Welcome

public
housing
authority
meeting,
which
is
fairly
short.
The
second
is
our
regular
meeting,
which
is
a
condensed
city
council
meeting,
of
which
many
of
you
are
here
for
recognitions
and
other
such
things,
and
then
we
will
close
out
the
evening
with
a
study
session,
of
of
which
we

We
come
before
you
now:
Lord
God,
Praise,
You,
Heavenly
Father
blessed
is
your
name.
Thank
you,
Jesus
for
your
gift
of
grace
through
the
sacrifice
of
your
body
on
the
cross,
thank
you
for
being
our
God
and
giving
us
the
freedom
to
assemble
as
Citizens
and
elected
officials,
to
discuss
matters
that
are
important
to
the
people
of
Chandler.
Let
us
not
take
for
granted
the
gift
of
Freedom.
We
have
that
comes
through
the
our
your
Sovereign
hand.
I
It
is
only
because
of
your
grace
that
our
country
was
created
by
men
who
were
not
perfect,
but
in
the
end,
put
together
a
constitution
that
allows
people
to
live
and
speak
freely.
Thank
you.
Jesus.
We
pray
now
that
you
will
give
the
council
wisdom
and
guidance
as
they
go
through
the
agenda
tonight.
We
also
pray
for
peace
in
all
areas
of
our
city
and
protect
each
police
officer
as
they
put
their
lives
on
the
line
each
and
every
day.
I
C
J
K
She
even
made
my
library
card
at
a
park,
so
Lindsay
of
as
she
approaches
each
of
her
Outreach
Endeavors.
She
has
the
same
enthusiasm
connecting
people
with
where
they
live,
work
and
play
Lindsay's
got
a
great
sense
of
humor
and
always
a
can-do
attitude.
Congratulations
Lindsay
and
thank
you
for
your
service
to
Chandler.
Thank.
G
K
C
I
promise
council
member
Poston.
She
gets
to
read
the
proclamation
with
the
hard
words
in
it,
so,
whereas
the
mission
of
Chandler,
what
are
you
doing?
Water
safety
campaign
is
to
prevent
drowning
through
our
community
and
even
one
drowning
is
one
too
many,
and
whereas
water
safety
includes
the
obvious,
safe,
swimming
and
boating
water.
C
Jackets
learn
to
swim,
lessons
for
adults
and
children,
CPR
lessons
in
raising
Community
awareness
and
whereas,
during
the
month
of
August,
the
city
of
Chandler
amplifies
its
water
safety
message,
reminding
the
community
that
drownings
are
preventable
in
a
water.
Smart
Community
now,
therefore,
I
Kevin
Hartke,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Chandler,
Arizona,
to
hereby
Proclaim
August
2023
as
drowning
impact,
Awareness
Month,
who
would
like
to
say
something
all
right.
M
Yeah,
so
August
is
drowning
impact
awareness
month
and
we
know
that
one
drowning
is
too
many.
So
we
as
an
Aquatics
fire
police,
we
partner
to
make
sure
that
the
drownings
in
Chandler
are
negligible.
We
don't
want
any
child
in
our
community
to
to
drown.
They
are
a
hundred
percent
preventable.
So
this
month
we
do
give
away
a
free
pool
fence,
so
we'll
be
announcing
that
winner
at
the
end
of
the
month,
that's
something
we
do
annually
in
our
community.
We
do.
We
offer
10
000
swimming
lessons
a
year.
C
L
Connection
is
critical
in
developing
a
community
that
is
where
empowered
and
caring
and
whereas
due
to
the
efforts
of
many
chandler-based
non-profit
organizations,
Mental
Health,
Providers
and
community
and
youth
volunteers,
the
first
ever
Downtown
Chandler,
World,
Suicide,
Prevention,
Day
Gathering
individual
will
occur
on
Sunday
September.
10Th
at
the
Chandler
Community
Center
and
whereas
all
Chandler
community
members
are
encouraged
to
use
this
gathering
in
Vigil
as
an
opportunity
to
build
connections,
have
direct
conversations,
access
resources
and
support
each
other
on
that
day
and
in
days.
