You
City
Clerk
our
study
session
tonight
is
we're
going
to
have
some
scheduled
public
appearances.
Many
of
you
are
here
for
that,
as
well
as
recognitions
and
a
proclamation,
and
then
we
will
be
discussing
a
number
of
items
on
our
consent
agenda,
of
which
we
will
be
voting
on
on
Thursday.
So
with
that
vice
president,
please
join
me
up
front.
G
H
So
Mike
Mike
began
his
career
with
the
police
department
back
in
1998,
after
serving
in
the
United
States
Army
after
the
academy,
after
Academy
training,
he
quickly
established
himself
as
a
focused
and
highly
determined
officer.
He
sharpened
the
skills
over
the
years
and
developed
a
reputation
as
a
dedicated
and
talented
patrol
officer.
His
hard
work
paid
off
when
he
was
selected
to
become
a
field
training
officer.
H
He
then
spent
the
next
several
years,
training
and
developing
new
officers
before
he
moved
on
to
the
position
as
a
property
crimes
Detective
during
Mike's
12
years
in
detectives,
he
made
a
significant
impact
on
behalf
of
our
community
by
tenaciously
investigating
and
Prosecuting
both
property
crimes
and
arson
crimes.
He
later
returned
to
patrol
where
he
currently
serves
as
a
field.
H
Training
officer
shaping
the
next
generation
of
Chandler
officers
throughout
his
career
Mike
has
served
our
department
in
a
number
of
different
ways,
in
addition
to
his
primary
assignment,
he's
also
a
trained
Crisis
Intervention
officer
and
served
five
years
as
a
crisis
negotiator
for
our
SWAT
team,
so
Mike.
Thank
you
for
25
years
of
dedicated
service
to
our
community.
H
G
So
mayor
and
Council
I'm
pleased
this
evening
to
recognize
Mr
John
Knutson,
our
Public
Works
and
utilities
director
for
his
20
years
of
service
to
the
city
of
Chandler
John
started
his
employment
with
Team
Chandler
on
May
12
2003.
As
a
senior
engineer
in
what
was
then
known
as
the
Municipal
Utilities,
Department
or
mud
John
has
held
many
different
titles,
as
he
progressed
through
his
time
with
the
city,
including
utilities,
engineering
manager
and
Municipal
Utilities
director
prior
to
assuming
his
current
title
in
2017.
G
His
commitment
to
Innovation
and
his
personal
sense
of
responsibility
have
put
the
city
in
an
enviable
position
when
it
comes
to
water
issues,
as
well
as
facilitated
the
undertaking
of
numerous
complex
projects,
including
improving
the
city's
infrastructure,
multiple
times
to
support
expansions
and
Intel
the
new
reclaimed
water
interconnect
facility.
That's
under
construction
today
and
the
large
utilities
reconstruction
project
at
the
101
and
202
interchange.
In
addition
to
many
many
more
despite
his
achievements
at
work,
John
is
most
proud
of
his
family,
including
his
wife
Evelyn,
and
their
two
grown
sons.
G
John
is
a
great
Storyteller
and
adds
much
value
to
the
city
with
his
expertise,
knowledge
and
sense
of
humor
John's
colleagues
at
work
also
wanted
everyone
to
know
that
he
is
Chandler's.
Most
okayest
racquetball
player,
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
rivalry
going
on
there.
I've
picked
up
on
John.
Thank
you
for
the
passion,
friendliness
and
Ingenuity
you
bring
to
work
every
single
day.
We
are
so
fortunate
to
have
you
as
part
of
Team
Chandler,.
B
B
So
we've
had
several
Hamilton
High
School
students
visit
us
here
at
City
Hall
to
celebrate
a
lot
of
different
accomplishments.
We've
had
debate
teams
in
the
past,
we've
had
one
or
two
sports
teams-
maybe
that
have
crossed
our
our
days
here.
But
this
is
a
stellar
different
group
of
students.
This
group
of
students
standing
here
tonight,
won
three
Awards
in
the
2023
mayor's
economic
challenge.
B
They
competed
with
schools
across
the
East
Valley
and
Beyond,
and
they
took
first
place
in
personal
finance,
challenge
economics,
Challenge
and
critical
thinking,
Challenge,
and
to
win
these
Awards
students
must
show
the
Mastery
of
economic
Concepts,
earning
investing
savings
and
other
personal
financial
Concepts.
