<div class="ExternalClassDFBB06744A7B4BB08ED6F90211AB2FC3"> On this page: <a target="_blank" href="#workshop">Watch Super Bowl Presentation</a> <a target="_blank" href="#sign">Temporary Sign Permits</a> <a target="_blank" href="#permit">Temporary Use Permits</a> <a target="_blank" href="#liquor">Liquor Licenses</a> <a target="_blank" href="#closures">Downtown Street Closures and Restrictions</a> <h2 id="workshop">Watch Super Bowl Presentation</h2> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy8E3tZ_1NY" target="_blank"><img alt="Presentation Preview" src="/piosite/MediaAssets/sb/video_preview2.png" /></a> <h2 id="sign">Temporary Sign Permits </h2> <img style="margin:0px;" src="/newssite/PublishingImages/Deadline%20For%20Temporary%20Signs.jpg" alt="Deadline is Dec. 15, 2022" /> With the Super Bowl fast approaching, the Phoenix Planning and Development Department is asking business owners in downtown to start early to ensure their business complies with zoning and signage for events. Temporary sign permits and use permits for certain activities will be required and staff is preparing for an influx the closer to the event. Temporary signs require a permit to ensure they are safely placed and do not block visibility for traffic and pedestrians. Please allow seven business days to processes the <a href="/pddsite/Documents/TRT/dsd_trt_pdf_00160.pdf" target="_blank">application</a> (PDF) for a temporary sign permit. You can submit for your <a href="/pdd/onlineservices/electronic-plan-review" target="_blank">application review</a> electronically. Banners also require permits and must not obstruct pedestrian areas, parking areas or traffic. Banners need to be mounted to a solid surface, not attached to railings or hung between vertical posts or columns. To find out if a specific sign type is allowed, or if a business owner believes an additional use permit may be needed or for any other questions, contact the Signs Section at <a href="mailto:pdd.signservices@phoenix.gov" target="_blank">pdd.signservices@phoenix.gov</a> or 602-495-0301. <h2 id="permit">Temporary Use Permits </h2> Businesses looking to expand some of their services during this time may need to apply for an Extension of Premise or a Use Permit. These applications may be needed for extending outdoor and indoor uses, including extending outdoor seating and staging areas for special events. The application types below would apply to most businesses hosting events leading up to the game. 1. Extension of Premise (to extend liquor license area) Businesses that want to extend the liquor licensed areas of their business will need to submit <a href="/pdd/planning-zoning/pzdocs" target="_blank">an application</a> to the Zoning team for processing. Expect eight-weeks minimum for processing. Once the City completes their review, the applicant is responsible for delivering the application to the <a href="https://www.azliquor.gov/" target="_blank">Arizona Department of Liquor</a> (DLLC) for issuance of the license. 2. Zoning Adjustments (Variance, Use Permit, Temporary Use Permit) Businesses hosting events may be required to apply for a a <a href="/pdd/planning-zoning/pzdocs" target="_blank">Zoning Adjustment</a> such as a Variance, a Use Permit or a Temporary Use Permits. These requests require a public hearing, and the outcome is not guaranteed. Allow eight-weeks minimum for processing. A Temporary Use Permit for a temporary event is needed when outdoor uses are proposed that are not permitted by the zoning district. It must be used in conjunction with an extension of premise application if it includes occupying required parking spaces. 3. Administrative Temporary Use Permit (ATUP) An <a href="/pdd/planning-zoning/pzdocs" target="_blank">Administrative Temporary Use Permit</a> can be approved administratively. The extension of commercial activity cannot include outdoor entertainment, food trucks, or take over required parking spaces. The event must be limited in the hours of operation if within 300 feet of a residential zoning district. The applicant may also have to meet other standards in Downtown Code Character Areas. Staff recommends to expect an eight-week processing timeframe. Contact Zoning Staff with questions about the above processes and other special circumstances. Visit <a href="/pdd/planning-zoning/pzservices/zoning-use-permits-variances" target="_blank">Planning and Developments Zoning Use webpage</a> for more information. <a href="mailto:zoning@phoenix.gov" target="_blank">zoning@phoenix.gov</a>. Planning and Development staff expect to see a high demand as we get closer to the event. Business owners are encouraged to submit their applications and requests early. The processing timeframes are estimates and could change depending on the application and special circumstances. <h2 id="liquor">Liquor Licenses </h2> Liquor Licenses in the State of Arizona are issued by the <a href="http://www.azliquor.gov/" target="_blank">Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC)</a>. The City of Phoenix makes a recommendation to the DLLC on whether a Liquor License Application for a location in Phoenix should be granted or not. Applications for Liquor License Series 1 - 14, 18 & 19 must be filed directly at the DLLC, and will then be forwarded by the DLLC to the City of Phoenix for review and recommendation. Please note that each Liquor License Application has separate DLLC and City of Phoenix Application Forms and Fees. Rules and regulations related to liquor licensing can be found in <a href="https://phoenix.municipal.codes/" target="_blank">Phoenix City Code Chapter 6</a> and <a href="https://www.azleg.gov/arstitle/" target="_blank">Arizona Revised Statute Title IV</a>. If your business is looking to get a liquor license in time for the Super Bowl, the City Clerk Department recommends you apply for it <a href="/cityclerksite/MediaAssets/Regular%20Liquor%20License%20Process%20Overview.pdf" target="_blank">at least 60 days</a> (PDF) ahead of time. To determine which type of license you need, refer to <a href="/cityclerksite/Documents/liclist.pdf" target="_blank">this list</a> (PDF). R<a href="/cityclerk/services/licensing/liquor/regular" target="_blank">ead more about about obtaining a liquor license within the City of Phoenix</a>. <h2 id="closures">Downtown Street Closures and Restrictions</h2> Details about road closures and restrictions related to events in the downtown region are in the process of being finalized. A map and other helpful know-before-you-go fan experience information will be shared in the coming months. </div>