L
P
So
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
the
proclamation
at
semicolon
Society.
We
continue
to
make
efforts
to
merge
the
different
organizations
and
community
members
to
have
conversations
about
suicide,
to
share
resources,
to
connect
families
and
to
connect
community
members.
So
it's
an
ongoing
challenge
of
reducing
the
stigma
and
opening
up
honest
conversations
and
I
appreciate
moving
forward
and
hope
to
see
you
all
at
the
vigil.
C
Lena

been
awarded

very
high
honor

volunteer
service,

a
all
within
a
six-month
period.
Lena
did
all
this
during
the
pandemic,
while
also
tutoring
students,
Lena,
is
involved
in
volleyball,
debate,
basketball
and
plans
to
continue
doing
volunteer
work
in
our
community
and
mentoring.
C
Q
Q
G
E
C
C
A
standout
citizen
in
Chandler
I'm
not
sure
what
that
means
stand
out,
but
you
do
stand
out
who
plays
an
important
role
as
the
chair
of
our
military
and
Veterans
Affair
Commission
in
recent
years
he
worked
to
bring
supplies
and
support
to
the
Navajo
Nation.
As
a
result,
Bob
received
an
appreciation
award
from
the
Navajo
Nation
to
thank
him
for
all
he
did
to
serve
the
community.
It's
appropriate
today
is
the
Navajo
code
talker
day.
C
O
C
L
C
C
D
H
L
C
L
L
Foreign,
thank
you
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
this
item
a
little
bit
about
this
item.
If
you
could
give
a
little
background
and
that
this
was
really
more
of
a
community
generated
concept,
as
opposed
to
us
as
a
as
a
council
body
kind
of
pushing
this
on
residence
they're
actually
asking
for
this,
and
maybe
some
of
the
processes
that
if
any
of
those
area
residents
have
concerns
I
I
know
there
are
some
steps
before
this
actually
happens.
Okay,.
R
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
councilmember
Poston.
So
that
is
correct.
This
is
a
community
generated
item.
State
Statute
governs
the
the
formation
of
Special
Districts
special
taxing
districts
in
the
irrigation
water
delivery,
District
that
is
proposed,
which
remain
Park
was
requested
by
the
residents
of
that
neighborhood.
Specific
boundaries
were
drawn
around
that
neighborhood
and
a
statute
requires
that
the
city
in
which
the
district
is
proposed
indoors.
That's
a
that's
a
term
of
art
that
they
use
in
statute.
We
endorse
them
moving
forward
with
with
the
process,
and
so
once
Council
takes
action
tonight.
R
L
R
Council
member
post-
and
that
is
correct-
we
received
a
public
comment
for
about
three
weeks
from
a
variety
of
residents
in
the
neighborhood
confirming
their
endorsement.
We
did
receive
one
opposed,
but
the
remaining
21
or
22
who
emailed
the
city,
indicated
their
their
position
of
support,
and
then
there
was
extensive
Outreach
done
by
the
residents
themselves
prior
to
that
point
as
well
that
they
provided
the
city.
Okay,.
C
All
right
any
additional
questions
or
comments
related
to
this.
Thank
you.
Ryan
next
item
called
fourth
by
vice
mayor
and
myself
was
item
number
three
and
IGA
with
regional
Public,
Transportation
Authority,
of
which
council
member
Harris
serves
representing
the
city
of
Chandler.
Jason
Crampton
is
Jason
here.
Oh
there
you
go.
S
Yes,
hello,
mayor
council,
thank
you
so
just
to
put
this
in
comparison
with
with
last
year,
we
are
requesting
zero
general
fund
dollars
to
contribute
to
the
Valley
Metro
bus
Paratransit
and
ride
Choice
Services
through
this
agreement
with
Valley
Metro
Regional
Public
Transportation
Authority,
which
is
great
news.
Compared
to
previous
years.
We
asked
for
about
1.7
million
of
low
mix
between
local
and
state
lottery,
proceeds
the
additional
we're
not
reducing
any
service.
S
G
E
E
C
Mayor
council,
any
questions
for
Jason
all
right.
