Thank you, ma'am. Next up, I'd like to welcome down Jerry Ferguson for our invocation and to lead us in the pledge. Please stand if you can.

Let us pray. Almighty God and our Heavenly Father, it's with grateful hearts that we acknowledge your presence this evening as the town council, staff, and community gather to conduct the business of the town of Prescott Valley. It is because of your faithfulness to us that allows us to be here. Father, we begin this meeting. We want to thank you for the lives of employees Jamie Buckman and Kurt Hartwick. who invested themselves in the livelihood of our town. Their recent passing from this life reminds us how important it is to invest in each other as we live and work together. I pray that you'll be with their families during these times of adjustments and that you will give us wisdom in interacting with our fellow employees. In this election year, we thank you for those who were reelected and for the newly elected Jason Thornton. We also thank you for Kimberly Lopez for her service to our community. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the many ways you are blessing our community as we continue to grow in residential, population, businesses, property, and roadway developments. Thank you for the vision of our community leadership and for the many ways in which we involve our residents in our planning and development. Thank you for your protection of our first responders and medical staff. I also thank you for the street and road workers for their safety. And I thank you for all of our town council. I acknowledge that you're already aware of all that's going to be discussed tonight. Therefore, I pray for wisdom during the discussions and votes that take place. I acknowledge you as Lord and thank you for your faithfulness to all those who believe in your everlasting presence in our lives. I offer this prayer in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

You may be seated. Thank you, sir. Moving on, can I get a motion to approve the agenda as presented?

I'll make that motion, Mr. Mayor.

I'll second.

Clerk, please hold up.

Councilmember Kuehl, how do you wish to vote?

I approve. Yes.

And Councilmember Thornton? Thank you. That passes, Mayor.

Thank you, ma'am. Moving on, scheduled announcements. Chamber of Commerce spotlight. Mr. Brissetti, welcome.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Vice Mayor, Bellatown Councilmembers, and staff. The chamber closed out the month of July with their annual awards banquet. This year's theme was Boots and Buckle. It was a cowboy Western thing. And people really got engaged with the moment. We gave out a lot of many awards, recognizing the many outstanding businesses in our great community. Three, I'd like to call special attention to Steve Rutherford, longtime Prescott Valley resident, longtime past council member too, I believe. Received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Chamber of Commerce. We're really proud about that. Sparklight won large business of the year and Legendary Total Wellness and Longevity Spa was small business of the year. Again, it was a great event and I look forward, hopefully you guys put this on your calendar for next year as well. And no one goes on any planned vacations during this timeframe, Mr. Davidson. Looking ahead to the month of September, we have our 33rd annual Pronghorn Golf Classic. We tee off at 8 a.m. on September 19th. Registration is now open, 150 for individual golfers, 500 for a foursome. A lot of great prizes, a lot of opportunities for bragging rights as well. Hopefully be playing again this year, Mr. Zurcher. And our Hispanic Business Association, in partnership with the town of Prescott Valley Police Department, will host Puente de Comunidad Next month on Sunday, September 27th from 12 noon to 5 p.m. This is a really special event Highlighting the culture of the Hispanic community a lot of games activities great food Folkloria dancers and you know, you don't really get to see everything But if you don't want to miss one thing don't miss chief baptized or dancing with the Folkloria dancers That is worth the price of admission So we invite you all to come out for that. We are moving forward with this event, but we are being cautiously optimistic given the current climate in the community. So should we have to change the date for later on during the year, we will definitely notify you of that date change. Something to put on a placeholder for your calendars. October 9th through the 18th in celebration, highlighting the Prescott Valley culinary scene, we'll be hosting restaurant week. This is a chance for everyone to go out to the local restaurants with a QR code to vote for your favorite meal, your best restaurant. You'll see a lot of discounts, prefix meals, and family options for discounting purposes during that time frame. Finally, I want to wish and recognize the new chamber members, BMO Bank, Elagra Healthcare Group, Starstruck Event Planning, Emerald Elite Services, Scary Plants Media, Goodman Group Benefits and Insurance, M&S Painting, Scott Freitag as a commercial realtor, and Lasting Impressions Photo Booth. We have crossed 630 memberships, we're now at 632 members, and we're quite proud of that. and that's my report for the for this meeting mr mayor nicely done sir congratulations on reaching 6 30.

Next up, call the public. At this time, members of the public may comment on matters listed on the agenda or solely on matters within the jurisdiction of the town. Any persons wishing to address the council must register their name with the town clerk prior to the commencement of the meeting. At the conclusion of call the public, the council may respond to criticism, ask staff to review a matter commented upon, or ask that matter be put on a future agenda. Such remarks shall be limited to three minutes unless additional time is granted by the mayor. The clerk will read off some names for the first four. And if you've signed up, will you please work your way down to the front?

row seats please mayor and council we have nine people registered the first uh five names that you see on your screen is daniel warren chris russo liz kennedy carolyn cern joe colossimo daniel daniel welcome sir thank you sir

I didn't time this. I hope to be only three minutes, sir. So I'll begin.

I guess we'll find out.