Phoenix Fire and Local 493 Host Annual RBO	https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/fire/2948	Fire	12/6/2023 7:00:00 AM		https://youtu.be/Hkfygd50EPc	Phoenix Fire and Local 493 Host Annual RBO	<div class="ExternalClassAD63F804788E4CC9A8CDFBB42B57C99B"><html>RBO is a rich and successful aspect of the Phoenix Fire Department’s history and culture.<br><br>This year marks the 34th Anniversary of our annual Relationships by Objective (RBO) annual Labor Management process. It is an important retreat that allows the Phoenix Fire Department and its partners in United Phoenix Fire Firefighters Association (U.P.F.F.A.) Local 493 to identify organizational priorities that affect our firefighters and civilian support staff. Labor management members work collectively on naming and achieving goals that are critical to helping our department thrive. <br><br>The process began in the late eighties after tumultuous challenges began to erode the relationship between fire labor and management. The RBO process, which is now deeply institutionalized, begins with a labor management retreat during which both sides bring organizational priorities to the table. Goals are identified and representatives from labor and management are assigned to find solutions. It allows the fire department to seamlessly come together on issues which effect our members. <br><br>This year’s annual retreat was held at the city of Phoenix Burton Barr Pulliam Auditorium. Approximately 75 members attended with the first order of business, to review the 2023 action items. The event was also broadcast live on the Phoenix Fire Department’s Youtube Channel and social media.<br><br>Action items from this year’s event included development of a strategic plan, examining staffing automation, evaluating a wellness fitness initiative, reviewing the labor management team procedure, an assessment of nature code responses, healthy work hours and a work schedule assessment, career development, and a pilot program on firefighter fitness and injury prevention.<br><br>In the afternoon labor and management leaders discussed new action plans for 2024. Some action items were carried over, such as the Strategic Plan Implementation and nature code response assessment. Others are new, such as staffing automation and integration, payroll efficiencies and solutions, developing internal and external workshops, and strategies for internal communication. Co-chairs representing labor and management were named for each new action plan. Each sub-committee will name quarterly goals and report regularly to labor management leadership.<br><br>Sometimes a group decision is not possible or not in one or both parties’ best interest. In those cases, the appropriate party (labor or management) will decide. The Fire Chief has the final decision-making authority for management decisions, and the Union President has the final decision-making authority for labor decisions. This is agreed upon by the participants and is a key to the effectiveness of labor/management process. <br><br>The beauty of the RBO process is that it is a “give and take” for both sides and the outcome usually represents what is best for the “greater good” of the organization. That is a win that both labor and management can always agree upon.<br></html></div>	https://www.phoenix.gov/fire	Video
Critical Incident Briefing - November 20, 2023 - 25th Drive and Earll Drive	https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/police/2947	Police	12/4/2023 10:00:00 PM		https://youtu.be/D86PxkHpX54	Critical Incident Briefing - November 20, 2023 - 25th Drive and Earll Drive	<div class="ExternalClass8994475272CB45F3948E2AC0310440A0"><html> <p><strong style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;">WARNING: The attached video may contain strong language as well as graphic images which may be disturbing to some people. Viewer discretion is advised.</strong></p> <p>The Phoenix Police Department released a Critical Incident Briefing (CIB) video that includes audio, visuals and information related to an officer-involved shooting (OIS) which occurred on November 20, 2023 in the area of 25th Drive and Earll Drive.</p> <p>This incident originally began in the area of 24th Drive and Thomas Road when Phoenix Police contacted a man after an officer almost struck the man as he rode his bike midblock across Thomas Road. </p> <p>During this contact, the officer detained the man by escorting him to the ground. While on the ground the man did not follow commands. The officer saw a handgun in the man's waistband and order the man not to move. The man resisted and forced his way to his feet. The officer pushed the man away to create distance and took cover behind her patrol car. The man ran away west on Thomas Road. While running the man fired multiple rounds in the officer's direction. </p> <p> </p> <p>Conclusions about whether the actions of the officers are consistent with department policy and the law will not be made until all facts are known and the investigation is complete. An internal investigation by the Professional Standard Bureau is currently underway, in addition to a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation is complete it will then be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. </p> <p>Public records law required redaction of certain personal identifying information before video is released publicly. This is why you may see some parts of Body Worn Camera (BWC) blurred or covered with a black box.