So
congratulations
could
you
all?
Do
you
want
to
say
something,
sir,
and
then
introduce
the
let
our
students
introduce
themselves
sure.
M
B
B
H
Thank
you
bear
on
behalf
of
the
men
and
women
of
the
Chandler
Police
Department
I'd,
like
to
thank
our
entire
Community
for
your
continued
support
and
for
honoring
and
remembering
the
nine
Chandler
officers
who
lost
their
lives
while
protecting
our
community,
but
this
month
is
also
an
opportunity
to
honor
all
the
men
and
women
who
continue
to
serve
I
just
want
to
thank
them
for
their
sacrifices
and
everything
they
do
to
help
keep
our
community
safe.
Thank
you.
B
B
M
M
So
just
to
recap,
briefly:
in
2020,
the
Chandler
city
council
adopted
will
start
preservation
or
events
and
the
audience
created,
four
classifications
of
historic
properties,
heritage
site
and
Conservation
District,
which
are
honorific.
There
are
no
rules
associated
with
them,
and
actually
we
had
our
first
Conservation
District
designation
last
year,
which
is
South,
Side
village
and
then
historic,
preservation,
District
overlay,
zoning
overlay
and
landmark,
which
do
have
some
preservation
rules
attached
to
them.
M
So
when
we
adopted
the
ordinance,
it
established
a
threshold
of
90
percent
of
contributing
Property
Owners
to
consent
to
form
a
historic
preservation
District.
We
thought
this
was
a
reasonable
Threshold
at
that
time
and
actually
more
liberal
than
other
municipalities.
Unfortunately,
it's
proved
very
difficult
for
some
of
the
groups.
We've
talked
to
to
reach
this
threshold,
so
our
proposal,
among
other
things
in
the
in
the
I
meant
proposed
amendments,
is
to
decrease
the
number
of
consenting
property
owners
for
preservation
districts
from
90
percent
to
60
percent.
M
We
thought
when
we
created
the
ordinance
that
we
could
do
General
design
guide
on
design
guidelines
for
each
preservation
District.
But
after
thinking
about
it,
it
seemed
to
make
a
lot
more
sense
to
create
one
set
of
consistent
guidelines
that
could
be
applied
to
all
districts.
So,
as
we
have
before
you
tonight,
these
guidelines
are
based
largely
on
Secretary
of
interior
preservation
standards
and
best
practices
from
several
other
municipalities
and
includes
some
of
our
own
Innovations.
M
We've
made
these
guidelines
approachable
for
home
and
business
owners,
so
they
are
written
in
plain
English,
not
code
language.
They
pertain
to
the
exterior
of
the
buildings.
Only
the
guidelines
focus
on
the
four
treatments
of
historic
properties,
preservation,
which
is
maintaining
historic
context.
What
is
there
restoration,
which
is
stripping
away
any
non-historic
items
from
historic
properties
and
storing
them
to
their
historic
appearance,
Rehabilitation,
which
is
repairing
rehabbing
historic
elements
and
reconstruction,
which
could
involve
the
Reconstruction
of
a
historic
prop
rate
has
been
damaged
by
fire
or
flood
or
by
accident.
M
The
goals
of
the
guidelines
are
really
to
maintain
the
Integrity
of
historic
properties
and
to
provide
both
staff
and
Property
Owners
on
General
guidelines
on
the
general
maintenance
of
historic
properties
and
how
to
conduct
repairs,
Rehabilitation
replacement
of
historic
components.
It's
not
a
how-to
manual.
It's
just
providing
some
general
guidance
on
how
people
can
keep
maintain
these
historic
and
unique
properties.
D
D
D
Okay,
good
because
I
know
they
have
a
problem
with
some
of
the
vacant
lands
too,
because
they
have
to
that
person
may
be
out
of
out
of
state
or
out
of
town.
So
it's
a
good.
This
is
a
good
good
compromise.
I
think
so.
Real
quick
I
know
I
brought
this
up
here
earlier,
but
there
was
something
here
about
application
to
become
a
certified
local
government
recognizing
the
State
of
Arizona.
What
does
that
mean.
M
Yeah
certified
local
government
is
run
by
the
state,
historic
preservation
officer,
and
it
also
as
an
auspices.
