LET'S START DOWN HERE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER HOUSE.

I HAVE NOTHING FOR YOU THIS WEEK.

THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER SWEET. LAST WEEK I ATTENDED THE WATER COMMISSION MEETING.

THE TOPIC WAS THE WATER STUDY AND THANKFULLY THE CONVERSATION ALIGNED WITH OURS ON THE DAIS AND IT WAS A GOOD, ROBUST BACK AND FORTH. LAST THURSDAY I ATTENDED THE METRO PLAN ADVANCE MEETING.

WE DID A LOT OF WORK VISIONING FOR OUR VISION ZERO STRATEGY AND HOW TO STRATEGICALLY ALIGN REGIONAL PROJECTS WITH GRANTS.

IT WAS A VERY FASCINATING THREE HOURS AND I LOVED IT.

AND THEN THIS THURSDAY I WILL BE ATTENDING THE NACOG REGIONAL COUNCIL MEETING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY.

WELL THANK YOU MAYOR.

I ALSO ATTENDED THE METRO PLAN ADVANCE, WHICH IS BASICALLY AN ANNUAL RETREAT THAT WE DO TO KIND OF ENVISION THINGS.

AND I'LL NOTE THAT OUR VICE CHAIR, MIRANDA SWEET, CHAIRED THE MEETING.

I ALSO WENT TO THE SENATOR KELLY HEARING, WHICH FROM OUR INTEREST AREA FOCUSED A LOT ON THE RIO DE FLAG AND GETTING THAT PROJECT, THAT FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT DONE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.

MADAM MAYOR, I HAVE THREE COUNCIL MEETINGS LIAISON MEETINGS LATER THIS WEEK, BUT NOTHING TO REPORT TODAY.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS.

THANK YOU. MAYOR.

I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK.

MAYBE THE WEEK BEFORE.

NO, THIS WEEK MAYBE.

I ATTENDED THE ATHENA AWARDS.

AND CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO THOSE WINNERS.

OR THAT WINNER AND THE YOUNG PROFESSIONAL.

I ALSO ATTENDED THE TOWN HALL WITH SENATOR KELLY, AS WELL AS A MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVE COOK. AND THIS SATURDAY, I'LL BE ATTENDING THE BLACK STUDENT UNION'S GALA AT NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY.

AND SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER MATTHEWS.

I HAVE NOTHING AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE DOWN TO APPOINTMENTS.

SO SIX A, CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS AUDIT COMMITTEE.

[A. Consideration of Appointments: Audit Committee STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: Make two appointments to indefinite terms on the Audit Committee.]

I'M WAITING FOR THIS TO OPEN.

OKAY, SO I SEE THAT THE FIRST COUNCIL MEMBER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT IS COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBER HOUSE. SO WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR YOU TO NOMINATE YOUR PERSON.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

AND CAN I ASK A QUESTION? I DID NOT SEE A TERM LIMITATION IN ANY OF THE DOCUMENTATION THAT I RECEIVED.

IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH. THESE TERMS ARE PERPETUAL AS I UNDERSTAND THEM.

OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT SINCE I COULDN'T FIND ONE.

AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE JOHN CURTIS.

I THINK I'M PRONOUNCING THAT CORRECTLY, FOR A SEAT ON THE CORPORATE ON THE AUDIT COMMITTEE.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE.

[00:10:01]

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER HOUSE.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE JENNIFER STEPHENSON TO A APPOINTMENT TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE.

TO HAVE A SECOND.

SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. MOVING DOWN TO LIQUOR LICENSE.

PUBLIC HEARINGS.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE TWO.

I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND WE CAN CONSIDER BOTH OF THESE UNDER ONE PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH IS WHAT I'M PLANNING TO DO UNLESS A COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

TAKE IT AWAY, CHIEF.

GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, BEFORE YOU TONIGHT ARE TWO LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATIONS.

THE FIRST ONE IS FOR A SERIES SEVEN BEER AND WINE.

[A. Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application: Amy S. Nations, "Whispering Winds Motor Hotel," 922 E. Route 66, Series 07 (Beer and Wine Bar), Location/Owner Transfer. STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for approval; Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for denial based on the testimony received at the public hearing and/or other factors.]

LIQUOR LICENSE APPLIED FOR.

AND THIS IS FOR THE WHISPERING WINDS MOTEL ON EAST 66.

NO DEROGATORY RECORDS WERE FOUND ON THE APPLICANTS.

THEY HAVE TAKEN THE MANDATORY LIQUOR LICENSE, AND THE BUSINESS IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN 300FT OF ANY SCHOOL OR CHURCH.

AND A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE BUSINESS WAS INVITED TO BE HERE TODAY.

THE SECOND LIQUOR LICENSE IS FOR FAMILY DOLLAR, LOCATED AT 5060 NORTH HIGHWAY 89, FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA.

[B. Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application: Rafael Galvan, Jr., "Family Dollar #28851," 5060 US-89, Series 10 (beer and wine store), New License. STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for approval Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for denial based on the testimony received at the public hearing and/or other factors.]

NO DEROGATORY RECORDS WERE FOUND ON THE APPLICANTS OR THE LOCATIONS.

IT'S NOT WITHIN 300FT OF A SCHOOL OR CHURCH, AND THEY ALSO INDICATED THEY WOULD HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE PRESENT HERE TODAY FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I DO. IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT HERE FOR THE FAMILY DOLLAR STORE? VICE MAYOR? YES.

WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE ONLINE.

I BELIEVE BACK IN 2020 PREVIOUS COUNCIL VOTED TO DENY A LIQUOR LICENSE FOR THIS LOCATION.

I REALIZE THERE'S A NEW OWNER HERE.

I DO WONDER WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE LICENSE.

CAN THE APPLICANT TELL ME ARE THEY GOING TO BE SELLING THE SMALL 99 CENT BOTTLES OF LIQUOR AT THIS STORE? JONATHAN, YOU MAY GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE YOURSELF.

JONATHAN, ARE YOU ABLE TO HEAR US? JONATHAN. VICE MAYOR, IF YOU'LL GIVE US JUST A MOMENT, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET HIM RECONNECTED APPROPRIATELY.

HELLO, THIS IS JONATHAN CRUMLEY.

CAN THE COUNCIL HEAR ME? YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU NOW.

THANK YOU. JONATHAN, WERE YOU ABLE TO HEAR THE QUESTION FROM THE VICE MAYOR? OKAY, YEAH, I JUST GOT A NOTE.

Y'ALL CAN HEAR ME. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

I DID HAVE THE LIVE FEED GOING ON THE OTHER SCREEN, SO I THINK I UNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL SELL SINGLES AT THIS LOCATION.

THE ANSWER IS WE WILL HAPPILY STIPULATE TO NOT SELLING SINGLES IF THAT IS THE COUNCIL'S PLEASURE.

WE'VE DONE THAT IN MULTIPLE STORES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON THE BEHALF OF FAMILY DOLLAR.

THANK YOU FOR THAT, JONATHAN.

THAT ACTUALLY IS A DEAL BREAKER FOR ME WHEN I VOTED AGAINST THIS APPLICATION IN 2020, THE REASON WAS PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THIS.

AND CITY CLERK, CAN YOU REMIND ME, WAS THAT A UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION FOR DENIAL OR WHAT WAS THE VOTE ON THAT? VICE MAYOR.

IT WAS A 7-0 UNANIMOUS VOTE.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YEAH, I WAS PREPARED TO RECOMMEND DENIAL FOR THIS.

BUT, JONATHAN, IF YOU'RE ABLE TO PUT IN WRITING OR STIPULATE HERE WITH US THAT YOU WON'T BE SELLING THOSE SINGLE BOTTLE LIQUOR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THEM, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

AND I WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

[00:15:03]

YEAH, WE CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THAT.

AND HAPPY TO SEND SOMETHING IN WRITING TO SUPPLEMENT THE APPLICATION.

I KNOW I DID PUT IN THE CHAT STREAM FOR THE VIRTUAL PRESENTATION, WE'RE WILLING TO DO THAT.

HOWEVER, YOU WOULD PREFER THAT TO BE DOCUMENTED.

WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT. AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS, IT'S NOTED IN THE RESOLUTION APPROVING OR RECOMMENDING THE LICENSE, AND WE ABIDE BY THOSE AS WELL.

OKAY. YEAH.

THANK YOU. THOSE WERE MY ONLY QUESTIONS.

SO, CITY CLERK, CAN WE STILL DO ONE MOTION WHEN THERE'S AN AMENDMENT TO ONE? MAYOR, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO TWO SEPARATE MOTIONS, ONE ON EACH APPLICATION, SO THAT YOU CAN ADD THAT STIPULATION TO THE SECOND.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE NO PUBLIC COMMENT.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. ALL RIGHT.

COUNCIL, IF DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OR FURTHER DISCUSSION.

MAYOR, I WILL MOVE TO FORWARD THE APPLICATION TO THE STATE WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL FOR WHISPERING WINDS MOTOR HOTEL.

THANK YOU AND A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE AYE AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT.

MADAM MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO TAKE A STAB AT THIS.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL TO THE STATE FOR THE FAMILY DOLLAR NUMBER 28 851 AT THE ADDRESS OF 5060 US 89, SERIES TEN, WITH THE AMENDMENT OR STIPULATION THAT SINGLE BOTTLE LIQUORS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED AT THIS LOCATION.

THAT WOULD BE THE MINI BOTTLES, RIGHT? CORRECT. OKAY.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

MOVING DOWN TO CONSENT AGENDA.

[8. CONSENT AGENDA All matters under Consent Agenda are considered by the City Council to be routine. Unless a member of City Council expresses a desire at the meeting to remove an item from the Consent Agenda for discussion, the Consent Agenda will be enacted by one motion approving the recommendations listed on the agenda.

