Well
good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
the
city
council
chambers
tonight
we
have
three
separate
meetings.
So
first
we're
going
to
move
up
the
regular
meeting
of
which
we
will
be
voting
on
the
assessed
value,
the
property
evaluation.
Then
we
will
go
to
a
public
housing
authority
Council
and
then
our
regular
study
session,
of
which
most
of
you
are
probably
here
for
that.
So
we're
saving
the
best
for
last
today,
and
with
that,
let
me
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
clerk.
Please
take
the
role.
E
E
D
Well,
Council,
it's
taken
us
a
while
to
get
here.
We've
been
to
those
in
our
audience.
We've
started
working
on
this
budget
after
we
passed
a
budget
last
year,
so
it
really
is
a
year-long
process
and
we're
at
the
culmination
of
that
with
first
and
second
votes
this
particular
week
we
have
one
agenda
item
which
is
on
action,
which
is
passing
the
ordinance
50
59.

What
would
you
like

G
Member
Stewart
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
ordinance
number
5059
living
the
levying
upon
the
assessed
valuation
of
the
property
within
the
city
of
Chandler
Arizona,
subject
to
taxation.
A
certain
sum
upon
each
one
hundred
dollars
assessed
valuation
sufficient
to
raise
the
amount
estimated
to
be
required
in
the
annual

for
the
fiscal

ending

30th

So.

We
believe
that
Civic
engagement
is
so
important
in
our
community
and
and
it
really
sets
the
stage
for
the
future
of
our
community
by
getting
people
informed,
engaged
and
involved.
That's
why
tonight
we're
celebrating
the
dedicated
participants
in
this
year's
Civic
program.
Civic
is
an
interactive
13
session
program
providing
Chandler
residents
with
the
behind
the
scenes.
Look
at
city
services.
These
participants
took
time
out
of
their
busy
lives
to
meet
with
city
leaders,
tour
facilities
and
participate
in
interactive
sessions
to
learn
how
the
city
runs,
we're
so
grateful
for
each
and
every
one
of
you.
D
M
M
I
appreciate
all
the
time
that
you
all
have
put
into
the
program.
I
know
six
months
is
a
significant
commitment
to
put
into
learning
about
your
local
government,
but
I
appreciate
it
and
the
time
that
you've
put
into
Civic
engagement
and
learning
about
each
of
our
departments.
You
all
have
been
extremely
dedicated.
So
thank
you
all
very
good.
H
D
All
right
next
I
won't
even
try
to
compare
the
excitement
and
energy
of
this
with
that,
because
they're
both
just
super
exciting
we'd
like
to
recognize
the
2023
Miss
Juneteenth
pageant
winners,
so
Rodney
love
with
South
Taylor
South
Park.
Please
come
on
out
Partnerships
like
this,
that
we
share
with
South
Chandler
self-help
are
really
important
to
our
community,
and
this
is,
in
my
opinion,
has
been
a
legacy
group
that
has
been
serving
our
city
and
a
local
community
with
so
many
years
and
decades.
D
So
it's
been
really
exciting
to
see
the
the
last
several
years
with
this
organization
bringing
forth
the
Miss
Juneteenth
pageant,
providing
opportunities
to
our
youth
in
the
community
and
surrounding
communities.
So
tonight
we
have
both
this
year's
and
last
year's
Miss
Juneteenth
and
to
here
to
share
some
words
with
us
and
Mr
love.
D
O
A
A
Good
evening,
everyone
evening,
everyone
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor,
the
council
members,
especially
councilwoman
Ellis
and
councilmember
Harris,
for
the
support
they've
given
South
Channel
itself
up
over
the
years,
especially
with
the
June
team
scholarship
program
that
we're
running
right
now
without
their
help.
I,
don't
think
that
we
would
have
made
this
happen
so,
first
of
all,
can
we
give
them
all.
A
P
P
My
bonus
sister
already,
and
we
haven't
even
talked
that
much
even
this
is
our
second
event
with
each
other
and
you
are
holding
that
Crown,
which
style
and
grace
just
as
I
did
so
I'm
very,
very
happy
and
I'm
very
grateful
to
have
you
as
a
little
bonus
sister.
You
can
always
text
and
call
me
I'm,
always
a
call
away,
even
though
I'm
not
in
this
state,
because
you
know.
N
Thank
you
good
evening.
Everyone
thank
you,
Jay,
Ricky
rock,
that
my
name
is
Sasha
reveron
I
am
15
years
old
and
a
sophomore,
a
rising
sophomore
who's
will
be
attending
basis.
Mesa
I,
don't
I
can't
follow
that
up,
but
I
I'm
here
today
to
speak
about
my
platform.
Thank
you
for
having
me
by
the
way,
I'm
excited
for
my
reign,
and
these
are
some
very
big
shoes
to
film.
N
My
platform
is
amplify
her
voice.
It
is
essentially
my
plan
to
increase
Civic
engagement
in
the
political
process
for
young
women
of
color,
specifically
black
women,
with
the
help
of
South
China
self-help,
and
hopefully
this
Council
I
would
like
to
make
this
happen
by
reaching
out
to
women
in
political
spaces
across
Arizona
and
asking
them
to
attend
a
panel
where
members
of
the
community
can
come
and
watch
this
and
hear
about
their
stories
of
being
women
in
politics,
specifically
women
of
color
and
politics,
and
their
journey
through
it
and
any
advice
or
recommendations.
N
They
have
for
those,
so
that
in
turn
they
can
help.
And
then
this
will
create,
hopefully
create
relationships
between
me
and
them,
and
we
can
create
a
program
where
we
can
reach
out
to
those
in
community
in
the
community
and
create
a
program
that
serves
overlooked,
youth
in
Chandler
and
across
the
state
and
encourage
them
to
get
involved
in
our
government
and
encourage
them
to
get
involved
in
the
political
process.
