VIABLE BIGHORN SHEEP HERD INDIGENOUS TO THE TUCSON BASIN.

AND WHEREAS THE AREA HAS ABUNDANT ROCK ART SITES AND ARCHEOLOGICAL REMNANTS OF BOTH NATIVE AMERICAN AND PIONEERING AMERICAN STRUCTURES.

AND WHEREAS THE SILVER BELL MOUNTAINS SUPPORT THE HIGHEST DENSITY OF IRONWOOD TREES IN THE SONORAN DESERT AND GIVE THE MONUMENT ITS NAME.

AND WHEREAS THE IRONWOOD FOREST NATIONAL MONUMENT WAS CREATED BY A PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION ON JUNE 9TH, 2000. NOW, THEREFORE, I. JON POST, MAYOR OF THE TOWN OF MARANA, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM JUNE 9TH, 2025 AS IRONWOOD NATIONAL FOREST DAY AND CELEBRATE THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS NATIONAL TREASURE IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. WOW. GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THIS PROCLAMATION.

THE IRONWOOD FOREST IS JUST SUCH A GORGEOUS PLACE.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY EVERYBODY HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO THERE, BUT IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE TO HELP PROTECT THAT.

AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? I WOULD, YES. PLEASE, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE MICROPHONE OR.

THAT'S OKAY. I'D JUST LIKE TO THANK YOU, MAYOR POST AND ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE IRONWOOD FOREST NATIONAL MONUMENT.

I THINK IT'S A HUGE ASSET TO THE TOWN OF MARANA.

IT HAS OVER 100,000 VISITORS A YEAR, AND THOSE PEOPLE NEED FUEL, GAS, WATER, RV REPAIR, IF MY EXPERIENCE IS ANY INDICATION. HOTEL ROOMS AND SO FORTH.

SO IT'S REALLY NICE TO HAVE IT FROM AN ECONOMIC STANDPOINT.

IT'S EVEN NICER TO HAVE IT FROM AN ECOLOGICAL STANDPOINT.

THERE ARE IT IS A ESSENTIALLY AN OUTDOOR MUSEUM OF THE ENTIRE SONORAN DESERT.

THE PLANTS OUT THERE, SOME OF THEM, YOU HAVE TO GO ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO TO FIND ANOTHER ONE.

I MEAN, THERE ARE RARE PLANTS, RARE ANIMALS, AND ENDANGERED PLANTS AND ANIMALS THAT ARE SAFE THERE.

THE YOU KNOW, I WOULD OFFER I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER OFFICERS HAVE BEEN OUT THERE MORE THAN ONCE.

IF ANY OF THE REST OF YOU ON THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE A PERSONAL TOUR, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE YOU OUT THERE SOMETIME WE CAN WAIT TILL THE WEATHER COOLS A LITTLE BIT, OR WE CAN GO EARLY IN THE MORNING. EITHER ONE.

BUT I'D LIKE YOU TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GIVE A SHORT PRESENTATION TO THE COUNCIL SHOWING YOU THE MAP WHERE SOME OF THE DIFFERENT MOUNTAIN. THERE'S SEVEN MOUNTAIN GROUPS OUT THERE, AND WE'RE THE BIGHORN SHEEP TEND TO ROAM AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT GETTING A HUNTING LICENSE.

YEAH, THEY ACTUALLY DO HUNT THE SHEEP OUT THERE.

THEY TAKE, THEY TAKE FOR A YEAR, WHICH THE HERD IS OVER 200 ANIMALS.

SO, FOUR RAMS A YEAR IS NOTHING. IT ACTUALLY HELPS THE HERD, IF ANYTHING.

SO ANYHOW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND BY THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU EVERYONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[00:45:08]

[ MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS]

AND IF ANYBODY HEARS SOMETHING ABOUT IT, GIVE ME THE INFORMATION.

BUT THEY MADE A ONE ROCK DAM AND THEY WERE REALLY BRAGGING ABOUT THIS, HOW THIS LITTLE YOU PUT ONE ROCK STRATEGICALLY PLACED IN A LOW AREA, A MAN MADE WASH AREA OR WHERE DRAINAGE IS AND HOW THE TREES AROUND IT FLOURISH.