Thank you, Mayor and Council and members of the community. Leadership and decision making are exercises in discretion, compliance and wisdom. I believe that a well-governed municipality produces good fruits, peace, security, fidelity, patience. In my brief time here, not two months, I have tasted those fruits. The people of PV have been wonderfully kind, and this town has provided a safe, peaceful environment where I could successfully prepare for the California bar exam, allegedly the 11th hardest exam in the world. If possible, based on my time here, I intended to permanently establish my family and my law practice now in Arizona. I love this state so much because of my experience here that I'm now happy to take a second bar exam so I can practice in Arizona. So now having finished law school, I finished the first exam. I can't practice. On August 3rd, not 10 days ago, I began to seek employment. By today, August 13th, I secured an excellent offer with a firm in Phoenix, which I have thusly accepted. Unfortunately, or fortunately to those who do not like the sound of my voice, this means I must relocate from PV. And that brings me to my core point. You didn't see this coming, everybody. While living here i've heard many grievances and much kvetching lobbied at leadership regarding the proposed sewer project designed to facilitate a 50% increase in population or thereabouts. But currently there are effectively zero viable options in PV for a professional like me to obtain suitable employment to sustain a family. In just 10 days I could have moved from a prospective resident to an active taxpayer expanding the tax base and directly supporting. this infrastructure growth. Even if it's just a penny, we're Christians, it matters. I wanted to give to that growth. I love it here. I could have moved my wife here. Our family may have grown here and become part of the leadership's vision of that growth, but that will not happen because the town's infrastructure is not yet equipped to support the speed and the needs of the professional and administrative class. It is a tough pill to swallow, but it must be said to grow the sewer project and others like it are committed absolutely necessary i'm living evidence of what is lost when vital infrastructure becomes fodder for malicious political attacks it weakens the body it stalls growth and it works against the fruits that we are called to create through our shared labor and our tough decisions i pray that the leadership maintains the diligence and the strict discipline that is required to legally develop this town and these types of projects. My hope is that one day PV can retain professionals who bring their expertise and competency to allow more good families to join the exceptionally kind people who are already here. I'm leaving soon, but I want to advocate for your leadership and ask the community to consider the perspective of someone who wishes the town had grown faster because this place my home. May I continue, Mayor, in just one line? Finish up, absolutely, sir. Thank you. I'm sorry to take any more time. Thank you. Thank you to the town. Basically, what I'm saying is that the community should keep an open mind for future prospective residents, doctors, lawyers, engineers, other professionals who stand to benefit the local community through their hard work, the training, the expertise. And hopefully, this is critical, everyone, the good spirit that those types of lawyers and doctors are going to come to bring to you. Okay, that's your prayer. Pray that they're good people and that one day they reside in this glowing town. Thank you for your time, Mayor and Council. Thank you.

Mr. Warren, when you said you were going to be a lawyer, I had no doubt you were going to go over your time of 30 minutes. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes. Chris Russo from Prescott Valley over there in Granville. First of all, I wanted to say I want to do something. That's a hard act to follow right there. I wanted to say thank you to everybody, the mayor and the vice mayor and the council and everybody that was involved in fixing that big divot over there on Jasper. I know it's not often that you guys get it, that you have somebody coming up here and tell you how good you guys are doing. But here I am. One thing I wanted to say also is that, and I hope I don't run out of time, I want to talk about some of the disgusting behavior that I've seen from some of the residents in this town as it refers to Michelle Birchall, probably one of the hardest working people in Yavapai County. Her job is just an unbelievable difficult job. She does it with good measure. She's very conscientious. The improvements that she made for voting in this county has been unbelievable for the short time she's been here. for people that dox her and her husband. It's just disgusting. They, you know, they were complaining about her taking people or having people using addresses down there at the county building. Well, that's in statute. You know, a lot of the people, they want illegals to vote, but here we are. They don't want Americans to vote that are down and out. People that are, you know, have hard times they want to vote too so they're using that building down there as an address so they can register to vote that's great that you know that's perfect um the the thing about well there was something else about michelle i can't remember but uh also i wanted to say welcome jason thornton you had some big shoes to fill over there And I hope that you remember that you represent all of Prescott Valley, not just the PACs that got you elected, that you represent Prescott Valley. You don't represent Chino Valley. You don't represent Dewey. You don't represent Prescott Country Club. You represent the people in Prescott Valley. So welcome. Thank you.

Thank you, sir. Next up, Ms. Kennedy. Welcome.

Thank you very much, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council and staff. I'm here for that favorite subject, the flock caverns. I'd like to know, I've talked to actually a couple people here in the audience, they don't even know what they do or why we have them. In the recent Chandler incident where the plot cameras were audited and there was discrepancies. Sedona's taken them down, Chandler's taken them down, Scottsdale's been screaming for months. Can you please educate

our community what they are and have you used them for any um criminal activity thank you thank you ma'am carolyn zern next three up joe classimo arson eagle sharon freed oh mr

Carolyn Zurn, I live at 715 North Blue Spruce Drive in Prescott Valley. I just want to welcome and congratulate Jason Thornton on his election. Thank you very much for running.

Thank you, ma'am. Mr. Quasimo. Mr. Nigel. Then Laura Coble and Ron Amersall.

Good evening, Lawrence Nigel, former candidate for mayor. My congratulations to Jason Thornton for a well-run campaign and a well-deserved election. I hope those shoes you're filling aren't high heels. I want to appreciate Janelle Keel, Ken Freund, and your standing for righteousness and the right way to do things on this council level. you are seated in an honorable position. And because you're in honorable position, you have to earn the respect of the people. It's not given automatically. I'm not gonna talk about the campaign. It was what it was. I was grateful for all those who came out and voted, for those who bailed in their ballots. They wanted to see change in this community. They still wanna see change in this community. And I hope to be a source of information to them as they come down here and continue to approach the council with issues that concern them. It has to be a better community. There has to be openness. There has to be honesty. There has to be integrity and transparency. And right now, it's lacking some of those qualities. We hope that will change by our influence. One example I want to share with the public is that when you file a complaint with the town management, you should expect a response from them. Doesn't matter what the response is, but they should respond. And as we filed, I have filed a complaint.

Mr. Nagel, if you would please address the council, not to the public. I'm addressing the council. So focus on the council from the podium, please.

Are you going to give me my time back?

Oh, okay.

The problem is that you should expect a response. And if you don't get one, you come down here and you demand one. And I'm demanding a response to a complaint that I filed well over three weeks ago. Nothing has been shared whatsoever. I was promised an investigation by an outside agency. No such investigation took place. And as I developed the information after you respond to me, then I will be able to share the details with the Secretary of State and with the Attorney General's office. I intend to do that. It's not sour grapes. It's simply expecting what we should expect as citizens of this community. And I thank God for the First Amendment rights that we have to free speech. And I would hope that we safeguard that in our hearts and in our daily actions. Thank you. Thank you.