Thank
you,
foreign.
A
Q
D
D
Next
to
you
all
right,
whereas
access
to
parks,
open
spaces
and
Recreation
is
a
fundamental
human
need
that
helps
Foster
personal
Health
social
inclusion
and
a
stronger
community
in
Chandler.
We
are
fortunate
to
host
a
vast
system
of
special
places
that
provide
countless
recreational
opportunities
for
residents
and
visitors
alike
and
whereas
engaging
in
recreational
activities
can
improve
one's
quality
of
life
and
overall
well-being
in
Chandler.
D
We
value
the
importance
of
social
equity
and
ensure
all
people
have
access
to
the
many
benefits
of
parks,
open
spaces
and
recreational
activities
and
whereas
Chandler
features
various
parks,
open
spaces
and
trails
for
both
active
and
passive
outdoor
activities.
These
assets
provide
recreational
benefits
and
could
contribute
to
the
city's
stewardship
of
our
natural
environment
and
conservation
efforts,
and
whereas
parks
and
Rex
month
celebrates
Chandler's,
spectacular
parks
and
recreational
services,
along
with
the
many
volunteers
and
professionals
working
to
raise
awareness
for
this
role
they
play
in
individual
community
and
environmental
well-being.
L
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Melanie
Dykstra
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
parks
board
right
now
and
I
know.
You
might
think
that
July
is
an
odd
time
for
it
to
be
get
out
and
enjoy
your
Parks,
but
it's
a
national
program,
but
here
in
Arizona
it
is
a
wonderful
opportunity,
because
city
of
Chandler
offers
so
many
different
opportunities
for
us.
You
can
get
out
into
the
swimming
pools.
L
Take
water
aerobics,
which
I'm
missing
tonight
to
be
here,
but
I
will
be
back
at
class
tomorrow,
but
we
have
awesome
rec
centers,
you
have
the
nature,
centers
classes
for
kids
and
all
ages
for
everything
we
I
know
have
we
have
ping
pong
enthusiasts
here,
one
of
our
Parks
Road
members
out
there
she's
a
pickleball
Enthusiast.
So
we
represent
everyone
and
encourage
everyone
to
continue
to
enjoy
everything.
I,
don't
think.
L
Probably
anyone
here
has
not
been
touched
by
Parks
and
Recreation,
whether
you
know
it
or
not,
if
you're
ever
on
the
trails
or
just
enjoying
the
outdoors,
that
is
part
of
this
system,
and
so
we
encourage
you
to
make
sure
that
you
continue
to
take
your
family
out
and
enjoy
all
that
Chandler
has
to
offer.
Thanks,
take
a
photo.
D
R
R
Derek
I'll
I'll
read
something
about
you
and
then
I'll
meet
you
in
the
middle
because
we
do
have
a
gift
for
you
as
well,
but
mayor
and
Council
I'm
honored
tonight
to
recognize
my
colleague
and
friend
Derek
horn
on
his
retirement
from
the
city
of
Chandler
effective
early
next
month.
This
week
represents
Derek's
last
Council
meetings
after
five
years
of
service
as
Chandler's
development
services,
director
Derek
had
an
interesting
path
to
joining
team
Chandler
trained
as
both
an
architect
and
an
engineer.
R
He
worked
in
the
private
sector
for
Maricopa
County
and
ultimately
for
the
City
of
Phoenix,
rising
over
a
distinguished
career
to
serve
as
its
director
of
planning
and
development
services
upon
his
first
retirement
and
writing
his
first
book
about
Central
Phoenix's
architectural
history.
He
took
a
temporary
assignment
as
Chandler's
director
of
transportation
and
development,
overseeing
building
safety,
civil
engineering
capital
projects
and
Street
Maintenance
I
was
actually
hired
as
Derek's
supervisor.
During
this
time
and
I'll
never
forget
our
first
meeting
for
three
reasons.
R
R
Of
course,
everyone
knows
Derek
for
his
passion
for
history
and
he
deserves
credit
as
the
champion
for
Chandler's
historic
preservation
program.
Under
his
leadership,
historic
overlays
were
added
to
Chandler's,
first
neighborhood
and
to
Landmark
sites
and
later
tonight.
In
fact,
we'll
discuss,
making
Chandler
a
certified
local
government
with
the
state
historic
preservation
office.
These
accomplishments
simply
would
not
have
been
possible
without
Derek's
tenacity
and
his
vision
I'd
like
to
argue,
though,
that
Derek's
real
Legacy
in
Chandler
is
the
people
he's
mentored,
promoted
and
supported
Derek.
R
Your
team
and
your
colleagues
have
witnessed
your
professionalism,
patience,
humility
and
sense
of
Duty
to
serve
the
public,
and
we
are
all
better
for
it.
Personally.
I
will
miss
our
talks
about
mid-century,
modern
architecture,
Star
Trek,
classic
cars,
world
history,
the
Twilight
Zone
and
so
many
other
things
as
Derek
departs
to
write
his
third
book
this
one
about
his
hero,
Winston
Churchill
and
spend
more
time
with
his
family
and
his
Hobbies.
We
wish
him
all
the
best
in
his
retirement.
Thank
you,
Derek
for
your
outstanding
service
to
the
city
and
its
residents,
foreign.
D
Next
on
our
agenda
tonight
is
looking
at
our
consent
agenda,
but
Derek
I
think
I
speak
for
all
of
councilman,
saying
that
you
have
been
a
consummate
professional.
You
have
given
us
great
advice.
You
really
we've
been
so
honored
to
have
you
as
part
of
Team,
Chandler
and
I
recently
am
was
accepted
into
a
mayor's
Institute
of
Creative
Design
and
I'd.