I WENT OUT THERE A YEAR LATER AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THE TREES WERE FLOURISHING.

SO I ASKED THE PEOPLE OUT THERE ABOUT IT, AND THEN THEY SAID THEY GOT IT FROM A GUY THAT WAS OVER HERE VISITING FROM ISRAEL.

WHEN, WHEN HE WAS, WHEN HE WENT OUT THERE TO VISIT IT.

SO THEY TRIED IT. WELL, I JUST HAPPENED A COUPLE YEARS LATER, WAS ABLE TO GO TO ISRAEL AND SEE WHERE THEY'VE BEEN.

DOING THOSE FOR YEARS TO RESTORE THEIR CLIMATE IS ALMOST EXACTLY TWO HOURS.

THEY HAVE THE SAME DESERT LANDSCAPING, AND YOU COULD SEE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE DESERT THAT THEY HAD OVER THERE, WHERE THEY HAD GREEN TREES GROWING AND LIFE OUT THERE.

AND WHEN YOU WHEN I TALK TO THE TOUR GUIDE. OH, YEAH, THAT'S WHERE THEY STARTED.

THE ONE ROCK DAM, THAT'S WHERE THEY GOT A ONE ROCK DAM OVER THERE.

AND IT JUST THE TIME, THE EFFORT THAT THEY'VE PUT IN NOW WILL SHOW FOR YEARS TO COME OUT IN THAT DESERT AREA OF RESTORING AREAS AND JUST MAKING THE DESERT FLOURISH.

IN HELPING THE DESERT. BUT THAT WAS GREAT. THANK YOU, JOHN.

COUNCIL MEMBER MURPHY. JUST REALLY QUICK. I JUST WANT TO SAY IT'S GREAT TO LIVE IN A COMMUNITY THAT IS SO THERE'S SO MUCH ALWAYS GOING ON, AND I GET TO DO A LOT OF THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I'M SO ACTIVELY INVOLVED. BUT GRADUATIONS WERE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.

I GOT TO TOUR THE CHILD SAFETY DEPARTMENT. THAT WAS REALLY NEAT.

GOT TO MEET A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE IN DOVE MOUNTAIN THIS LAST WEEKEND THAT ARE MOVING TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND THEY'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR ALWAYS WELCOMING US AND GETTING TO SEE SO MANY GREAT EVENTS AND BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN SO MANY GREAT THINGS. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER CAVANAGH.

YEAH, A COUPLE OF THINGS. COUNCIL MEMBER MURPHY MENTIONED THAT WE DID.

JOHN OFFICER. AND TERRY MURPHY WERE ABLE TO SEE THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF CHILD PROTECTION BUILDING.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL OPERATION AT INA AND SILVER BELL.

THEY'RE OPENED UP NOW. GOT A GREAT TOUR YESTERDAY.

GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE THERE. THEY HIRED ANYWHERE FROM 60 TO 90 PEOPLE.

THEY'RE ALL ABOUT, YOU KNOW, KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER, HELPING KIDS THAT NEED KIDS, GETTING THEM OUT OF BAD SITUATIONS, MAKING SURE THEY GET BACK TO THEIR FAMILIES. SO IT WAS A GOOD TOUR.

VERY EYE OPENING. THANKS FOR BEING HERE. ALSO, JUST REAL QUICK IF I COULD.

HOT, HOT WEATHER AND DOGS AND CARS. OKAY. I WAS IN ARIZONA PAVILIONS THIS WEEK GOING THROUGH THE WALMART PARKING LOT, AND THERE WAS MARANA ANIMAL CONTROL THERE, AS WELL AS MARANA POLICE DEPARTMENT WORKING ON A CAR THAT HAD A DOG IN THERE.

AND IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY. THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THAT DOG OUT OF THE CAR, GIVE HIM SOME WATER.