And if I can remind the public, we have decorum in this room. This isn't Dewey Humboldt Council meetings. This isn't next door. So if you can't be adult enough to not use profanity, then maybe you should leave. Next up, Sharon Freed. Sharon Freed.

Welcome, ma'am. All right, how do I do that? Don't start the clock or put it back. Hey, Sharon Freed, resident of Prescott Valley. I submitted a FOIA request on July 30th, 2026 at 10 a.m. I received an email confirmation also on July 30th, 2026. Today is August 13th, 2026, 10 or 11 days since I submitted my FOIA request. According to the town website, under timely response, in accordance with ARS 39-121-01, if requests cannot be accommodated within 10 working days, requester will so be advised of the delay and the reason for it. I have not received any response to date. Failure to respond and produce the requested documents is deemed an illegal and unlawful denial of my Freedom of Information Act request per Public Records Law ARS39-121-39-161. So for the record, I will read it now. Request number PRR2026410. Please provide the following details and information regarding the flock cameras that were installed throughout Prescott Valley, the names of the flock employees who were involved in the town contracting with them, the names of the town staff who decided to contract with the flock company, the number of flock cameras installed in Prescott Valley, their exact locations and capabilities, in addition to photographing license plates, i.e. photographing the crotch area, facial recognition, audio recording of conversations in private vehicles, signal tracing, all electronic devices in vehicles, drone connections, etc. Please provide all still pictures, videos, facial recognition, audio recordings, and all tracking documentation of myself and my vehicle for the past 60 days, dates, times, locations. Please provide a copy of a document signed by me, giving the town of Prescott Valley, the flock company, and the Prescott Valley Police Department permission to photograph my vehicle, my license plate, my face, and to surveil and track my movements throughout prescott valley and before i end i want to welcome jason thank you so much for running and i'm glad you're here thank you ma'am next up miss laura couple did i say that right couple coval coval welcome ma'am thank you

Good evening, my name is Laura Covell. I own a small business here in Prescott Valley. On July 13th, I submitted a written notice concerning what I believe are open meeting law violations involving the town's license plate reader and real-time surveillance program. The town's clerk's office confirmed receipt on July 14th. Today is 30 days from that confirmed receipt. ARS section 38-431 05 says illegal action transact transacted during a meeting held in violation of open meeting law is null and void unless properly ratified so i want a straight answer what date does the town contend discovery occurred if july 14th did not start that clock state the legal basis for that position because if july 14th is when the town discovered or reasonably should have discovered violations. October 1st is too late for statutory ratification. And October 1st is not a pause. Every day between now and then, the system keeps operating. More plates are photographed, more location records are created, more searches can be run. A study session seven weeks from now does not protect the public today. I reviewed 179 council meetings. I found votes on grants, votes on funding, related purchases, and a 12-month pilot. You have voted on money. You have voted on grants. You have never plainly put the surveillance program itself before a public vote. What I did not find was a properly noticed council action converting that pilot into the permanent. Integrated surveillance system operating today. If that vote exists, produce it. What meeting, what agenda item, what motion, what recorded vote? And while we wait, people in this community are privately telling me they're afraid to speak publicly. They describe fear of harassment, intimidation, and retaliation for questioning people with influence. And you expect those same people to be comfortable with government having the ability to reconstruct their daily travel. That is why the audit trail matters. If October 1st happens, do not turn it into a vendor sales bridge. Bring the evidence. Who searched? Who was searched? Why? What a case or incident number was entered? Was there a warrant or other legal process? Who received the information? And has this power ever been abused? Do you not tell us what employees are supposed to do? Show us what they actually did. Article 2, Section 8 of the Arizona Constitution says, no person shall be disturbed in his private affairs or his home invaded without the authority of law. lawful authority to investigate us we do not need government's permission to investigate our government so do not spend the next seven weeks continuing to exercise the surveillance power the public is still trying to determine was ever properly authorized bring the vote bring the audit logs bring the legal authority you already have the power now show the public how you got it and how you used it this does not waive my open meeting law complaint or my written objections thank you thank you

Next up, Ron. Welcome, sir.

Hello.

Welcome, sir.

Well, I've got several things that I want to go over. Jobs. Sir, if you're going to be a lawyer, I've got plenty of work for you. Trust me. Part of it's about this town. Second one, I was driving down the 69, which I know that's technically not your jurisdiction, but a motorcyclist was quote-unquote lane filtering or splitting or whatever, and he decided that since I'd moved over to where I could see in front of me that he couldn't get through. He got cranky about it. He kicked my bumper, went around, broke my mirror. I've got camera pictures of this guy. I've got everything on this guy. Well, apparently the motorcyclists in this community know that they can get away with pretty much anything. I hear them going up and down the street at 3 o'clock in the morning with little fart cans going and zipping down there. I know how fast they're going because a Kawasaki at full rev in second gear will do over 90 miles an hour. So, yeah, I know they're going too fast. Your police department's basically a joke with them. Let's get into cars. Okay. Boom, boom, boom. It's coming out of the back of them. That's a noise ordinance. The fart cans that are on them. it's a noise ordinance issue. You guys don't do anything about it. So people think they can get away with it. Well, if they can get away with that, what else can they get away with? So yeah, your whole police department here is about revenue because I saw them. I don't remember which holiday it was. My wife had an emergency. We had to go to the hospital and, And we come back, and your police officers, they all have these cameras out going, hmm, who's speeding? Who's speeding? That's a revenue thing. How about the motorcycle that doesn't have any exhaust on it that's revving to 1,800 RPMs or whatever it is? You know, they're making all sorts of noise. No revenue in that, I guess. So I'd like to ask what you're going to be doing about that. Same with the cars and everything else, the noise. Okay, the job. Back to the jobs thing. You've got people coming in here with coffee companies. That's not going to pay a real wage. Now for the real one, cameras. I'm going to invoke my Fifth Amendment right to how I know how easy it is to hack the camera over there at Circle K on the Prescott East Highway and the 69, but a little thing called a Flipper Zero. Somebody was sitting there, pushed a few buttons, found out that, yes, we can see what's in your car. Every frequency, every Bluetooth that's turned on, every Wi-Fi that's turned on, We can hack into your cell phone using the flock camera. This is not insane technology. We want to know what's going to go on. I just came back from Texas. There is a court that just found the city guilty of negligence, or I don't remember exactly what it was, based on the fact that the town had these flock cameras. People hacked them, and it's just, could be anybody here? and they can find out anything about anybody on anybody's device. So if you want to keep the cameras, I'll keep the lawyers coming. I am known as a litigious person, and I believe the police department called me a constitutionalist. I'd like to see you take them down, or I will take you down.