THANK YOU CHIEF.

SO ALL MATTERS UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TO BE ROUTINE.

AND UNLESS A MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL EXPRESSES A DESIRE TO REMOVE AN ITEM AND DISCUSS IT SEPARATELY, WE WILL TAKE ONE MOTION FOR THE ENTIRE AGENDA, WHICH TODAY IS ONLY ONE ITEM.

SO, A, CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF CONTRACT.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT? MAYOR, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

THANK YOU. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. MOVING RIGHT ALONG DOWN TO ROUTINE ITEMS. NINE A, CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF CONTRACT.

[A. Consideration and Approval of Contract: Consideration and Approval of the Third Amendment for GMP 4, for Construction and Repair Services for the Inner Basin Waterline Restoration Project STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Third Amendment for GMP 4, for Construction and Repair Services with Hunter Contracting Co. for a Guaranteed Maximum Price of $9,044,907.00 and a contract duration of 400-calendar days; and Authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.]

THIS IS THE THIRD AMENDMENT FOR GMP4 ON THE INTER-BASIN WATER RESTORATION PROJECT.

WELCOME AND.

HELLO. THANK YOU.

MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL DAVID PETERSON, PROJECT MANAGER AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

TONIGHT, I'M JOINED WITH A LARGE PART OF OUR TEAM ON THIS PROJECT.

EXCITING TO HAVE THEM ABOARD HERE, THOUGH THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT WILL BE THE GMP 4.

BUT I JUST ALSO WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SHARE THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT WE GET TO WORK WITH IN THIS PROJECT, AND IT'S MUCH MORE THAN THE COUPLE OF US THAT COME UP HERE TO ASK FOR APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION TO DO WHAT WE DO.

SO I'D JUST LIKE TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO INTRODUCE THE DIFFERENT PARTNERS THAT HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS PROJECT.

THEY'VE GRACIOUSLY, GRATEFULLY CAME UP FROM THE VALLEY, SOME OF THEM, AND HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO COME UP HERE AND INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH THE PROJECT.

AGAIN, I'D LIKE TO SHARE THIS OTHER PRESENTATION THAT WE DO, THE FOREST SERVICE HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL WITH GETTING OUR PERMITTING IN PLACE TO DO WHAT WE DO.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND FORESTRY MANAGEMENT IS FUNDING THE PROJECT ON A REIMBURSEMENT SCHEDULE THERE.

AND THEN HUNTER CONTRACTING IS THE CONTRACTOR THAT WE'RE UTILIZING.

JACOBS ENGINEERING IS THE ENGINEERING DESIGN FIRM.

AND THEN WE HAVE PARTNERSHIP WITH COCONINO COUNTY AS WELL AS ARIZONA GAME AND FISH.

AND THEN I ALSO WANTED TO HAVE STACY COME UP AND TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE CITY STAFF.

BUT IF THERE'S ANY CITY STAFF IN HERE THAT HAS TOUCHED THIS PROJECT, I'D JUST LIKE TO SEE A SHOW OF HANDS.

[00:20:01]

WE'VE HAD CMO, WE'VE HAD EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, WE HAVE CONTRACTS, PROCUREMENT, WE HAVE LEGAL, WE HAVE WATER SERVICES, WE HAVE ENGINEERING.

BUT YEAH, I'LL HAVE STACY COME UP HERE AND INTRODUCE THE CITY STAFF THAT WE REALLY WANT TO TOUCH ON.

THANK YOU. I THINK YOU JUST DID.

AND THANKS, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

YOU KNOW HOW EXCITING A PROJECT THIS IS.

$16 MILLION CAP FROM DFFM TO FUND THIS AT 100%.

YOU'VE BEEN UP THERE.

IT'S AMAZING WORK THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING.

WE WILL DO ANOTHER TOUR THIS SPRING.

WHEN WE START. WE'RE IN WINTER SHUTDOWN AND DAVID WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

BUT I DID WANT TO REALLY RECOGNIZE OUR CONTRACTORS, BUT ALSO OUR CITY STAFF, OUR ACCOUNTANTS, BRANDY AND GLORICE.

LEGAL, CHRISTINA KEENERS WORKED ON THE CONTRACT AND PROCUREMENT THAT IS IN THE BACK THERE, PATRICK AND EMILY.

AND THEN BRIAN HAS BEEN PART OF THE TEAM, DANIEL, ALL OF US HAVE BEEN UP ON THAT MOUNTAIN MANY, MANY TIMES.

BUT THIS IS REALLY A WHOLE TEAM, WHOLE COMMUNITY PROJECT.

SO THANK YOU.

AND I'LL KICK IT BACK TO DAVID AND GRAB ME IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.

MATT, DO YOU WANT TO START US OFF? ALL RIGHT, MATT, WITH THE US FOREST SERVICE.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS MATT MCGRATH. I'M THE DISTRICT RANGER FOR THE FLAGSTAFF RANGER DISTRICT.

I HAVE, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, I HAVE THE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH A LOT OF YOUR CITY EMPLOYEES ON A LOT OF PROJECTS, A BROAD VARIETY, AND A LOT OF THEM ARE PRETTY COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT. AND THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OF THOSE OTHER ONES, PERHAPS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT THAN MOST OF THE PROJECTS WE'VE WORKED ON.

AND I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW WONDERFUL IT IS.

AS USUAL, WORKING WITH CITY STAFF.

I WORK WITH STACY AND DANIEL A LOT, AND THEN DAVID'S LEADERSHIP ON THIS PROJECT, I THINK, HAS BEEN INVALUABLE.

THIS IS INCREDIBLY COMPLEX.

IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER COMPLEX CITY PROJECTS HE HAS GOING ON, THIS PROJECT IS AN INCREDIBLY COMPLEX, AND THROUGH HIS LEADERSHIP, IT'S MADE IT EASY FOR US TO BE A PARTNER WITH THE CITY. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK HIM AND ALL THE CITY EMPLOYEES VERY MUCH FOR THEIR WORK TOGETHER ON THIS.

THANK YOU. HUNTER TEAM.

DO YOU WANT TO COME UP? THANK YOU.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS CHUCK ENGLISH, I'M PRESIDENT OF HUNTER CONTRACTING.

I GOT MY TEAM HERE. BOB CARLSON, VICE PRESIDENT.

OUR PROJECT MANAGER, TAYLOR BATES, THE GUY IN THE FIELD MAKING IT ALL HAPPEN, KELLEN SNYDER AND OUR NEW PROJECT ENGINEER, TY MCDERMOTT.

LUMBERJACK, RIGHT. LUMBERJACK? YES. PULLED HIM OUT OF SCHOOL TO BE HERE.

ANYWAY, THIS PROJECT IS A LITTLE BIT OF DEJA VU.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE WERE JUST HERE IN 2011, 2012 WHEN WITH THE SCHULTZ FIRE.

AND WE'RE BACK AGAIN WHEN STACY GAVE US THE CALL AND SAID THERE WERE SOME PROBLEMS UP ON THE MOUNTAIN, WE HAD A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT HAD TAKEN PLACE AND A GOOD IDEA OF HOW TO REPLACE ALL THE DRAINAGE STRUCTURES AS WELL.

SO WE'RE THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE.

LOOK FORWARD TO A SUMMER.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN WRAP IT ALL UP AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. THEN, COLBY, YOU WANT TO COME UP AND TALK BRIEFLY. WE'RE WORKING WITH ARIZONA GAME AND FISH.

OBVIOUSLY, WILDLIFE IS A BIG THING THAT HAPPENS AFTER A WILDFIRE AS WELL.

SO I'M GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OR COLBY IS GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THEY'RE PARTNERING WITH US AS WELL.

GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, MY NAME IS COLBY WALTON.

I'M THE WILDLIFE MANAGER FOR UNIT SEVEN THAT ENCOMPASSES THE PEAKS.

I'M KIND OF STEPPING IN BECAUSE A FEW OF MY WILDLIFE WATERS WERE DAMAGED FROM THE PIPELINE FIRE AND THEN THE FLOODS THAT CAME AFTER.

THESE THESE WILDLIFE WATERS WERE ESTABLISHED BACK IN, LIKE, 1993, WELL BEFORE I WAS IN THE DISTRICT.

AND THERE WE'VE HAD A AN AGREEMENT.

THEY I DON'T KNOW IF WE CALL IT THE SAME AGREEMENT.

IT WAS CALLED A LETTER OF AGREEMENT/NEPA BACK IN 1993 WITH THE CITY, THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF AND COCONINO NATIONAL FOREST.

WE HAD SIX APPROVED WILDLIFE WATERS ALONG THE WATER LINE.

AND WE WE ESTABLISHED TWO OF THEM.

THERE'S ONE THAT'S KIND OF UNKNOWN AT THIS POINT.

BUT MY ROLE IN THIS IS TO KIND OF PICK NEW WATERS, NEW WILDLIFE, WATER LOCATIONS, AND THEN TRY TO SEEK FUNDING AND WORK WITH THE FOREST TO GET THE CLEARANCES AND WHATNOT.

BECAUSE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, UP ON THE PEAKS, THERE IS NOT A LOT OF WATER FOR WILDLIFE ONCE THE SNOW STARTS TO MELT, WATER IS A LIMITING FACTOR UP THERE FOR SURE.

SO THAT'S WHAT MY ROLE IN THIS IS, JUST SOME WILDLIFE ADVICE ON WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO PUT WATERS AND REPLACE THE ONES THAT ARE THERE.