If,
if
you
might
offer
me
the
luxury
I'd
like
to
introduce
and
invite
up
Jessica
mefford
Miller,
she
hails
from
the
St
Louis
area.
We're
able
to
steal
her
from
that
area
to
lead
our
our
Valley
Metro
Regional,
Public,
Transportation
Authority
here
I
happen
to
be
serving
at
that
time
and
was
part
of
the
able
to
to
vote
on
you
as
we
know
so.
We're
honored
to
have
you
here.
The
floor
is
yours.
T
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
members
of
the
council,
I'd
like
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
this
evening
of
the
intergovernmental
agreement
that
you'll
be
voting
on
later
this
week.
As
Jason
outlined,
there's
been
a
shift
this
year
in
the
allocation
of
funding
in
Valley
Metro
works
with
the
city
of
Chandler
and
all
of
our
member
City
towns
to
understand
how
we
might
actually
fund
the
regional
service.
The
intergovernmental
agreement
actually
supports
the
cost
of
operating
and
maintaining
bus
service,
as
well
as
Paratransit
service
and
ride
choice
in
the
city
of
Chandler.
T
Some
highlights
of
work
in
recent
months
and
in
the
year
that
this
IGA
will
cover
which
began
this
past
July
1
include
a
new
operations
and
maintenance
contract
for
the
East
Valley.
That
does
include
the
city
of
Chandler
that
new
contract
and
a
new
operator
actually
goes
into
effect
on
January
1
2024
will
also
have
a
new
contract
for
our
Paratransit
service.
That
contract
begins
on
October
1st
of
this
year.
With
those
new
agreements,
we
expect
improved
performance.
T
We
have
worked
very
carefully,
including
with
the
support
and
involvement
of
member
City
staff
from
Chandler
to
craft.
The
work
program
for
those
contractors
and
I
am
optimistic
that
we
will
achieve
the
results
we
aim
to
deliver,
we'll
also
complete
the
ongoing
Chandler
airport,
Chandler
Air
Park,
flexible
Transit
study.
T
This
is
the
outgrowth
of
a
recent
study
that
led
to
the
designation
of
the
Chandler
Flex
microtransit
service
area,
so
the
current
study
is
actually
looking
at
opportunities
to
expand
that
flexible
service
across
the
city
of
Chandler
City
of
Gilbert
is
also
a
partner
in
that
study,
we're
working
very
closely
with
city
of
Chandler's
staff.
We
have
also
been
working
of
late
with
city
of
Chandler
police
on
Operation
Blue
ride,
and
the
focus
of
this
program
is
to
engage
our
low
local
law
enforcement
Partners
in
creating
a
more
secure,
Valley,
Metro
bus
system.
T
Our
efforts
lately
have
been
focused
on
the
112
route.
That's
the
Arizona
Avenue
route
and
we
are
riding
alongside
with
our
own
Public
Safety
team
members
and
Chandler
Law
Enforcement.
So
we
thank
you
for
your
efforts
and
with
that
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
Transit
service
and
Chandler
Council.
H
H
Well,
a
fellow
St
Louis
and
welcome
to
to
Chandler.
You
know,
I'm
always
curious
about
you
know:
microtransit
seems
to
be
a
very
popular
method
of
transportation.
These
days,
we're
seeing
I,
don't
know
if
we're
seeing
Less
ridership
on
the
big
buses
anymore,
but
it
seems
like
a
there's,
a
sustainability
story
if
we
can
start
to
migrate
towards
more
microtransit
and
less
away
from
these
empty
buses,
at
least
here
in
the
suburbs.
What's
your
take
on.
T
That
yeah,
that's
a
great
question,
so
microtransit
works
very
well
and
microtransit
by
the
way
is
flexible
demand,
responsive
service,
usually
utilize,
the
smaller
Vehicles.
We
typically
see
a
Chrysler
Town
and
Country
minivan
here
in
East
Valley
in
West
Valley,
so
small
numbers
of
people,
ideally
people
going
to
and
from
a
similar
location,
operates
in
a
fixed
zone,
so
not
like
uber,
where
you
could
get
an
Uber
from
right
here
at
council
chambers
and
take
it
to
Sky,
Harbor
airport
or
to
West
Valley.