Thank you, sir. Next up, Council Communications, Councilman Flynn.

Mr. Mayor, I just want to acknowledge that last Tuesday was National Night Out, and I want to give a big shout out to all the residents in the town and all the venues that hosted events for National Night Out. I also want to acknowledge all the hard work put in by the police department, because without their hard work, National Night Out would not be as successful as it was. So thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Davidson, manager's report.

uh mr mayor members of the council we do have a volunteer fair we have a large group of members of our community here so if anyone is looking for opportunities to volunteer if you've had a career in a particular field and want to give back this is a great fair to be able to come learn about the town and some of the different areas that we have volunteers it's going to be september 16th from 11 to 2 here at the civic center additional information is on the town's website We also have our Fall Citizens Academy. It's starting in a few weeks. The applications for this particular academy are due on Monday, August 17th. So if you have any interest in spending about eight weeks and literally getting to learn all about the town government, this is a great event to be able to do that. And then as our chaplain had prayed about, I do have a very, very sad announcement that we had had an unexpected loss of two of our town staff members this past week. And it's been a very tough week for all of our town staff. Jamie Buckman, who was with our Human Resources Department, and Kurt Hartwick, who was with our Development Services Department. They both were incredible and valued members of our team, and we will dearly miss them, and we certainly send our condolences to their families. Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Next up, consent agenda. All matters listed under consent agenda are considered routine by the town council and will be enacted by one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items. If discussion is desired, that item will be removed from the consent agenda and will be considered separately.

Mr. Mayor, I make a motion to approve the consent agenda with all items 8A through 8E by electronic vote.

I second.

Mr. Mayor, I make a motion to appoint Cynthia Strick-Arringer to the Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commission for a remainder of her term with renewal date of June 30th, 2029 by electronic vote.

Councilmember Perfect? Mayor, that passes.

Got a motion and a second.

Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to appoint Sharon Tooley to the Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commission for the remainder of a term with a renewal date of June 30th, 2027 by electronic vote.

I'll second.

Council Member Keehle?

And again, no, I don't think that a political activist, I think that it's gonna cause some turmoil.

Thank you. Mayor, that passes.

Thank you, ma'am. And I'd also like to pass along that you're free to exercise your First Amendment right anytime you'd like. That goes to all candidates and all residents, right? Moving on, item 10A, ordinance number 2026-981, town code restrictions, reference pedestrian presence in town medians. Council, anything to add for Mr. Legler?

Mr. Legler, on this new change, does this override what we previously recently passed where people are not allowed to solicit to automobiles that are passing?

mr mayor and council as i mentioned last time we are modifying the prior town code provision that specifically said no approaching at all of vehicles and that's based on some of the changes that have occurred and in the legal aspect of that and so we are moving to focus on medians that's something that we see other communities doing that we believe we can enforce

So just for clarification, if someone is standing on the side of the road rather than on the median and they are soliciting car drivers as they pass, that's okay?

Mr. Mayor and Council, it isn't directly a violation as it was previously. There might be other things that could be brought forward under our town code, but if they are not in the median, it will not relate to this ordinance provision.

Thank you.

anything else court ordinance number 2026 981 an ordinance of the mayor and common council of the town of prescott valley and municipal corporation of arizona amending chapter 11 traffic to prohibit occupation of certain traffic medians for any purpose other than the lawful crossing of the street in chapter 10 offenses to make conforming changes Providing that all other chapters, articles, and sections of the town code not hearing amended shall remain in full force and effect. I'm providing that this ordinance to be effective 30 days after its passage and approval according to law.

Thank you, ma'am. Shall this ordinance pass?

Council Member Keough, how do you wish to vote?

Yes.

mayor that passes thank you ma'am next up 11a infrastructure improvement plan and land use assumption development impact fees this is a public hearing which is open now mayor vice mayor council and welcome councilmember thornton um today we have a public hearing uh item only for the lua in the iip that is the land use assumptions document and the infrastructure improvement plan Those are both required documents for the diff or development impact fees. This item did come before council in May. As an introduction today is the public hearing item and then this will come before council again. in September. And then later in the fall will be conversations about GIF. So today we have Raf Telles on with us, some representatives of Raf Telles, and they will go through a short presentation and answer any questions.