It
comes
from
the
National
Park
Service
and
the
main
thing
what
it
does
for
the
city
is.
It
opens
the
city
up
to
apply
for
preservation,
grants,
okay,
that
could
be
used
for
preservation
projects,
so.
M
B
You
thank
you
mayor
then,
when
I
looked
at
this,
my
I
I
just
had
some
questions
that
were
answered
regarding
to
safeguard.
If
the
overlay,
a
homeowner
was
not
interested
in
in
doing
this,
for
whatever
the
reasons
and
it
seems
to
be
adequate
protections
as
well
as
a
even
a
pathway
through
console
that,
if
future
owners
who
the
house
has
been
declared
of
historic
interest
or
preservation
that
they
at
least
have
a
pathway
to
Pursuit.
If
for
the
reasons
that
they
don't
want
to
stay
in
the
program,
so
that
answered
my
questions.
N
N
N
Then
we
still
respect
their
property
rights,
and
so
I
was
satisfactorily
advised
from
our
city
manager
and
appreciate
the
work
you've
done
on
this
I
think
this
is
a
win-win
for
the
neighbors
that
that
want
to
be
a
part
of
this
for
the
neighborhoods
that
want
to
be
a
part
of
this
and
for
those
that
are
not
as
interested
they
can
opt
out.
So
thank
you
very.
B
F
To
Mary
the
council,
the
the
doe
Energy
Efficiency
conservation
block,
grant
programs
designed
to
assist
States
local
governments
and
tribes
and
implementing
strategies
to
reduce
energy
use,
to
reduce
fossil
fuel
emissions
and
to
improve
Energy
Efficiency
to
Simply.
To
simplify
and
streamline
the
grant
process.
The
doe
is
offering
a
voucher
process
in
lieu
of
a
direct
Grant
process.
F
Entities
that
opt
into
a
voucher
are
not
required
to
apply
for
or
administer
a
direct
Federal
Grant
and
to
see
choosing
vouchers
submit
a
separate
application
using
a
streamlined
process
with
reduced
documentation,
monitoring
and
Reporting
requirements
compared
to
applying
for
administering
a
Federal
Grant
eecbg
vouchers
can
be
used
for
equipment,
purchase,
installation
rebates
and
be
available
to
reimburse
entities
for
the
purchase
of
energy
ability.
Equipment,
equipment
eligible
for
rebate
span
a
wide
range
of
technologies
that
are
deployed
for
lower,
deploy
to
lower
fossil
fuel
use
or
increase
energy
efficiency.
F
A
Thank
you.
The
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
ask
our
city
manager
I
know
that
it
was
part
of
our
idea
to
hire
someone
just
as
he
needed
to
get
us
Grant
how's.
That
working
I
mean
this
is
the
questions
that
I
had
asked.
Is
this
really
working
for
us
then,
when
this
came
to
my
desk,
I
was
like
wow.
It
seems
like
it's
working
for
us
in
that
way.
Yeah.
G
Mr
Mayor
cous
Morales.
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
a
couple
of
years
ago.
We
did
convert
a
position
to
a
grants
administrator
for
the
city
and
that
goal
of
that
position
is
to
serve
All
City
departments.
They
work
out
on
Management
Services,
but
have
been
able
to
connect
with
all
departments
to
help
meet
their
Grant
needs.
We
knew
with
a
lot
of
these
spending
at
the
federal
level.
There
would
be
more
opportunities
than
there
had
been
previously
to
especially
to
attract
Federal
grant
monies,
and
so
that's
really
been.
G
A
F
A
Efficiencies
really
appreciate
that
great
job.
Thank
you
to
staff
and
thank
you
to
our
grant
router
for
bringing
this
forward.
This
is
a
pretty
good
summer
month.
A
283,
790,
000
I
know,
as
mayor
always
said,
let's
go
for
those
big
numbers,
and
so
we
are
seeing
them
coming
in
I
hope
that
the
next
one
will
be
in
the
millions
so
appreciate
you
guys.
Thank
you.
D
K
Martinez,
thank
you
just
a
quick
question.
I
know
we
have
the
projects
in
line
is
stuffer
here
at
City
Hall
and
the
challenge
Center
for
the
Arts.
Do
we
have
if
there's
any
funding
left
over
after
those
projects?