Pretty
much
already
picked
a
project
and
by
the
sheer
force
of
presentation.
Derek
had
convinced
me
not
twisted
my
arm,
but
just
by
by
sheer
presentation.
D
D
All
right
counsel,
with
your
permission,
I'm
going
to
go
a
little
out
of
order
for
these,
just
because
councilmember
Ellis
called
in
one
and
the
the
person
from
Dignity
Health
has
to
be
in
Queen
Creek
for
another
presentation
almost
immediately
afterwards.
So
let's
go
with
item
number
25
and
you
wanted
a
presentation
and
then
questions
council,
member,
all
right,
Julie,
Alvarado,.
K
J
Think
a
summary
is
I
will
be
worth
it.
The
whole
idea
behind
this
was
to
for
you
to
come
and
talk
about
what
is
this
represent,
and
why
is
it
that
we
passed
in
this
grant
through
Chandler?
Not
only
because
it's
going
to
benefit
our
Community,
but
also
what
is
it
going
to
do
for
the
school
of
medical
school
that
we
just
opened
here
now
in
Chandler
and
how
it's
going
to
prepare
doctors
for
the
future,
and
things
like
that,
if
you
may,
that
was
a
mouthful.
K
So
much
in
one
and
I
thank
all
of
you
and
I
know
in
particular
that
you
toured
with
me
as
we
opened
Tower
D
last
year,
so
I
appreciate
all
of
your
interest
in
Chandler
Regional,
Medical
Center
and
our
parent
company
is
Dignity
Health
and
then
we're
part
of
a
national
network.
That's
common
Spirit
health.
K
So,
let's
just
start
with
some
real
Basics
Chandler
Regional
Hospital
turned
into
Chandler
Regional
Medical
Center
I've
been
serving
this
area
for
60
years
and
for
those
of
you
that
may
or
may
not
know
it
started
with
residents
selling
any
I'm
going
to
date.
Myself
and
we'll
see
how
many
of
you
can
remember.
Trash
cans
used
to
be
metal
and
there
were
metal
trash
can
Lids.
K
If
anyone
remembers
that
you
can
probably
Google
it,
it's
probably
under
you
know,
antiques
now
and
they
sold
those
metal
trash
can
Lids
to
raise
the
money
to
be
in
their
hospital
and
they
began
their
Hospital
in
a
way
that
they
were
taking
care
of
the
workers
in
the
fields,
whether
that
was
the
Dairy
Farmers
or
you
know
the
farmer,
agricultural
farmers,
and
we
continue
that
today.
So
we're
here
not
only
to
be
an
excellent
Medical
Center,
but
we're
to
do
the
mission
and
the
Outreach
work
that's
needed
in
our
community,
so
bringing
us
current.
K
It's
been
tough
coming
out
of
the
pandemic
Healthcare
it's
you
can
Google
that
too
it
is
staff
shortages,
that's
real
they're,
great
retirement,
that's
real!
The
costs
are
prohibitive.
Supplies
are
hard
to
get
with
that
background.
We're
also-
and
we
don't
have
study
reasons
yet,
but
anecdotally
I
can
tell
you
that
Chandler
Regional
is
still
serving
numbers.
K
Currently,
as
you
can
imagine,
in
January
the
winter
visitors
come
in.
Those
are
our
high
numbers.
As
we
open
Tower
d
and
you
toured
with
me,
it
was
full
immediately.
Those
numbers
have
stayed
High.
Those
numbers
have
stayed
High
through
June,
don't
know
some
conjecture
is
people
that
waited
during
the
pandemic
are
now
doing
elective
procedures,
a
myriad
of
reasons,
but
the
numbers
are
high-
that
building
that
brand
new
towers
full.
K
K
You
know
there.
We
need
to
keep
doing
the
mission
work.
We
need
to
be
keep
doing
the
Outreach,
so
I
am
very
proud
to
represent
our
president
and
a
leadership
team
of
about
13
people.
That
said,
heck
we're
going
to
try
and
do
all
of
this
at
the
same
time,
because
our
city
needs
this
as
we
grow
faster
and
faster
and
faster.
You
still
still
need
excellent,
high
quality
health
care,
and
you
don't
want
to
hear
about
our
staff
shortages.
I
am
certain
right
and
you
don't
want
to
hear
about
our
trouble.
K
K
You
didn't
see
that
on
the
news
and
you
saw
New
York
and
a
few
other
things.
We
were
grateful
for
that.
We
had
a
lot
to
do
and
we
didn't
need
extra
attention,
but
think
about
that.
Let
that
sink
in
those
people
that
I
work
with
these
incredible
clinicians
and
doctors
served
the
most
covered
patients
right
here
in
Chandler
Arizona.
Don't
have
the
statistics
for
why
to
that
one
either.
Some
of
these
puzzles
will
remain
puzzles,
but
the
facts
remain
as
they
are.
K
So,
therefore,
that
new
Physicians
and
train
them
right.
It's
often
called
graduate
medical
education
or
Jimmy
for
short,
but
we're
training,
the
new
Physicians,
hopefully
the
highest
level
of
quality,
highest
level
of
human
kindness
and
with
a
whole
lot
of
thought
towards
cultural
sensitivity.
We
have
some
great
Partners
in
our
local
tribes
here
and
the
Nations
that
are
right
next
door
to
us
and
they
help
a
lot
with
some
really
incredible
cultural
competencies
and
we
could
go
into
many
many
other
partners,
who've
also
risen
to
the
occasion
and
come
into
Chandler
to
lend
their
support.
K
So
I
hope
you
can
see
that
bringing
in
Physicians
and
training
them
and
studies
show.
Almost
60
percent
of
them
will
stay
here
directly
to
your
question
about
Midwestern
University
and
the
other
universities.
Here,
we're
going
to
be
able
to
give
them
their
residencies,
they
won't
have
to
leave
and
the
other
residency
programs.
