THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER SALAS.

I'LL SECOND THAT.

THAT SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

ALL RIGHT, AYE. AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? NO. WELL WITH THE 5-2, THAT DOES PASS.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE. WE ARE DOWN TO AGENDA ITEM TEN A OF OUR ROUTINE ITEMS. THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 2022-10, AN ORDINANCE SAID THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA, AMENDING THE FLAGSTAFF CITY CODE CHAPTER 1 TO 14 PERSONNEL SYSTEM BY AMENDING THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK OF REGULATIONS RELATING TO ALTERNATIVE WORK SCHEDULES, PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES, REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES, SEVERABILITY AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION IS TO READ ORDINANCE NUMBER 2022-10 BY TITLE ONLY FOR THE FINAL TIME.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL BRANDI SUDA.

YOUR INTERIM HUMAN RESOURCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR.

SO THIS IS THE SECOND READ AND ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK REGARDING THE ALTERNATE WORK SCHEDULE.

THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK CONTINUES TO REFLECT THE CITY'S INTENT TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING, INCLUDING TELEWORK FOR POSITIONS WHERE IT IS FEASIBLE, BUT REMOVES THE ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS WITH THE INTENT TO MOVE THEM TO A CITY MANAGER DIRECTIVE.

WHILE MUCH OF THE CURRENT ALTERNATE WORK SCHEDULE POLICY WILL BE MAINTAINED, A CITY MANAGER DIRECTIVE ALLOWS THE CITY TO BE FLEXIBLE AND NIMBLE TO MAKE ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES TO THE DIRECTIVE.

AS WE IDENTIFY ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED THROUGH OUR LEARNED EXPERIENCES AND AS THE CITY DETERMINES WHAT NEW HYBRID WORK ENVIRONMENT IS GOING TO WORK BEST FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR EMPLOYEES.

I, JEANNIE GALLAGHER AND CITY MANAGER CLIFTON ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THEN I MOVED TO READ ORDINANCE NUMBER 2022-10, BY TITLE ONLY FOR THE FINAL TIME.

I'LL SECOND. SECONDED BY VICE MAYOR.

ALL THOSE, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OPPOSED. THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY CITY CLERK AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF AMENDING THE FLAGSTAFF CITY CODE CHAPTER 114 PERSONNEL SYSTEM BY ADDING THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK OF REGULATIONS I'M SORRY, BY AMENDING THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK OF REGULATIONS RELATING TO ALTERNATIVE WORK SCHEDULES, PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES, REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES, SEVERABILITY AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

[00:05:02]

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE.

OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

ITEM 10B IS THE CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT TLLC PC LAND INVESTORS LLC REQUEST PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR GHOST TREE AT PINE CANYON P Z-21--LOCATED AT 3201 SOUTH CLUBHOUSE CIRCLE, A 12 UNIT SINGLE FAMILY HOME SUBDIVISION ON 7.87 ACRES IN THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL R-1 ZONE.

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION IS TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON.

HERE IN COUNCIL, GENEVIEVE PEARTHREE, SENIOR PLANNER IN THE CURRENT PLANNING SECTION.

I'M HERE TO PRESENT THIS REQUEST FOR GHOST TREE AT PINE CANYON PRELIMINARY PLOT APPROVAL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE.

OKAY. SO AGAIN, THIS IS FROM TLC, PC LAND INVESTORS, LLC FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL.

IT'S IN PINE CANYON AT 3201 SOUTH CLUBHOUSE CIRCLE.

THIS IS FOR A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION.

THERE ARE 12 LOTS ON 7.87 ACRES.

IT'S IN THE R-1 OR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE.

STAFF APPROVED THE PRELIMINARY PLAT ADMINISTRATIVELY ON MARCH 30TH AND MPAC APPROVED IT OR EXCUSE ME RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON APRIL 27TH.

AND THAT WAS A60 VOTE IN FAVOR.

SO HERE'S THE VICINITY MAP.

WE CAN SEE IT'S IN PINE CANYON IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF FLAGSTAFF.

IT'S IN THE NORTHWESTERN PART OF PINE CANYON.

SO IT IS PART OF THAT LARGER 660 ACRE PINE CANYON DEVELOPMENT.

IT IS ONE OF THE LAST UNDEVELOPED TRACTS AND IT HAS A RESOURCE PROTECTION OVERLAY.

SO THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT SLOPES AND TREES.

SO THE SUBDIVISION IS PROPOSING LARGER LOTS AND UNIQUE BUILDING ENVELOPES TO PROTECT A TREE AND SLOPE RESOURCES.

SO I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT.

SO HERE'S THE PLAT.

WE CAN SEE THE 12 LOTS.

THERE'S ALSO FIVE TRACTS, ONE OF WHICH IS THE NEW PRIVATE STREET THAT WILL GO THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF PINE CANYON.

AND THEN THERE'S ONE TRACT THAT WILL BE RESERVED FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN ANOTHER PHASE.

SO THERE ARE THREE FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL FOR PLATTS.

THERE ALL RELATE TO COMPLIANCE WITH CITY CODES.

THE FIRST ONE IS THE ZONING CODE.

THE SECOND ONE IS ENGINEERING STANDARDS, AND THE THIRD ONE IS THE SUBDIVISION CODE.

SO I WILL JUST START WITH THE ZONING CODE AND WE'LL PREFACE THAT THE PLAT DOES MEET CODE IN ALL THREE WAYS.

SO THE FIRST ONE IS IN THE ZONING CODE.

IT DOES MEET THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS.

SO THEY'RE IN THE DENSITY RANGE, THE LOTS ALL MEET THE MINIMUM SIZE, WIDTH AND DEPTH REQUIREMENTS AND THEY MEET THOSE RESOURCE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS THAT I MENTIONED.

SO HERE'S THE PLOT.

I SAID THAT THERE WERE UNIQUE BUILDING ENVELOPES.

WE CAN SEE THEM HERE.

SO THAT'S THE AREA THAT CAN BE DISTURBED ON EACH LOT FOR THE DRIVEWAY AND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOUSES.

SO THAT'S HOW WE PROTECT STEEP SLOPES AND TREES.

AND WE CAN SEE HERE THIS IS THEIR RESOURCE PROTECTION MAP SHOWING TREES AND STEEP SLOPE AREAS.

WE CAN SEE THERE'S QUITE A FEW OF BOTH.

SO MOVING ON, THE SECOND FINDING FOR APPROVAL IS COMPLIANCE WITH ENGINEERING STANDARDS.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S TITLE 13 AND CITY CODE.

SO IN THE EARLY 2000S, WHEN PINE CANYON WAS FIRST DEVELOPED AND APPROVED, THERE WERE INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYZES THAT WERE CONDUCTED FOR TRAFFIC, WATER AND WASTEWATER AND STORM

[5. CITY COUNCIL APPOINTMENT]

SO THAT MEANS THAT VERY LITTLE INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE NEEDED TO SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S REALLY EVERYTHING ON SITE.

SO NEW WATER AND SEWER AND THE ROAD AGAIN, THAT PRIVATE STREET THAT I MENTIONED AND A FEW STORM WATER BASINS TO CAPTURE RAINWATER.

SO WE CAN SEE HERE THOSE UTILITIES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE STREET, AS WELL AS THOSE LITTLE BLUE KIND OF OBLONG SHAPED THINGS.

THOSE ARE THE STORM WATER DETENTION BASINS.

SO THAT'S ALL THE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S NEEDED TO SUPPORT THIS PLAT BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DEVELOPED.

SO THE LAST FINDING FOR APPROVAL IS CONFORMANCE WITH THE SUBDIVISION CODE, SPECIFICALLY THE SUBDIVISION AND LAND SPLIT REGULATION.

SO THAT'S CHAPTER 11-20.

SO THERE'S THREE PARTS OF THAT.

THE FIRST IS THAT IT MEETS ALL THE PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS, WHICH IT DOES, WHICH IS WHY IT'S HERE TODAY.

THE SECOND IS THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM REQUIRED SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENTS.

SO THOSE ARE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT I MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDES.

SO IT DOES MEET ALL OF THOSE.

THE LAST ONE IS COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS FOR LOT SIZE DESIGN, STREET DESIGN, EASEMENT AND BLOCK DESIGN.

IT MEETS ALL OF THOSE AS WELL, WHICH IS WHY IT'S HERE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER TODAY.

SO IN SUMMARY, YOU WILL FIND THAT THIS PRELIMINARY PLOT MEETS THE THREE FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL.

AGAIN, THAT'S TITLE TEN, THE ZONING CODE, TITLE 11, GENERAL PLANS AND SUBDIVISIONS, AND THEN TITLE 13.

THAT'S THE ENGINEERING DESIGN STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATION.

SO THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE PRELIMINARY PLAT THAT'S BASED ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIRED FINDINGS AS WELL AS THE PLANNING AND ZONING

[00:10:05]

SO THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE FOR MY PRESENTATION.

I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM, THEY CAN ANSWER THOSE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. PERRY. WITH THAT, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINDINGS PRESENTED IN THIS REPORT IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF APPROVAL 6-0 VOTE IN FAVOR ON APRIL 27TH, 2022.

SECOND.

SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? COUNCIL MEMBER ASLAN? YEAH. WELL, I GUESS WE'RE TAKING SOME OPPORTUNITIES TODAY WITH THESE AGENDA ITEMS TO DISCUSS SOME.

