ORDINANCE G-5444 -
AMEND CITY CODE - CHAPTER 2 - REPEAL AND REPLACE ARTICLE 1 RELATING TO CITY ADMINISTRATION IN GENERAL
Request authorization to amend Chapter 2 by repealing and replacing Article 1 of the Phoenix City Code to make housekeeping changes to reflect the changing structure of the departments, to assure consistency and accuracy, to reduce redundancy, to subtitle for ease of reference, and to make technical corrections. These amendments generally modify the Code to reflect current organizational practice and to demonstrate compliance with the City Charter provisions regarding City organization.
In continuing to improve the effectiveness of the City's different functions, the City departments have changed and will continue to change. To allow flexibility for the structure within the different departments, these amendments would revise Article 1 to eliminate, to the extent practicable, the detail of each department's divisions and their associated positions. This change would eliminate the need to amend the Phoenix City Code each time the departmental divisions or positions change. Instead, the detail for each department will be included each year in the annual budget to Council.
In addition, Article 1 was amended to: describe the duties of certain administrative positions in a consistent manner; correct the names of the different departments and department head positions; eliminate provisions that repeat obligations otherwise set forth in the Charter, State law, or elsewhere in the Code; make technical corrections; renumber; and clarify delegations and designations.
Finally, this ordinance would correct department names and department head positions throughout the Phoenix City Code consistent with these changes and to demonstrate compliance with the City Charter.
This item is recommended by Mr. Washington and the Law Department.

CHAPTER 8 - AMEND ANIMAL CRUELTY ORDINANCE DISPOSITION PROCESS AND INCREASE BOND REQUIREMENTS
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve the following amendments to the animal cruelty ordinance:
—
An increase in the bond requirement - $500 per animal to defray some of the cost and care of the animal during the time the animal is under Arizona Humane Society care. Any unused bond amount is to be returned to the owner.
—
A separate disposition process - A law enforcement officer may request a hearing if there is probable cause to believe that an animal has been cruelly mistreated or cruelly neglected. At the hearing, the court may determine by a preponderance of the evidence whether an animal has been cruelly mistreated or cruelly neglected. If the court makes such a finding, the court may order the animal: (1) forfeited to the officer or agent to be made available for adoption or for transfer to a legally incorporated humane society or approved rescue agency, or (2) humanely destroyed.
This request for action was recommended by the Public Safety and Veterans Subcommittee on September 22, 2009.