There
are
a
couple
here
in
the
valley
they're
full
our
partners
at
St
Joe's
they
partner
with
Creighton
they're
full,
so
with
a
shortage
of
250
Physicians
right
here
in
this
area.
K
This
seems
like
a
really
important
thing
to
do
for
our
community,
even
with
the
background
of
the
constraints
that
we're
operating
under.
Obviously,
philanthropy
pays
a
plays
a
big
part
in
that,
so
to
have
a
Simulation
Center,
the
top
of
the
top,
the
best
of
the
best.
You
know
I
think
about
my
teenage
son.
He
puts
on
his
virtual
reality
and
it's
a
whole
other
world
shouldn't
our
doctors
be
able
to
train
like
that.
K
The
technology
is
available,
but
as
a
Charity
Hospital,
giving
out
millions
in
charity
care
and
free
care,
we
have
to
turn
to
philanthropy.
So
this
is
directly
speaking
to
the
equipment
that
will
go
into
a
Simulation
Center
to
train
these
Physicians
and
then
another
little
important
fact
of
the
28
Physicians
that
just
arrived.
We
haven't
yet
reached
50
women,
but
really
proud
that
we've
reached
30
percent
women,
they're
Multicultural.
K
They
speak
many
languages
they're
actually
from
all
over
the
world,
although
a
heavy
little
dose
towards
some
local
Physicians,
who
just
graduated
they'll,
be
here
in
our
Residency
program,
trained
by
some
amazing
doctors
and
then
think
about
this.
For
a
moment,
we've
opened
the
Chandler
Care
Center,
the
Pediatric
Clinic.
K
Well,
that's
run
by
volunteer
doctors
and
they're
busy
you
following
me:
there's
28
new
baby
doctors
that
are
available
and
they're
dedicated
to
us
and
they're
here
and
they're
excited
and
they're
enthusiastic,
some
of
them
bilingual
they'll
be
out
in
the
Chandler
Care
Center.
So
that's
a
direct
benefit
to
the
new
residents.
Who've
just
arrived
I'm
going
down
my
head
with
your
questions,
I
think
you
answered
pretty.
D
D
D
S
Okay:
first,
if
the
mayor
would
indulgement
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city
council,
Mary
particular
for
the
nice
words
tonight,
appreciate
it,
it's
been
an
honor
serving
Chandler
and
I
appreciate
the
support
of
the
city
council
for
other
things.
We
brought
to
you
even
the
strange
ones
that
we
brought.
So
thank
you
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city
manager
for
your
wonderful
testimonial.
Very
much
appreciated
I'll
miss
our
discussions
too,
on
all
sorts
of
cultural
things
that
few
people
understand.
S
The
certified
local
government
program
is
a
state
program.
It
was
established
a
number
of
years
back
by
the
National
Historic
preservation
act
and
is
administered
by
the
state,
historic
preservation
office,
affectionately,
called
shippo,
a
CLG
can
receive
specialized
Assistance,
or
is
it
sort
preservation
programs?
This
advice
is
advisory.
S
S
S
Resolution
5567
last
year
authorized
staff
to
make
the
application
for
CLG
designation,
which
we
put
the
package
together,
discuss
it
with
the
shippo
staff
submitted
it.
They
accepted
it
and
now
we're
taking
the
next
and
last
step.
There
is
no
cost
to
the
city
other
than
Grant
matches,
which
is
voluntary.
The
city
HP
program
is
independent
from
the
state.
That
means
we
have
our
own
ordinance,
our
own
rules,
our
own
practices.
The
state
does
not
run
our
program,
we
do
and
the
city
can
withdraw.
It
can
no
longer
support
the
program.
G
Member
sir,
thank
you
mayor,
Derek,
thanks
for
the
presentation,
thanks
for
your
your
service
over
the
five
years,
you're,
the
only
director
over
that
area
that
I've
known
and
you've
done
a
tremendous
job.
You
know
so
much
so
that
I
know
this
CLG
that
that
we're
going
to
hopefully
Implement
here
the
the
Silk
Stocking
neighborhood,
was
something
that
was
kind
of
the
precipice
to
all
of
this
right,
I
mean
we
were
able
to
sort
of
designate
that
as
a
historic
neighborhood.
G
That
was
one
of
the
first
neighborhoods
in
Chandler,
as
we
then
would
be
called
the
suburbs
of
downtown
and
it's
walking
distance
from
here.
Do
you
see
other
areas
where
this
is
going
to
be
is
mostly
going
to
be
in
downtown,
or
do
you
see
this
in
any
part
of
the
city
that
has
some
some
historical
relevance
to
it
and
and
and
and
when
this
goes
into
place?
How
quickly
do
you
think
things
will
get
ramped
up
and
committees
and
all
those
things?
Okay,.
S
Well,
we're
already
working
on
what
the
CLG
would
require,
so
Silk
Stocking
did
initiate
our
whole
storage
preservation
program
and
they're
still
working
on
their
designation
they're
almost
there,
but
they
are
on
the
national
Ridge
service,
historic
places
too.
We
have
our
two
designations
that
are
almost
over
the
Finish
Line
I'm,
going
to
call
it
price
house
and
the
Goodyear
Canal.
There
are
other
areas
of
the
city,
though,
that
I
think
would
be
appropriate
like,
for
instance,
Pueblo
Alto.
S
We
also
call
High
town,
great
location
for
either
National
registered
nomination
or
our
designation,
or
even
both
South
Side
village,
which
we
just
designated
last
year.
I
think
there
are
areas
in
South
Side
that
would
be
eligible
for
preservation,
districts
and
also
it
could
be
eligible
for
a
national
register.