PERIPHERAL MATTERS.

PERHAPS I DID HAVE A QUESTION.

SO WHAT'S THE DENSITY HERE? I'M LOOKING AT THIS 1212 UNIT, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON 7.87 ACRES.

CAN YOU DO THE MATH FOR ME REAL FAST? YEAH, IT'S ABOUT 1.5.

SOMETHING.

ACRES PER HOME? UNITS PER ACRE. UNITS PER ACRE.

THANK YOU. ALSO, I'M JUST CURIOUS, WITH PINE CANYON IN GENERAL, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE RATE OF RATE IS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN THOSE HOMES VERSUS SECOND HOME OWNERSHIP? I HAVE NO IDEA.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE TODAY? I'M NOT SURE IF THEY WOULD KNOW EITHER.

BUT ANYONE FROM PINE CANYON HERE TODAY? HI, GENEVIEVE, THIS IS TODD SYVERSON WITH SYMMETRY COMPANIES REPRESENTING TLC, PC LAND INVESTORS.

I DO NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC STATISTIC ON THE NUMBER OF PRIMARY VERSUS SECONDARY, BUT I KNOW WE DO HAVE LONG STANDING AND SUPPORTING PRIMARY RESIDENTS WITHIN THE GATES OF PINE CANYON.

THANK YOU. THAT'S FINE. I'M NOT GOING TO BELABOR THIS TOO MUCH.

I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT, SOME SPACE TO JUST LIFT UP.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE FINDINGS.

OBVIOUSLY, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD.

ALL THE T'S ARE CROSSED AND ALL THE I'S ARE DOTTED.

IT IS FRUSTRATING FOR ME AS A COUNCILPERSON, YOU KNOW, TO BE IN THE POSITION OF OF SUPPORTING THIS ON THE FINDINGS WHEN ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VALUES AND IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE UNFORTUNATE MOMENTS OF TENSION FOR ME.

I THINK GATED COMMUNITIES IN GENERAL ARE JUST REALLY UNFORTUNATE.

SO I'LL JUST STATE THAT FOR THE RECORD, I GUESS IT'S PROBABLY NEITHER HERE NOR THERE, BUT I JUST REALLY DON'T APPRECIATE THEM.

I DON'T APPRECIATE WHAT THEY STAND FOR.

AND I ALSO THINK WITH A HOUSING CRISIS IN FRONT OF US, THE COUNCIL HAS DECLARED A HOUSING EMERGENCY.

THIS KIND OF.

OF ZONING AND COMMUNITY PLANNING SITS IN THE FACE OF THAT.

IT'S CONTRARY TO WHAT WE NEED IN FLAGSTAFF AND WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR HERE IN FLAGSTAFF, WHICH IS TO KEEP LOCAL RESIDENTS HERE IN TOWN LOCALLY IN AN AFFORDABLE MANNER.

AND THESE UNITS ARE ON WAY TOO MUCH LAND.

THEY'RE WAY TOO EXCLUSIVE.

AND THEY'RE THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT ARE BEING OCCUPIED BY FOLKS NOT FROM FLAGSTAFF WHO ALREADY HAVE A HOME IS WAY TOO HIGH.

AND SO I JUST TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THOSE THINGS OUT LOUD HERE AT THE DAIS.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY? THERE ARE TWO POINTS.

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GATED AT NIGHT, BUT IN THE DAY IT'S FREE ACCESS THROUGH THE ENTRANCE.

AM I RIGHT? I BELIEVE THERE WAS AN ORDINANCE PASSED IN.

NEITHER 2011 OR 2013 THAT REQUIRES THEM TO BE OPEN DURING THE DAY.

AND, MR. ASLAN, YOU KIND OF TRIGGERED A FEW THINGS IN MY LITTLE BRAIN.

INITIALLY WHEN THIS CANYON WAS LAID OUT.

THE DENSITY WAS SO LOW THAT IT DIDN'T MEET ALL THE CITY CODES.

SO MY RECOLLECTION WAS THAT THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT MADE THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD.

TO SORT OF AVERAGE OUT THE DENSITY TO A MORE REASONABLE NUMBER THAT THEY WOULD BUILD A PROJECT.

AND I THINK IT WAS CALLED TRACT 22.

AND I'M JUST WONDERING OUT LOUD.

IF WE SHOULD BE APPROVING.

PLANTS IN THIS PROJECT WHEN THE DEVELOPER HAS NOT FULFILLED.

[00:15:06]

THERE'S YOUR QUESTION.

I SEE SOME STAFF PEOPLE WALKING UP.

I HAVE READ THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE. I DO.

I'M AWARE OF TRACK 22, BUT I CAN'T QUOTE THE SPECIFIC DEVELOPER OBLIGATIONS AT THIS POINT.

I WILL SAY JUST REITERATE THAT THIS PLAT HERE IS A BUY RIGHT PROJECT AND IT DOES MEET ALL THE FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL.

I JUST WANT TO ADD SOMETHING.

JUST FYI, TRACK 22 IS CURRENTLY UNDER PERMIT REVIEW FOR CONSTRUCTION.

I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DENSITY OF THAT, BUT IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY DENSER THAN WHAT WAS INITIALLY PLANNED FOR THAT.

ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT IT ISN'T BUILT YET, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY IN THE.

IN THE CONVEYOR BELT, SO TO SPEAK.

CORRECT. I'M VERY PLEASED TO HEAR THAT.

I MIGHT ALSO MENTION THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF CONTROVERSY ABOUT THAT PROJECT THAT FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER CHARLIE ODER AND I GOT VERY INVOLVED IN THAT TO TRY TO WORK OUT AN ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE DEVELOPER, THE CITY STAFF AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND I CONSIDERED THAT A VERY STRONG SUCCESS STORY.

I'M REALLY GLAD TO HEAR THAT.

IT'S SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINE, MAYBE WITH SOME CHANGES, BUT IT'S MOVING FORWARD.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY.

WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE IF THERE IS ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.

COUNCIL MEMBER ASLAN? YEAH, JUST REAL QUICKLY, SO LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I DO THINK THE FINDINGS HAVE BEEN MET.

I'M PREPARED TO APPROVE THIS WITH RESERVATIONS.

I JUST WANTED TO NOTE FOR NEW COUNCILMEMBER HOUSE THAT WE LOVE TO TRY TO GIVE OUR CITY ATTORNEY, STERLING SOLOMON AND HIS TEAM ANEURYSMS AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. AND JUST HAVING FUN WITH THAT A LITTLE BIT TODAY HERE.

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THOUGH, I DO HAVE RESERVATIONS ABOUT THIS, BUT I WILL PROCEED WITH THOSE GRIEVANCES BEING VOICED.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY? SORRY TOO. I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE TECHNICALLY IT MEETS IT.

BUT. I DO THINK IT'S CONTRARY TO OUR BASIC GOALS OF PROVIDING HOUSING.

FOR EVERYONE.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, I ALSO REALIZE THAT WE NEED DIVERSITY IN HOUSING, MAYBE SOME VERY HIGH DENSITY HOUSING BALANCED OFF WITH SOME VERY LOW DENSITY.

[6. PROCLAMATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS]

SO I WILL BE VOTING YES.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER HOUSE.

THANK YOU. I DID JUST WANT TO NOTE AN AGREEMENT WITH BOTH OF YOU, SOME OF THE RESERVATIONS THAT I HAD ON THIS, I HAVE NO PROBLEM VOTING IT FORWARD. BUT I DID HAVE SOME OF THE RESERVATIONS WHEN IT CAME TO.

THERE WAS MENTION WITHIN THE PRESENTATION IN THE PACKET ABOUT THIS MEETING, THE GOAL FOR EQUITY, AND I HAD SOME QUESTIONS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT WAS TRUE AS WELL AS SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO AFFORDABILITY AND AND THOSE DIFFERENT STANDARDS THAT ARE PLACED ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT CREATE DIFFICULTY THAT I'M NOT SEEING PRESENTED AS PART OF THIS PLAN.

I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION IN TERMS OF THE IMPACT REPORTING THAT WAS DONE.

IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE PRESENTATION TO THE SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION THAT BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL IMPACT STUDIES THAT WERE DONE TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE FULL DEVELOPMENT, THERE WASN'T A NEED TO GO BACK AND REDO THOSE.

BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WAS JUST SHARED ABOUT THE TRACT 22 AND THE SHIFT IN DENSITY FOR THIS PARTICULAR TRACT.

IS THAT STILL TRUE? SO FOR THIS AND ALEX, I'LL LET YOU ANSWER FOR 22, BUT FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT, IT IS WITHIN THOSE.

IF ANOTHER ONE WAS CONDUCTED, NEEDED TO BE CONDUCTED FOR 22, THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

IT WAS ALL INCLUDED.

SO STORM WATER STAFF, WATER SERVICES AND TRAFFIC ALL REVIEWED IT AND DETERMINE THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE WAS SUFFICIENT AND NET NEW IMPACT ANALYSES WERE NOT NEEDED. THANK YOU.

OKAY. SORRY, I JUST.

I HAVE IT ON THE COMMENT SECTION.

DO NOT HAVE THE HANDS RAISED ASPECT OF THIS UP ON TEAMS. THAT WOULD BE STERLING.