ORDINANCE G-5446 -
AMEND CITY CODE - SECTION 2-98 TO INCREASE THE CTEF FEE AND SECTION 2-97 TO ESTABLISH NEW CRIMINAL NON‑COMPLIANCE FEE
Request to amend Phoenix City Code, Chapter 2, Article III, Section 2-98 to increase the Court Technology Enhancement Fee from $10 to $15 and Phoenix City Code, Chapter 2, Article III, Section 2-97 to establish a new Criminal Non‑Compliance Fee of $110 to be assessed when the court issues an Order to Show Cause Notice or Petition to Revoke Probation to gain defendant compliance.
Court Technology Enhancement Fee (CTEF)
On July 1, 2000, City Council established the CTEF for the exclusive purpose of enhancing Municipal Court technology. As such, a fee of $10, plus state surcharges, is imposed by the Court on each order or agreement to pay a fine, sanction, penalty, or assessment, excluding civil parking violations. CTEF funds are currently being used to support the Court's aging proprietary case management system, as well as the design and development of a replacement case management system scheduled for implementation in 2011.
During Fiscal Year 2008-2009, CTEF revenue was $1,181,839, barely exceeding $1,154,259 in CTEF expenses. Although the CTEF fund balance is currently $4,783,711, development and implementation of the replacement case management system will significantly deplete the reserve over the next 3 years. When considering the rate of inflation over the past nine years, coupled with the development of the new case management system, the Court Technology Enhancement Fee should be increased from $10 to $15, plus state surcharges. To do so, Phoenix City Code, Chapter 2, Article III, Section 2-98, Paragraph A. must be amended.
As a result, CTEF annual revenue will increase approximately $390,000 based on existing collection rates.
Criminal Non-Compliance Fee
On January 1, 2004, City Council established a Civil Traffic Default Fee of $25 for individuals that failed to appear in court, or failed to pay a pre-established financial sanction. The fee was created to recover the costs associated with additional processing and handling due to the cited party's non-compliance. On March 4, 2009, City Council increased the default fee to $40 based on a recommendation from the City Auditor's Department.
As mentioned, the referenced Default Fee only addresses non-compliance processing for civil traffic cases. Criminal cases have no such recovery fee and result in an even greater workload (i.e. additional mailings, file handling, Order to Show Cause notices and hearings, petitions to revoke probation and hearings, etc.) and can even lead to arrest warrants. When a criminal defendant chooses to ignore a court order, the process of holding them accountable is time consuming, resource intensive, and expensive. It should be noted that most municipal courts in Maricopa County assess fees ranging from $50 to $250 when addressing non-compliance through the issuance of an arrest warrant.
A recent review of Municipal Court staff duties and judicial involvement in the Order to Show Cause and probation violation processes revealed a minimum per case processing cost of $110. Based on this cost analysis, it is recommended a Criminal Non-Compliance Fee be created to recover costs incurred when a defendant chooses to ignore the orders of the Court. To do so, Phoenix City Code, Chapter 2, Article III, Section 2-97 will need to be amended by adding a new Criminal Non-Compliance Fee of $110 to be assessed on a defendant when the court resorts to an Order to Show Cause Notice or Petition to Revoke Probation to gain compliance with a court order. As with other fees, a judge may waive all or part of the fee if payment causes undue hardship, or if after a hearing the defendant is found to be compliant with the orders of the Court.
It is estimated the Criminal Non-Compliance Fee will generate $700,000 in General Fund revenue per year based on existing non-compliance and collection rates.
This item is recommended by Presiding Judge Song Ong and Ms. Seelhammer, and was approved by the Public Safety and Veterans' Subcommittee on September 22, 2009.

SELL COMPUTERS TO SOUTH MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL
Request authorization to sell 14 surplus computers to South Mountain High School for the sum of $1 each.
South Mountain High School is the site of the only high school-level Aerospace magnet program in Arizona. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) staff, located at the Phoenix Air Traffic Control Tower, partnered with South Mountain High School to provide internships and other training experiences for students in the aerospace program. The Aviation Department is also participating in the partnership and supporting the aerospace program at South Mountain High School.
The FAA is willing to provide new, updated software to support the aerospace program, but newer computers are required to run the software. The Aviation Department has 14 surplus computers available that would meet the system requirements of the software, allow access to the Internet, and provide a more up-to-date and realistic training program for the aerospace students.

Request authorization to accept up to $5,000,000 from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security (AZDOHS) for the Homeland Security Grant Program, and authorize the City Controller to receive and disburse the funds.
The responsibilities of Fire, Police, and Emergency Management are to enhance regional capability and capacity to detect and prevent terrorist attacks, reduce vulnerability to all critical hazards, minimize damages, and expedite recovery that affects the safety, well-being, and economic security of Phoenix residents and the surrounding area.

Additional funds may be awarded during the grant performance period due to the efficiency of jurisdictional partners in completing their projects under budget, which accounts for the additional funds.
There are 22 programs and projects that are included in this program. Grant funds are used to purchase equipment and vehicles, conduct training, hold exercises, conduct assessments on critical infrastructure sites, and to implement target-hardening measures to protect critical infrastructure sites. Funding is also used for programs such as the Terrorism Liaison Officer Program. The grants' focus on regionalization has forged jurisdictional cooperation and multi-discipline collaboration.
Financial Impact
No matching funds are required to accept Department of Homeland Security Grant Program funds for Fiscal Year 2009. All expenditures incurred by the City for this grant program will be reimbursed. The funds will be managed through the City of Phoenix Homeland Defense Bureau, the Fire Department, and the Office of Emergency Management.