Nomination
too
there's
some
beautiful
mid-century
neighborhoods
north
of
Chandler
Boulevard,
what
we
call
North
Chandler
and
they
would
be
eligible
if
they're
interested
as
well.
G
D
D
O
Okay,
Marin
city
council
I,
would
like
to
make
some
opening
remarks
on
the
proposed
intergovernmental
agreement
with
Arizona
State
University.
The
city
council
has
established
a
vision
of
Chandler
being
a
place
for
entrepreneurship,
Innovation
and
Technology.
This
is
a
key
part
of
the
Strategic
framework
that
you
recently
adopted.
O
City
council
has
also
recognized
the
importance
of
establishing
Partnerships
with
higher
education,
which
staff
has
worked
to
do.
The
proposed
intergovernmental
agreement
seeks
to
further
City
council's
Vision
for
Chandler
by
providing
opportunities
for
local
entrepreneurship
through
a
strengthened
relationship
with
Arizona
State
University
asu's
plan
for
the
Chandler
Endeavor
program
is
community.
Oriented
ASU
is
looking
to
impact
more
local
entrepreneurs
and
residents
looking
to
engage
with
one
thousand
people
through
this
Chandler
Endeavor
ecosystem.
O
T
T
The
city
council
has
set
forth
a
vision
for
the
city
of
Chandler.
That
Innovation
is
so
woven
into
its
very
DNA
that
you
call
it
its
lifeblood.
So
it
should
be
no
surprise
because
the
connection
between
Innovation
and
Entrepreneurship
is
very
close.
It
is
how
many
individuals
take
Innovation
to
create
Better
Lives
for
themselves,
their
families
and
their
community.
So
it
should
be
no
surprise
that
the
city
of
Chandler
has
elected
so
many
entrepreneurs
to
its
city
council.
T
It's
no
surprise
that
this
model
doesn't
work
for
the
over
3
900,
small
businesses
that
exist
in
the
city
of
Chandler.
So
how
might
we
take
the
resources
and
abilities
of
the
number
one
University
for
innovation
in
the
country
and
combine
that
with
a
city
whose
very
lifeblood
is
innovation,
to
create
something
new,
an
entrepreneurial
ecosystem?
That
serves
everybody
to
help
them
individually
realize
their
own
entrepreneurial
dreams.
T
Our
solution
is
Chandler
endeavor
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
Chandler
Endeavor,
and
what
we're
proposing
tonight
is
that
moving
forward.
Look
at
that,
it's
close
there
we
go.
It
really
comes
down
to.
How
do
we
leverage
all
of
the
amazing
resources
that
come
from
being
part
of
ASU
you've
all
seen
the
Bevy
of
logos
that
go
into
it?
How
do
we
take
all
of
these
resources
and
make
them
accessible
for
everybody?
Well,
the
model
we
have
put
together
is
fairly
simple.
T
Then
we're
going
to
identify
a
cluster,
a
few
entrepreneurs
that
are
in
a
similar
space
in
their
development
in
similar
industry
and
continue
to
accelerate
their
growth
by
pairing
them,
with
one
of
the
many
mentors
across
the
Chandler
ecosystem
and
ASU
ecosystem
and
help
them
learn
from
each
other,
supporting
each
other
during
the
challenging
Journey.
That
is
entrepreneurship.
T
That's
the
model!
It
looks
a
little
bit
different
than
what's
already
out
there.
So
how
do
we
know
that
it's
going
to
work
well,
much
like
the
entrepreneurs
that
we
support?
We
have
actually
tested
this
model.
We
went
out
there
and
said:
will
this
work
in
Chandler
and
I'm
proud
to
say
what
we
have
found
is
that
it
absolutely
Works
in
Chandler.
T
For
the
last
three
months,
we
have
ran
a
series
called
Chandler,
Endeavor
Embark
over
three
sessions.
We
put
out
the
call
at
each
session
we
had
75,
plus
entrepreneurs
show
up
to
engage
with
each
other.
Not
only
did
they
engage
with
each
other,
they
engage
with
over
45
different
mentors
and
lit
and
Industry
resources
that
we
could
provide
here
in
Chandler.
T
In
addition,
we
had
30
different
applications
come
in
all
for
our
seed
funding,
Grant
of
three
thousand
dollars
of
non-dilutive
funding
that
went
to
a
graduate
of
Chandler
High
School,
who
went
on
to
ASU,
has
developed
his
Venture
and
is
now
growing
it
out
of
his
parents
bedroom
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
bring
these
resources,
and
so
how
do
we
know?
This
is
going
to
work
because
we
track
the
measurements
that
it
took
to
get
here.
I
want
to
share
with
you
a
couple
of
details
about
Chandler
Endeavor
Embark
series.
T
So,
as
I
mentioned
at
each
session,
we
had
a
growing
number
of
entrepreneurs.
No
big
deal
getting
85
people
to
an
entrepreneurial
event
in
June
in
Phoenix
is
a
really
big
deal
right.
So
there
was
a
huge
demand
for
it
out
in
the
community.
We
also
got
a
net
promoter
score
of
88
for
those
of
you
that
aren't
familiar
with
a
net
promoter
score.
It's
gallop's
way
of
measuring
quality
of
experience
and
customer
service.
T
The
industry
standard
for
a
good
net
promoter
score
in
education
is
60
percent
and
we
came
away
with
88
and
the
highest
survey
results
that
we've
actually
had
at
an
event
in
our
program.
So
that's
how
we
know
it's
going
to
work,
but
don't
take
my
word
for
it.
Here's
just
a
few
quotes
from
the
surveys
that
were
returned
from
the
participants
of
those
programs.
T
H
H
My
question
to
you,
it's
more
related
to
the
incubator
series.
Do
you
already
have
businesses
targeted
to
bring
in
that?