[00:20:01]

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD NOT SEE HANDS RAISED JUST REALLY QUICKLY FOR COUNCIL WITHOUT GOING INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL.

YEAH, WE DO. I HAVE STOPPED SHORT OF AN ANEURYSM AND OUR STAFF.

I APPRECIATE THAT, COUNCIL MEMBER ASLAN.

BUT JUST FOR EVERYONE'S INFORMATION, THERE ARE ENTITLEMENTS.

HERE IT IS BY RIGHT, AS HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED BY RIGHT UNDER THE CODE.

AND I THINK IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR FURTHER DETAIL, WE'RE ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI? THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'LL BE QUICK.

I'LL SAY THAT I AGREE WITH MOST OF MY COLLEAGUES.

I'VE SPOKEN ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS.

I TOO STRUGGLE WITH THIS ONE, BUT RECOGNIZE THAT I'LL BE VOTING YES TONIGHT DUE TO A LACK OF ABILITY TO INFLUENCE THIS PARCEL AND THIS PROJECT.

BUT IT DOESN'T SIT RIGHT WITH ME AND I STRUGGLE WITH THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

WITH THAT, THERE IS A MOTION ON THE TABLE.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

ALL RIGHT. AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE'RE DOWN TO AGENDA ITEM 11A.

THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 2022-19, A RESOLUTION OF THE FLAGSTAFF CITY COUNCIL ADOPTING THE ARIZONA STATE RETIREMENT SYSTEM SUPPLEMENTARY SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN. GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL BRANDI SUDA, YOUR INTERIM HUMAN RESOURCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR.

SO THIS RESOLUTION IS ADOPTING THE ARIZONA STATE RETIREMENT SYSTEM SUPPLEMENTARY SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN, WHICH IS ADOPTING AN ADDITIONAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN OPTION FOR ELIGIBLE CITY EMPLOYEES, EFFECTIVE 7/1 OF 22.

SO SENATE BILL 1348 WAS PASSED IN MAY OF 22 OR MAY OF 21 AND REQUIRES THE CITY TO OFFER A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN THROUGH ARIZONA STATE RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES.

IN ADDITION, THE ARIZONA REVISED STATE STATUTES REQUIRE CITIES TO ADOPT ALL DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS VIA ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION.

AND THEREFORE, I AM HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY FOR THIS RESOLUTION, AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

I MOVE TO READ RESOLUTION NUMBER 2022-19 BY TITLE ONLY.

I'LL SECOND.

SECOND BY VICE MAYOR.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

AGENDA ITEM 11B.

YEAH. I'M SORRY. YEAH.

YOU GOT TO JUMP IN THERE, DON'T YOU? RIGHT ON. IT'S MY 10 MINUTES OF FAME.

A RESOLUTION OF THE FLAGSTAFF CITY COUNCIL ADOPTING THE ARIZONA STATE RETIREMENT SYSTEM SUPPLEMENTAL SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN.

I MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2022-19.

I'LL SECOND. SECONDED BY VICE MAYOR.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

NOW WE'RE DOWN TO AGENDA ITEM 11B, WHICH IS THE CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 2022 -20.

A RESOLUTION APPROVING BINDING WAIVERS AND ENFORCEMENT FOR 29 PARCELS OF LAND LOCATED IN THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF.

THIS RUBALCAVA? I THINK YOUR MIC'S NOT ON ACTUALLY.

NOW? PERFECT.

FANTASTIC. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

CHRISTINA RUBALCAVA, SENIOR ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY.

SO I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOME PROPOSED BINDING WAIVERS OF ENFORCEMENT THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING COUNCIL APPROVE AND RESPONSE TO PROP 207 CLAIMS. THAT THE CITY HAS RECEIVED BY WAY OF BACKGROUND.

ON NOVEMBER 17TH OF 2020, THE FLAGSTAFF CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED ORDINANCE 2020-28, AND THAT ORDINANCE MADE VARIOUS AMENDMENTS TO THE FLAGSTAFF ZONING CODE. WE REFER TO IT AS HIGH OCCUPANCY HOUSING, AND SOME OF THOSE CHANGES INCLUDED REQUIRING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR HIGH OCCUPANCY HOUSING, RESTRICTING HIGH OCCUPANCY HOUSING OF FOUR UNITS OR MORE TO THE PEDESTRIAN SHED OF AN ACTIVITY CENTER, ADDING PARKING, BEDROOM, BATHROOM AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS.

SO THIS YEAR, IN FEBRUARY, MARCH AND APRIL, WE RECEIVED UP TO SEVEN CLAIMS ON BEHALF OF 29 PARCELS OF LAND.

[00:25:03]

AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, WHAT WE CALL PROP SEVEN IS RS 12 1134.

AND IT PROVIDES THAT IF THE EXISTING RIGHTS TO USE, DIVIDE, SELL OR POSSESS PRIVATE, REAL PROPERTY ARE REDUCED BY THE ENACTMENT OR APPLICABILITY OF ANY LAND USE LAW ENACTED AFTER THE DATE THE PROPERTY WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE OWNER AND THE THAT ACTION REDUCES THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.

THEN THE OWNER IS ENTITLED TO JUST COMPENSATION FROM THE CITY.

AND SO THE LANDOWNER HAS TO MAKE A WRITTEN DEMAND FOR SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF JUST COMPENSATION WHICH HAS BEEN DONE.

AND THEN THE CITY HAS 90 DAYS TO PAY, AMEND THE LAW OR PERMANENTLY WAIVE ENFORCEMENT OF THE NEW LAND USE LAW ON THE LAND OWNER'S PARCEL.

IF THE CITY DOES NOT ACT TO THE LAND OWNER MAY FILE A CLAIM FOR JUST COMPENSATION WITHIN THREE YEARS OF THE DATE THAT THE LAND USE LAW TOOK EFFECT.

AND JUST COMPENSATION FOR DIMINUTION IN VALUE IS THE REDUCTION IN FAIR MARKET VALUE RESULTING FROM THE LAND USE LAW, FAIR MARKET VALUE BEING THE MOST LIKELY PRICE WHICH THE LAND WOULD BRING FOR SALE ON THE OPEN MARKET.

SO IF APPROVED BY COUNCIL, THEN THE CITY WILL AGREE AND DECLARE THAT THE ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS WILL NOT BE ENFORCED OR APPLICABLE TO THE ENTIRETY OR ANY PORTION OF THE 29 PROPERTIES IDENTIFIED IN THE BINDING WAIVER OF ENFORCEMENT ATTACHED TO THE STAFF SUMMARY AS EXHIBIT A TO THE RESOLUTION.

AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, MS. RUBALCAVA. ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCIL? COUNCIL MEMBER SALAS? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU, MS. RUBALCAVA, FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

MAY I ASK YOU TO REFRESH MY MEMORY IN TERMS OF.

COUNCIL APPROVED A WAIVER SO FAR WITH REGARD WITH REGARDS TO THE HIGH OCCUPANCY HOUSING.

I REMEMBER WE WERE READY.

THIS MAY BE THE THIRD OR FOURTH ROUND THAT WE ARE APPROVING WAIVERS.

YOU'RE CORRECT. I BELIEVE IT IS THE FOURTH ROUND.

I THINK IN TERMS OF NUMBERS OF PROPERTY, WE'RE A LITTLE OVER 100.

I WONDER. IF TIFFANY HAS A MORE SPECIFIC ANSWER.

120 RANGE ISH.

THAT SOUNDS RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I'D LIKE TO ASK COUNSEL.

MAYBE I'LL ARTICULATE IT NOW AND BRING IT UP AS A FAIR ITEM.

PERHAPS IT'S TIME TO REVIEW THE.

THE. I'M BLANKING.

YEAH. THE SPECIFIC, SPECIFIC ITEMS ON THE HOH.

PLAN THAT HAS BEEN INVITING UP TO SEVEN CLAIMS. SO SPECIFIC PROVISION OF THE PLAN AND AND THE ORDINANCE THAT HAS BEEN INVITING UP TO SEVEN CLAIMS BECAUSE WE HAVE GRANTED OVER 120 WAIVERS PERPETUALLY WAIVING.

THE. OR EXCLUDING SPECIFIC PROPERTIES WITH REGARD TO HOH AND THE CORRESPONDING ORDINANCE.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER SALAS.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS BEFORE I ENTERTAIN A MOTION? ALL RIGHT WITH THAT, I MOVE TO AC0 COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI? YEAH, PLEASE JUMP IN. SORRY.

I WAS A VERY LAST SECOND ATTEMPT TO MAKE A COMMENT.

I APOLOGIZE. YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY I'M FINE WITH US APPROVING THESE THESE CLAIMS AND THESE WAIVERS.

I DEFINITELY DON'T THINK THERE'S A NEED TO REVIEW THE HOH PLAN AT THIS MOMENT.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE PARCELS DON'T COVER MUCH OF A FOOTPRINT.

BUT IF COUNCIL DESIRES TO DISCUSS THIS AGAIN, I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR NEW ELECTED A NEW COUNCIL MEMBER.

BUT I'M PERSONALLY JUST WANTING TO MAKE IT CLEAR I'M NOT INTERESTED IN CHANGING THINGS AT THIS MOMENT.

BUT YEAH, I'LL LET THAT PLAY OUT HOW IT DOES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI.