T
If
you
were
so
inclined
just
operates
within
a
local
Zone
and
is
really
intended
for
longer
trips
to
feed
customers
into
the
fixed
root
public
transit
system.
Now,
I
want
to
contrast
that,
with
busier
corridors
like
the
Arizona
Avenue
Corridor
here
in
Chandler,
we
would
have
to
take
a
whole
lot
of
microtransit
vehicles
to
try
and
replace
that
bus
service
because
we
have
a
higher
demand.
T
So
if
you
think
about
it,
we're
matching
the
service
level,
the
frequency
and
now
the
service
type
to
demand
and
that
helps
us
reach
out,
especially
in
some
of
our
growing
communities.
We're
working
with
West
Valley
on
microtransit
there's.
Also,
an
appetite
for
similar
services
on
the
periphery
of
Gilbert
in
Mesa,
where
we
have
low
density.
Eventually,
though,
when
you
have
enough
ridership
you
reach
that
Tipping
Point,
where
you
need
fixed
route
Transit
service,
the
40-foot
bus
is
the
main
state
of
urban
public
transit
Nationwide.
T
C
F
Ellis,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
You
will
talk
about
a
new
operator
coming
in.
Can
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
what
that's
going
to
entail
because,
anytime,
you
have
a
transition.
There
could
be
like
a
a
space
where
people
will
not
get
service
because
we're
in
between
and
different
things
happening.
What
is
it
that
Metro's
doing
to
make
sure
that
the
transition
is
seamless
and
everything's
gonna
work
out
all
for
those
who
use
the
service?
Thank.
T
You,
council,
member,
the
transition
of
these
contracts
is
certainly
a
large
undertaking,
so
the
new
operator
who
would
come
in
and
and
this
by
the
way
goes
to
our
board
of
directors
on
Thursday
of
this
week.
So,
if
approved
by
our
board
of
directors,
the
new
contractor
would
actually
begin
their
period
of
performance
on
January
1..
However,
they
have
submitted
a
comprehensive
transition
plan
as
part
of
their
proposal.
T
We,
as
Valley
Metro,
also
have
our
own
transition
plan
that
impacts
our
activities
and
we're
already
working
together
with
that
prospective
contractor
to
ensure
a
seamless
transition,
both
in
ensuring
continuity
of
service
for
our
customers,
but
also
continuity
of
employment
for
our
valued
team
members
who
are
delivering
that
service
every
day
currently
under
contract
with
transdev
in
the
the
winning
firm,
if
approved
on
Thursday,
is
actually
a
different
contractor.
So
it's
a
challenge
when
we
have
this
handoff
we'll
also
have
a
similar
handoff
for
our
October
1st
Paratransit
contract.
That
contract
transition
is
already
underway.
U
T
You
councilmember
Harris,
the
enabling
legislation
that
was
passed
by
the
House
and
Senate
and
was
signed
by
Governor
Hobbs
represents
an
increase
actually
in
public
transportation.
Funding
from
that
Regional
asset
sales
tax
today,
with
proposition
400
Transit
receives
about
33
and
a
third
percent
of
that
half
cent
sales
tax.
The
enabling
legislation
would
devote
37
of
that
half
cent
sales
tax
to
public
transit.
This
was
crafted
in
close
coordination
with
mag
and
all
of
our
member
cities
and
towns
over
a
period
of
years.
T
Through
the
momentum
plan
development
and
what
that
means
is,
we
will
be
equipped
to
deliver
a
higher
level
of
service
and
in
the
fastest
growing
County
in
the
U.S.
That
is
very
important.
So
a
higher
level
of
service
for
bus
might
look
like
additional
frequency
and
or
expanded
Geographic
scope
covering
more
areas.
It
could
include
a
more
mix
of
some
of
the
other
services.
We've
talked
about
like
micro,
Transit
and
I
want
to
note
that
the
public
transportation
funds
or
the
regional
tax
is
but
one
source
of
funding
for
public
transit
across
the
valley.