Do
we
have
any
other
priority
projects
that
are
in
line
and
also
is
there
a
time
frame
that
the
funds
need
to
be
used
for
this
grant.
F
Through
the
mayor,
councilman
you've
seen
this.
Yes,
we
have
many
other
projects
through
the
through
the
building
condition
assessment
that
we,
we
will
have
no
issues,
spending
spending
the
money
at
all
the
first
year
assessment.
There
was
a
I
believe,
a
28
million
dollar
first
first
year,
need
that,
were
we
continue
to
work
through
and
allocate
and
prioritize.
F
B
B
These
are
our
priorities
and
to
me
it
it
gave
a
a
plan,
a
document,
a
vision
to
our
city
manager
to
fulfill,
but
it
also
I
had
a
second
goal,
which
was
to
keep
us
focused
as
well,
so
that
we
could
point
to
a
time
in
which
we
said
this
is
what
we
all
agreed
on
and-
and
we
kept
to
a
similar
structure,
though
the
third
time
into
this
I
I.
Think
each
time
we've
done
this.
It
reflects
the
the
passions
and
the
newness
of
council
members.
So
it
is.
B
L
As
you
said
mayor,
this
is
the
third
time
that
you'll
be
considering
the
adoption
of
a
strategic
framework.
2019
was
the
first
time
that
Council
adopted
a
strategic
framework
outlining
Focus
areas
that
you
wanted
staff
to
really
focus
on
for
a
two-year
period.
Council
had
a
retreat,
February,
1st
and
2nd.
You
had
extensive
conversations
about
various
updates
that
you
desired
to
make
for
this
strategic
framework
document
and
then
in
March
we
came
back
and
had
a
extensive
conversation
about
those
proposed
updates.
L
Council
reviewed
all
of
that
material,
resulting
in
the
booklet
that
you
have
before
you
tonight
for
consideration.
So
I'll
just
go
through
and
hit
a
few
highlights
as
we
navigate
through
this
first
off
one
of
the
things
that,
in
the
work
session
conversation,
we
had
conversations
about
wanting
to
make
sure
that
Innovation
was
a
thread
that
followed
through
every
element
of
the
six
Focus
areas.
You
can
see
those
on
the
screen,
our
vision,
our
brand,
our
Innovative
focus
and
then
the
six
Focus
areas
that
I'll
go
into
detail.
So.
L
L
We
highlighted
the
companies
that
have
established
headquarters
in
Chandler
we've
also
you'll,
see
if
you
can
see
this
image.
That's
popped
up.
Discussion
about
our
transition
from
an
agricultural
Community
to
a
technology
focused
Community
you'll,
see
that
in
imagery
during
the
state
of
the
city
address,
we
had
an
extensive
video
that
highlighted
that
this
booklet
will
have
a
QR
code
so
that
people
can
go
directly
to
it
and
watch
it
if
they
haven't
seen
it.
The
web
version,
obviously
they
could
watch
it
right
there
on
the
website.
L
And
then
going
into
each
of
the
focus
areas
again.
Community
safety
is
our
is
our
first
Focus
area
that
will
delve
into
a
lot
of
different
issues
in
terms
of
everything,
from
police
and
fire
to
Partnerships,
with
Behavioral
Health
and
homelessness
to
cyber
security.
A
lot
of
different
things
to
the
safety
of
our
infrastructure.
L
Our
first
general
plan
in
1970
creating
a
unique
policy
of
a
neighborhood
park
in
each
square
mile
of
residential
development.
So
you'll
see
some
some
references
to
some
of
our
Chandler
first.
Here
neighborhoods
is
going
to
focus
on
a
lot
of
the
different
programs
and
services
related
to
neighborhood.
Revitalization
neighborhood
Outreach
programs
continue
to
make
sure
that
we
preserve
the
quality
of
our
neighborhoods
quality
of
life.
L
There's
a
lot
of
different
elements
that
fall
into
quite
a
lot
quality
of
life,
but
everything
from
our
parks
and
Open
Spaces,
Recreation
programs,
entertainment
events,
volunteerism
and,
of
course,
our
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
program
and
then
finally,
sustainability
and
technology
is
our
last
Focus
area.