I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

YES, MA'AM. SO YOU ARE YOU'RE DIVERTING WATER OUT OF THE PIPELINE INTO SOME DESIGNATED WILDLIFE

[00:25:02]

WATERING AREAS? YES, MA'AM. SO RIGHT NOW, THE WAY IT WAS SET UP IN 1993 WAS IT WAS A PIPE PUT ON THE IB WATER LINE THAT WAS CALLED HALF BAY.

IT WAS AT HALF PIPE.

SO WHEN WATER FLOW GOT TO A CERTAIN LEVEL IT WOULD SPILL OVER INTO THE WILDLIFE WATER.

WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY WANTING TO DO THAT AGAIN.

WE'RE WANTING TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE THE SCOPE OF THE WORK, LIKE MY DREAM PROJECT WOULD BE, WE HAVE STORAGE UP THERE ABOUT 2500 GALLONS. AND THEN A DRINKER THAT COMES OFF OF THAT.

AND THEN WE LIKE TO HAVE A VALVE PLACED ON THE WATER LINE THAT THE GAME AND FISH, THE CITY, THE FOREST CAN CONTROL, SO THAT WE CAN DIVERT WATER AND STORE WATER WHEN WE GET INTO THOSE DRY MONTHS, IF WE GO INTO ANOTHER DROUGHT CYCLE.

LET US KNOW IF WE CAN BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE.

NOT LIKE WITH STACEY'S TIME OR ANYTHING.

I'M NOT PROMISING THAT, BUT BUT A LETTER OF SUPPORT OR WHATEVER.

SOUNDS LIKE AN EXCELLENT PROJECT.

AWESOME. THANK YOU. AND MAYOR I'LL ADD TO THAT TOO, THAT STACEY IS ALREADY WORKING ON AN IGA TO MAKE THAT WORK.

SO WE'LL BE BACK BEFORE COUNCIL TO DISCUSS AN IGA WITH WITH THIS BODY.

THANK YOU EVERYONE.

IT'S EXCITING PROJECT AND WE'RE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS UP THERE.

EVERY TIME WE DO A PRESENTATION, I TRY TO HAVE SOMETHING EXCITING TO SHARE.

NO DIFFERENT IN THIS PRESENTATION.

SO THIS IS THE POSTER THAT WE HAD IN THE FIELD WHEN WE WERE UP THERE IN OCTOBER, FOR THOSE THAT WERE ABLE TO GO, I BROKE IT UP ONTO TWO SLIDES IN THE POWERPOINT, SO IT'S A LITTLE EASIER TO SEE.

I WANT NOT TO CALL THEM BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES, MAYBE BEFORE AND DURING PICTURES, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT QUITE DONE AT SOME OF THESE SITES.

BUT IN GENERAL, THE LEFT SIDE OF THESE PICTURES ARE THE BEFORE.

SO SUMMER OF 2022, RIGHT AFTER THE FIRE AND THEN THE FALL OF 23.

SO THIS IS SITE A, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST SITE THAT WE WORK ON.

IT'S KIND OF THE MOUTH TO INNER BASIN.

THIS SITE DRAINS PROBABLY ABOUT 85% OF THE INNER BASIN CALDERA.

SO THERE'S ONLY ABOUT TWO WATERSHEDS THAT DON'T DRAIN HERE.

SO WE WERE TRYING TO ARMOR THIS SITE IN A WAY THAT CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION.

UNEXPECTED WEATHER CERTAINLY EVENTS LARGE SNOWPACKS THAT ARE GOING TO GO ACROSS THIS SITE.

WE NEEDED TO HAVE A CONCRETE CAP THAT'S REALLY ROBUST, WITH SOME STRONG TURNDOWN WALLS AND SOME CULVERTS TO PASS THOSE FLOWS.

SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT HERE THIS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A ROAD, BUT IT IS NOT.

IT'S JUST AN ARMORED CAP ON TOP THAT HAS OUR WATER LINE UNDERNEATH IT AS WELL.

AND THEN HERE ON THE SIDE, ON THE RIGHT SIDE WE HAVE SITE I WHICH THIS IS THE, THE FAMOUS PICTURE OF ME STANDING HERE ON WATER LINE ROAD WITH ITS 30 FOOT RAVINE.

BEFORE WE STARTED ANY WORK ON THIS PROJECT.

ONE OF THE THREE SPOTS THAT THE WATER LINE WAS BROKEN.

SO THOSE ARE THOSE TWO PICTURES HERE ON THE LEFT SIDE.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT. WE NOW HAVE A NAVIGABLE ROAD THAT WE CAN DRIVE EQUIPMENT ACROSS OUR ARMORING GABION BASKETS.

AND THEN THIS IS THE UPSTREAM SHOT OF HOW WE HAVE SOME OF THIS ROCKY INFRASTRUCTURE THERE TO HELP CONVEY THE WATER AND THE DEBRIS.

SO UNLIKE SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT THE COUNTY IS WORKING ON, THAT TRAPS A LOT OF THIS.

WE REALLY WANT THAT TO PASS OVER OR GET CAUGHT UP UPSTREAM.

AND WE HAVE THE EXPECTATION THAT WE'LL HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, USE HEAVY EQUIPMENT AT TIMES TO CLEAR THE ROAD OFF.

SO WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TRAP THAT.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO LET IT PASS OVER.

SITE NINE. YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE LEFT SIDE AS WELL, WE HAVE PLACES AND THERE WERE MULTIPLE PLACES ALONG THIS PROJECT THAT HAVE THE PIPE EXPOSED, WHERE THE BEDDING AND THE SHADING OR THE MATERIAL THAT'S ABOVE AND BELOW THE PIPE HAS WASHED AWAY WHERE THE PIPE IS COMPROMISED, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, WHERE IF IT WAS TO CONTINUE TO ERODE, WE COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER BREAK IN THE PIPE.

SO THERE'S LOTS OF PLACES LIKE THIS WHERE WE NEED TO SECURE THE PIPE.

A LOT OF PLACES WHERE THERE MIGHT BE ONLY A FOOT OR TWO OF COVER ON THE OUTSIDE OF THAT PIPE TO BEFORE IT BECOMES EXPOSED.

HERE IN THE MIDDLE PICTURE, ABOUT 60% OF THE ROAD IS GONE, SO WE CAN'T GET ANY EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES IN THERE BEFORE WE STARTED WORK.

OBVIOUSLY NOW WE CAN PASS THAT JUST FINE.

LIKE THOSE THAT WERE WITH US LAST OCTOBER.

WE DROVE OVER THIS SECTION AGAIN.

WE HAVE THE GABION BASKETS, AND WE'VE NOT QUITE COMPLETED ON THIS SITE, BUT WE'VE MADE GREAT PROGRESS.

I WILL MENTION BACK ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE ON I DUE TO WEATHER THIS LAST SUMMER, THERE WERE FACETS OF THIS SITE THAT WE ACTUALLY HAD TO REBUILD THREE TIMES.

SO THERE ARE FACETS UP HERE THAT WE CANNOT CONTROL.

SO I APPRECIATE CHUCK'S ENTHUSIASM TO FINISH THIS YEAR, WHICH WOULD BE FANTASTIC.

I FULLY SUPPORT THAT.

BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR HANDS THAT WE DON'T CONTROL, SO IT MIGHT POTENTIALLY GO INTO INTO NEXT SEASON AS WELL.

WE'LL SEE. THE LAST SITE HERE IS ON SCHULTZ PASS ROAD.

THIS IS THE SECOND SITE THAT THE WATERLINE WAS BROKEN.

YOU CAN SEE IN THE LOWER LEFT.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PIPELINE THAT IS IN USE TODAY THAT'S SEALED UP AND REPAIRED.

BUT THIS IS WHAT THE BREAK LOOKED LIKE BEFORE WE REPAIRED IT AGAIN.

AND THEN THESE CONCRETE CAPS ARE ACTUALLY MADE WITH KIND OF INCLINED DECLINED WINGS.

[00:30:05]

SO THE HIGHER FLOWS WILL PASS OVER THE CAP.

AND NOT IT'S NOT A FLAT CONCRETE CAP WHERE THE WATER JUST GOES OFF TO THE SIDES.

IT'S MADE TO CHANNELIZE IT AS IT GOES OVER THE ROAD IN LARGER EVENTS.

AND THEN BACK TO THE GMP FOUR.

SO THE ASK FOR TODAY IS THE GMP FOUR WITH HUNTER CONTRACTING, IT'S FOR A LITTLE OVER $9 MILLION IN A CONTRACT PERIOD OF 400 CALENDAR DAYS. AND AGAIN, THAT 400 CALENDAR DAYS GETS US INTO MAY OF 25 SO THAT WE CAN, IF WE NEED TO HAVE NEXT SEASON OR THE FOLLOWING SUMMER SEASON, WE CAN HAVE A WINTER SHUTDOWN, GET THINGS MOBILIZED AND READY, AND THEN WE'LL PROBABLY COME BACK LATE WINTER OR SPRING TO DO A GMP FIVE WITH COUNCIL AS WELL, WHICH WOULD BE A FAR SMALLER AMOUNT, AND THAT WOULD JUST BASICALLY BE TO CLOSE UP THE PROJECT.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST FOR CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR SERVICES.

ONE THING I WILL ADD THAT'S UNIQUE TO THIS GMP IS IT CONTAINS NO DESIGN WORK.

SO THE PREVIOUS THREE GMPS HAD DESIGNED WITH JACOBS ENGINEERING TO DO THIS.

AND THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF HAVING SUCH A GREAT TEAM, IS THAT THE DESIGN WAS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME THE EMERGENCY REPAIRS WERE HAPPENING.

SO TYPICALLY WE HAVE A DESIGN COMPLETED, THEN WE GO TO BID AND THEN WE GET A CONTRACTOR ON BOARD, BUT THEY'RE WORKING HAND IN HAND THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

AND IT'S RARE THAT WE WOULD START WORK WITHOUT COMPLETED PLANS.