I'LL JUST SAY, I THINK ANY DECISIONS WE MAKE, ESPECIALLY AS LARGE AS THE HOH PLAN, NEED CONTINUOUS EVALUATION.

SO I APPLAUD COUNCIL MEMBER SALAS FOR SUGGESTING WE DO THAT REEVALUATION.

BUT THE DECISION TONIGHT IS REGARDING THESE 29 PARCELS OF LAND.

[00:30:02]

I'LL SECOND. SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HOUSE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY CITY CLERK, A RESOLUTION OF THE FLAGSTAFF CITY COUNCIL APPROVING BINDING WAIVERS OF ENFORCEMENT FOR 29 PARCELS OF LAND WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF.

THANK YOU. I MOVE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2022-20.

SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HOUSE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

IT IS 4:55 RIGHT NOW, WHICH MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO TAKE A SMALL BREAK IN CASE SOME OF OUR DISCUSSION ITEMS HERE IN A LITTLE WHILE WILL BE A LITTLE LONGER.

SO LET'S TAKE A BREAK AND BE BACK HERE AT 5:10 P.M.

START. SO 15 MINUTES.

ALL RIGHT, SPORTS FANS, LET'S GET BACK ON IT HERE.

WE ARE DOWN TO AGENDA ITEM 11C.

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF LEASE AMENDMENT FLAGSTAFF AIRPORT RENTAL CAR CONCESSIONS IFB2011-09A, AMENDMENT TO LEASES WITH AVIS BUDGET CAR RENTAL LLC ALAMO RENTAL CAR NATIONAL CAR RENTAL, THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR COMPANIES AMENDMENT TO CURRENT LEASES WITH CURRENT COMPANIES FOR A ONE YEAR EXTENSION STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION IS TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CURRENT LEASE AGREEMENTS FOR LEASE RENEWAL FOR ONE YEAR BETWEEN THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF AND AVIS BUDGET.

ALAMO RENTAL.

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR COMPANIES.

AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

HI. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, BRICE DOTY, REAL ESTATE MANAGER.

I DON'T HAVE A FORMAL PRESENTATION FOR THIS ONE, BUT I'M AVAILABLE MYSELF AND EMILY MARKLE WITH PROCUREMENT FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

WHAT THESE LEASES REALLY DO IS AMEND ALL OF OUR CAR RENTALS AT THE AIRPORT.

THEY WERE CREATED OUT OF A PROCUREMENT THAT WE DID WAY BACK IN 2010, AND THOSE HAVE BEEN AMENDED AND EXTENDED FOUR SUCCESSIVE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

THEY'RE GETTING OLD. IT'S TIME TO GO BACK TO PROCUREMENT.

LAST YEAR WE KIND OF HAD SOME INITIAL DISCUSSIONS.

DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THE BUSINESS CLIMATE WITH THE COVID IMPACTS WAS A GOOD TIME TO GO FOR NEW BIDS WITH WITH THE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY.

SO NOW WE'RE HERE TODAY, OUR LEASES HAVE ANOTHER MONTH TO GO AND WE'RE THINKING THIS NEXT YEAR IS BE A GREAT TIME TO TO FORMALLY SOLICIT FOR NEW CAR CONCESSIONS AND GET FRESH LEASES.

BUT WE'RE LOOKING FOR AN EXTENSION OF A YEAR OR TWO TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.

THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. THANK YOU, MR. DOTY. I MOVE TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE CURRENT LEASES AGREEMENT FOR A LEASE RENEWAL FOR ONE YEAR FOR THE ASSOCIATED COMPANIES.

I'LL SECOND. SECOND, VICE MAYOR.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU, MR. DOTY. THANK YOU.

NEXT IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11.

CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 2022-18.

A RESOLUTION IN THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA, CALLING A PRIMARY ELECTION TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 2ND, 2022, FOR THE PURPOSE OF NOMINATING TWO MAYOR CANDIDATES FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION.

MS. SALTZBURG? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL STACEY SALTZBURG CITY CLERK.

I AM HERE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO ASK FOR AN APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO CALL THE ELECTION OF AUGUST 2ND, 2022.

THIS ELECTION WILL BE A PRIMARY ELECTION TO DETERMINE THE TWO TOP MAYORAL CANDIDATES.

AT THIS TIME, WE DO NOT NEED A PRIMARY ELECTION FOR OUR COUNCIL MEMBER SEATS BECAUSE WE DID NOT RECEIVE THE REQUISITE NUMBER OF CANDIDATES TO NECESSITATE SUCH AN ELECTION.

SO THIS IS JUST FOR THE MAYORAL RACE.

THANK YOU. I MOVE TO READ RESOLUTION NUMBER 2022-18 BY TITLE ONLY.

I HAVE A SECOND. SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY CITY CLERK A RESOLUTION OF THE FLAGSTAFF CITY COUNCIL.

I'M SORRY. LET ME START OVER.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA, CALLING A PRIMARY ELECTION TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 2ND, 2022, FOR THE PURPOSE OF NOMINATING TWO MAYOR CANDIDATES FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION.

THANK YOU. I MOVE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2022-18.

SECONDED BY MCCARTHY.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE ARE NOW DOWN TO AGENDA ITEM 12A, PROPOSED FRAMEWORK FOR RESIDENTIAL, SOLAR AND ELECTRIC BIKE REBATES.

[00:35:06]

GREAT. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL NICOLE ANTONOPOULOS SUSTAINABILITY DIRECTOR.

I AM GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN AND JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT TO PULL THAT UP.

AND IF I MAY CONFIRM THAT YOU CAN SEE MY SCREEN.

YEP. GOOD TO GO.

FANTASTIC. WELL, I AM PLEASED TO BE HERE THIS EVENING TO DISCUSS A PROPOSAL PER THE COUNCIL'S REQUEST FOR A RESIDENTIAL SOLAR REBATE PROGRAM AND AN ELECTRIC BIKE REBATE PROGRAM.

LET'S SEE. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT MY MONITOR IS ADVANCING.

LET ME TRY THIS.

FANTASTIC. ALL RIGHT.

SO FOR OUR AGENDA THIS AFTERNOON OR THIS EVENING, I WILL FIRST REVIEW A FRAMEWORK FOR A RESIDENTIAL SOLAR REBATE PROGRAM, THEN AN ELECTRIC BIKE REBATE PROGRAM, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO A DISCUSSION.

SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO START WITH IS JUST WHY A RESIDENTIAL SOLAR AND ELECTRIC BIKE REBATE FRAMEWORK.

THE CARBON NEUTRALITY PLAN, WHICH WAS ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL IN 2021, GUIDES EQUITABLE SOLUTIONS FOR MITIGATING AND ADAPTING TO LOCAL CLIMATE CHANGE THREATS AND REACHING CARBON NEUTRALITY BY 2015.

BOTH THE FRAMEWORKS IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL THIS AFTERNOON EMPHASIZED THE NEED TO DECREASE FLAGSTAFF DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUEL DERIVED ENERGY AND SHIFT TOWARD RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES, ALSO TO DECREASE FLAGSTAFF DEPENDENCE ON GASOLINE POWERED VEHICLES AND INCREASE MULTIMODAL TRAVEL OPTIONS TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND ENCOURAGE HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE.

SO THE CARBON NEUTRALITY PLAN IDENTIFIES A KEY TOOL FOR ACHIEVING CARBON NEUTRALITY, AND THAT IS HELPING TO FACILITATE TEN MEGAWATTS OF RESIDENTIAL SOLAR. AND THAT'S LOOKING AT AN AVERAGE SYSTEM SIZE THAT WOULD TRANSLATE TO ABOUT FIVE KILOWATTS PER HOME, WHICH WOULD NECESSITATE ABOUT 2000 RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATIONS. AND WE KNOW FROM OUR PREVIOUS WORK WITH SOLAR UNITED NEIGHBORS NORTHERN ARIZONA CO-OP THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS A VERY BIG INTEREST IN RESIDENTIAL SOLAR.

YOU'LL HEAR MORE FROM US NEXT WEEK ON THE LAUNCH OF OUR ROUND TWO OF THE SOLAR CO-OP.

BUT WE ARE PLEASED TO SAY THAT A TOTAL OF 641 KILOWATTS WERE ARE IN THE PROCESS OR HAVE BEEN INSTALLED THROUGH THE

[7. COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS]

AND THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL REBATES BUILDS ON THE SOLAR CO-OP'S MOMENTUM.

NOW I JUST WANT TO OFFER A REFERENCE AND ON AVERAGE AND THIS IS ON AVERAGE A FIVE KILOWATT SYSTEM IS ROUGHLY ABOUT $11,000.

SO AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT FEW SLIDES, JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND.

SO WE'VE CREATED THREE SCENARIOS FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER, AND THEY VARY BY DOLLARS PER KILOWATT REBATE.

AND OUR RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS VARIES FROM STATE TO STATE.

IT CAN BE $100 PER KILOWATT OR UP TO $650 PER KILOWATT.

AND IT'S ALSO BASED ON SOLAR SYSTEM EQUIPMENT, CREDIT RESEARCH THAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF PERCENTAGE OF SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS COSTS PAID TO THE HOMEOWNER IN THE FORM OF A REBATE OR STATE TAX DEDUCTIONS WE'VE BUILT IN FEATURES OF EQUITY.