This
has
a
multitude
of
topics:
everything
from
water
and
infrastructure,
to
urban
forestry,
to
emerging
energy
and
Technology
to
investing
in
people
and
services
and
technology
that
provide
all
the
various
services
that
support
our
community
and
then
looking
again
at
just
like.
L
B
Thank
you
and
Council
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
input
on
this,
and
this
is
this
is
if,
if
there's
some
suggestions,
photos
or
other
things,
they
can
get
that
back
to
you
or
city
manager
off
time
here
tonight,
but
I
love
the
fact
that
every
time
we
do
this,
it
takes
a
little
different.
Look.
So
I'm
I've
got
a
binder
of
strategic
Frameworks,
so
I'm
excited
about
that.
L
L
D
Job
Mary,
thanks
for
your
leadership
on
that,
it's
a
great
idea,
we're
a
good
tradition.
We
should
be
starting
as
we
go
forward
even
in
the
future,
so
Matt
the
a
lot
of
work.
We
appreciate
that.
So
when
do
we
get
a
look
at
what
the
staff's
recommendations
are,
or
is
that
really
up
online,
or
is
that
a
time
frame
to
look
at
that
in.
G
D
Great
I
mean
that's
where
the
I
don't
know:
rubber
meets
the
road,
that's
where
the
actual
the
activities
occur,
and
then
the
timelines
obviously
to
follow
that
and
real
quick
I
like
the
how
you
structured
this
into
our
pre,
our
new
budget
there's
some
elements
in
there,
so
we
we
alluded
to
earlier
councilmember
Lewis
earlier.
So
that's
great.
D
N
Councilmember
Stewart.
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
Matt,
that's
great
great
presentation,
but
I
I.
You
know
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
most
incredible
things
we
do
throughout
the
year
on
Console
every
two
years,
so
I
sat
through
my
third
one
this
year
and
I
was
really
impressed
by
what
our
newer
council
members
brought
to
the
to
the
table.
I
think
the
biggest
one
was
pulling
out
the
public
safety
part
of
this
and
adding
it
as
a
sixth
pillar.
Up
to
what
we
do.
N
We
have
that
folded
in
to
another
pillar,
but
I
think
one
of
the
core
responsibilities
of
what
we
do
here
on
this
Dice
and
what
the
community
does
is
provide
Public
Safety,
none
of
the
other
nice
things
happen
if
we're
not
safe,
and
that
includes
being
one
of
the
safest
cities
in
America.
Our
call
times
for
our
fire
department
are
some
of
the
lowest
that
I
know
of,
but,
moreover,
expanding
that
into
homelessness
and
then
now
into
mental
health.
N
Is
a
big
lift
but
I'm
really
glad
that
we
did
that,
and
you
know
I
just
want
to
give
credit
to
the
team
and
I
think
what
I
want
the
public
to
know.
Is
that
through
these
Vision
workshops,
if
you
will
our
CEO
our
you
know,
Josh
or
city
manager
told
us
that
this
is
when
staff
gets
excited
about
putting
these
things
into
motion,
but
none
of
this
happens
without
without
the
input
from
the
public.
N
So
these
are
the
things
that
the
community
told
us
that
are
important
to
them,
and
so
these
are
the
things
we
brought
back
into
this
workshop,
and
these
are
the
things
that
are
going
to
into
action.
So
I
have
to
commend
your
staff
for
picking
up
all
the
different
voices,
because
there's
a
lot
going
on
up
here
on
in
that
in
that
room
and
then
implementing
into
this
document-
and
you
know
at
first
glance
this
is
exactly
what
we
talked
about
so
I'm
grateful.
So
thanks
very
much
thanks
mayor.
B
And
I
know
Council,
you
all
had
some
input,
basically
getting
us
on
our
meetings
and
I
believe
this
fall.
We're
going
to
see
if
we
can
carve
out
some
times
for
a
couple.
Little
mini
retreats
to
maybe
some
micro
retreats
to
tackle
some
topics
that
won't
be
two
days
like
this,
but
certainly
some
hours
and
which
will
will
get
your
input
and
direction
from
as
well.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
I
know
we
talk
about
putting
it
when
it's
completed
on
the
website
and
things
like
that,
but
the
most
important
thing
when
we
talk
about
the
community,
a
lot
of
people
will
want
to
have
this
index,
and
where
can
we
get
in
I
know
the
last
two
that
we
did
when
I
was
here?