AMEND ENHANCED MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS GATEWAY AND OASES
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Contract 58147 to provide funding up to $350,000 for the master planning, design, and initial implementation of downtown gateways and oases, and up to $300,000 for implementation of capital improvements to the downtown streetscape improvement district, and authorizing the City Controller to disburse funds.
The City contracts with the non-profit Downtown Phoenix Partnership (DPP) to provide enhanced services downtown. The contract provides for urban design and streetscape planning services within the district, where DPP is the sole provider of enhanced services. The downtown streetscape improvement district is specifically part of DPP's work program and DPP is in a unique position to successfully work with stakeholders to plan, design, and implement the downtown gateways and oases concept envisioned as part of the 2006 voter-approved bond program.
DPP will make the necessary improvements to the downtown core streetscape by replacing non-functional and critical City streetscape infrastructure to ensure downtown streets are well lit and shade trees have operable irrigation systems. The gateways and oases improvements will complement the City's and DPP's joint efforts to implement a comprehensive wayfinding system downtown. This will not only create additional shade in the urban core, but will also enhance a sense of arrival to downtown while making the streets more pedestrian-friendly.
This contract amendment will not impact the current district assessments. DPP is not only uniquely qualified to provide these services, but can begin some work immediately and they will not charge the City overhead as part of this contract amendment.
Financial Impact
Funding is available in the 2006 Street Improvement Bond Program in Fiscal Year 2009-2010.
Affirmative Action
Downtown Phoenix Partnership is eligible to do business with the City of Phoenix until June 10, 2010, by their compliance with the affirmative action requirements of the City Code, Chapter 18, Article IV or V. They are responsible for maintaining eligibility during the life of the agreement.

Request to amend Ordinance S-35718 to allocate HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds to Valley of the Sun School and Habilitation Center.
On December 10, 2008, the City Council approved Ordinance S-35718 authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to allocate up to $348,000 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME Program) funds in the form of a loan to Valley of the Sun School and Habilitation Center (VALLEY).

AMEND CONTRACT 107471 WITH DESERT MISSION NEIGHBORHOOD RENEWAL
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Contract 107471 and any related loan documents, if necessary, with Desert Mission Neighborhood Renewal fka Sunnyslope Village Revitalization, Inc. (DMNR) to extend the deadline for DMNR to complete the sale of the townhouse units constructed by DMNR in accordance with the City contract to December 31, 2010, and change DMNR's address to its new office location at 9201 North 5th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85020. Authorization is also requested for the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all necessary documents.
In March 2007, the City Council approved a HOME Program loan of up to $1,200,000 for the DMNR 12-unit new construction townhouse project. DMNR is currently in compliance with the terms and conditions of the City contract; has completed construction of the 12 townhouse units; and has sold six of the townhouse units. At the close of escrow on each of the six remaining townhouses, the City is repaid its zero percent construction loan of $100,000 per townhouse ($1,200,000 aggregate) less up to $30,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance per homebuyer.
In January 2009, the City Council approved a grant to DMNR of up to six percent of the unit sales price for realtor fees they may pay.
DMNR needs to complete sales transactions on the remaining six town homes. Staff is recommending that the contract be extended so families can participate in the $8,000 federal tax credit program for first-time homebuyers which is due to expire on November 30, 2009, and to allow DMNR to continue marketing the town homes through 2010.
Housing Impact
Affordable homeownership is generally defined as homeownership opportunities available to individuals or families between 50 percent and 80 percent of the adjusted family median income ($32,950 to $52,700 for a family of four).

DMNR is eligible to do business with the City of Phoenix until March 26, 2011, by its compliance with the affirmative action requirements of the City Code, Chapter 18, Article IV or V. The firm is responsible for maintaining its eligibility during the life of the contract and failure to do so may result in termination of the contract.