That's
been
a
bit
of
a
challenge,
I
believe
in
for
this
kind
of
thing
in
the
past
and
whether
you
can
announce
some
tonight
or
not.
If
you
have
some
parameters
on
what
types
of
businesses
they
are,
how
many
will
get
and
then
I'd
also
be
interested
here?
What
your
expectation
of
those
businesses
would
be
in
terms
of
they
will
not
just
be
staying
there
forever
sure.
T
Excellent
questions,
thank
you
councilwoman,
so
a
couple
of
them
so
one
we
use
this
as
our
beta
test
across
the
board
right.
So
we
reached
out
to
lots
of
ventures
in
Chandler
and
said:
can
we
engage
with
them
because
we
know
that
that's
been
a
challenge
in
the
past
and
as
we
saw,
we
had
many
of
them
come
and
engage
in
the
Embark
series
itself.
It
was
also
a
test
to
see.
Can
we
get
some
of
the
Legacy
entrepreneurs?
T
People
who've
had
amazing
Ventures
that
have
grown
up
here
in
Chandler,
come
in
and
engage
as
mentors
and
share
their
stories,
and
so
we
did
look
at
that
and
track
who
showed
up
and
if
we
reached
out
to
them,
would
they
come
and
the
overwhelming
answer
is
yes,
they
did
and
we
are
still
having
an
open
call
for
innovators.
So,
in
short,
everyone
who
applies
is
now
part
of
the
incubator.
T
We
have
it
designed,
so
everyone
has
access
to
the
resources
and
then
once
we
see,
if
there's
a
group
of
people,
especially
around
six
to
ten
ventures
in
a
similar
stage
in
similar
industry
and
of
course,
we've
done
our
due
diligence.
We
have
a
fair
guess
on
what
those
Ventures
will
be.
We're
going
to
make
sure
that
they're
in
the
communication
pipeline
I've
also
reached
out
to
them
individually.
We've
asked
them
questions
about
what
are
their
needs.
What
are
the
gaps
that
are
in
Chandler?
H
T
Absolutely
great
question,
so
the
short
version
is
by
having
a
hyper
local
approach.
So
what
that
means
is
an
entrepreneur
will
not
leave
the
community
if
we
can
actually
do
our
job
right,
which
is
give
them
the
resources,
support
and
Community
connections
that
will
make
it
valuable
for
them
to
stay
here.
We
plan
on
plugging
them
into
the
many
robust
organizations
that
you
all
have
worked
in.
Your
economic
development
team
have
worked
so
hard
to
have
here
in
Chandler.
T
T
We
want
Founders
who
are
part
of
Chandler
already
who
have
a
piece
of
the
vision
who
are
looking
to
really
grow
a
venture
here
and
give
back
to
the
community
a
piece
of
the
buzz
that
you
heard
so
often
when
in
those
events
that
you
felt
and
I'm
glad
you
felt
that
was
our
focus
and
our
approach
is
really
about
the
community,
not
about
incubation,
so
from
the
front
of
the
room.
We
establish
that
time
and
time
again,
I
say
my
job
is
to
stand
up
here
and
be
the
ringleader,
but
it's
your
guys's
show.
T
H
T
T
H
G
G
It's
been
a
while
yeah
no
big
deal
but
I
remember
going
to
Startup
events
down
in
Phoenix
and
thinking
to
myself.
We've
got
all
of
these
engineers
and
kids
of
engineers
in
this
community
here
with
Intel
and
all
the
other
groups.
They
have.
Why
aren't
we
creating
these
Collision
spaces
right
here
in
Chandler?
G
A
T
T
Well,
I,
do
know
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
thousand
that's
in
there,
but
what
we
do
know
is
every
semester
we
give
away
300
to
400
000
in
non-dilutive
seed
funding,
and
all
of
that
is
donated
by
Angel
Investors
that
support
our
program,
and
so
it
it's
a
great
way
to
leverage
the
resources
and
we're
also
really
committed
to.
We
know
that
in
Chandler
there
are
Angel
Investors
there
are
Engineers,
there
are
people
who
are
interested
in
giving
back
to
the
community.
T
G
That's
that's
great!
That's
just
so
good
to
hear
you
know:
I
gotta,
I
gotta
thank
Josh
and
economic
development
department
with
the
city
for
sort
of
taking
this
and
then
finding
the
right
partner.
It's
something!
We've
been
trying
to
do
for
a
long
time
and
I
think
working
with
ASU
working
with
the
other
organizations
like
the
chamber,
and
things
like
that.
G
We
are
really
going
to
create
that
Collision
space
for
entrepreneurs
to
really
find
their
way
find
the
track
that
they
need
to
be
successful
and
then
maybe
that
next
Google
that
next
Dell
that's
an
older
company,
but
that
next
big
company
could
come
out
of
Chandler
and
continue
that
ecosystem,
creating
opportunities
and
jobs
for
our
community.
So
thank
you.
T
Good
question
and
I
would
say
that
my
team
has
been
part
of
the
acic
center
for
a
while,
but
the
incubation
portion
has
always
been
underneath
a
separate
contract,
so
a
piece
of
the
challenge
has
been.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we
can
fund
a
model
like
this?
It
does
take
people
to
make
these
kind
of
things
happen,
and
so
that
hasn't
been
traditionally
something
that
has
been
housed.
How
we've
operated
all
of
our
Partnerships
across
ASU
is
whenever
it
comes
to
entrepreneurship
or
kind
of
socially
embedded
within
the
community.
T
J
You
so
much
for
answering
that
question.
The
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
impress
on
you
is
the
fact
that
I
am
hearing
the
word
community
community
community
and
to
me
that
that's
what
we
wanted
all
along
that
the
community
will
be
part
of
this,
that
it
will
not
just
be
a
few
who
have
an
idea
that
we'll
try,
as
you
said,
trying
to
really
take
the
top
of
the
crop
and
then
the
rest
felt
that
they
are
discouraged.