T
T
F
T
F
F
Rather
than
just
one
one
one
size
fit
all
whether
if
it's
going
to
be
real
everybody's
going
to
get
well
or
if
it's
going
to
be
so,
you
talk
about
micro,
Transit,
which
is
going
to
be
meeting
the
need
of
each
Community
for
whatever
it
is
that
they
need.
So
this
funding
is
going
to
allow
you
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
deliver
those
those
types
of
services
where
it's
needed
and
how
it's
needed
for
that
community
in
particular.
Yes,.
T
With
some
restrictions,
there
are
some
restrictions
on
the
use
of
funding
that
would
be
derived
from
the
half
cent
sales
tax.
Moving
forward
that
the
enabling
legislation
applies
to,
we
would
not
be
able
to
construct
or
operate
Light,
Rail
or
streetcar.
For
instance,
with
this
new
funding
stream,
we
will
be
able
to
operate
bus
service
with
that.
T
We
will
also
be
able
to
perform
some
of
our
preventative
maintenance
on
the
rail
system
with
that
funding
and
then
we'll
have
to
have
an
ongoing
conversation
about
services
like
microtransit,
in
its
applicability
or
eligibility
for
this
new
funding
source.
So
microtransit
is
relatively
new
to
our
Valley
and
right
now
we're
funding
it
locally
in
some
of
our
member
cities.
But
that's
a
conversation
that
can
be
had
at
the
level
of
the
Maricopa
Association
of
governments,
and
certainly
in
coordination
with
our
member
cities,
are.
F
T
C
S
K
Good
evening,
mayor
and
Council,
just
as
a
quick
overview
for
the
project
cities
program,
make
sure
I
got
this
correct
so
that
they
can
show
that
up.
So
your
action
item
is
actually
to
afford
the
mayor
to
sign,
on
behalf
of
or
and
with
the
Arizona
Board
of
Regents,
for
the
Arizona
State
University
and
for
us
to
work
with
them
to
develop
and
execute
the
project
cities
program.
K
We're
going
to
have
students
studying
how
the
community
uses
different
parks
in
Chandler.
So
it's
a
great
way
for
us
to
network
a
great
way
for
us
to
highlight
the
partnership
and
a
great
way
for
us
to
introduce
community
service
and
particularly
government
service,
to
our
future
generation
of
workers
and
with
that
I'll,
hopefully
answer
any
questions
for
you.
F
Thank
you
mayor
when
I
was
reading
about
that.
I
was
very
excited
because,
anytime
we
have
a
university
student
and
their
professors
doing
things
together.
Learning
is
really
a
great
environment
for
them
to
learn
and
its
presence
and
the
benefit
is
both
way.
It's
a
win-win.
I
know
that
when
I
was
reading
it,
it
says
that
they
are
not
going
to
charge
the
student
to
be
part
of
the
program
so
where's
the
funding
is
going
to
come
from
to
make
sure
that
this
program
is
variable.
K
Excellent
mayor,
councilmember
Ellis,
specifically
this
agreement.
Your
action
does
not
have
any
Financial
contribution,
but
when
we
do
projects,
we
work
with
the
sustainable
project,
City
staff,
to
define
the
scope
of
work
as
well
as
the
needs
associated
with
that
project,
specifically
okay,
so
we
will
budget
that
or
we
will
work
through
our
operations
budgets
to
fund
the
necessary
costs
associated
with
that
wonderful.
E
Yeah,
thank
you.
Councilmember
Ellis,
one
of
my
question,
I
appreciate
you
bring
that
up.
It's
always
important.
We
get
the
dollars
from
right
and
it's
like
partnership,
just
another
partnership
area,
which
you
know
I'm,
always
looking
for
Partnerships
to
leverage
what
we
could
do
as
a
city.
What
other
entities
now
I
know
why
you
pick
Parks.
You
answered
my
other
question
because
you
you
ran
this
I
appreciate
that
how
long
is
this
going
will
be
taken?
If
we,
how
long
does
these
projects
usually
take
a
semester?
Is
it
short-term
long-term?
So.
K
As
a
mayor
vice
mayor
as
a
matter
of
full
disclosure,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
project
cities
that
are
during
my
tenure
with
the
city
of
Peoria.