AMEND ORDINANCE S-36238 - ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL HOME PROGRAM FUNDING FOR RELOCATION EXPENSES
Request to authorize the City Manager to amend Ordinance S-36238 by allowing the Housing Department to use up to an additional $200,000 of HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME Program) administrative funds to pay the relocation costs of the existing tenants and/or lost rents to the owner in exchange for the City of Phoenix receiving transfer of the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract from the Casa de Paz Roeser Apartments as described below. This will allow the previously approved $2,200,000 to be loaned to Tanner Properties, Inc. to ensure a financially feasible development. Casa de Paz II Apartments, LLC is the current owner of the property.
On June 10, 2009, the City Council approved an allocation of $2,200,000 in HOME Program funds in the form of a loan by the City to Tanner Properties, Inc. for acquisition of the Casa de Paz Roeser Apartments and development of affordable housing units for rental to grandparents who have legal custody of and are raising their grandchildren. The ordinance further authorized the City Manager to accept transfer of an existing Section 8 HAP contract from Casa de
Paz Roeser Apartments to the City-owned Camelback Properties and Cypress Manor apartment complexes, and authorized the Housing Department to assist Tanner Properties, Inc. with relocation of the current tenants of Casa de Paz Roeser Apartments.
Since the approval of funding on June 10, 2009, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) informed the City that the current Casa de Paz Roeser Apartments tenants must be relocated in conjunction with transferring the Section 8 HAP contract, and the relocation must be completed prior to the change in ownership of the Casa de Paz Roeser Apartments. Authorization is requested for the prior City Council approval to be amended to authorize the Housing Department to assist Casa de Paz II Apartments, LLC with relocation of the current tenants instead of Tanner Properties, Inc. and for the Housing Department to use the additional HOME Program funds to pay the necessary relocation costs and lost rent amounts in order to comply with the requirements of the Section 8 HAP contract transfer and the Uniform Relocation Act (URA). Payment of lost rent amounts are designed to keep new tenants from moving into the units once the existing tenants move out, so that additional costs will not need to be incurred to relocate the new tenants. The Section 8 HAP contract will generate approximately $100,000 in net proceeds to the City of Phoenix annually.
In addition, estimated costs for asbestos abatement and other environmental remediation that will be required at the project site in connection with Tanner Properties, Inc.'s development project have increased, as determined during the environmental review process. Approval of the additional HOME Program funds will help off-set the increased costs and enable the loan to Tanner Properties, Inc. to remain at $2,200,000.
Authorization is also requested for the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all necessary documents and for the City Controller to disburse the funds.

CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into a contract change order to Agreement 120240 with Clear Channel Outdoor to sell and install bus advertising for the Public Transit Department.
This agreement was originally approved by City Council on October 4, 2006. The current agreement began October 1, 2006 and ends September 30, 2009, with one, three-year option and two, two-year options. The first option will continue the agreement from October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2012.
Clear Channel Outdoor was successful in a competitive bid to sell and install advertising on the exteriors and interiors of the Public Transit Department bus fleet. During the three years of the original term, the Department purchased new and replacement buses which were of a different configuration than the existing buses. Because of the different body styles, there was a loss of 147 advertising display spaces - mostly spaces on the back of the bus. This resulted in a decrease of available space for Clear Channel Outdoor to sell. The original agreement stated that "display spaces on the current advertising fleet shall not be diminished."
To address the lost advertising space, the minimum annual guarantee is reduced by a corresponding amount with this change order. The minimum annual guarantee was $2,000,000 or 62 percent of net revenues, whichever is greater. The change order will guarantee the City of Phoenix $1,653,503 for year four; $1,715,303 year five; and $1,778,957 year six. Further, the advertising space will be re-evaluated and the minimum annual guarantee adjusted annually.
Financial Impact
Exercising the three-year option will bring at least $5,147,763 in bus advertising revenues. This minimum annual guarantee amount is $1,219,491 less than the original terms.
Affirmative Action
The subject firm is eligible to do business with the City until December 15, 2009, by its compliance with the affirmative action requirements of the City Code, Chapter 18, Article IV or V. The firm is responsible for maintaining its eligibility during the life of the contract and failure to do so may result in termination of the contract.