They
can't
get
anything
done
because
nobody
is
really
helping
them
and
pushing
them.
J
I
am
going
to
be
around
I,
can
tell
you
I'm
watching
and
now
we'll
be
asking
some
questions.
I
will
would
be
showing
up
to
see
what's
going
on
over
there
and
how
it's
going
to
happen
and
again,
congratulations
on
this
new
Endeavor
and
I
know
that
it's
going
to
work
because
from
your
passion
and
from
the
fact
that
you
have
given
us
great
statistic
of
what
you've
already
accomplished
somewhere
else.
So
I
am
sitting
here
waiting
to
see
what's
going
to
happen
in
Chandler.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Thank.
F
You
councilmember
Harris
yeah.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
taking
the
time
to
do
a
presentation,
you
know
being
a
part
of
the
council
for
the
last
three
years.
We've
talked
about
the
Endeavor
entrepreneurship,
as
you
know
that
I'm,
a
founder
of
an
organization
that
helps
supports
entrepreneur
as
next
year
will
be
like
10
years
and
we've
seen
ups
and
downs
we've
seen
I've
seen
it
all.
F
So
a
thousand
is
just
a
that's.
Not
even
a
percentage
and
I
guess.
I
would
expect
more
and
I
know
that
Peoria
has
had
great
success,
but
you're
talking
about
a
new
program.
That's
going
to
need
a
lot
of
marketing
and
I
didn't
hear
that
in
the
presentation,
but
I
know
you're
going
to
work
on
it,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I'm
not
trying
to
be
the
Debbie
Downer
I
just
have
a
lot
of
knowledge.
Experience
and
I've
been
in
this
game
for
a
very
long
time.
F
I've
been
an
entrepreneur
for
over
20
plus
years,
I
haven't
worked
for
a
corporate
American
until
I
became
a
council
member,
and
that's
how
long
it's
been
so
I
carry
this
way
to
represent
everyone
out
there,
but
I
shifted
back
on
you,
because
if
this
program
doesn't
turn
out
the
way
I
expected
to
turn
out
this
year,
I'm
not
going
to
advocate
for
it
to
move
forward
with
my
colleagues.
So
when
you
go
and
do
the
work
I'm
asking
you
to
do
the
work
use
your
resources.
F
We
are
your
resources
to
support
the
program
and
I
will
support
it
as
well.
But
this
is
my
why,
in
terms
of
where
I
stand
with
this
program,
if
it
doesn't
produce
what
I
expected
to
produce
I'm
going
to
be
asking
to
go
a
different
direction,
that's
just
me
talking,
because
that's
what
I
feel,
because
this
takes
time
and
I
haven't
seen
the
entrepreneurs
that
we
expect
to
come
out
of
the
city
of
Chandler,
blooming
and
starting
here.
I
have
not
seen
that
Roi
come
back
to
us
and
that
may
not
be
on
you.
F
That
may
be
more
internal
stuff,
but
I
haven't
seen
the
ROI
that
I
expect
so
I'm
going
to
work
with
you.
I
want
to
be
a
good
partner.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
express
that
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
you
hope,
as
a
Chandler
residents
hold
us
accountable,
I
hold
our
partners
accountable
and
I
know
we're
going
to
do
a
good
job
together
and
being
an
entrepreneur
on
positive
and
I
know.
This
is
going
to
be
a
turn
leap,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
share
that
with
you.
F
So
it
can
be
reflected
that
there
is
a
heavy
exploitation
and
there
has
been
a
lot
a
lot
of
let
Downs
in
the
past
now
I
want
to
see
it
go
to
the
next
level,
so
I'm
sure
I
met
you
we
spoke,
we've
met
so
I
know,
underneath
your
leadership
we're
going
to
see
even
greater
from
ASU.
So
thank
you
again
for
taking
us
on
and
thank
you
again
for
what
you're
doing
really
appreciate
it.
Thanks.
E
You,
oh
thank
you,
mayor,
a
very
quick
question.
It's
good
to
hear
the
success
of
your
attendance
right
now
with
the
Endeavor
project,
I'm,
looking
forward
towards
the
future
of
that.
How
is
there
a
plan
or
strategy
to
maintain
that
interest
in
gaining
new
participants?
What
is
the
framework
for
that?
Yeah.
T
And
so
that
sounds
similar
to
council
member
Harris's
concern
around
marketing
and
Outreach,
and
what
that
looks
like
looks
like
multiple
prongs.
Do
I
think
that
we
will
have
75
people
at
every
monthly
event
moving
forward,
no
I,
don't
intentionally
our
programs
have
been
designed
to
be
asynchronous,
meaning
entrepreneurs
go
through
different
times
where
they
have
different
focuses.
T
They
can't
come
to
monthly
events,
so
we've
created
multiple
Pathways
to
allow
them
to
still
get
the
support
to
still
get
the
tools
and
have
that
flexibility
with
their
own
life
within
that,
and
we
know
that
moving
forward,
we
intentionally
design
the
programs
to
be
the
ones
that
everybody
speaks
to
everybody,
funding,
marketing,
getting
money
and
raising
and
pitching
so
we've
had
those
people
now
engaged
in
the
ecosystem.
We
know
who
they
are.
We
have
their
their
emails.
We
know
how
to
reach
out
and
engage
with
them
and
we've
established
a
rapport.
T
Our
plan
is
to
continue
to
grow
on
that
we
know
as
we
go
into
the
next
six
months.
The
next
series
is
not
going
to
have
as
many
people
attend,
because
it's
some
nuts
and
bolts
things
and
what
we're
going
to
do
is
really
ramp
up
the
Outreach.
So
that's
what
we
were
able
to
do
with
strategic
Partners
in
the
community
and
knowing
that
this
was
a
beta
test.