AND WE REALLY THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ADD A COMPONENT TO ASSIST LOW INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

AND SO THE OPTIONS IN FRONT OF YOU WILL ALSO INCLUDE AN INCOME BASED FLAT REBATE TO ASSIST WITH INSTALLATION COSTS.

OUR RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT INSULATION COSTS ARE THE BIGGEST BARRIER, WHICH IS PROBABLY NO SURPRISE AND THE BIGGEST BARRIER TO MIDDLE AND LOW INCOME FAMILIES WHEN CONSIDERING TO GO SOLAR.

NOW WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU ON THE NEXT FEW SLIDES IS AN ASSUMPTION BASED ON A $50,000 BUDGET.

I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT IN THE CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL AND WILL BE MOVING FORWARD FOR CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION BY RESOLUTION NEXT MONTH. THE SUSTAINABILITY OFFICE HAS BEEN AWARDED, IF YOU WILL, A $25,000 BUDGET FOR THIS PROGRAM.

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS EXERCISE, I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF IMPACTS SCENARIOS.

[00:40:03]

NOW, THE FIRST SCENARIO IS A MODERATE INCENTIVE THAT IS BASED ON A $250 PER KILOWATT REBATE.

NOW, ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN IS AN ALL LOW INCOME CUSTOMER IMPACT ANALYSIS TO THE RIGHT IS A NO LOW INCOME CUSTOMER IMPACT ANALYSIS. AND AGAIN, THIS EXERCISE IS JUST TO SEE WHAT THAT FRAMEWORK AND THE RANGE OF WHAT WE CAN CREATE WITH PROGRAMING.

SO AS I MENTIONED, THIS FIRST SCENARIO IS A MODERATE INCENTIVE THAT IS BASED OFF THE $250 PER KILOWATT.

THE LOW INCOME COMPONENT INCORPORATES A FLAT REBATE OF $3,500 FOR LOW INCOME MEMBERS.

SO THE MAXIMUM REBATE PER HOUSEHOLD WOULD BE $4,500.

WITH A $15,000 BUDGET, WE CAN ASSUME THAT 11 HOUSEHOLDS WOULD BE SERVED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.

NOW, IF WE LOOKED AT A NO LOW INCOME CUSTOMER COMPONENT AT $250 PER KILOWATT, WE CAN SEE THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY REACH 50 HOUSEHOLDS.

THE NEXT SCENARIO IS A MORE AGGRESSIVE INCENTIVE THAT INCREASES THE KILOWATT REBATE UP TO $450.

AND THIS IS BASED ON A SIMILAR MODEL BEFORE WHERE THERE IS THE INCOME BASED FLAT REBATE OF $3,500.

NOW THE MAXIMUM REBATE PER HOUSEHOLD FOR LOW INCOME CUSTOMERS WOULD BE $6,500, SERVING JUST UNDER EIGHT HOUSEHOLDS.

IN THIS SCENARIO, WITH THE NO LOW INCOME COMPONENT, IT COULD POTENTIALLY SERVE JUST UNDER 17 TOTAL HOUSEHOLDS.

[8. APPOINTMENTS Pursuant to A.R.S. §38-431.02, notice is hereby given to the members of the City Council and to the general public that the City Council may vote to go into executive session, which will not be open to the public, for the purpose of discussing or considering employment, assignment, appointment, promotion, demotion, dismissal, salaries, disciplining or resignation of a public officer, appointee, or employee of any public body...., pursuant to A.R.S. §38-431.03(A)(1).]

SO AGAIN, FOR ALL LOW INCOME CUSTOMERS, THIS WOULD SERVE JUST UNDER SIX CUSTOMERS, WHICH MAXIMUM REBATE OF ABOUT OF $8,500 AND IN THE NEW LOW INCOME CUSTOMER COMPONENT.

SO THAT INCOME BASED FLAT REBATE IS IS REMOVED.

WE COULD SERVE ABOUT TEN HOUSEHOLDS.

I DID WANT TO ADD JUST SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS WE WERE DOING RESEARCH FOR THE FRAMEWORK.

WE DID SEE SOME UNIQUE AND COMPELLING EXAMPLES FROM ASPIRING PROGRAMS. AND SO, FOR EXAMPLE, OUR FRIENDS IN FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, ADD REBATES FOR ADDITIONAL SOLAR EQUIPMENT, APPLIANCES, SPECIFICALLY BATTERY STORAGE.

OUR FRIENDS IN VERMONT AND COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, ALSO HAVE ADDITIONAL REBATE PROGRAMS FOR SOLAR WATER HEATERS.

NOW MOVING ON TO ELECTRIC BIKES.

SUSTAINABILITY STAFF WERE ALSO OFFER ASKED TO PUT A PROPOSAL TOGETHER FOR ELECTRIC BIKES AND SIMILAR TO THE RESIDENTIAL SOLAR. THE CARBON NEUTRALITY PLAN IDENTIFIES THE KEY GOAL OF MAINTAINING VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED TO BE HELD AT 2019 LEVELS.

AND SO BY THE YEAR 2030, THAT WOULD BE A 17% REDUCTION IN VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED.

IN ADDITION, IT CALLS FOR ALL REMAINING 30% OF ALL REMAINING MILES TO BE ELECTRIC VEHICLE MILES.

AND WE KNOW FROM OUR PREVIOUS BIKE SHARE PILOT THAT WE CONDUCTED A FEW YEARS AGO THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS AN APPETITE FOR BICYCLE COMMUTING.

THE PROPOSED FRAMEWORK WOULD ALSO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES.

SO HERE IS THE FRAMEWORK THAT WE ARE PROPOSING, AND IT'S MODELED AFTER THE CITY'S SUSTAINABLE AUTOMOTIVE SALES TAX REBATE PROGRAM, WHICH IS HEADED UP BY OUR ECONOMIC VITALITY, FOLKS.

AND THIS FEATURES AN INCOME BASED EQUITY COMPONENT.

THIS ASSUMES THAT THERE'S A $25,000 ANNUAL BUDGET, WHICH IS IN THE CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET THAT WAS DISCUSSED LAST MONTH FOR A LOCAL PURCHASE OF EITHER A CLASS ONE OR CLASS TWO ELECTRIC BIKE.

THE REBATE WOULD BE $200.

WE ALSO WANT TO INSPIRE RETROFITTING.

RETROFITTING, EXCUSE ME, THE REBATE WOULD BE $250.

WE ALSO WANT TO INSPIRE RETROFITTING BIKES BY PROVIDING ELECTRIC BIKE CONVERSION KIT REBATES OF $200.

AND AGAIN, WE BELIEVE IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO ASSIST OUR LOW INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

AND SO WE HAVE PROPOSED AN INCOME BASED COMPONENT OF THIS REBATE FOR HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE LESS THAN 80% OF THE AMI.

THERE WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $250 INCENTIVE FOR BIKES AND CONVERSION KITS, BUT NOT TO EXCEED 100% OF THE COST.

[9. CONSENT ITEMS All matters under Consent Agenda are considered by the City Council to be routine and will be enacted by one motion approving the recommendations listed on the agenda. Unless otherwise indicated, expenditures approved by Council are budgeted items.]

[00:45:06]

CONVERSION KITS CAN RANGE FROM 300 TO $900.

SO SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS CHART THIS IS THE TABLE THAT COMPARES AND ALL LOW INCOME CUSTOMER IMPACT ANALYSIS VERSUS A NEW LOW INCOME CUSTOMER IMPACT ANALYSIS.

AND YOU CAN SEE HERE WITH THE INCENTIVES, WE COULD POTENTIALLY SERVE UP TO 50 CUSTOMERS WITH A $25,000 BUDGET FOR ALL LOW INCOME IMPACT ANALYSIS AND UP TO 100 PARTICIPANTS WITH THE NO LOW INCOME CUSTOMER ANALYSIS.

[A. Consideration and Approval of Contract: Legends Entertainment District Marketing Agreement for advertising in downtown Phoenix on an electronic billboard, for a two year term at cost of $78,000 per year. STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Contract with the Legends District.]

NOW, MOVING TO THE CONVERSION KITS, AS I MENTIONED, THESE CAN RANGE IN COSTS FROM $300 ALL THE WAY UP TO 900.

AND AS WE CAN SEE HERE, WITH THE ALL LOW INCOME CUSTOMERS, WE COULD SERVICE OR PROVIDE REBATES TO ALMOST 56 COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND WITH NO LOW INCOME CUSTOMERS, 125 AND THIS IS, OF COURSE.

ESTIMATING THAT THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS $25,000.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S CLEAR IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

THESE THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BE BLENDED TOGETHER WITH THIS BUDGET.

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS EXERCISE AND IMPACTS, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO INCORPORATE THAT FOR THE COUNCIL.

AND SIMILAR AS WE WERE DOING OUR RESEARCH FOR ELECTRIC BIKES AND RESIDENTIAL SOLAR, WE FOUND SOME REALLY INTERESTING ASPIRING PROGRAMS TO BE CONSIDERED, SUCH AS ELECTRIC RIDE VEHICLES, REBATES FOR ELECTRIC RIDE VEHICLES SUCH AS E-SCOOTERS AND SEGWAYS.

AND WE ALSO SAW EXAMPLES FOR BIKE ACCESSORY PURCHASES, SUCH AS HELMETS AND LIGHTS AND RACKS AND LOCKS, AS WELL AS INCENTIVES FOR BUSINESSES TO CONVERT THEIR VEHICLE FLEETS TO ELECTRIC BIKE FLEETS.