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) for the resurfacing of Dynamite Road from Tatum Boulevard to 56th Street. Further request authorization for the City Controller to disburse funds for the construction of this project.
The County plans to resurface a one-mile section of Dynamite Road from Tatum Boulevard to 56th Street. The northern portion of the right-of-way is within the County, and the southern portion is in the City of Phoenix. This IGA will allow the City to partner with the County on a 50/50 cost share basis for the needed resurfacing.
The County will resurface the one-mile section of Dynamite Road using 1.5-inch depth rubberized asphalt overlay, plus any preparation work needed prior to the overlay. The County will invoice the City of Phoenix for 50 percent of the actual costs associated with resurfacing the one-mile segment of Dynamite Road.
Financial Impact
The total project costs are estimated at $158,072, with the City's share estimated at $79,036, but not to exceed $85,000. Funding is available in the Street Transportation Department's 2009-2010 Capital Improvement Program budget using Capital Construction funds.
Citizen Notification
MCDOT will provide construction management services for this project. Street Transportation staff will work with the County to ensure citizen notification occurs prior to construction.
The Street Transportation Department recommends approval of the request to enter into an IGA with the MCDOT for a 50/50 cost share arrangement to complete the resurfacing of Dynamite Road from Tatum Boulevard to 56th Street.

AGREEMENTS TO DEACTIVATE SRP IRRIGATION DELIVERY FACILITIES
Request to authorize the City Manager to enter into two agreements related to the deactivation of Salt River Project (SRP) irrigation delivery facilities located near 71st Avenue and Buckeye Road. Further request authorization for the City Treasurer to accept the funds for purposes of this ordinance.
The first agreement is a development agreement with TAG Land Buckeye West, LLC (Developer), who is requesting the deactivation. Under the development agreement, Developer will pay the City $6,000 and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City for the deactivation, and restoration if necessary, of SRP irrigation delivery facilities at this location. Developer's payment will be placed into a Citywide account established to pay the costs to reactivate and restore these facilities if requested by SRP. All developer deactivation payments are deposited into a Citywide trust account and accumulate over time. In the unlikely event that the restoration of the irrigation facility is required, funds from this trust account will be used for that purpose. This Developer's payment will not cover the full costs of reactivation, and restoration if necessary. Therefore, the trust account was created so reactivation costs are not borne by the City.
The second agreement is an agreement with SRP where the City agrees to assume all risks, liabilities, and costs to reactivate and restore, if necessary, the irrigation delivery facilities at this particular location. Also, as part of agreement, SRP requires the City to indemnify, defend, and hold SRP harmless for the deactivation, and restoration if necessary, of the irrigation delivery facilities at this location. This authorization is an express waiver of the limitations in Phoenix City Code, Chapter 42 pursuant to Phoenix City Code Sections 42-13 and 42-15. The authorization sought in this paragraph is conditioned on the Developer first entering into the development agreement referenced in the paragraph above.
SRP has previously represented to the City that the City's risk and liability is small to reactivate and restore, if necessary, the irrigation delivery facilities at this location. As a matter of SRP policy, SRP will not enter into an agreement directly with Developer for this work.
Financial Impact
Developer requested this deactivation and will make a payment of $6,000 to be deposited as follows:

Request to authorize the City Manager to amend Contract 118154 with Carter & Burgess, Inc. for the 7th Street and McDowell Road Intersection Improvements, and further authorize the City Controller to disburse funds related to this ordinance.
On April 3, 2006, Council approved Contract 118154 with Carter & Burgess, Inc. for the amount of $36,000 for 7th Street and McDowell Road Intersection Improvements.
This change order is necessary in order to redesign the construction plans. The original scope of work required an add/drop lane for 7th Street and McDowell Road. The original purpose of the project was to produce an upgraded intersection that would cause fewer delays to the traveling public. During the process of developing the plans, the project foot print was increased to facilitate adequate Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility, bus bays, and additional driveways. Right-of-way exhibits and documents were added due to the increase in project limits.
Financial Impact
The original amount of Contract 118154 was $82,308. Change Order 1 will increase the contract total by $36,000 to a total of $118,308. Funds are available in the Street Transportation Capital Improvement Program budget using Arizona Highway User Revenue.

The subject firm is eligible to do business with the City of Phoenix until June 27, 2010, by its compliance with the affirmative action requirements of the City Code, Chapter 18, Article IV.