T
I
will
be
in
full
transparency,
communicating
talking
and
sharing
the
information
and
knowing
that,
the
more
that
we
can
spread
the
word
the
better
and
the
more
intentional
we
are
in
our
communication,
especially
around
when
we're
talking
Community
it
doesn't
need
to
be
about
the
program.
What
we
need
to
find
is
a
couple
of
key
success
stories.
T
Entrepreneurs
who
are
in
this
community
who
are
doing
the
work
that
Inspire
and
move
conversations
forward
and
what
I'm
going
to
ask
is
for
city
council
to
continue
to
amplify
that
and
to
give
me
feedback
on
who
are
the
movers
and
shakers
in
the
community?
Who
are
the
people
that
represent
the
people
that
you
are
elected
to
lead
that
are
also
entrepreneurs
right?
Maybe
they
don't
Define
themselves
as
that?
T
Quite
yet,
maybe
they're
an
artist,
maybe
they're,
a
non-profit,
maybe
they're,
a
small
business
but
they're,
taking
an
Innovative
approach
to
move
to
move
a
novel
idea
forward.
The
more
that
we
can
set
that
the
more
that
we
can
amplify
the
voices
of
entrepreneurs
I
have
full
confidence
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
build
that
over
time
and
entrepreneurial
ecosystem
building
on
average
takes
20
to
25
years.
T
So
that's
what
all
we've
learned
from
cities
across
the
country
now
I
can't
speak
to
the
organization
that
was
responsible
for
the
incubation
prior,
but
I
do
know
that
this
is
a
long-term
game
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
deliver
quality
programming,
to
meet
expectations
and
exceed
them
so
that
we
can
make
that
20-year.
Sustainability
run.
D
And
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
the
space
being
activated
and
used
in
this
fashion
and
I.
You
know:
I've
I've
watched
our
incubation
efforts,
kind
of
rise
and
fall
through
the
years
and
or
were
eager
to
join
you
in
this
process
and
I
do
see
it
us
and
you
and
our
community
to
to
to
Really,
raise
up
the
dreamers,
the
entrepreneurs
across
our
city.
So.
U
Good
evening,
mayor
members
Council,
this
is
the
this
grant
is
the
fourth
grant
that
we've
received
in
the
last
five
years
from
the
hill
River
Indian
Community,
so
I
just
want
to
express
our
appreciation
and
how
grateful
we
are
for
their
support
over
the
years.
This
particular
Grant
will
enable
us
to
purchase
two
portable,
really
handheld
or
narcotics
analyzers.
This
device
is
about
the
size
of
a
of
a
large
phone
or
a
small
tablet.
U
It
weighs
about
a
pound,
but
it's
able
to
analyze
over
500
different
types
of
drugs
and
the
result
to
produce
real
time
and
the
evidence
is
accepted.
Well,
the
results
are
accepted,
as
evidenced
by
the
county
attorney's
office,
but
the
really
the
two
major
benefits
of
having
this
this
device
is
number
one.
U
It
will
reduce
the
number
of
cases
that
our
crime
lab
has
to
analyze,
so
they
can
focus
on
those
very
serious,
difficult
cases,
but
perhaps,
most
importantly,
it
provides
great
safety
to
our
officers,
because
these
devices
do
not
require
our
officers
to
to
really
handle
the
drugs
drugs
come
in
packages,
whether
in
plastic
or
paper
or
glasses
or
a
glass.
This
device
has
a
laser
which
penetrates
those
packaging
devices,
so
the
the
officers
don't
have
to
handle
the
drugs
and
a
lot
of
the
drugs
out
there
are
lethal.
E
That's
where
we've
seen
this,
thank
you
chief
for
giving
us
further
explanation.
Explanation
of
that
I
did
want
to
highlight
the
efforts
of
your
department
in
obtaining
this
Grant
and
these
funds
for
our
city
and
for
our
residents
and
especially,
as
you
mentioned,
having
this
being
a
safety
caution
for
your
department,
so
members
aren't
handling
these
materials
or
substances.
Two
quick
questions
is
this:
something
that
we
already
use
within
the
department
or
is
this
gonna
be
something
totally
new?
E
U
A
U
Capabilities
with
this
new
device,
it's
from
the
same
vendor,
true
narc,
so
we'll
be
able
to
do
more
with
these,
but
it's
not
new
to
the
police
department.
We've
been
utilizing
this
in
our
crime
lab
and
our
narcotics
unit
this
these
devices
one
will
go
to
the
crime
lab,
so
we'll
have
an
additional
device
and
the
other
one
will
be
available
to
our
Patrol
officers.
As
far
as
the
accuracy
I
can't
give
you
those
numbers
specifically
because
I
don't
want
to
speak,
but
the
evidence
that's
collected.
U
The
results
are
accepted,
as
evidenced
by
the
Maricopa
County
Attorney's
Office,
so
that
will
lead
to
the
the
accuracy
of
it.
So
this
is
all
preliminary
testing.
If
it
needs
to
go
to
trial,
then
that
test,
then
those
drugs
then
would
be
tested,
if
necessary,
secondarily
by
our
crime
lab.
So
this
is
a
preliminary
basically
Street
test.
Okay,.
A
D
Council,
that's
the
last
item
called
in
on
Thursday.
We
will
we
will
vote
on
the
consent
agenda
as
well
as
one
item
on
our
action
agenda,
which
is
the
Council
budget
amendments
and
my
thought
on
that
currently
is.
We
will
Steven's
going
to
come
up
and
bring
a
brief
presentation
and
if
you
have
any
questions
on
any
of
the
specific
items,
we'll
answer
those
and
then
vote
on
those
as
a
whole,
unless
you
any
of
you
designed
to
pull
one
out
and
and
vote
on
that
separately.