A FUN, INSPIRING NOTE IN TODAY'S NEWS.

THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS IS WORKING ON A STATEWIDE STATEWIDE REBATE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR E-BIKE PURCHASES FOCUSED ON VEHICLES USED BY COMMUTERS AND OR DELIVERY APPLICATIONS.

SO THAT WAS SOME SOME FUN NEWS TODAY.

AND THAT IS THE FRAMEWORK I HAVE FOR THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, NICOLE.

ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS COUNCIL? SURE. COMMENTS COUNCILMAN.

AND I MIGHT STRUGGLE THROUGH THIS QUESTION A LITTLE BIT.

MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME OUT.

NICOLE. SO I GUESS WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM IS AN UNDERLYING ASSUMPTION BASED OFF OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

I'M NOT ONE TO HAVE EVER REALLY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF REBATES.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'RE OUT THERE.

I. DON'T MAKE PURCHASING DECISIONS BASED OFF OF REBATE AVAILABILITY.

IT'S USUALLY A SURPRISE, A WELCOME SURPRISE AFTER THE FACT.

SO I GUESS IT'S SORT OF A WHERE'S THE NEEDLE ON THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS THROUGH ALL OF THIS? HOW HOW AND HOW DOES THAT WORK? AS YOU MOVE DOWN THE SCALE OF AM I THERE'S SOME ASSUMPTIONS BUILT IN THERE THAT I WANT TO EXPLORE, IF NOT CHALLENGE. BUT AND IT'S ALSO I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS REALLY ADDRESSES INCLUSIONARY CONSIDERATIONS.

MY I'M JUST TAKING A STAB HERE, AND THIS IS VERY, VERY LOW RESOLUTION, JUST SORT OF BROAD STROKE.

BUT MY GUESS WOULD BE AND SORRY FOR THE BLUNTNESS OF IT, BUT I GUESS I'M JUST GOING TO STUMBLE THROUGH THIS.

A WHITE FAMILY IS GOING TO BE MORE LIKELY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AND SEEK OUT AND KNOW ABOUT REBATES THAN A FAMILY OF COLOR.

AND THAT'S A JUST A TOTALLY BROAD ASSUMPTION.

AND I APOLOGIZE IF IT'S TOTALLY OFF THE MARK, BUT IT'S WHERE I'M COMING FROM IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD WHILE THINKING ABOUT THIS, I'M WONDERING IF YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO

[00:50:01]

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES AND ELECTRIFYING THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF FOR CARBON NEUTRALITY.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER ASLAN THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT ON POINT.

IT'S A WORTHY DISCUSSION.

AND AS STAFF, WE AGAIN WERE ASKED TO BRING THIS FRAMEWORK FORWARD FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.

AND WHEN WE DID OUR RESEARCH OF PROGRAMS FROM ACROSS THE NATION, OUR FIRST FILTER WAS EQUITY IN LOOKING AT PROGRAMS TO TRY TO ASSIST OUR LOWER INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO TAKE A STEP TOWARDS RESIDENTIAL SOLAR OR TO PURCHASE OF AN ELECTRIC MOBILITY DEVICE SUCH AS A BIKE.

AND SO WITH THAT IN MIND, THAT IS WHY WE WANTED TO PROVIDE THE COUNCIL WITH A FRAMEWORK THAT HAS A FOCUS ON PROVIDING A HEFTIER INCENTIVE TO LOW INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

BY NO MEANS IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE SET IN STONE ON IN TERMS OF BUILDING THE FRAMEWORK.

BUT WHAT I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS AFTERNOON WAS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AND THEN LOOK TO THE COUNCIL FOR DIRECTION IF THIS ISN'T HITTING THE MARK IN REGARDS TO EDUCATION AND OUTREACH.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

WHEN WE LOOK AT RESIDENTIAL SOLAR VERSUS ELECTRIC BIKES, IMPACTS ARE GOING TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER IN TERMS OF ACCESSIBILITY AND ELECTRIC BIKES. THAT'S ALSO MAKING AN ASSUMPTION THAT INDIVIDUALS HAVE MOBILITY, THAT THEIR ABILITY TO PURCHASE THESE UNITS IS COMPLEMENTARY OF THEIR LIFESTYLES AND AND SO FORTH.

WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS ON OUR COMMUNITY AND THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ACTUALLY ARE HOMEOWNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF ELEMENTS AND LAYERS HERE WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT EQUITY.

MY HOPE IS THAT IN MOVING FORWARD, WE ACTUALLY AND YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE FROM US NEXT WEEK IN TERMS OF AN UPDATE ON THE CARBON NEUTRALITY PLAN.

BUT WE HAVE ACTUALLY BROUGHT TOGETHER GROUPS.

WE HAVE A BUSINESS ADVISORY GROUP, A YOUTH GROUP, AND OUR APPLICATIONS FOR EQUITY GROUP CLOSED NEXT WEEK.

MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN REALLY LOOK TO THESE RESOURCES AND OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SAY, HEY, WE HAVE THIS PROGRAM, WE'RE BUILDING THE FRAMEWORK FOR IT.

HOW DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IT WILL BE MOST EQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED AND MOST ACCESSIBLE TO OUR COMMUNITY? MY SENSE IS THAT ESPECIALLY WITH THE ELECTRIC BIKE REBATE IS WE NEED TO GO TO OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND WE NEED TO START HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND SHARING THE INFORMATION THAT THERE ARE RESOURCES OUT THERE.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE FINANCIAL BREAKDOWNS, THAT WE'RE WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE MOVING THE NEEDLE TREMENDOUSLY.

AND THAT'S WHERE, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE RESIDENTIAL SOLAR, THE ADDITIONAL LAUNCH OF SOLAR UNITED NEIGHBORS, ROUND TWO, IN OUR FIRST ROUND, WE SAW ROUGHLY A 20% SAVINGS IN THE COST OF SOLAR THAT WAS INSTALLED.

AND WE'RE HOPING THAT COUPLED WITH A REBATE, IT CAN BROADEN THE CUSTOMER BASE.

AND AGAIN, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IN TERMS OF ACCESS, AND I THINK YOU HAD MADE MENTION PERHAPS ABOUT THE PERHAPS SOME OF THE DATA POINTS.

COULD YOU REITERATE THAT THAT COMPONENT OF YOUR QUESTION, PLEASE? I DIDN'T INVOKE ANY DATA SPECIFICALLY, JUST CHALLENGING THE NOTION THAT WE SHOULD BE COUPLING LOW INCOME AND AND DIVERSITY.

THOSE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND WE SHOULDN'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF JUST USING ONE AS A RUBRIC FOR FOR SUCCESS.

THAT'S ALL YOU KNOW AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP GOING ON THIS MEAN I HAVE NO DOUBT WE COULD TALK ABOUT THESE ASPECTS ALL EVENING FOR SURE.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE VOICE TO THEM A LITTLE BIT AS CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE LARGER DISCUSSION WE'RE GOING TO HAVE RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU, NICOLE. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER ASLAN COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY ? ONE THING I NOTICED, NICOLE, WAS THAT YOU WERE PROPOSING REBATES FOR TYPE ONE AND TYPE TWO ELECTRIC BIKES.

[00:55:02]

IS A TYPE THREE.

WELL ANYWAY, SO I DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE DETAILS, BUT MY COMMENT, I'LL JUST DO IT IN GENERAL TERMS. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE GIVING REBATES FOR BICYCLES THAT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE ON THE FOOT TRAILS.

AND IF YOU SET IT UP THAT WAY, THAT'S FINE AND I RESPECT THAT.

I ALSO KIND OF WONDER, YOU KNOW, I GUESS WHEN I WENT THROUGH THIS, I WAS KIND OF SURPRISED AT HOW FEW.

PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY BENEFIT FROM THIS PROGRAM.

AND YOU KNOW, IT ALSO OCCURS TO ME THAT WE'RE SORT OF.

SUBSIDIZING ONE PART OF THE COMMUNITY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY.

I KIND OF WONDER IF THIS SHOULD GO BEFORE THE VOTERS BEFORE WE REALLY IMPLEMENT IT, AT LEAST ON A MEDIUM TO LARGE SCALE.

SO. THAT'S MY ONLY THOUGHTS FOR NOW.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY. COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI? THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND THANKING NICOLE.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON THIS AND THIS TOPIC IN GENERAL.

I REALLY ALSO APPRECIATE THE FOCUS ON EQUITY.

AND NICOLE, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR US TO GIVE DIRECTION ABOUT OPTIONS ONE, TWO OR THREE OR JUST ARE YOU SEEKING INPUT? I'M STICKING INPUT.

AGAIN, I WAS ASKED TO BRING A FRAMEWORK BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION ON BOTH RESIDENTIAL, SOLAR AND ELECTRIC BIKE REBATES.

MY HOPE IS THAT WITH THIS DIRECTION THAT WE CAN THEN TAKE IT TO OUR EQUITY ADVISORY GROUP AS WELL FOR INPUT AS WE LAUNCH INTO BRINGING IN MORE VOICES INTO FRAMING OUR PROGRAMING.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. SO I THINK IN TERMS OF THE SOLAR COMPONENT IN THE THREE OPTIONS.