SO HANDS OFF TO THE TEAM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT SO INTRICATELY IN THIS PROJECT.

AND I JUST WANTED TO THROW OUT THE DATES AGAIN ON THE GMPS AND THE INSPECTION SERVICES.

SO THE INSPECTION SERVICES CONTRACT, WE DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY WITH CITY STAFF.

WE HAVE ENGINEERING INSPECTORS THAT WE USE ON CITY PROJECTS.

BUT BECAUSE IT'S A FULL TIME INSPECTION JOB UP THERE, IT TAKES A FULL DAY JUST, YOU KNOW, TO GET UP THERE, GET WORK DONE AND COME BACK THAT WE HAD TO HIRE THAT OUT.

SO ARDURA AND SWI HAVE THAT CONTRACT FOR THIS PROJECT.

AND THEN AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE GMP FIVE WILL BE BACK PROBABLY LATE WINTER OR SPRING, TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT WE'RE CLOSING OUT THE PROJECT.

AND AT THIS TIME WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT THAT'S PROBABLY HALF A MILLION OR LESS.

JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE BUTTONED OUT EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DIALED IN WITH FOREST SERVICE AND GAME AND FISH AND ALL OUR PARTNERS UP THERE.

AND THEN JUST TO PUT A VALUE ON THERE, STACY HAD MENTIONED THE $16.1 MILLION CAP THAT ARIZONA FIRE OR FORESTRY AND FIRE MANAGEMENT HAD HAD GIVEN TO THE CITY THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 15.4 MILLION.

SO AGAIN, THAT THAT CLOSE OUT THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING, AT LEAST RIGHT NOW OF THAT HALF MILLION STILL KEEPS US WITHIN THAT 16.1 MILLION THRESHOLD.

SO THE ASK TODAY IS THE LARGEST GMP BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE THE BULK OF THE CONSTRUCTION.

SO WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING MUCH CONSTRUCTION BEYOND HERE.

AGAIN NOT EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED.

AND ON THAT NOTE, THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION WE HAD A REALLY NEAT EVENT.

METEOROLOGICALLY SPEAKING, NOT CONSTRUCTION SPEAKING.

LAST SEPTEMBER, THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER, WE HAD A CELL THAT KIND OF SET UP SHOP.

THE STAR IS ABOUT THE SITE LOCATION OF SITE A ON THIS MAP.

HUMPHREYS PEAK IS RIGHT ABOUT HERE.

AND THIS CELL KIND OF TRAINED AND PARKED RIGHT ON TOP OF THE PEAKS FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS.

BUT THE BULK OF THE PRECIP FELL IN ABOUT A 45 MINUTE PERIOD, 2 TO 4 INCHES IN THE BASINS ABOVE WHERE WE WERE WORKING.

SO ALL THAT WATER AND MATERIAL HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE.

AND LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, A IS THE MAIN DRAIN COMING OUT OF OUR INNER BASIN.

SO IT ALL CAME DOWNHILL.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE PICTURES HERE.

THE STARS ON THE MAP SHOW WHERE THE PICTURES I'M GOING TO SHARE ARE LOCATED.

THIS IS HUMPHREYS PEAK UP HERE.

SO AGAIN THAT FOR REFERENCE, THAT CELL WAS KIND OF PARKED RIGHT UP IN THIS AREA ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS IMAGE.

AND THEN FOR REFERENCE, SITE A IS RIGHT HERE.

SO AGAIN THAT'S THE HIGHEST SITE THAT WE'RE WORKING AT.

WELL, HOUSE 11 IS ABOUT 200 YARDS ABOVE SITE A, SO THIS IS ONE OF OUR WELLS THAT WE OPERATE UP THERE DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.

ON THE LEFT SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL NAVIGABLE ROAD.

THERE'S A CITY VEHICLE RIGHT HERE.

AND THEN A WEEK LATER THIS IS POST-STORM.

WE HAVE ABOUT THREE FEET OF DEBRIS.

IT LOOKS JUST ROCKY AND DIRT, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE'S A LOT OF WOOD AND DOWNED WOODY DEBRIS IN THERE AS WELL.

AND THEN FOR REFERENCE, THIS ONE ON THE LEFT HERE, YOU CAN SEE THIS MUDDY MARK HERE.

AND I'M GOING TO FLIP IT. ONE MORE PICTURE HERE BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO SEE.

BUT THAT'S THE HIGH WATER MARK OF THE EVENT.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THE WELL HOUSE IS PACKED FULL OF DEBRIS, WOOD CHIPS, WATER.

AND PROBABLY MORE CONCERNING IS THE FACT THAT THIS CONCRETE SLAB IS FLOATING IN THE AIR.

ONE THING TO NOTE HERE IS THAT CONCRETE SLAB IS ACTUALLY HAS THE WELL CASING INSIDE THAT SLAB.

SO IF THAT SLAB SHIFTS, IT CAN ACTUALLY BREAK THE WELL CASING AND MAKE THAT, WELL, UNFUNCTIONAL.

SO WHAT WE HAD TO DO IS GO BACK IN THERE AND SLUMP CONCRETE UNDER THAT BUILDING AND THEN ARMOR IT WITH WHAT'S CALLED THE TURNDOWN WALL TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WASN'T GOING TO COMPROMISE OR WASH OUT AND THAT WE STILL HAVE THE INTEGRITY OF OUR, WELL, HOUSE.

[00:35:02]

BUT JUST FOR REFERENCE, THAT CROSS SECTION OF THAT DRAINAGE IS PROBABLY PROBABLY ABOUT THE LENGTH OF THIS ROOM FROM THE MAYOR TO THE BACK WALL.

AND IMAGINE THAT 4 OR 5FT DEEP.

SO IT WAS A LOT OF WATER COMING THROUGH THIS SITE.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THIS IS ONE OF OUR ARMS THAT GOES UP TO 4 OR 5 BASINS THAT CAPTURES SPRING WATER.

THE PIPE WAS SEVERED DURING THIS EVENT.

IT'S ACTUALLY TO MY BACK TAKING THIS PICTURE.

AND THE PIPE WENT COMPLETELY PERPENDICULAR ACROSS THE CHANNEL, ABOUT A 60 FOOT SECTION OF IT.

I WILL MENTION TO YOU THAT THIS IS THE LOW FLOW OF THAT PIPE, SO THIS IS ABOUT AS DRY AS IT GETS COMING OUT OF THAT PIPE.

BUT COME SPRING MELT OFF IN EARLY SUMMER, THIS PIPE IS REALLY RUSHING WITH WATER.

BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS IN PLACE COME THIS SPRING.

SO WE WEREN'T MISSING OUT ON ALL THIS WATER.

SO THAT WAS A REPAIR WE HAD TO MAKE.

THAT WAS IN ADDITION TO THE PROJECT WORK AND SCOPE THAT WE HAD.

SO THAT IS RECONNECTED.

IT IS CONCRETE ENCASED.

SO JUST IMAGINE A BIG BLANKET OF CONCRETE ALL THE WAY AROUND IT.

SO THAT CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

AND THEN SITE A, YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT THESE ROCKS DON'T BELONG HERE.

WE HAD JUST DONE THIS HEADWALL AROUND THESE CULVERTS AND A LITTLE SLURRY CAP ON TOP HERE.

BUT YOU CAN SEE THE INCISION HERE.

A LOT OF ROCKY, WOODY DEBRIS AND SEDIMENT.

AND THEN ON THIS RIGHT SIDE AGAIN, HERE'S THAT HIGH WATER MARK THAT'S ABOUT FOUR FEET UP THE BUILDING.

SO THANK GOD NO ONE WAS WORKING THAT DAY THIS HAPPENED.

IT WAS OVER A WEEKEND.

I DON'T I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY ACCIDENTS, FATALITIES OR INJURIES THAT HAPPENED FROM THIS EVENT.

THERE ARE ACTUALLY SIGNS OF THIS DEBRIS GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 418, WHICH IS ANOTHER 2 OR 3 MILES BELOW THIS SITE.

SO IT WAS A LARGE EVENT.

WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE WEATHER SERVICE TO REPORT AND SHARE PICTURES AS WELL FOR THEIR REPORTING PURPOSES.

THEY WERE REALLY SURPRISED BY THIS EVENT TOO.

NOT IN THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENED, BUT JUST THE THE GRAVITY AND QUANTITY OF THE OF THE MOISTURE THAT WAS THERE.

AND THEN I HAVE JUST TWO MORE AND THEN I'LL BE DONE.

THIS THE ROAD THAT WE ACCESS UP THERE IS A LOOP.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST THE ROAD COMING UP FROM JUST ABOVE THAT BROKEN PIPE.

THAT IS AGAIN COVERED WITH SEVERAL FEET OF ROCKY SEDIMENT AND WOODY DEBRIS.

AND THEN I DON'T HAVE A BEFORE PICTURE ON THE LEFT SIDE, BUT THAT CHANNEL IS SIGNIFICANTLY WIDER AND DEEPER.

I REMEMBER HIKING BY IT TWO YEARS AGO IN 2022, AND IT LOOKED NOTHING LIKE THAT WHEN WE WERE STANDING BY IT.

AND THEN THIS ONE I FIND REALLY INTERESTING.

WE ON THE LEFT SIDE HERE, THIS IS ONE OF OUR SPRING BOX CATCHMENTS.

SO THERE'S A SURFACE FLOW.

THINK OF A SMALL CREEK THAT COMES INTO THIS SYSTEM, SERIES OF BOXES THAT CAPTURES THAT SPRING WATER AND CONVEYS IT INTO OUR PIPES, BRINGS IT DOWN TO OUR NORTH FILTRATION PLANT TO CLEAN IT AND USE IT IN OUR SYSTEM.