We
did
a
number
of
different
projects,
some
lasted
the
full
year,
others
were
just
a
semester,
so
that
scope
of
work
was
was
really
what
determined.
How
long
that
that
project
would.
Last
the
my
you
know
my
experience,
the
results
are
high
quality
very
well
published
and
documented
project.
E
J
Yeah
Mr
Mayor
Mr
vice
mayor,
there's
no
limit
on
the
number
of
projects
we
can
do
at
a
given
time,
so
it
just
depends
on
what
the
operational
needs
of
the
Departments
are
and
to
make
sure
those
resources
are
budgeted,
but
we
can
certainly
have
multiple
projects
going
simultaneously.
If
we
identify
those
okay.
E
H
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
the
presentation,
I
got
to
tell
you.
You
know
we
talked
about
this
briefly
about
two
or
three
years
ago
about
sort
of
breaking
down
some
of
the
barriers
and
starting
to
collaborate
with
our
cusd.
Our
private
schools,
Valley
Christian,
now,
ASU
and
and
those
things
are
coming
to
fruition.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
Josh
for
listening
and
then,
more
importantly,
thank
your
staff
for
actually
pulling
it
together
in
Ward
Nichols
for
for
pulling
this
together
with
ASU.
K
Mayor
council,
member
Poston,
so
that
also
is
dependent
upon
the
scope
of
work.
Okay,
back
to
my
experience,
we
had
graduate
level
doctorate
level
students
that
were
paid
a
stipend
for
the
work
that
they
had
done
on
one
of
our
projects,
so
it
really
depends
I
will
not
be
paying
the
200
level
observational
students
for
the
park
project,
so
they're
not
working
working
that
way,
but
that
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
it's
to
determine
if
necessary.
Okay,.
G
V
And
councilmember
and
Cenas.
Thank
you,
mayor
John,
quick
question,
there's,
obviously,
a
great
collaboration
with
ASU,
and
especially
with
the
school
of
sustainability
for
future
projects.
I
go
on.
I
know
we're
going
to
be
focusing
on
some
parks.
Is
there
going
to
be
the
scope
of
work?
Does
that
get
decided
by
a
collaboration
of
council
and
the
program?
How
does
the
next
program
or
project
get
chosen
and
as
well
as
since
you've
had
experience
with
this
program
before?
K
Excellent
mayor,
councilmember
and
cenus
you're
testing
my
memory
so
yeah
the
the
inspiration
really
can
come
from
anywhere
and
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
beautiful
Parts
about
What,
ASU
and
project
City
specifically
have
done
over
the
past
several
years
that
the
the
ins,
the
ideas
are
really
coming
from
anywhere.
So
that's
really
an
Innovative
approach
to
whatever
the
problem
might
be.
If
it's,
maybe
it's
not
even
a
problem,
it's
just
an
inquiry.
K
Don't
we
want
to
know
right
so
once
we
have
that
inspiration,
we
can
work
with
the
project,
City
staff,
to
make
that
connection
and
that's
the
power
of
having
Arizona
State
University
and
the
diversity
of
classes,
the
diversity
of
the
areas
they
came
to
go
into
the
multi-disciplinary
sections
we
had
a
great
example
is
the
skunk
Creek
project
in
the
city
of
Peoria.
They
had
engineering
students
because
it's
a
part
of
the
Flood
Control
District.
K
They
have
engineering
students,
we
had
landscape
architecture,
students,
we
had
Parks
and
Recreation
students
working
together
to
come
with
some
Concepts
about
what
that
area
could
be.
They
worked
with
Professionals
in
the
field
as
well,
so
our
being
able
to
tap
into
resources
like
some
of
our
architect
firms.
So
it's
really
that's
sort
of
the
magic
of
taking
inspiration
and
being
able
to
pull
all
of
these
logistical
things
together.
Utilizing
that
model
of
experiential
learning.
C
Well,
we
look
forward
to
seeing
more
Partnerships
develop
out
of
this.
Thank
you
John,
but
don't
go
anywhere
item
number
eight!