Oh
the
first
one
we
did
when
I
was
here.
We
had
copies
where,
as
Council,
we
could
take
them
place
them
different
places.
I
think
this
should
be
in
every
doctor's
office.
A
If
we
have
people
are
sitting
down
and
grabbing
them,
they
should
be
everywhere
because
this
information
that
they
know
this
is
the
guidelines.
And
if
people
know
this
is
the
guideline,
just
like
the
Strategic
plan
for
the
city
itself,
this
will
allow
them
to
ask
us
the
specific
questions
that
they
have
and
to
see.
If
we
are
staying
within
the
line
that
we
upset
to
ourselves.
So
I
would
love
to
make
sure
that
we
put
these
in
places
where
people
will
have
access
to
them.
L
Mayor
councilor
Ellis,
so
once
Council
has
adopted
so
you've
got
A
draft
copy
before
you
tonight,
once
console
has
adopted,
will
be
one
on
a
digital
standpoint.
They'll
be
able
to
download
this
from
the
website,
but
we
also
will
print
copies
and
we'll
make
sure
that
Council
has
a
adequate
Supply
so
that
there
are
places
that
you
want
to
distribute
them,
but
will
also
work
to
make
them
available
here
at
City,
Hall
and
other
locations
at
our
city
facilities.
But
we'll
wait
till
you
adopt
it
and
then
we'll
do
our
our
printing
give.
B
K
K
But
Matt
Kudos
on
I
really
do
like
the
Chandler
first
on.
There
really
brings
us
back
to
our
roots
and
our
history
of
Chandler.
So
thanks
for
incorporating
that
into
the
packet
I
do
just
want
to
comment
and
say
the
process
of
collaborating
as
a
council
on
this
document
was
a
great
experience
with
you
guys
all,
especially
as
a
new
member
I
feel
like
we
reinforce
our
commitment
to
our
true
values
and
the
foundation
of
the
Chandler
experience.
K
J
J
But
if
you
go
back
and
look
at
the
evolving
of
it
and
how
Chandler
and
the
ideals
have
changed
over
time,
you
really
do
get
an
opportunity
to
see
that
and
I'm
wearing
green,
because
it's
mental
health,
awareness
and
I
think
that
this
document
also
shares
that
idea
that
we're
Better
Community
when
we
work
together
when
we
understand
each
other
needs.
So
this
this
month,
I'm
going
to
be
trying
to
rock
as
much
as
green
as
I,
possibly
can
but
again
staff.
Thank
you
so
much
and
and
mayor.
J
O
I
I
just
wanted
to
Echo
the
congratulations.
There
were
a
lot
of
voices
coming
across
during
that
meeting,
and
what
was
really
amazing
to
me
is
how
much
we
are
in
sync
on
so
many
things,
and
it
was
a
great
way
to
start
a
new
term
as
a
council
member.
So
one
I
really
appreciate
the
sort
of
welcoming
sharing
of
opinions
and
disagreements.
O
L
B
N
E
Thank
you,
mayor,
councilmember
Stewart.
The
item
this
evening
is
for
the
sale
of
the
new
new
agua
I'm,
sorry
New,
River,
Iowa,
River
storage
capacity.
We
have
we
own
a
portion
of
recharge
facility
on
the
west
side
of
town.
We've
had
that
facility.
We
purchased
into
that
facility
with
the
Salt
River
Project
in
about
2007..
E
Why
not
bring
that
water
home
and
actually
recharge
it
here
in
Chandler
under
Chandler?
So
that's
the
vision.
We
no
longer
have
a
use
for
this
23
capacity
over
at
the
na
USP
recharge
facility.
So
we
worked
for
over
a
year
with
our
West
Valley
Partners,
to
sell
about
18
percent
of
that
storage
facility
to
Avondale,
so
that
Avondale
can
do
can
do
their
recharge
with
SRP,
just
as
we
do,
but
they
can
do
it
in
a
geographically
correct
area
for
them.
So
it's
a
benefit
to
Avondale.
It's
a
benefit
to
Chandler.
E
We
will
gain
about
5.7
million
dollars
from
that
transaction.