IN AUGUST, WE HAD GONE UP THERE WITH THE LITTLE HALF SHOVELS BECAUSE WE HAD TO HIKE UP TO THIS SITE TO DIG OUT THIS SYSTEM HERE.

AND IT WAS ABOUT A SIX FOOT DROP CLEAN AS CAN BE.

ALL THE WATER WAS BEING CAPTURED AFTER THIS EVENT.

IT TOOK ABOUT SIX FEET OF WOODY DEBRIS, AGAIN, SEDIMENT AND ROCK PLUGGED IT UP COMPLETELY.

AND I THINK THE MOST TELLING PICTURE IS THE ONE HERE ON THE RIGHT THAT SHOWS THAT SURFACE STREAM CLEARLY NOT WANTING TO POUR INTO OUR BOXES AND GO COMPLETELY AROUND MISSING OUT ON ALL THAT SPRING WATER THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR OUR SYSTEMS. SO HUNTER GRACIOUSLY GOT UP TO THIS SITE, IMPROVED IT, AND WE'RE WORKING TO IMPROVE SOME OF THAT WOODY STRUCTURE THAT'S PART OF THOSE BOX SYSTEMS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR BRIAN 50-80 YEARS? YEAH. SO WE'RE IMPROVING THE SYSTEMS, CLEARING THEM OUT AND MAKING SURE THEY'RE WORKING AS EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE.

BUT JUST WANTED TO SHARE HOW DELICATE THE SYSTEMS ARE UP THERE.

AND IT'S NOT JUST WHERE WE'RE WORKING THAT IS IMPACTED.

IT ALL FLOWS DOWNHILL TO OUR SITES, AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THE WEATHER CAN STAY AWAY FROM THE AREAS THAT WE NEED TO, OR AT LEAST BE IN A MANAGEABLE QUANTITY THAT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE MAKING PROGRESS.

SO WITH THAT, I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

OUR TEAM IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OF THEM AS WELL.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND LISTENING HERE.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER HOUSE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

AND I JUST WANTED TO START BY ACKNOWLEDGING HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS TO HEAR NOT JUST THE COLLABORATION THAT'S GONE INTO THIS, BUT THE COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT BEHIND THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING.

AND JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR ALL OF YOU AND ALL OF THE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THIS.

AND IN THAT SPIRIT, I WAS WONDERING IF THE STAFF IN THE BACK WHO WAS PART OF THIS COULD MAYBE STAND.

I COULD SEE SOME HANDS, BUT COULDN'T PUT FACES TO THEM.

THANK YOU. THANKS SO MUCH.

MY QUESTION THEN, IN TERMS OF THIS PROJECT AND THIS THIRD AMENDMENT.

LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT AND SEEING THE SLIDES THAT YOU JUST PRESENTED ON THE UNEXPECTED, I'M WONDERING HOW MUCH THIS WORK IS ANTICIPATED TO BE ABLE

[00:40:08]

TO OBVIOUSLY NOT PREVENT THE UNEXPECTED, BUT MAYBE OFFSET THE IMPACTS OF THOSE SORTS OF EVENTS GOING FORWARD.

COUNCIL MEMBER IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THERE'S THINGS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO INTEGRATE INTO THE SCHULTZ FIRE REPAIR, LIKE TIMBER WALLS, THAT WORKED REALLY WELL UNTIL THE PIPELINE FIRE CAME THROUGH AND BURNED THE TIMBER.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THINGS IN DESIGN THIS TIME AROUND USING PIPE CASINGS.

SO WE KNOW THAT WE CAN'T SIZE OR DESIGN THIS PROJECT FOR FUTURE FIRES OR FUTURE, YOU KNOW, WATERSHED PROBLEMS. BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO THAT MAKE THEM MORE ROBUST FROM LEARNING FROM THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST THAT WORKED WELL FOR THE TIME THEY WERE IN PLACE, BUT NOW WITH VERY LITTLE FOREST CANOPY IN THE AREA WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, SOMEDAY THOSE TIMBERS WILL FAIL CERTAINLY FASTER THAN STEEL CASINGS WILL. I DID ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT, TOO, THAT BERWYN IS HERE WITH JACOBS ENGINEERING AS WELL TO JOINING THE TEAM.

BUT YEAH, I THINK FOR THE UNEXPECTED, THE WEATHER ONE, THERE ARE PARTS OF THE DESIGN.

A GREAT EXAMPLE IS ON SITE I, WE ACTUALLY HAD A COUPLE LARGE CULVERTS THAT WE INSTALLED WHILE WE WERE WORKING HIGHER, SIMPLY FOR THE FACT TO PASS WATER WHILE WE WERE WORKING. BUT IT WAS A SACRIFICIAL LAMB ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE THE CULVERT GOT SMASHED AND REMOVED AFTERWARDS.

I THINK BERWYN HELPED SHARE BETWEEN LAST TIME WE DID THIS AND THIS TIME.

YEAH, NO BETTER THAN THE ENGINEER.

SORRY TO BE LATE, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION WITH RESPECT TO WHEN WE FIRST DID THIS, THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WE HAD, WE DEALT STRICTLY WITH REPAIRING FOR THE WASH AND THE DAMAGES THAT WERE DONE, NOT ANTICIPATING ANOTHER FIRE.

SOME OF THE MATERIALS WE USED WERE THOSE THAT WERE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE SITE.

SO WE USED TIMBERS, AS NOTED, AS LAGGING FOR SOME OF THE WALLS.

WE PUT WE DRILLED PIPES INTO THE GROUND AND THEN PUT TIMBERS BEHIND THOSE PIPES.

WELL, THE NEXT FIRE CAME THROUGH.

SO NOW WE KNOW NOT TO USE THE TIMBERS.

HOWEVER, NOW WE'RE USING OTHER MATERIALS THAT THE CITY HAD ACCESS, LIKE STEEL PIPES.

SO WE'RE STILL USING OTHER MATERIALS AS OPPOSED TO USING SOMETHING NEW, OR WE HAVE TO USE CONCRETE WALLS AS LAGGING, SO WE WON'T BURN.

WE'VE LEARNED FROM THE LAST EXPERIENCE MOST OF OUR IMPROVEMENTS, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES, SUSTAINED MOST OF THE THE DAMAGE.

BUT NOW THAT WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER, ANOTHER OCCURRENCE, WE'VE SIMPLY BOLSTERED SOME OF THOSE MATERIALS WITH A WIDER WIDTH AND, AND THEN TRYING TO JUST SIMPLY MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE CAN ADDRESS FOR THE FUTURE.

THAT'S REALLY ABOUT THAT WAS ABOUT THE ONLY THINGS WE CAN ADDRESS.

THE ONLY THING I MISSED ON THE COLLABORATION AS A TEAM LIKE THIS, YOU WERE DEALING WITH DETAILS THAT THERE'S NO STANDARD IN A BOOK TO SAY THIS IS EXACTLY HOW YOU DO IT.

SO I TOO HAVE TO SAY COME FORWARD AND SAY IT'S THE COLLABORATION WITH HUNTER COMING UP IN THE FIELD TO JUST DESIGN THINGS.

EVEN WHEN WE HAD THIS LAST YEAR, WE HAD MINOR WASHES COME THROUGH, AND WE HAD TO REPAIR THINGS THAT GAVE US MORE INFORMATION AS TO HOW TO BETTER IMPROVE SOME OF THE TO MAKE SOME OF THE MITIGATION MEASURES HOPEFULLY LAST LONGER.

BUT THE TEAM HAS REALLY WORKED TOGETHER.

IT'S NOT JUST BEEN ONE IDEA.

IT'S BEEN A PEER REVIEW.

WE'VE ALL WORKED TOGETHER TO SAY, HEY, HOW CAN WE IMPROVE UPON THIS? IT'S A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY THE DETAILS ARE SOMETHING YOU WOULDN'T SEE IN ANY KIND OF A DESIGN MANUAL OR SOMETHING ELSE.

LAST TIME WE DID A PRESENTATION LIKE THIS, WE WON AN AWARD FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION.

FOR THE GROUNDBREAKING WE'RE ESSENTIALLY DOING.

WE'RE EXCITED TO PUT FORTH ANOTHER AWARD WITH THIS THINKING WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR IN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER MATTHEWS.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE SOME FAMILIAR FACES.

I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES THAT GOT TO GO ON THAT TOUR, AND IT WAS MIND BLOWING.

THE MAGNITUDE OF WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE SEEING THINGS IN REAL SCALE AND UNDERSTANDING THE FORCE AND THE POWER OF THE WATER THAT RUSHED THROUGH, THERE WAS JUST I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.

AND I JUST I'M AMAZED AT THE COLLABORATION AND THE TEAMWORK.

TO PULL THIS OFF WAS JUST IT WAS AMAZING.

AND DRIVING DOWN THAT ROAD THROUGH THAT TUNNEL AND SEEING THE TIMBER WALLS BURNT YOU KNOW, I WAS HANGING OUT THE WINDOWS, IF YOU REMEMBER, LIKE A PUPPY DOG LOOKING AT THE SIGHTS, TAKING PICTURES, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

[00:45:05]

AND I HOPE THAT DOESN'T DISQUALIFY ME TO DO THE SECOND TOUR IN THE SPRING, BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, THE PROGRESS. I MEAN, IT'S JUST THE PICTURES ARE AWESOME, BUT IT DOES NOT EVEN START TO DO THE JUSTICE TO JUST HOW HUGE YOU KNOW, THE FLOODING WAS, THE DESTRUCTION WAS, THE RECONSTRUCTION WAS.

AND WHAT YOU ALL DID TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS.