Excellent. Thank you. Mayor, members of council, good evening. My name is Todd Cristiano with Raf Telles. I was back here back in May. We went through kind of detailed presentation of the calculations and what it took to get into these development impact fees. So tonight's presentation is somewhat abridged. Someone abridged version of that and be more happy to answer any questions that we go along. So I'm going to share my screen really quick. And hopefully everything will work out OK. Excellent. OK. And we started this process back in January. We've been working with staff along the way for these different fees here. And there hasn't been obviously any changes since we began. Just a couple of things here with the legislative requirements, the methodologies we used, and obviously the fees that we completed all the calculations on. And we, I think we have a fee comparison at the end here. Obviously the Arizona Reservoir Statutes 9-463-05 outline the requirements of a development impact fee. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather some of the key points about how impact fees should be designed and what can be considered within an impact fee. And obviously we have to adopt an infrastructure improvement plan or IIP, and the fees need to be proportionate for the cost and the benefit that the developer receives. We can't be using these development impact fees for O&M expenses, any sort of increase in the level of service or any sort of projects not identified in the IIP. And the upgrades to meet higher level services is really important there, and that's part of the calculations, making sure that our fees are set at the same level of service that is currently in place with the town. So the required documents by statute, obviously the land use assumptions, the IIP, and then the development calculation, the development impact fees. Some key things that are required, and these are really important because changes in these items obviously have a huge impact on whether the fees will go up and down, up or down, and things like population, housing, job projections, the square footage projections, land use categories. And a lot of these things come from areas like the Census Bureau and other local Arizona forecasted population and job information as well. And we utilize that just as we did the previous study. The IIP lists out the existing conditions and deficiencies. We have to look at the existing capacity, look at the future capital planning and timing. project the service units, project the demand analysis. Basically, it sets the stage for the assumptions that we're going to use that go into the calculation of the fee. The different requirements here, again, fee proportionality, the calculations we use must show proportionality by breaking up the development between residential and non-residential and the demands. Both of those types are going to be placing on the system or the infrastructure. and obviously needs to be tied to the IIP. And again, very important is that we need to maintain the existing level of service when designing these fees. So as was mentioned here, we are at the August 13th period. There's still some more steps to go before these are adopted. And the total days from start to finish is 260 days. We have a minimum of 225 days to be able to adopt these fees. So we're well within that reach. The minimum is 225, so we're at 260. So we've got everything spaced out accordingly and appropriately for to get feedback, comments and make adjustments. So some of the changes from last time we lasted this study back in 2020, the population has gone up about 6500. That's the growth rate of the 1.5% of the next 10 years. We're anticipating about 3000 new housing units, about 1300 new jobs and 869 non residential square footage of of space that will be built, and that's growth-related. Obviously, those growth-related items are going to place an impact on the system, hence the reason we're designing these impact feeds to recover the cost of growth for this new type of development. Let's talk about streets first. We have a fairly large IIP here, and what we have on here is a number of the projects and the additional lane miles that are going to be added or repaired. And we worked with staff to determine what portion of these projects are growth related versus repair and replacement, maintaining the level of service. That way we're not making sure that we're not trying to include costs for maintaining level of service. And so you can see there in the red box that we're estimating about $14.9 million worth of growth related streets projects over the next 10 years. So we go through all of our calculations looking at the growth in housing units and population and square footage and our fees come out for both residential multifamily and the non residential group. You can see that there is an increase across the board. A lot of that has to do with changes in the growth rate for the previous study and some of the demand characteristics that we use for for this type of development have changed since COVID. We noticed a change in that, especially with transportation related items and trips and that sort of thing, which does play in part to a lot of these fees here. So just some changes from last time, plus probably the most important part here is that cost just went up. And we've seen that all around, but soon after COVID, there were some really large inflationary increases. I think that was probably the primary driver for these increases, as are the increases for the other fees as well. Police. Here we're estimating our growth cost is at $2.5 million all the way over there on the right-hand side. And we consider with police impact fees, we consider buildings and the square footage of those buildings, and we consider the count of vehicles and the amount of new vehicles we're going to need to sustain um new growth over the study period same thing with the buildings we look at well as we increase our population and need for police services we're going to need to increase the facilities the size of facilities the number of vehicles over time and so we're estimating it to be around 2.5 million dollars over the study period And again, here we're seeing some increases on single family, the maximum supportable fee of 676 versus 404 for the current fee. You can see there on industrial that there is really no change. That came out to be about the same. And there's some other increases as well for office and other services and retail and restaurants. And again, we're seeing this across the board, not just with the town of Prescott Valley, but with other communities as well. Obviously, they're seeing the same impacts of inflation and changes in demographics and growth slowing and that sort of thing that all plays part in how these fees might be increasing. Parks and trails. We're missing a sign there, but we also have some parks and trails items that over the next 10 years we're going to need to support. Again, we have some increases here. The maximum supportable fee for residential or single families going up at $814. multifamily as well, industrial not quite as much, and other services, retail restaurants obviously seeing an increase as well. And I believe a majority part is I don't have the slide on it for some reason that this was some new facilities that are getting built to sustain the new growth coming in and just obviously the cost of those facilities to support growth over the 10-year period are really driving the increases here. So when we look across all of your fees between your current and proposed fees here, we've added in, we've got our streets, parks and trails, police. We have library, but that will be going away. That's kind of a grandfathered in fee that will be going away once the debt service is paid off. But it is still a required fee today. That's why we didn't look at it. You didn't see it in the above fee calculations. And you can see that overall we are seeing an increase between the proposed fees and the current fees with single family going up about $3200 for all fees, all non utility fees. And we're seeing an increase of about $1800 from multifamily. Overnight change column there. And again, some increases for the non residential as well. So in summary, when we did this study this time, there were just some changes in demographics in terms of growth. and some of the trip data that we use to calculate the fees have changed since COVID. And if you think about now more people are working from home than are going to the office. So it changes this trip generation, which plays into each one of these fees and as well as just the overall inflationary factors that came about after COVID. And so people are still kind of seeing that pinch on all sorts of fees, be it water, wastewater impact fees or rates, and certainly here with the general government or non-utility fees. So here's a quick fee comparison. This is where we sit in comparison to the other communities. Obviously, these other communities don't have all the same fees that the town does, and they might be under the process under their five-year review of updating their fees. these other communities might be shifting by the end of the year as well. And so we just don't quite know. But the snapshot in time as of May, this was where Prescott was sitting. And so I do want to stress that you see there at the bottom it says Prescott Valley maximum. That really means maximum supportable. And I just want to be clear on that, that that's really the maximum supportable fee that can be supported by data, math, and calculations. Obviously, the town is free to adopt amount is just going above that amount might be speculative because we would not be able to support that through the calculations and data that the town provided to us during during this study. So let's see. Here's a hotel room, 112 rooms, 60,000 65,500 square feet. Again, back down here in the middle compared to other communities and not all communities have the same amount of same type of fees, so that's something to consider as well. And a grocery store about in the in the same spot here. 20,000 square foot grocery store again kind of in the in the middle there. Give it kind of a taste of the different types of development you see from the commercial side. That concludes my brief presentation and summary presentation from last time. Be happy to answer any questions regarding the study or any kind of calculations or details behind it.