AND THEY DID. AND IF THEY, YOU KNOW, GOT IT INTO THE MARANA ANIMAL CONTROL TRUCK, WHICH IS GOT WONDERFUL AIR CONDITIONING IN IT FOR THE SUMMER AND A HEATER IN THERE FOR THE, FOR THE FOR THE FOR THE WINTER. HER AND THE OWNER OF THAT CAR CAME OUT, AND THEY DID CITE HER BECAUSE IT'S A, YOU KNOW, IT'S A IT'S A MAJOR OFFENSE, YOU KNOW, ABUSING A DOG LIKE THAT.

AND IT'S USUALLY A DOG. I KNOW IT COULD BE A CAT, BUT IT'S USUALLY A DOG.

BUT WE JUST NEED ALL OF THE RESIDENTS IN MIRANDA SHOULD REMEMBER, DON'T LEAVE YOUR DOGS IN CARS WHEN YOU EVEN GO IN FOR A QUICK RUN INTO THE STORE.

THAT'S ALL I HAD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER COMERFORD.

NO, MAYOR. I THINK I'VE DONE ENOUGH. VICE MAYOR.

NO REPORT. MAYOR. THANK YOU. LET'S SEE, I DID A FEW THINGS EARLIER LAST WEEK.

YOU KNOW, I AM JUST SO PROUD OF OUR MARANA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THEY CONTINUE TO JUST KILL IT. LAST WEEK, THEY HAD THE GRADUATION FOR THEIR SECOND IMPACT MARANA CLASS, AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THERE'S A CHANCE THERE'S A MIGHT HAVE THE FIRST FISTFIGHT ON THE TOWN COUNCIL OF WHO GETS TO BE ON THE IMPACT NEXT. IMPACT MARANA. I'M JUST KIDDING. BUT IT'S SUCH A VERY POPULAR THING THAT THE CHAMBER HAS PUT TOGETHER AND IS DOING.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST CONTINUE TO SHINE A LIGHT ON OUR COMMUNITY, ON THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE OUR COMMUNITY GO AROUND OUR BUSINESS MEMBERS THEY

[00:50:02]

AND THEN I WENT TO THE AND SPOKE AT THE TUCSON REALTORS ASSOCIATION WITH MR. ROZEMA. GREAT TURNOUT. WE PROBABLY HAD 75 PEOPLE THERE IN THE ROOM.

YOU KNOW, JUST VERY HUNGRY FOR WHAT MARANA HAS TO OFFER.

THE QUESTIONS THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THEM, THEY'RE VERY UP ON THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.

AND IT WAS JUST A REALLY GOOD GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT JUST REALLY HAVE BEST INTENTIONS FOR MARANA.

AND I WAS HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

MR. ROZEMA. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MR. MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

[ MANAGER’S REPORT: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS]

COMPARED TO MAY OF 24, WE HAD 167. SO AGAIN, WE DO HAVE QUITE A FEW PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDERWAY THAT HAVEN'T STARTED GOING VERTICAL BUT ARE PROBABLY JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS AWAY FROM THAT HAPPENING.

RECENTLY SENT OUT TO YOU KIND OF THE UPDATES ON THE MARK AND THE MEMBERSHIPS THERE AND THOSE JUST CONTINUE TO RISE FOR THE SAKE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND PEOPLE THAT ARE VIEWING THE TONIGHT'S MEETING.

2100 A LITTLE OVER 2100 MEMBERSHIPS HAVE BEEN SOLD AND 7397 MEMBERS.

SO THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN INCREDIBLY POPULAR THING FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WE CONTINUE TO SEE JUST A HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SHOWING UP DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

THEY HAD JUST 3800 PEOPLE THAT VISITED OVER MEMORIAL WEEKEND.

SO LOTS OF LOTS OF ACTIVITY THERE. COUNCIL, YOU'RE AWARE OF THIS, BUT FOR OUR COMMUNITY THE JUNE 20TH UNVEILING OF OUR MOST RECENT ARTWORK WINGS OVER MARANA IS GOING TO BE DONE OUT AT THE AIRPORT.

THAT WAS DONE BY STUDENTS OUT AT MARANA UNIFIED SCHOOL, MARANA HIGH SCHOOL.

AND SO, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO UNVEILING THAT, ANOTHER REALLY COOL PIECE OF ART FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, TOO, THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS HAVING A COUPLE OF ACADEMIES.