I JUST WANT TO APPLAUD ALL OF YOU.

ALL OF YOU. IT WAS, I THINK, THE MOST HIGHLIGHT OF MY FIRST YEAR ON COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THAT.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING THIS IN COMPLETION.

AND JUST THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LEADERSHIP AND GREAT WORK.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER SWEET.

THANK YOU. I HAD TO MISS THE TOUR IN THE FALL SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE SPRING.

WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER. I WAS SO BUMMED.

I IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE THE FACE WITH THE NAME AND WHO ALL IS ON THE PROJECT.

AND WE AS A CITY ARE SO INCREDIBLY LUCKY TO HAVE YOU ALL.

AND THAT'S WHERE MY HEART JUST GOES TO ALL OF YOU AND ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.

AND I CONTINUALLY COMPLIMENT YOU ON THE DAIS AND OUTSIDE OF THESE WALLS AND HOW LUCKY WE ARE.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

THANK YOU. I WANT TO SAY TO ALL OF OUR FUNDING PARTNERS EVERYWHERE, ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE ARE SO FORTUNATE THAT DFM SAW THIS PROJECT AS WORTHY AND THAT THEY HAD THE MONEY AVAILABLE TO GIVE TO US BECAUSE THESE ARE THE KINDS OF PROJECTS THAT THE CITY CANNOT DO ALONE.

WE DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY, SO I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS.

OKAY, SO I HAVE A GREAT IDEA, WHICH MEANS WORK FOR SOMEBODY.

I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF WE WERE TO HAVE AN OPEN HOUSE AND REALLY SHOW OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE UP THERE. WE SIT HERE AND WE COMMEND YOU ON ALL THE GOOD WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE MAGNITUDE OF, YOU KNOW, THAT PROJECT AND WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD WE NOT DONE, YOU KNOW, FIXED IT.

SO I JUST THINK, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE IT'S MORE WORK.

I CAN SIT UP HERE AND ASK YOU TO DO THAT, BUT Y'ALL FIGURE IT OUT.

BUT I JUST THINK THAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS TO KNOW BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THEY DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, THEY HEAR 16 MILLION.

WELL, WHAT ARE THEY DOING UP THERE? YOU KNOW, SO I THINK SHOWING THEM WHAT WE DO WITH THOSE KINDS OF FUNDS AND WHY IT'S SO NECESSARY TO DO THAT.

SO ANYWAY, THAT'S JUST A SUGGESTION OR AN IDEA.

THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS.

SUMMER WOULD BE A NICE TIME TO DO THAT.

I THINK A LOT OF OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS, WE HAVE THE PLEASURE OF DRIVING BY EVERY DAY AND WE CAN SEE LIKE BEULAH UNIVERSITY, YOU CAN DRIVE BY, YOU CAN SEE PROGRESS, BUT WHEN A PROJECT IS 20 MILES AWAY, IT KIND OF REMOVES THAT ON YOUR DOORSTEP FEEL.

SO I THINK THAT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA IF YOU CAN JUST BEAR WITH US GETTING THROUGH IT FIRST.

VICE MAYOR. THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

DAVID, THIS IS KIND OF A QUESTION MORE FOR ME, I GUESS, BUT I BELIEVE I'M FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA AND THE STRUCTURES THAT ARE BEING DISCUSSED.

BUT I REALIZED THAT'S AN ASSUMPTION, AND I JUST WANTED TO TO MAKE SURE I KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL THIS, THERE'S A VERY STEEP TRAIL FULL OF ASPENS BETWEEN LOCKETT MEADOW AND THE INNER BASIN.

IS THIS THE SAME AREA? I THE ROAD SORT OF MEANDERS IN AND OUT THROUGH THERE AS WELL.

YOU HAVE TO CROSS IT A COUPLE TIMES AS YOU'RE GOING UP INTO THE INNER BASIN.

AND SEVERAL OF THOSE STRUCTURES LOOK FAMILIAR, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME ONES.

VICE MAYOR ASLAN.

SO THE BEST WAY TO START IS IF YOU EVER LOOK AT A TOPO MAP OR A MAP OF THE PEAKS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S KIND OF FINGERS THAT GO UP INTO THE WILDERNESS AREA.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE WATER RIGHTS FOR THE CITY PREDATED THE EXISTENCE OF THE FOREST SERVICE.

SO WHEN THEY DESIGNED THE THE WILDERNESS AREA, THEY WENT AROUND WHERE OUR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE WAS.

SOME OF THOSE SITES DO GO UP OVER 11,000FT.

SO THEY ARE ABOVE THAT ASPEN SECTION THAT COMES OUT OF LOCKETT MEADOW UP TO WATER LINE ROAD.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE FINGERS.

I WANT TO SAY BRIAN CAN PROBABLY CORRECT ME, BUT THERE'S PROBABLY FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT SPRINGS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT COLLECTION ARMS AND LATERALS THAT GO UP THAT ONE THAT YOU SAW WITH THAT ARMED METAL STRUCTURE.

IT'S ARMED BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AVALANCHE PATH ABOUT 11,000FT.

SO IT'S GOT TO HAVE SOME ROBUSTNESS TO IT TO BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND THAT.

[00:50:04]

BUT A LOT OF THESE HAVE EARTHEN STRUCTURES.

SOME OF THE SPRING BOXES ARE BUILT UNDER GRADE.

SO IT'S ALMOST LIKE A IF YOU PICTURE LIKE A V DAM UNDERGROUND THAT'S CAPTURING THE SPRING WATER THAT DOESN'T COME TO THE SURFACE, BUT IT CAPTURES IT UNDERGROUND INTO THE BOXES.

THAT ONE HAPPENS TO CAPTURE THE SURFACE FLOW.

BUT MANY OF THOSE CATCHMENT SYSTEMS ARE PROBABLY ABOVE 10,000, 10,500.

SO THEY'RE PROBABLY HIGHER THAN THAT ASPEN THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THAT TRAIL THAT GOES UP.

I'VE BEEN ON THAT ONE TOO.

SO IT'S MAINLY WHERE A LOT OF THOSE CATCHMENTS ARE A LOT OF SPRUCE FIR.

DOES THAT ANSWER? YEAH. WHAT I'M THINKING OF THE TRAIL GOES THROUGH THE ASPENS, BUT THE THE THE THE INFRASTRUCTURE WE'RE SPEAKING OF IS IT.

IT'S ALL ABOVE THAT IN THE FIRS.

SO I THINK WE'RE I THINK I'VE GOT THE RIGHT THINGS IN MIND.

I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY ALL THAT FURTHER WITH BEING ABLE TO GO ON THE TOUR NEXT TIME.

YES. NEXT TIME IT TAKES OFF.

SO IF YOU'VE BEEN TO THE INNER BASIN WHERE THAT THAT CABIN IS THAT WE'RE OPENS UP INTO THE MEADOW.

MOST OF THESE SPRING BOXES ARE ABOVE THAT ARE OKAY.

ABOVE THERE'S A COUPLE THAT ARE SIMILAR IN SHAPE AND APPEARANCE.

YES. THAT ARE DOWN BELOW.

YES. OKAY.

THE ENGINEERING OF THE DAY WAS VERY SIMILAR.

SO I WAS JUST GOING TO REAL QUICK FOLLOW UP.

SO STACY BRECKINRIDGE'S EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WE WILL WE ARE GOING TO PLAN A SPRING, PROBABLY EARLY SUMMER TOUR. I'M LOOKING AT HUNTER.

DEPENDS ON BECAUSE WE'RE IN WINTER SHUT DOWN AND THEN WE'LL START BACK UP.

WHAT DID WE SAY WHEN THE SNOW MELTS? OKAY, BUT WE WILL PLAN ANOTHER TOUR.

BERWYN'S GOING TO COOK FOR US AGAIN.

SOME AMAZING LUNCH AT THE BOTTOM.

SO DEFINITELY WE WILL WORK TO GET THAT ON YOUR AGENDA.

AND THEN WHEN THE PROJECT'S ALL DONE, WE WILL DO A BIG CELEBRATION THAT WE DID BACK IN 2010 AT THE BOTTOM, AND WHEN THE WATER IS FLOWING, WE'LL HAVE A COMMUNITY KIND OF CELEBRATION. SO THANK YOU.

USE THIS. ANYTHING ELSE COUNCIL? WELL, GRATITUDE ALL AROUND.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU.

OKAY, SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE THE THIRD AMENDMENT FOR GMP FOUR FOR CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR SERVICES WITH HUNTER CONTRACTING FOR A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE OF $9,044,907.

SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE I VOLUNTEERED TO READ THIS.

2024-08. THIS IS A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE GRANT AGREEMENT FOR AN ARIZONA STATE PARKS HERITAGE FUND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION GRANT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I'M ROBERT WALLACE, OPEN SPACE SUPERVISOR.

IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE.

I AM HERE SEEKING APPROVAL FOR OUR RESOLUTION AND GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE ARIZONA STATE PARKS TO ENABLE US TO ACCEPT HERITAGE GRANT FUNDS SO THAT WE MAY CONTINUE OUR COMMUNITY OUTDOOR EDUCATION EFFORTS.

OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE'VE MADE SOME GREAT PROGRESS WITH OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM.

LAST YEAR, COUNCIL APPROVED A ONE YEAR GRANT AGREEMENT WITH ARIZONA STATE PARKS, AND WE WERE ABLE TO HIRE MISS SARAH HOLDITCH TO HELPED US ACCOMPLISH 20 FIELD TRIPS WITH FUSD AND YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS TO OUR OPEN SPACE PROPERTIES.

WE DID 16 EDUCATIONAL VOLUNTEER TYPE PROGRAMS. WE SET UP AND COORDINATED THREE MEETINGS WITH THE NATURE EDUCATION COALITION OF NORTHERN ARIZONA.