Thank you Sir Council. Any questions for Todd? the nonices of public hearing is anyone wish to come down and speak on this topic? We have one signed up, but that doesn't necessarily mean we only have to stick to one. So welcome him.

mr mayor good evening vice mayor council it's been way too long since i've been before you mr cristiano welcome it was nice to see your presentation once again i want to share with you that myself sandy griffiths executive director of the contractors association my fellow industry representatives and of course the community and the citizens of prescott valley we all understand the necessity and the importance of infrastructure improvement plans and development impact fees. They're tough, but we understand the necessity. I wanted to share a couple facts with you and figures. In 2014, the land use assumptions identified from the consultant for development impact fees were $5,196 per home. In 2023, the land use assumptions identified impact fees, the amount approved was $6,133 per home. Now in 2026, our consultant through the land use assumptions has identified impact fees $9,343 per single family home. Those fees do not include water or wastewater. From 2014 to current proposed to today's proposed fees, that is a 79.18% increase. Just wanted you to have some facts because I track these religiously. Mr. Cristiano has proposed growth assumptions on housing units. I rounded it off, Todd, to 3,000. It was 2,900. I went to 3,000. I track single-family homes. I've been doing permits tracking for 20 years. Based on the assumed assumptions for Prescott Valley for 2026, we will need 2,480 homes. That puts Prescott Valley in 20 years, the fifth lowest from the bottom. We're not growing much. I feel that we're coming off of that growth and we're coming down. So with all due respect, I would like to request that the consultant, Todd, come back into the mix where we can discuss defensible basis for the proposed projects. And I'm not here to state a policy preference at all to lower fees. I want us to all be on this same level playing field and understand exactly what's happening, where our growth percentages are, and we need to look at these fees because I surely don't want Prescott Valley to be at the top tier of that slide that we saw tonight. So I thank you, Mayor and Council, and I'm looking forward to some sort of gathering or Zoom meeting with Todd where we can chat about these fees and move forward. So thank you.

Thank you, ma'am. Anyone else? Anyone else wish to speak on this topic? Seeing none, close public hearing. Mr. Barton, anything to add? Council, anything for Mr. Barton? Seeing none, moving on. Item 11B, consideration of possible action to approve agreement with Wildan Financial Services. Mr. Barton, walk up again.

Mayor, Council, we've undergone a competitive RFQ process. We had two submissions and ultimately WILDAN was selected for our water and wastewater rates study and analysis. Before you tonight is their agreement, the agreement with WILDAN to commence this study. This will happen over the next several months to the end of the year or to the beginning of next year. We have some representatives of WILDAN with us today, Dan Jackson and Jason Gray, and they will go through a short presentation and answer any questions.

Welcome, sir.

you mayor vice mayor town council members thank you for your time tonight my name is jason gray i'm a vice president with will down financial services dan jackson here with me tonight as well who's been working with the town in a variety of capacities for nearly 30 years tonight on your agenda is approval of an agreement with us to do a variety of different studies generally speaking in regards to your water and wastewater systems wastewater and water and wastewater rate study, capacity fee studies, similar to what Mr. Cristiano just presented on, but for the water and wastewater side, water resource fees, as well as the cost allocation plan. Again, multiple, generally speaking, utility-related types of fees and studies. A little bit about WILDAN. We have been working with Prescott Valley now for a number of years. We are a publicly traded national corporation. I won't go through all the details here, but we have done about 350, probably closer to 400 rate studies across the country. We've served many cities within Arizona, cities and towns really across the country. But from our office in just north of Dallas, Texas, we serve primarily Texas and Arizona. You can see here some of our other national clients as well as our national offices. again our experience within arizona specifically we think is is unmatched you can see here the those in yellow indicate projects within the last five years so not just a long history of projects within arizona but several very recent ones as well we've done serviced over 50 cities and districts within arizona since 1997. We provide a variety of different types of services, cost allocation and user fee studies. And that's a portion, a big portion of what we have before you tonight. Development impact fees in relationship with the capacity fee, utility rate and cost of service studies, which is kind of the core piece of this agreement. We also do financial economic impact and feasibility studies, special district formation and annual administration and bond compliance as well. Generally speaking, the rate study methodology, again, while there are several different studies included as part of this agreement, I'm going to focus primarily on rate studies here tonight and the methodology. Really, it's a three-step process. We work with your staff to figure out how much revenue is needed. We figure out who is incurring or causing that cost to happen, and then what the rates need to be in both amount as well as design in order to cover and recover the costs that are associated with the revenue need. The outcome ensures that you will have proposed rates that cover your full costs of doing business for your water and wastewater services for, we do a 10 year projection and we'll come back and we'll propose to you a multi-year rate plan as well. Again, specifically our history and our experience with the town, Again, Dan Jackson, who's here with me tonight, worked with the town in acquiring Shamrock Water Company back in 1998 and has been working on a variety of different projects with the town ever since then. We were last engaged in 2022 to prepare a water and wastewater rate study, a drainage fee study, and a non-rate revenue analysis. So we'll be doing two of those three as part of this agreement that non-rate revenue analysis is not a portion of this particular agreement. We have worked closely with staff to develop alternative rate and financial plans that have funded the significant growth as well as minimize impact on rate payers to the extent possible, recognizing that as these costs continue to increase, you are operating your utility fund essentially as a business. and that likely will be the case where rates will need to be increased as well. We'll model, we'll develop, we'll test, and we will only be required for new studies as it goes forward. With that, be happy to take any questions or comments that you have.

Any questions for staff or presenter? Mr. Barton, you want to add anything? All right. I have a motion, could I have a second?