THEY'RE DOING THEIR FIRST EVER TEEN ACADEMY, AND THEY'RE ALSO DOING A CITIZEN'S ACADEMY AND TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR THAT.

THAT'S GOING TO RUN FROM AUGUST 20TH 7TH TO NOVEMBER 19TH.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE THE DATES FOR THE TEEN ACADEMY, BUT I THINK THAT'S STARTING NEXT WEEK.

STARTING NEXT WEEK. AND WE CONTINUE TO GET LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT TANGERINE AND I-10, AND WE DID A PODCAST ABOUT THAT, ALSO GAVE SOME GREAT UPDATES ON WHERE WE'RE AT, WHAT WE CAN EXPECT, AND I THINK THAT'S COMING ALONG WELL.

SO HOPEFULLY THOSE RESIDENTS QUESTIONS GOT ANSWERED IN THE PODCAST.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU, MR. ROZEMA. AND I APOLOGIZE FOR FORGETTING, BUT I WANTED TO COMMEND YOU AND YOUR STAFF ON THE GREAT COUNCIL REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN COMING OUT AS OF LATE.

TRANSFER OF A SERIES SEVEN BEER AND WINE BAR.

LIQUOR LICENSE SUBMITTED BY JARED MICHAEL PINSKY ON BEHALF OF TUCSON SOCCER CENTER, LOCATED AT 7061 NORTH CAMINO MARTIN, SUITE 120, TUCSON, ARIZONA 85741. DO I HEAR A MOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION TO APPROVE. WE HAVE A SECOND.

ITEM PASSES UNDER D.1. ITEM D.1 RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS.

[ 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)]

[00:55:08]

MR. ANGEL. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, VICE MAYOR ZIEGLER AND COUNCIL AS WE DO THE FIRST MEETING OF EVERY MONTH.

DO DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY UPDATE. AND IRONICALLY, THIS MONTH THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYTHING NEW TO REPORT ON.

THERE'S NO. ARE YOU SERIOUS? YEAH. I MEAN, THERE'S NO NEW COMMERCIAL PROJECTS THAT YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY HEARD ABOUT.

CHIPOTLE'S GETTING READY TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE FRYE SHOPPING AREA.

AGAIN, HIGHLIGHT KFC AS BOULDER BUILDING PERMITS IS READY TO BREAK GROUND.

AND THE REASON WHY I CALL THAT ONE OUT IS BECAUSE, AS THE VICE MAYOR TENDS TO QUESTION ME ON WHEN WE LOOK AT BUSINESS LICENSES, WE HAVE ONE RESTAURANT IN THERE. THAT ONE RESTAURANT IS KFC.

AND THAT IS THE BUILDING THAT'S GOING ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD.

IT'S NOT THE RESTAURANT DIFFER ON KFC BEING A SIT DOWN.

WELL, IT DOES, BUT NOT THE TYPE. CERTAINLY, ISN'T WHAT I'M THINKING OF.

THANK YOU. JASON. UNDERSTOOD I KNOW. SO THERE ARE NO NEW RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF PLOTS THAT ARE WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS, BUT NOTHING NEW FROM THE LAND USE PERSPECTIVE.

THE ONLY LAND USE APPLICATION THAT IS CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS IS THE ANNEXATION.

AND WHERE WE STAND RIGHT NOW IS BASED UPON WHEN THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE READY TO PROCEED WITH THEIR SIGNATURES.

SO WE DON'T HAVE A MEETING SCHEDULED FOR THAT ONE.

PERMITS? COMMERCIAL PERMITS. WE HAVE EIGHT OF THEM FOR THE MONTH.

THREE OF THEM WERE NEW BUILDINGS. FIVE OF THEM WERE REMODELS.

THE BUSINESS LICENSES, A TOTAL OF 2114 WERE SERVICED FOR RETAIL, ONE ASSISTED LIVING, ONE RESTAURANT AND ONE MANUFACTURING RESIDENTIAL PERMITS. MR. ROZEMA WENT OVER 92.

I CAN SAY IN COMPARISON TO LAST YEAR, A BIG DIFFERENCE.