WE UPHELD OR CREATED 32 NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH STEM PROFESSIONALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WHO HELP US LEAD SOME OF THOSE FIELD TRIPS TO OUR PROPERTIES AND GIVE STUDENTS A CHANCE TO MEET PROFESSIONALS IN FIELDS.

AND WE CONTACTED APPROXIMATELY 700 YOUTH.

SARAH'S WORK ALSO INCLUDED ASSISTING WITH A NEW APPLICATION TO THE ARIZONA STATE PARKS GRANT, AND STATE PARKS INDICATED THAT THEY LIKED OUR WORK AND THAT WE'VE BEEN ACCOMPLISHING A GOOD AMOUNT, AND THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT CONTINUED EFFORTS.

THUS, THE REASON I'M HERE TONIGHT.

SO WITH THE APPROVAL OF THIS GRANT, OUR SMALL TEAM WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO LEAD FIELD TRIPS TO OUR REGIONAL OPEN SPACE PRESERVES THAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE MAP THERE.

PICTURE CANYON OVER THERE IN THE EAST, MCMILLAN MESA JUST SOUTH OF BUFFALO PARK, AND THEN OBSERVATORY MESA THERE ON THE WEST.

THE PASS GRANT THAT THIS FUNDED THIS WILL CONTINUE FUNDING TO PERMIT THE OPEN SPACE PROGRAMING TO PROVIDE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL OPTIONS TO GET OUT TO OUR OPEN SPACE PROPERTIES, WHICH WILL ADD TO THE ELEMENTARY TYPE EDUCATION THAT WE ALREADY PROVIDE WITH ASSISTANCE WITH WILLOW BEND. WITH THIS GRANT, WE'RE ALSO EXCITED TO CONTINUE TO WORK SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE FLAGSTAFF STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURAL WORLD.

AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE NOT ONLY MANAGING OUR CURRENT OPEN SPACE, BUT SHARING ITS BENEFITS SO THEY CAN BE USED FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY AND AS PLACES OF HIGHER INSPIRATION AND EDUCATION.

WHAT WILL THIS GRANT ACHIEVE? THE GRANT CAN BE UTILIZED TO SUPPORT STAFFING FOR OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROGRAMING, SO APPROVING THE GRANT RESOLUTION AND GRANT AGREEMENT WILL CONTRIBUTE $119,724 FOR A PART TIME POSITION BASED ON A 35 HOUR WORK WEEK.

WE WILL COMPLETE A NUMBER OF OBJECTIVES.

IF FUNDED FOR THIS PROJECT, WE WILL CREATE.

WE CONTINUE TO CREATE OUTDOOR LESSONS THAT WILL PROVIDE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

WE WILL PROVIDE OUTDOOR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

WE WILL INCREASE REPRESENTATION OF UNDERPRIVILEGED COMMUNITIES THROUGH ENCOURAGEMENT CAMPAIGNS, AND WE INTEND TO INCREASE VOLUNTEER CAPACITY TO CONDUCT COMMUNITY EDUCATION AT OUR DIFFERENT SITES.

[01:00:03]

WHAT IS THE CITY AGREEING TO? WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLETING THE RESOLUTION OF A SIGNED GRANT AGREEMENT.

WE WILL CONTRIBUTE A $15,500 MATCH, WHICH HAS BEEN BUDGETED FROM THE OPEN SPACE BASED BUDGET.

WE WILL SUBMIT A DETAILED STATUSLY QUARTERLY REPORT AND WE WILL SUBMIT THE PROJECT DELIVERABLES AS WELL.

THIS DOES HELP US MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT SERVICE LEVEL.

IT MEETS OUR GOALS OF OUR SECTION, INCLUDING VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT, EDUCATIONAL AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH, FACILITATION AND PARTNERSHIPS, AND PROVIDING SERVICE FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED POPULATIONS.

IT ALSO HELPS MEET SOME COMMUNITY GOALS BY PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR INCLUSIVE AND ENGAGED COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, AND IT DOES ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO CARBON NEUTRALITY PLAN.

NEUTRALITY PLAN THROUGH CLIMATE EDUCATION.

SO THE OPTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION IS TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AS SUBMITTED AND AUTHORIZE THE GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ARIZONA STATE PARKS AND THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF IN THE AMOUNT OF $119,724, WITH THE CITY MATCH OF 15,500.

AND THIS WILL ALLOW STAFF TO CONTINUE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM, AND OPTION B WOULD BE NOT TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION, THUS DECLINING THE FUNDS.

HOPEFULLY THAT MAKES YOUR DECISION EASILY.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU ROBERT.

COUNCIL MEMBER HOUSE.

THANKS, ROBERT. THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM, AND I LOVE SEEING HOW YOU'RE ENGAGING INTENTIONALLY WITH THE COMMUNITY AND PARTICULARLY WITH YOUTH THROUGH THIS.

I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THAT GOAL OF INCREASED REPRESENTATION FOR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES? WHAT IS YOUR EITHER OUTREACH PLAN OR CAN YOU JUST SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THAT GOAL? YES. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, COUNCIL MEMBER.

WE WILL TRY TO WORK WITH TITLE ONE SCHOOLS.

SO WE'RE TARGETING TITLE ONE SCHOOLS FOR OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MOUNT ELDEN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND OFFERING MIDDLE SCHOOL SIXTH, SEVENTH, AND EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS FIELD TRIPS TO OUR OPEN SPACE.

AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COCONINO HIGH SCHOOL AND FLAG HIGH.

WE HOPE TO EXPAND THAT TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS AS WE PROGRESS.

COUNCIL MEMBER MATTHEWS, ARE YOU READY TO MAKE A MOTION? OKAY, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

IS THE AUTHORIZING THE GRANT AGREEMENT? IS THAT A SEPARATE MOTION? I'M LOOKING MAYOR. JUST ONE MOMENT, OKAY? OR IS THAT JUST INCLUDED IF WE ADOPT THE RESOLUTION? WE, IF YOU COULD DO THAT AS A SEPARATE MOTION, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

GREAT. ALL RIGHT, SO I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO READ THE RESOLUTION.

MAYOR. I MOVE THAT WE READ RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024-08 BY TITLE ONLY.

THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE AYE AYE.

CITY OF FLAGSTAFF, THE CITY OF WILLIAMS, THE CITY OF PAGE, THE TOWN OF FREDONIA, THE CITY OF SEDONA, AND COCONINO COUNTY FOR THE ADMINISTRATION AND FUNDING OF BRANCH AND AFFILIATE LIBRARIES WITHIN THE COCONINO COUNTY FREE LIBRARY DISTRICT.

WHEW. HI.

HI, I'M LINDA TILSON, THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR.

AND THIS AGREEMENT IS MOSTLY THE SAME TO THE PAST IGA.

THE ONLY REALLY SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THIS ONE ARE IT'S FOR A PERIOD OF ONLY TWO YEARS, AND IT'S USUALLY BEEN FIVE YEARS TRADITIONALLY.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE REALLY WANT TO DO A STUDY OF HOW THIS IS ALL SET UP.

AND SO WE WANTED IT FOR A SHORTER DURATION THIS TIME.

SO THAT'S THE REASONING BEHIND A SHORTER AGREEMENT THIS TIME.

AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT HAS CHANGED SUBSTANTIALLY IS UNDER DEFINITIONS IN 1.5, WE'VE CHANGED SOME OF THE WORDING ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE COUNTY LIBRARIAN, AND THAT WAS TO MAKE IT REALLY MATCH THE ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES, BECAUSE IT HADN'T REALLY MATCHED IN THE PAST.

COUNCIL. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO READ THE RESOLUTION BY TITLE ONLY.

SO MOVE. OH.

THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU.

ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? CITY CLERK.

A RESOLUTION OF THE FLAGSTAFF CITY COUNCIL APPROVING AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE COCONINO COUNTY FREE LIBRARY DISTRICT.

THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF.

THE CITY OF WILLIAMS, THE CITY OF PAGE, THE TOWN OF FREDONIA, THE CITY OF SEDONA AND COCONINO COUNTY, FOR THE ADMINISTRATION AND FUNDING OF BRANCH AND AFFILIATE LIBRARIES WITHIN THE COCONINO COUNTY FREE LIBRARY DISTRICT, AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THANK YOU.

CAN I GET A MOTION TO ADOPT? SO MOVED. CAN I GET A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. THAT CARRIES.

BEFORE MOVING ON TO C.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A TEN MINUTE BREAK.

OKAY, WE'RE GETTING STARTED AGAIN.

AND DID I FORGET WHERE WE ARE? NOPE. OKAY.

C OH, YES.

WHERE'S BRYCE? OKAY. MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE WAITED THE THE EXACT TEN MINUTES.

BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT BRYCE ISN'T HERE.

MAYOR. YES, I MIGHT SUGGEST WE CAN, IF YOU'D LIKE.

YEAH, WE COULD GO TO ITEM E IF YOU WANT AND COME BACK TO THE OTHER TWO.

LET'S DO IT. THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION.

IT WAS MY ITEM, SO I FIGURED I'D JUMP UP.

I WILL LET BRYCE GO.

OKAY, WE ARE BACK UP TO ITEM C, AND HERE WE HAVE BRYCE DOTY HERE TO TALK TO

[C. Consideration and Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-09: A resolution of the Flagstaff City Council, authorizing the acquisition of real property interests necessary for the Rio De Flag Flood Control Project, a public use; providing for delegation of authority, condemnation authority, repeal of conflicting resolutions, and establishing an effective date STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: Read Resolution No. 2024-09 by title only City Clerk reads Resolution No. 2024-09 by title only (if approved above) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-09]

US. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE.

