ORDINANCE S-36432 -
CONTRACT WITH PRISONER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Request to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract agreement with Prisoner Transportation Services for the extradition of prisoners. The City Manager is further authorized to enter into other agreements, or take any other necessary actions, to ensure that extradition functions are lawfully executed by the City.
As of July 1, 2009, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) will discontinue fugitive extradition services for Valley agencies, and the Police Department will assume the responsibility. Historically, the Police Department requires extradition services for approximately 275 fugitives a year in other states. Cost estimates vary depending on circumstances, but are generally less expensive than tasking Phoenix officers to extradite prisoners. Prisoner Transportation Services charges between $1.10 and $1.25 per mile per prisoner, depending on different charging factors, i.e., gender, location, special needs, etc. Prisoner Transportation Services will be able to transport as many as 80 percent (220) of the total projected required transports as long as the terms of the contract are met.
The City Controller is authorized to disburse funds pursuant to any contract or agreement entered into by the City for extradition services.
This item is recommended by Mr. Washington and the Police Department.

The proposed agreement provides that Glendale has built a spring baseball training facility for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox on 150 acres of Camelback Ranch.

Adjacent to the spring training complex, a mixed-use development has been proposed for the remaining 120 acres.

The public infrastructure was built by Glendale in Phoenix to support this additional mixed-use future development.
Glendale proposes the City of Phoenix reimburse costs of off-site infrastructure improvements recently completed. Only General Fund sales tax generated by Camelback Ranch and the mixed-use development and collected after the execution of the agreement will be used for reimbursement, not to exceed 80 percent, of the tax collected annually for up to 40 years. The maximum dollar amount to be reimbursed for the off-site public infrastructure is $37 million.
The agreement will also require that Glendale immediately purchase 1.38 acres of Phoenix property being used by Glendale for parking for the spring training facility and to reimburse the City of Phoenix for dedication of the east half of 111th Avenue at $5 per square foot and $768,711 for costs incurred in planning the proposed regional park at Camelback Ranch. The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department will retain ownership of three parcels of land in Camelback Ranch.

sell the two parcels within the next five years. Glendale will agree to reimburse the City of Phoenix for the dedication of the northern portion of the west half of the right-of-way for 111th Avenue if the Parks and Recreation Department does not sell the third parcel within the same five years.

DESIGNATE CITY OF PHOENIX A RECOVERY ZONE - EMERGENCY CLAUSE
Request to designate the City of Phoenix a "recovery zone" to gain access to Recovery Zone Bond benefits.
The United States Treasury Department recently issued guidelines and volume cap allocations authorizing the City of Phoenix to access up to $32,019,000 of Recovery Zone Facility Bonds. These bonds will be used by private companies to finance their expansions within Phoenix. Priorities for this program include projects that create new high wage employment in research and development, manufacturing or producer services, are located in redevelopment or revitalization areas, and/or promote growth in business sectors deemed to be a priority by the City Council.
In order to gain citywide access to Recovery Zone Bond benefits, a resolution is required designating the City of Phoenix a "recovery zone". The U.S. Treasury Department guidelines define a "recovery zone" as any area that has significant unemployment, rate of home foreclosures, poverty, or general distress.
These bonds would be issued privately and in no way involve the credit of the City of Phoenix.
Emergency Clause Justification
Time is of the essence to designate the recovery zone and gain access to these bonds for companies within the city of Phoenix.

NAMING OF NEW POLICE PRECINCT AT 2111 SOUTH 99TH AVENUE
Request to name the new police precinct at 2111 South 99th Avenue the Estrella Mountain Precinct.
On June 18, 2009, the Heritage Commission recommended unanimous approval to name the new police precinct at 2111 South 99th Avenue the Estrella Mountain Precinct. The Heritage Commission makes recommendations to the City Council on all proposals to name or rename city facilities other than park-owned properties, and has developed criteria to serve as a framework for considering naming proposals.
The Police Department conducted substantial research and solicited public input regarding a name for the new police precinct located at 2111 South 99th Avenue. Input was received from the community, community leaders, and departmental employees over a several month period. In all, over 150 responses were received regarding naming proposals, with the name Estrella Mountain Precinct receiving overwhelming support. The Estrella Mountains are located due south of the new precinct and can be viewed from the site; the name Estrella Mountain Precinct also clearly identifies that this precinct is located in the southwest part of the city.
Financial Impact
There are no financial impacts related to the naming of the new police precinct.