OKAY. ANOTHER QUICK QUESTION BEFORE I GIVE YOU MY COMMENT.

SO I THINK I UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU SAID THERE WAS $25,000 ALLOCATED, BUT IT WAS BUILT AROUND A $50,000 FRAMEWORK.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES.

AND THIS PRESENTATION WAS SUBMITTED TO IT WAS PUSHED BACK.

IT WAS SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE BUDGET DISCUSSIONS LAST MONTH.

AND SO, YES, BOTH PROGRAMS ARE CURRENTLY PILOTED AT $25,000 EACH.

OKAY. AND SO 25,000 FOR THE SOLAR AND 25,000 FOR THE EBIKE? YES. CORRECT.

OKAY. GOTCHA.

AND SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CHARTS THAT TALK ABOUT THE OPTIONS ONE AND TWO AND THREE, THAT'S ASSUMING 50,000 FOR EACH CATEGORY, WHETHER IT'S LOW INCOME.

SO THE COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY POINTS, YOU KNOW, I AGREE, A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING TO SEE HOW LITTLE IMPACT THIS CAN HAVE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A START COUNCIL AND I SUPPORT THAT START.

SO I THINK A MIX OF THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS MAKES SENSE TO ME, BUT I'D SAY WITH A HIGHER VALUE ON EQUITY.

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE MODERATE AND MORE AGGRESSIVE INCENTIVES, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT PRIORITIZED FOR THROUGH THE LENS OF EQUITY.

AND THEN FOR THE FIRST MORE, I THINK OPTION ONE, WE CAN DO THAT FOR ALL POPULATIONS AND THAT WILL GET US THE MOST BANG FOR OUR BUCK.

AND I'LL GIVE US SOME GOOD DATA ABOUT WHO'S WHO'S INTERESTED AND WHO'S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS, BUT YET CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FURTHER REBATE OPPORTUNITY FOR FOR LOW INCOME AND THAT THAT POPULATION.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT MAKES SENSE.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND NICOLE ON THE TOPIC OF SOLAR ON THE TOPIC OF THE BIKES, I FULLY SUPPORT IT.

NICOLE I THINK I SAW YOU NODDING YOUR HEAD.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY WE AREN'T CREATING REBATES FOR CLASS THREE.

THIS IS CLASSES ONE AND TWO, WHICH ARE ALLOWED ON OUR FOOT.

AND I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH US INVESTING AS A CITY IN THIS AS WE DO ON OTHER REBATE FRONTS.

THIS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE THROUGH THE LENS OF NEUTRALITY PLANS AND GOALS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WE VALUE.

SO AND NICOLE, I LOVE THAT WE'RE EXPANDING THIS TO CONSIDER HELMETS, LIGHTS, LOCKS AND RACKS.

OFTEN THIS POPULATION WHO DOES COMMUNICATE COMMUTE IN TOWN.

THERE ARE 30% OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS TO A CAR FOR WHATEVER REASON, AND RELY ON BIKES AND WALKING AND BUSSES AND OFTEN LIGHTS AND HELMETS AND LOCKS AND RACKS CAN BE A REAL BARRIER.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU.

AND YEAH, THAT'S WHERE I'M AT.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI.

VICE MAYOR? THANK YOU AND THANK YOU, NICOLE.

[01:00:03]

BUT BOY, THAT WOULD HAVE MADE THINGS A LOT EASIER FOR ME.

I THINK THE CHALLENGE WILL BE HOW DO WE GET THE WORD OUT TO THOSE THAT REALLY NEED THAT INFORMATION? AND I DO CHALLENGE YOU TO MAYBE COME UP WITH A CONCRETE PLAN ON THAT AND MAYBE COME BACK TO US WITH THAT.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW FOR ME, BUT I TOO, I'M WITH COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI THAT I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS THROUGH THE EQUITY LENS.

AND I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU BROUGHT THAT INTO THE PRESENTATION.

AND I DO LIKE THE FEATURE ELEMENTS ON BOTH SOLAR AND THE BIKE, THE E-BIKES.

THOSE ARE ALSO GREAT ADDITIONS TO THE PROGRAM AND I THINK WE DO NEED TO START SOMEWHERE AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT START.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR I'LL THROW MY TWO CENTS HERE.

AMIDST THE OPTIONS WITH THE LIMITED FUNDS, I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO PILOT THIS AT THE MODERATE LEVEL AS OPPOSED TO MORE AGGRESSIVE APPROACH WITH THE LOW INCOME INCENTIVES OR INCENTIVES, BUT REBATES THAT WILL BE HIGHER FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE OF A LOWER INCOME.

AND THEN WE CAN USE THAT PILOT TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH WE MIGHT NEED MORE OR WHAT INCENTIVES COULD BE IMPROVED TO HELP INDIVIDUALS UTILIZE IT.

BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT WITH THE CAR REBATE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND HYBRIDS, YOU KNOW THAT I UTILIZE THAT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

AND THE FACT IS, IS THAT THEN WORD SPREAD ABOUT A YEAR LATER THAT, OH, HEY, I ACTUALLY GOT A REBATE FROM AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE.

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN LAST FALL, IT WAS BOOM.

SO MANY PEOPLE WERE UTILIZING THAT.

WE RAN OUT OF FUNDS FOR IT.

RIGHT. RIGHT AWAY.

AND A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO BE SPREAD BY WORD OF MOUTH.

AND EVEN THOUGH WE SOME INDIVIDUALS MIGHT GO IN AND SAY, OH, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THERE WAS A REBATE, WELL, WHEN THEY DO, THEY'RE GOING TO TELL A FRIEND.

RIGHT. AND THAT'S GOING TO SPREAD.

AND I THINK THAT STARTING AT A THIS MODERATE INCENTIVE LEVEL, JUST AS A STARTERS, WILL HELP GET THE WORD OUT AND THEN WE CAN SEE ABOUT POTENTIALLY EXPANDING IT IN THE FUTURE.

SO I APPRECIATE THE MULTIPLE OPTIONS AND THAT'S JUST MY SUGGESTION IS I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THIS BEING PUT TOGETHER.

BUT LET'S, LET'S START WITH KIND OF THE SCENARIO A RIGHT HERE AS OPPOSED TO BEING TOO TOO AGGRESSIVE RIGHT AWAY.

AND THEN ONLY A HANDFUL PEOPLE GET IT AND THEN ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE TELL THEIR FRIENDS, ET CETERA ET CETERA.

SO. ANYWAYS.

THAT'S WHERE I STAND WITH THESE OPTIONS AND WHERE TO HOW TO PROCEED.

THANK YOU FOR. YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS AND GUIDANCE.

AND WE WILL BE BACK IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDED APPROACH.

AND I APPRECIATE THAT TIME.

I'M GOING TO CALL COUNCIL MEMBER ASLAN AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBER SALAS.

YEAH, I APPRECIATE YOU TRYING TO WRAP UP THERE IN A CALL.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY ONE THING BEFORE I REGRET NOT HAVING BEEN ABLE TO SAY IT.

SO AGAIN, THIS IS ANOTHER PART OF THIS CONCEPT THAT I'M JUST STRUGGLING THROUGH A LITTLE BIT.

MAYBE YOU CAN ARTICULATE IT BETTER THAN ME, AND I THINK THIS IS MORE TRUE FOR THE E-BIKES.

ALSO, I'M WONDERING WHY IT'S E-BIKES AND NOT JUST BIKES, BUT THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER CONVERSATION WE CAN HAVE ABOUT THIS.

SO. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE REBATES ARE GOING TO FOLKS WHO ARE LOOKING TO BUY AN E-BIKE, WHO ARE INTENDING TO ENGAGE IN THE PRACTICE OF USING THEIR BIKE TO CUT DOWN ON THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT.

AND NOT JUST AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE WHO WASN'T THIS WASN'T EVEN REALLY ON THEIR RADAR AND THEY'RE JUST TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A GREAT DEAL.

AND I DON'T WANT TO.

PRECLUDE SOMEONE IN THAT SECOND CATEGORY FROM THE FROM THE POTENTIAL OF THIS BECOMING A LIFE CHANGING OPPORTUNITY EXPERIENCE THAT THEY NEVER KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE AND THEY START BIKING ALL THE TIME.

[01:05:01]

I LEARNED A LONG TIME AGO NEVER TO GIVE AWAY BOOKS.

IF YOU GIVE AWAY BOOKS, PEOPLE WILL POLITELY TAKE THEM, BUT THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO GET READ.

YOU NEED TO PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE WANTING AND THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR.

I WOULD I WOULD HATE FOR A BUNCH OF BIKES TO BE PURCHASED USING THIS REBATE PROGRAM THAT JUST COLLECT COBWEBS IN A GARAGE OR A CLOSET SOMEWHERE.

SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU'RE AS YOU'RE WORKING THROUGH THE STRATEGY ON HOW TO DO THE OUTREACH AND WHO TO TARGET AND HOW TO CREATE THE MOST POSITIVE CHANGE OUTCOMES FOR THE GOALS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

THANKS. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER ASLAN COUNCIL MEMBER SALAS.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CITY MANAGER JUST LOOKING INTO THE STAFF REPORT, WHICH TYPICALLY HAS THE THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OR BUDGETARY BUDGETARY IMPACT.

SO. SHOULD.