Mayor, I'll make a motion to approve the agreement with Wilden Financial Services and related budget transfers as outlined in the fiscal analysis section by electronic vote.

I'll second.

Please follow up.

Council Member Keough?

I approve.

Thank you. Mayor, that passes.

Thank you, ma'am. Moving on, Department of Public Safety grant agreement amendment. Chief Martin, welcome, sir.

Mayor, vice mayor, council, good evening. Jeremy Martin, assistant chief with the police department. On January 6th of this year, the town approved acceptance of the 2025 Department of Public Safety local border security grant in the amount of $363,390. This was for a police department range classroom, a drone, forensic evidence kits, off-road vehicle. At this point, the classroom has costed more than we anticipated. Granted, seven months later, prices have gone up. At this point, we're requesting $351,182 of those funds be used for the classroom. This does not change the amount of the grant. We're simply asking that the funds be reallocated towards the classroom.

Thank you, sir. Any questions for Assistant Chief? If not, I'll entertain a motion.

Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to approve the proposed amendment to the previously approved Arizona Department of Public Safety, known as DPS, local border support grant by electronic vote.

I'll second.

Council Member Keele?

I approve.

Thank you, mayor. That passes.

Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, sir. Next up Del Rio Springs. Well, operation agreement report of emergency procurement per town code three dash zero four dash zero six zero. Welcome.

Mayor, Vice Mayor and Council, it's delightful to be in front of you again today to talk to you about this is just an informational item regarding a needed operation that we're going to be engaging in at Del Rio Springs and This is pertaining to property and the company water right that was purchased in fall of 2021. Right number is listed on the screen. And it is for 68.6 acre feet. And it's established already as a type two groundwater right. and we have an application in review at adwr for conversion of that right to a surface water right we are able to do that because of historical use of that right as a surface water right uh documented it's documented that way um the so we are required to actually use the water right on a regular basis as per our legal counsel as advised by our legal counsel water council um and it strengthens our water rights portfolio um and that's for the anticipated gila river adjudication process and our um our need to exercise the right house we have to use it every five years And this informational item I'm talking about this evening in the packet is allowing us to exercise the right in a timely fashion. We're coming up against that five-year deadline and we need to be using that right. Just to give you a brief summary of what we're gonna be doing, we're gonna be rehabbing one of the wells and operating it to actually pull water from the ground. And we're going to be installing a temporary pump and power equipment and constructing a temporary discharge line. We're going to be monitoring and collecting pumping data. And this will be a short-term project, no longer than three months long. probably a far shorter time span than that. And the water will be used for watering trees and native vegetation at the adjoining Del Rio Springs State Park property. And we have an agreement with state parks to actually be able to do that and be able to document it as a beneficial use of that water right. And we will need to, in the future, be exercising this right at minimum every five years and there's been discussion of potentially doing that in the future for the state park this is our way of of of helping to uh potentially support a what would be a really cool state park when they get it going so that's all i have for you thank you ma'am so basically it's a use it or lose it type of situation we're in and that's why we're exercising our five-year right at this time Yeah, we need to be able to document that within every five years we have used or, you know, used in good faith the amount of the water that is allocated to that right and that protects it so that way we are in good shape for the adjudication process.

Thank you, ma'am. Councilman? I think, you know, I agree with the idea. I think it's important that we do this. My two questions are, one, Is this the least expensive way we can do this to exercise the right? Is there any less expensive way for the taxpayers? And the second part would be, it seems like it kind of may have fallen through the cracks that we're doing as an emergency. So is there some kind of a solid plan in place for the future that we won't be caught in that position and we'll be ahead of the curve next time?

Yes, I'll answer your second question first. We have been, as I said, in talks with state parks about potentially teaming with them on a more regular basis to be able to help establish native vegetation. The property that the state park is going to be established on has been used for grazing for a number of years, so it's not necessarily a native habitat at the moment. They are certainly, I think, interested in potentially reestablishing native vegetation. Your first question, we actually found out fairly late last fiscal year that we were going to need to exercise the right and had to get it into the budget process for this fiscal year. So timing-wise, we had about six months of overlap to be able to get that water right exercised. Procurement processes tend to take a long time, so we were kind of stuck. We ended up having to go through an emergency procurement for this process.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Anything else for Steph? all right thank you ma'am moving on final item 11e ordinance number 2026-982 adoption cmc 26-001 windmill farm site from rl 70 residential single family limited to cg commercial general sales services general luck thank you mayor vice mayor members of council and staff for all your support um like you said this is a zone map change for windmill farms at parcel 402 uh 02048e

The parcel is located north of State Route 169 on the east side of 69 just south of the Kachina Place intersection. As you said, the request is to rezone approximately 2.2 acres of vacant land from RL70 to CGPD, Commercial General Sales and Services Planned Area Development. As you see on the map to the north there, the properties are also zoned CGPD. The uses proposed are Retail A, Retail B, Service A and Service B from Chapter 13 of our zoning code. THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED IS A BUILDOUT OF TWO SPEC BUILDINGS, MUCH LIKE THE NEW ROBERTS MARKET BUILDING THERE THAT HAS NOW SACURA, BOSA, AND LINDO, MEXICO. THE BUILDINGS WILL BE BUILT IN PHASES WITH PART OF THE FRONT BUILDING COMING FIRST. EACH BUILDING WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 9,000 SQUARE FEET UNDER ROOF, AND A TOTAL OF 85 PARKING SPACES WILL BE PROVIDED. This slide here is what the uses will be allowed. So we're conditioning it to all of these uses that are allowed in there, which are those retail A, retail B, service A and service B. So all of that is basically what will be allowed on this site. THIS AREA IS DESIGNATED IN THE GENERAL PLAN AS PAD 5-2. THE CHARACTER OF THE PAD 5-2 FROM THE GENERAL PLAN SAYS THAT IT OFFERS DIVERSE HOUSING, COMMERCIAL OFFICE AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WORKING OR LIVING IN THE VICINITY OF THE STATE ROUTE 69 CORRIDOR AND TO SERVE THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. THE LAND USES ALLOWED ARE LOW DENSITY, MEDIUM DENSITY, MEDIUM HIGH DENSITY, REGIONAL, COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL. AND SO THE ZONINGS THEY'RE ALLOWED ARE RL, RS, MF, CN AND CG. THE REASONING FOR THESE USES IN THE PAD 5-2 IS APPROXIMATELY TO STATE ROUTE 69 AND STATE THESE ARE JUST A FEW GOALS AND POLICIES THAT ALIGN WITH THE PROPOSED REZONE, ENHANCE AND PROMOTE THE STATE ROUTE 69 CORRIDOR WITHIN THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY AS A MAJOR SHOPPING AND RECREATION EMPLOYMENT AREA AND MAINTAIN A VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL USES TO MEET THE SHOPPING NEEDS OF RESIDENTS OR VISITORS. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF ZMC 26-001 WINDMILL FARMS. ADDITIONALLY AT THE JUNE 8TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL 6-0 WITH CONDITIONS OF A COCOMPLIANT LANDSCAPE PLAN AND A LETTER OF NO CONFLICT FROM APS. I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