THIS IS A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE CONDEMNATION FOR THESE PROPERTY INTERESTS.

SO EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE HERE ON THIS MAP IS GOING TO BE RELATED TO THE RIO DE FLAG FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT FOR THE PROPERTY INTERESTS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR THAT PROJECT ONLY.

SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT FUTS ACQUISITIONS, WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S NEEDED FOR THE READER FLAG.

MOST OF THESE WE WILL NOT CONDEMN.

WE ARE KIND OF ON THE FINISH LINE ON A LOT OF THESE, AND I'M HAPPY TO KIND OF GO THROUGH PARCEL BY PARCEL IF WE WANT TO.

JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A FEEL FOR THAT.

BUT TO KEEP ON SCHEDULE, WE REALLY WANT TO HAVE THAT POWER.

SO IF FOR SOME REASON OUR NEGOTIATIONS FALL APART, SAY, HEY, WE DID OUR BEST, BUT LET'S GO AHEAD AND KICK IT TO A CONDEMNATION, KICK IT TO THE COURTS.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TODAY.

I WAS RUNNING, I'M OUT OF BREATH.

TEN MINUTES GOES FAST.

OKAY, SO WE'RE ON THE THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROJECT RIGHT HERE.

[01:10:03]

AND LET'S JUST KIND OF GO THROUGH THEM REAL, REAL QUICK.

SO, MILLPOND, THIS IS THIS MOBILE HOME APARTMENT RIGHT HERE.

WE DO HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT TAKES ON THAT.

WE'RE REALLY CLOSE.

WE'VE GOT A DRAFT RIGHT OF ENTRY THAT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TRY.

AND BASICALLY IT'S GOING TO GIVE US THE RIGHTS TO DO THE PROJECT WHILE WE WORK OUT SOME OF THE DETAILS OF THE THE TRANSACTION.

THE MAIN DETAIL OF THAT TRANSACTION IS THAT THERE IS A STORAGE SHED IN THE MIDDLE OF WHERE WE NEED THE PROJECT, SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO ACCOMMODATE IT ON CITY OWNED PROPERTY JUST TO THE WEST OF IT.

THESE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT ARE PREVENTING US FROM REALLY CLOSING ON.

A LOT OF THESE DEALS IS TRYING TO WORK WITH ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND TO ADDRESS ALL OF THEIR VERY REAL SITUATIONS.

SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVEN'T CLOSED ON THAT ONE.

KING'S HOUSE, WE'RE JUST RESPONDING TO A RECENT COUNTER ON THAT ONE.

AND SO WE'VE STILL IN GOOD COMMUNICATIONS ON THAT ONE.

I THINK IT'S ALL VERY POSITIVE.

THIS THE NEW HYATT HOTEL HERE THAT'S OWNED BY A CORPORATION CALLED KRISTA ARE THE WE ARE ACTUALLY ADJUSTING OUR TCE LIMITS TO IMPACT TO DECREASE OUR IMPACT ON THEIR PARKING.

BECAUSE PARKING IS A REAL, PRETTY REAL BIG DEAL WHEN YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, 1 OR 2 NIGHT STAYS FOR PEOPLE.

SO THAT'S BEING ADJUSTED.

SO WE HAVEN'T CLOSED WHILE WE'RE TRYING TO REVISE OUR APPRAISALS TO REFLECT THOSE CHANGES.

PINE VIEW, THE APARTMENT COMPLEX IS OVER HERE.

WE REALLY ARE MAKING A LOT OF PROGRESS.

WE'RE TRYING TO THE MAIN FOCUS HERE ON WHY WE HAVEN'T CLOSED IS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIND ALTERNATIVE PARKING SPOTS FOR THEIR DISPLACED RESIDENTS DURING CONSTRUCTION.

AND SO WE DO HAVE A FEW POSSIBILITIES THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH.

SOME MIGHT BE LEASING PART OF THE KINGS HOUSE PARCEL TO FOR OFFSITE PARKING.

SO THAT'S WHY THAT ONE HASN'T CLOSED.

STATION ONE, SIMILAR KIND OF THING.

WE'RE LOOKING AT REVISING OUR TCE LIMITS SO THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE SOME PARKING SO THAT WE DON'T SHUT DOWN ALL OF THEIR PARKING FOR THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT. MY, MY, HE.

THIS IS THE GAS STATION ON THE CORNER OF OF MILTON AND MIKE'S BIKE.

I THINK WE'RE THERE. WE'VE RECENTLY WE'RE JUST RESPONDING TO A COUNTEROFFER.

CHETNA, WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE.

WE JUST HAVEN'T SEEN.

WE JUST HAVEN'T COMPLETED EVERYTHING AND GOTTEN IT ALL THROUGH THE DOOR.

AND THEN FINALLY WE'VE GOT L AND W SUPPLY OVER HERE.

THAT ONE. WE ALSO HAVE A DRAFT RIGHT OF ENTRY.

THIS ONE'S GETTING TIED UP INTO SOME PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS NEEDED FOR THE LONE TREE.

SO WE MIGHT JUST TRY TO BREAK OUT THE REAL ONES.

JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU LIKE A QUICK PLAY BY PLAY TO SAY ALL OF THESE REALLY ARE WORKING.

WE JUST NEED TO KEEP ON GOING TO THE NEXT STEP TO KEEP ON SCHEDULE HERE.

AND THE INTENTION IS THAT WE COMPLETE ALL OF THESE TRANSACTIONS WITHOUT USING THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN.

BUT WE ARE ASKING FOR IT TONIGHT ON THESE PROPERTIES.

SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS RELATED TO THAT.

BUT THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESOLUTION.

THANK YOU. BRYCE. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCIL. IF NOT, THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MAYOR. YES.

JIM MCCARTHY. YEAH.

I PUT SOME, I PUT A Q IN THE BOX, BUT I THINK I FORGOT TO HIT ENTER.

DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK. BUT ANYWAY, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

CERTAINLY. BRYCE IS THE L&W SUPPLY COMPANY, IS THAT THE ONE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW WEEKS AGO WHERE THE OWNERS WERE NOT VERY HAPPY WITH GETTING GIVING UP PARTS OF THEIR PROPERTY.

IS THAT THE RIGHT ONE? THE PARCEL YOU'RE REFERENCING IS THE ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIO.

SO THAT'S THIS WAREHOUSE RIGHT HERE.

L&W SUPPLY IS JUST A TINY LITTLE PIECE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIO FLAG.

AND SO THE ONE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, WE'RE NOT REALLY ADDRESSING THAT ONE TONIGHT.

THAT'LL BE A FUTURE ONE, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. WE ARE NOT THAT ONE IS NOT ON THIS LIST.

AND WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY CONDEMNATION AUTHORITY ON THAT PARCEL AT THIS TIME.

ALL RIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MAYOR, I MOVE TO READ RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024-09 BY TITLE ONLY.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE AYE AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. CITY CLERK.

[01:15:04]

AND THIS IS REGARDING THE KILLIP INLET AND AS PART OF SPRUCE WASH CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

I'VE GOT JUST A FEW MAP SLIDES TO SHOW YOU.

SO THIS ONE IS FOR THE AUTHORITY TO ACQUIRE ALL OR A PORTION OF THE PROPERTIES RELATED TO THE SPRUCE WASH KILLIP INLET PROJECT.

SO WHAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ARE TWO DIFFERENT PARCELS THAT ARE OWNED BY A SINGLE PROPERTY OWNER.

DEPENDING ON DESIGN, WE MAY NEED ALL OR A PORTION OF THOSE.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS THE AUTHORITY TO GO AHEAD AND NEGOTIATE AND ACQUIRE AND SPEND MONIES TO, TO TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR CONDEMNATION AUTHORITY FOR ANY OF THESE PORTIONS.

SO IF WE DO GET TO THAT POINT, WE WILL BE BACK TO YOU ASKING FOR THAT UNDER A SEPARATE RESOLUTION.

THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO READ THE ORDINANCE.

MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO READ ORDINANCE NUMBER 2024-05 BY TITLE.

USE OF COUNCIL INITIATIVE FUND.

GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR AND COUNCIL, STACY SALZBERG, CITY CLERK.

SO BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS SOME POSSIBLE ACTION CONCERNING YOUR COUNCIL INITIATIVE FUND.

THE COUNCIL INITIATIVE FUND WAS ESTABLISHED TO ENABLE CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE EXPENDITURES FROM TIME TO TIME THAT WOULD BE OF BENEFIT TO THE FLAGSTAFF COMMUNITY.

CURRENTLY WITHIN THE FUND, THERE IS $23,444 AVAILABLE FOR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

COUNCIL IDENTIFIED TWO POSSIBLE INITIATIVES THE SPONSORSHIP, OF PLANET EARTH AT THE NEW ASTRONOMY DISCOVERY CENTER AT LOWELL OBSERVATORY IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,000, AS WELL AS SUPPORT FOR THE YOUTH POET LAUREATE PROGRAM IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000.

INFORMATION ABOUT THOSE TWO REQUESTS WERE INCLUDED IN YOUR STAFF SUMMARY.

AND THEN ALSO AVAILABLE THIS AFTERNOON IS IF THERE WERE OTHER INITIATIVES THAT THE COUNCIL WANTED TO SUPPORT, YOU CERTAINLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT TONIGHT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

SO WE BRIEFLY DISCUSSED THE SPONSORSHIP OF PLANET EARTH A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

THIS STEMMED FROM A TOUR THAT SEVERAL OF US TOOK OF THE ASTRONOMY DISCOVERY CENTER AT LOWELL OBSERVATORY.

AND IT'S A ONE TIME THING, AND IT'S IN THEIR YOUTH CENTER.