THE PROPOSED PROGRAM SPEAKS OF 50,000 FOR SOLAR REBATE AND 25,000 FOR E-BIKE.

HOPEFULLY SLASH BACK IN GENERAL REBATE.

SO IS THIS BUDGETED IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR? AND IS THERE A ROOM FOR? WILL IT BE OR WILL IT BE PROPOSED FOR A HIGHER AMOUNT IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR BUDGET? I JUST WANT TO HAVE LIKE AN OVERVIEW OF, YOU KNOW, HAVING THIS PROGRAM SUSTAINED. IF WE STARTED.

THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. I WILL DEFER TO NICOLE AND OR OTHERS FROM FINANCE ON THIS.

I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A YEARLY PROJECT, BUT ONE THAT MAY, IF SUCCESSFUL, WARRANT CONSIDERATION FOR AN ONGOING PROGRAM.

BUT I BELIEVE THE REBATES HERE BEING TALKED ABOUT THIS IS FOR THE UPCOMING BUDGET YEAR.

NICOLE, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.

AND AND VERY SIMILAR TO ALL THE OTHER PROGRAMS FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT ARE FAMILIAR WITH MANY OF OUR PROGRAMS. WE DO LIKE TO PILOT PROGRAMS TO ASSESS IMPACT.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE WOULD DO GOING INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

THANK YOU. DOES THAT ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION, COUNCIL MEMBER? YES. MEANING? I JUST WANT. SO WE DON'T HAVE IT BUDGETED FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, WHICH WILL BE OVER IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS ANYWAY.

I. THANK YOU.

MAY I RESPOND, MAYOR? YES, PLEASE. I SEE NICOLE NODDING HER HEAD.

YES. SO THAT'S AN AFFIRMATION.

I WILL NOTE, AS THE MAYOR POINTED OUT TO EARLIER IN THE DISCUSSION, WE CERTAINLY HAD HAVE HAD REBATE PROGRAMS FOR THE ELECTRIC CAR PURCHASE, AND THAT HAS BEEN QUITE SUCCESSFUL.

THAT THAT IS NOT AN ONGOING PROGRAM, BUT RATHER ONE THAT THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED ON A YEAR TO YEAR BASIS, A BIT LIKE A PILOT PROJECT, AS NICOLE MENTIONED.

BUT I THINK IT'S A SIMILAR COMMENT.

WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION EACH YEAR AND SEE IF THE PROGRAM CAN CONTINUE ON.

THANK YOU. Q VICE MAYOR? THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO OFFER UP WITH THE E-BIKE CONVERSATION.

IF IT WEREN'T AN E-BIKE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD WOULD BE RIDING MY BIKE, A REGULAR BIKE, AS MUCH AS I DO.

MY E-BIKE AND E-BIKE PROVIDES ME A WAY TO GET UP THREE HUGE HILLS TO MY HOUSE AFTER A LONG DAY OF WORK.

I CAN HAVE A LOT OF MY BOOKWORK AND NOW I HAVE MY STORE WORK AND NOW MY COUNCIL WORK IN THE SADDLE BAGS ON THE SIDE.

AND I KNOW THAT COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI CAN RIDE EVERYWHERE, BUT NOT ALL OF US CAN.

SO I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION THAT I THINK THE E-BIKE TRULY HAS GOTTEN ME OUT OF MY CAR QUITE A BIT, AND I DO USE IT AS A COMMUTER.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR, FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

ALL RIGHT. I'M NOT SEEING FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

WAS THERE ADDITIONAL DIRECTION OR ANYTHING YOU NEED FROM COUNCIL MOVING FORWARD ON THIS?

[01:10:01]

NO PROBLEM. I APPRECIATE ALL THE FEEDBACK AND IT IS DEFINITELY IN ACCORDANCE AND IN LINE WITH OUR PHILOSOPHY.

SO I LOOK FORWARD TO BRINGING AN EXCITING AND ACCESSIBLE PROGRAM FRAMEWORK BEFORE YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE CALL.

AND ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO ASK TO TO LOOK INTO IS HOW MANY LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS ARE ACTUALLY PUTTING SOLAR ON THEIR HOMES. SO I JUST KIND OF WHAT ARE THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE INCOME BRACKETS, ET CETERA, THAT ARE ABLE TO DO IT? AND WE CAN BETTER ANALYZE KIND OF THE PRICE POINT THAT MIGHT INCENTIVIZE SOMEBODY WHO'S 80% AMI, WHICH IS WHAT, ABOUT 43,000 A YEAR FOR A HOUSEHOLD.

WHAT WOULD IT REALLY TAKE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO PUT SOLAR ON THEIR HOME? AND ANYWAYS, JUST, JUST WANT TO THROW THAT OUT THERE.

IF WE'RE TRYING TO TARGET LOW INCOME CUSTOMERS, THEN WE ARE WANTING TO MAKE SURE IT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL ACTUALLY INCENTIVIZE THEM.

BECAUSE EVEN IF WE DO A TWO TIER, WELL, MAYBE IT ALL GOES INTO THE NOT LOW INCOME CUSTOMERS.

SO ANYWAYS, I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THAT AND WHAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS ARE ASSOCIATED.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN BETTER TARGET INDIVIDUALS TO INCENTIVIZE.

THANK YOU MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT MOVING RIGHT ALONG WE ARE TO GENERAL PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.

MS. SALTZBURG, ANY DO YOU HAVE? NO. NOTHING AT THIS TIME.

SO WE WILL MOVE INTO AGENDA ITEM 14 INFORMATIONAL ITEMS TO FROM MAYOR COUNCIL AND STAFF AND FUTURE AGENDA ITEM REQUESTS.

LET ME DO I'M GOING TO GO IN ROLL CALL ORDER.

HOW ABOUT THAT THIS TIME AROUND? WHICH THROWS YOU ON THE SPOT? VICE MAYOR AND HERE I GO.

LET'S SEE.

I WAS AT THE VIOLET AWARDS AND IT WAS A GREAT TIME.

I SAW A FEW OF YOU THERE AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE WINNERS MONDAY.

I DID PARTICIPATE SPEAKING OF BIKES IN THE KICKOFF TO THE FLAGSTAFF BIKE MONTH AND THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN AND GOT TO SEE A FEW COMMUNITY MEMBERS OUT THERE.

AND AS A REMINDER, THIS FRIDAY IS FIRST FRIDAY, ART WALK DOWNTOWN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER ASLAN? NOTHING TONIGHT. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER HOUSE.

IF THERE WAS THE ROLL CALL LIST, YOU'D BE NEXT.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TODAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY? I SEE ON THE TABLE OVER HERE SOME SUNFLOWERS.

AND THAT MAKES ME THINK OF SOLIDARITY OR SOLIDARITY WITH THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE.

AND THAT IS DEFINITELY IN MY HEART RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY.

COUNCIL MEMBER SALAS? LAST FRIDAY, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE GRAND OPENING AND RIBBON CUTTING OF THE EVERGREEN ACADEMY PRESCHOOL.

THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP OF QUALITY CONNECTIONS IN WHICH I SERVE ON THE BOARD EXECUTIVE BOARD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE YMCA, WHICH IS THE LOCATION OF THE PRESCHOOL AND WITH THE GRANT FROM UNITED WAY AND WITH WITH GUIDANCE FROM ELEVATE PRE-K.

SO THIS IS THIS HAS EVOLVED FROM THE PREVIOUS PROGRAM OF QUALITY CONNECTIONS CALLED CHOOSY KIDS THAT OFFERED FREE CHILDCARE TO QUALITY CONNECTIONS EMPLOYEES.

SO THIS ONE, THIS TIME IT HAS EXPANDED TO, TO BE OFFERED TO THE COMMUNITY.

SO IT PROVIDES A CRITICAL NEED FOR HIGH QUALITY CHILDCARE WHILE SERVING AS A JOB TRAINING CENTER FOR QUALIFIED WORKERS WITH DISABILITIES.

IT'S ALSO PART OF A PROGRAM FOR QUALITY CONNECTIONS AND WITH AFFORDABLE RATES TO MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

SO THEY HAVE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE AN INFANT INFANT TO LESS THAN A YEAR AND THEN A YEAR TO TWO AND A HALF YEARS OLD AGE GROUP AND THEN TWO AND A HALF TO FIVE YEARS OLD AGE GROUPS.

SO AND EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY IS INVITED TO CHECK IT OUT AND SIGN UP.

I THINK THERE IS ROOM FOR 35 KIDDOS TO BE IN THE CHILD CARE FACILITY.

OF COURSE IT'S AND IT'S IN THE Y, TOO, SO GREAT FACILITY.

[01:15:01]

COUNCIL MEMBER SHIMONI? THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

GOOD. GOOD MEETING THIS EVENING.

TODAY, LAST WEEK, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING A PANELIST ON THE TOWN HALL DISCUSSION ON MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE AND HOMELESSNESS.

WE HAD A GOOD DISCUSSION.

I WASN'T ABLE TO STICK AROUND THE WHOLE TIME, BUT IT WAS GREAT TO BE PART OF IT AND REPRESENT AND TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AT THE CITY AND AMONG OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

AND THAT LEADS INTO THE HOUSEWARMING EVENT THAT MANY OF US WERE AT FOR THE CROWN BEING PUT ON BY FLAGSTAFF SHELTER SERVICES.