NEW SPEAKER THANK YOU, SIR. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING WHICH I AM OPENING NOW. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? CLERK, THERE WAS SOMEONE EARLIER, CORRECT? SIR? COME ON UP. JUST PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, SIR. JUST STATE YOUR NAME PRIOR.

NEW SPEAKER MY NAME IS DONALD CRAWFORD. I reside there, and this is Christine Hendrickson. She's the owner of the property. I'm a co-owner with her. We just had a few questions referring to the site map and everything. We recently heard that they say that there's going to be an emergency exit on the backside of the property here going to Den of the Lane. That's not even a possibility. That's not our – that's not – That's the property behind us, people. There's a gate there. The only reason the gate's there is because Tom Weber and Terry Weber, the owners that previously, which was her father and uncle, lived there. They only got that gate open with the okay from the resident behind them. That's not even a pathway there. So I don't know what's going on with that. We just wanted to adjust that because we're not sure what's going on. Somebody mentioned to her in an email to Chris in an email that that was going to be an emergency exit out the back gate. That's not even supposed to be a gate there. It was given approval by the resident behind us. That's their property, just so he can go see his brother at the end of Denham. So we want to just kind of find out what's going on with that if we're not sure. And... The flooding like the property has playing and now they're also said that any kind of water that runoff it but it's going to continue the natural flow which is down the entire property out the back gate on the existing properties behind us. What are they going to control the water. I guess that flow to the back of the property where we live. And Fencing, we're just wanting to know what kind of fencing is going up between the two properties. Is there going to be a fence, a block wall for privacy for us, for the new businesses that are going up there? Or is it a chain link fence to where we're looking at the back of these buildings, everything behind it, or what? And the front gate, they say they've got to maybe relocate it. Who is responsible for relocating it? Are they relocating it on their behalf for what they're developing? And are they just going to move over more? There's just different questions we don't have any answers to, and we're just kind of curious because we don't know what's going on.

you sir yeah staff will be able to i don't know if you have their contact information they can answer all those questions for you pardon me staff will be able to answer all those questions that you just had all right so who would i who would that be after the meeting i'm sure the clerk has your information or the town manager and they'll be able to reach out and get in touch

and then all right so any questions don't bother saying anything now or because i mean like the traffic control we have a hard enough time getting out of the property now and if they put a business in there they kind of put a light in them right there or a roundabout or what's going to happen they'll be able to answer all that for you sir absolutely all right thank you that's it then thank you anyone else wishing to speak on this item seeing that i'll close public

Staff, did you want to address any of those comments or would you just go offline with the gentleman?

Thank you, Mayor and Council. A couple of the items that they did ask, we are aware about. The drainage is an issue that we're aware of and we put that in a condition with the planning and zoning. The traffic access, we did require or put a condition in that they'll need to get a traffic impact analysis and get it approved by ADOT.

Thank you, sir. Anything else for staff? Seeing none, entertain a motion.

Mayor, I'll make a motion to read ordinance number 2026-982, adopting zoning map change 26-001 by title only on two separate occasions, then place the same on final passage by electronic vote.

I second.

Court, please call the vote.

Council Member Keogh?

I'm sorry, I didn't get I didn't hear that we could discuss this at all. Is there a stipulation that it must conform to Exhibit A?

Yes, there is.

And is there a timeframe stipulation for construction?

I don't believe we put it on this, but we can definitely add it here.

Okay. And what do you think would be sufficient?

That's up for your discussion. I would suggest probably two years.

Okay, I'm good with that. Then I will vote to approve.

Mr. I want to pause you for a moment. 2 years is not very long to put a development project like this forward.

Mr. yeah, I mean, you may want to extend that a little bit, you know, just with. What is all involved in team up for a major project? You've got to go through a whole design phase, you know, how they procure that on their end. So just you may want to have a little bit more time.

yeah i would say first applications in two years and we that'll be like ipr initial plan review before any true construction documents yeah absolutely they want to come in by that initial application yeah absolutely that's easily handable mr mayor my motion will actually stand i don't think a time frame right now is applicable i do think that um that it must conform to stipulation um in general conformance is a very important

believe that is also in there we have a motion in a second mr mayor council we do have a motion on the table and so we need to know council member keel's vote in relation to that motion that motion hasn't been amended vice mayor has the motion at a second in let's vote on that and then we can go forward further if we have to i believe that's the order of operations council

Is there a stipulation it has to be in general conformance with exhibit A?

Yes, there is.

OK, then I have a vote to approve.

Mayor, that passes.

Thank you, ma'am. Anything for the good of the order?

Can I read the ordinance?

Yes, ma'am.

Ordinance number 2026, 982, an ordinance of the mayor and common council of the town of Prescott Valley and municipal corporation of Arizona, amending the town zoning map by changing the zoning district classification of approximately 2.42 acres, APN 402-2-48E.