That
5.7
million
dollars
will
go
to
our
cash
balance
in
the
Enterprise
funds
and
utility,
and
that
will
help
us
keep
our
rates
low
into
the
future
and
it'll
provide
a
good
source
for
water
in
our
aquifer
into
the
future,
really
a
win-win
for
the
city
and
just
a
a
great
project
moving
forward
and
to
be
able
to
work
with
our
West
Valley
partners
and
kind
of
spread.
E
N
John
there's
nothing.
We
love
more
than
boring
water
stories
that
that
I
mean
we
have
more
water.
So
thank
you
for
for
the
presentation,
but
but
I
think.
Moreover,
thank
you
for
having
the
foresight
to
kind
of
look
into
this
and
make
this
happen
because
one
the
5.7
million
dollars,
while
it's
a
rounding
error
and
overall
Enterprise
fund,
when
we
spend
a
lot
of
money
on
infrastructure
on
water,
it
still
helps
keep
water
rates,
low
and
I.
N
Think
after
some
recent
numbers
that
I've
seen,
we
have
the
lowest
water
rate,
but
I
think,
given
everything
that's
been
going
on
recently,
just
knowing
that
we
have
our
water
shored
up
right.
This
is
just
another
layer
of
I
guess
overlap
or
of
investment
that
lets
our
community
know
that
we
have
water
and
we
will
have
it
for
a
long
time,
regardless
of
some.
Some
changes
that
are
going
on,
maybe
at
the
Lake
Mead
Lake
Powell
yeah,
is
that
the
case
yeah.
E
It's
a
it's
a
good,
it's
a
good
protection
for
us.
We
have
obviously
the
well
field
here
in
China
that
we've
maintained
for
all
these
years,
and
so
not
only
do
we
have
the
the
straws
to
extract
the
water,
but
we'll
be
able
to
make
sure
through
this
process
that
we'll
have
the
water
beneath
Chandler
Forest
syndrome,.
N
B
D
D
E
Through
the
mayor,
councilmember
Orlando,
all
we
are
selling
is
the
the
facility
that
is
used
to
recharge
the
water
into
the
aquifer.
That's
correct
that
that's
all
we're
selling
is
the
facility
we
purchased,
along
with
other
Valley
Cities
right
along
with
SRP.
We
purchased
this
facility
SRP
built
it,
and
we've
participated
in
that
facility
for
20
years.
We
have
an
obligation
as
an
SRP
member
land
to
recharge
surface
water
within
the
same
month
that
we
pump
the
groundwater
so
to
to
meet
that
obligation.
E
We
have
to
have
those
recharge
facilities
which
we
belong
to
the
nausp
facility,
which
we
purchased
many
years
ago.
We
also
have
a
share
or
shares
in
the
Granite
Reef
underground
storage
project,
which
is
more
toward
well
the
Red
Mountain,
where
the
salt
and
birdie
meet.
So
we
have
the
ability
to
recharge
on
that
monthly
basis
and
all
we're
doing
with
this
is
through
our
interconnect
facility
project
we
are
bringing.
We
are,
creating
an
ability
now
to
rather
than
storing
that
water
or
recharging
that
water
in
other
places,
to
bring
it
home.
E
D
E
E
We
can
extract
from
the
ground
here
in
Chandler
using
our
wells,
so
it
may
be
recharged
in
Tonopah
the
long-term
storage
credits
which
I
think
you're
referring
to
right,
those
May
be
injected
in
Tonopah
or
other
places
in
in
the
in
the
county,
but
we
can
always
recover
them
here
with
our
own
Wells.
Okay,
so.
D
E
B
N
N
To
least
we've
talked
about
that
a
million
times
Don,
but
when
I
see
a
250,
000
price
tag,
you
know
I'm
just
generally
I
it
raises
my
eyebrow
and
so
and
and
I
want
to
get
the
most
out
of
our
vehicle.
So
both
these
vehicles
are
15
years
old.
So
I
got
my
answers
there,
but
I
am
really
dying
to
know.
Are
we
working
on
this
sort
of
Fleet
report
is
that
is
that
in
tracking
anywhere.
G
Yeah
Mr
Mayor
councilmer
sewer.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
So,
as
you
may
remember,
from
that
2019
subcommittee
that
was
actually
held,
there
were
some
recommendations
and
some
information
provided
to
you.
One
of
those
was
purchasing
Fleet
management
software,
and
so
that
actually
has
recently
been
installed.
There's
still
some
data,
manipulation
and
cleanup.