THERE WAS GLEN FARM'S BLOCK 42, WHICH IS THE WHERE THE PRIVATE POOL AND AMENITIES ARE THERE.

THAT BLOCK THEY HAD TRIED TO PUT IN AND GET ALL THEIR PERMITS ISSUED BEFORE IMPACT FEES WERE ADJUSTED, AND THEN ULTIMATELY, THEY DECIDED THEY WEREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO START THAT MANY.

SO THOSE PERMITS WERE PULLED BACK AND WILL BE REISSUED AT A LATER DATE.

SO MULTIFAMILY. THERE'S NOTHING NEW THERE. THE ONES I WANTED TO GET INTO IS FROM THE BUILDING PERMIT STANDPOINT, WE'RE STILL VERY BUSY WITH BUILDING PERMITS, SLIGHTLY DOWN FROM MONTHS PAST, BUT STILL ABOUT 300 BUILDING PERMITS THAT WERE ISSUED.

AND INSPECTION WISE VERY BUSY 1600 BUILDING INSPECTIONS WERE PERFORMED LAST MONTH BY OUR TEAM.

THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. AND I'M ESPECIALLY THANKFUL AND I KNOW WE ALL ARE, THANKFUL FOR THE GUYS AND THE LADIES THAT ARE OUT IN THE FIELD DOING THE WORK, ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN IT'S GETTING REALLY HOT. BUT OUR TEAM IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB GETTING THOSE INSPECTIONS DONE AND COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

WITH THAT, MR. MAYOR, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR JASON? I HAD ONE FOR JASON.

THE BIG APARTMENT COMPLEX BEHIND THE TARGET RIGHT THERE OFF OF INA.

ARE THEY IN THEIR FINAL INSPECTION OR ARE THEY CLOSE? MAYOR POST COUNCIL MEMBER CAVANAUGH. THAT PROJECT HAD A DELAY WHERE THEY ACTUALLY THE OWNERSHIP OR THE DEVELOPER PARTED WAYS WITH THE PREVIOUS CONTRACTOR THAT WAS SELECTED TO LEAD THAT. I'M NOT GOING TO SPECULATE ON WHAT THE DIFFERENCES WERE, BUT THEY PARTED WAYS. THERE WAS A SEPARATION.

AND RECENTLY, A NEW CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN AWARDED THE PROJECT TO FINISH THAT OUT.

THEY HAVE MET WITH OUR TEAM TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHERE THEY NEED TO PICK UP TO COMPLETE THAT PROJECT, AND THEY'RE WORKING TO GET THAT UP AND RUNNING. SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE IT GET BACK ON TRACK.

BUT THEY STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AT LEAST OF WORK TO BE DONE.

THANK YOU. YES. ANYONE ELSE? JASON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. D.2, ITEM D2 RELATING TO LEGISLATION AND GOVERNMENT ACTIONS, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION OR DIRECTION REGARDING ALL

[ Relating to Legislation and Government Actions; discussion and possible action or direction regarding all pending state, federal, and local legislation/government actions and on recent and upcoming meetings of other governmental bodies (Terry Rozema)]

MR. ROZEMA. MR. MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL MAKE THIS SUPER QUICK.

THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY MOVEMENT ON ANY ITEMS OF INTEREST TO THE TOWN.

PERFECT. WE HAVE NEED FOR TWO EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

[ 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.]

[01:00:04]

CAN I GET A MOTION FOR THAT? SO MOVED. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. WE ARE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. CALL THIS MEETING BACK INTO SESSION.

MISS FARRELL, ARE WE ON DAVID? NOT YET. GIVE ME JUST 30S.

WE'RE GOOD. I'D LIKE TO CALL THIS MEETING BACK INTO SESSION.

MISS FARRELL. MR. MAYOR, IF WE COULD GET A MOTION TO ON ITEM E.2 DIRECT STAFF TO PROCEED AS DISCUSSED IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.

CAN I GET A MOTION TO THAT EFFECT? SO MOVED. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. CAN I GET A MOTION TO ADJOURN? OH. IS THERE ANY FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS? OH, WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. NEVER MIND ANY FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. NONE. HEARING NONE. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? MOVE.