If
you
could,
please
give
a
brief
presentation
on
the
playground
purchases.
This
item
was
called
in
by
council
member
Harris,
so
he's
going
to
make
a
presentation,
yeah,
okay,.
U
K
Right
excellent,
well,
mayor
council
members,
this
one
as
well.
This
is
very
exciting.
Your
support
and
recognition
continued
support
if
you
will
on
the
care
and
the
maintenance
of
our
public
amenities.
This
is
a
myriad
of
use
of
different
contractual
agreements
that
we
have
in
place,
but
it
is
assigning
2.650
million
dollars
for
us
to
align
with
a
number
of
different
projects.
I
I
did
bring
a
map
to
really
show
how
and
where
our
current
or
completed
in
processed
those
are
the
blue
dots.
K
The
2324
planned
projects
across
the
section
there
and
then
some
of
our
future
planned
projects
that
we
have
in
the
wings
with
future
funding.
But
this
utilizes
a
myriad
of
contracts
for
us
to
tap
right
into
whether
it's
shade
or
surfacing
or
playground
Parts.
If
the
elements
just
need
to
be
fixed
up
or
in
some
cases,
replacements.
K
Mickey
gave
me
a
nice
long
list
of
some
of
the
projects
that
are
going
on
with
Pima
Park
Los
Altos,
Park,
Brooks,
Crossing,
Park,
Pueblo,
Park
and
Navarette
Park
are
all
targeted
to
look
at
playground,
purchase
and
installation.
We'll
have
some
Ramada
Replacements
to
do
we're
installing
synthetic
turf
turf
at
the
downtown
library,
we'll
have
a
number
of
areas
that
will
receive
Park
Furniture.
K
This
will
also
replace
fabric
of
some
of
the
shade
structures
that
are
to
be
determined
and
a
number
North
of
30
Parks
will
receive
additional
ewf
or
engineered
wood
fiber,
which
is
the
I
hate
to
say
it,
wood
chips
at
the
playgrounds,
but
we
have
to
consistently
add
that
volume.
So
these
contracts
that
you
will
you'll
put
into
your
approval,
hopefully
for
this
Thursday,
allow
us
to
match
up
those
resources
that
you
provide
us
at
the
start
of
the
budget
year.
U
U
So
people
can
enjoy
the
amenities
everywhere
because
they
send
tend
to
focus
in
the
Tumbleweed
part
in
the
South
Chandler,
but
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we're
working
north
and
west
and
then
the
last
thing
is
and
I
don't
know.
If
this
is
something
that
we
can
look
into,
but
I
I
am
eager
to
know
if
they're.
If
we
can
look
and
this
this
is
just
putting
it
out
there
and
we
can
look
at
Wi-Fi
in
our
Parks.
U
You
know
because
I
think
that
would
be
really
cool
if
we
were
able
to
have
our
children.
Our
residents
and
stuff
go
to
the
park
and
be
able
to
experience
Wi-Fi
they
typically
are
trying
to
get
to
the
library
and
transportation
can
be
an
issue
at
times,
but
looking
at
Wi-Fi
at
some
of
our
parks
would
be
in
a
it
would
be
an
outstanding
amenity
if
we
can
kind
of
look
at
that
and
look
and
look
into
that.
U
C
C
D
C
C
W
Good
evening,
mayor
and
Council
in
1894
city
council
created
the
youth
and
program
funding
and
one
of
those
first
recipients
for
those
funds
was
the
Chandler
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
also
known
as
the
compadre
branch
of
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
Then
in
1995,
the
city
of
Chandler
purchased
the
old
Seton
Catholic
High
School
at
300,
West
Chandler.
W
W
As
you
can
see,
through
the
years
we
have
given
support
to
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
for
all
the
tremendous
programming
they
have
done
in
our
community.
We
have
provided
funding
since
1994-95
and
continued
to
have
a
very
strong
partnership
with
them.
Today.
This
expansion
will
allow
for
additional
space
for
the
teens
security
features
as
people
enter
the
building
and
some
rehab
and
refreshing
of
spaces
used
by
the
youth.
W
The
Chandler
Compadres
are
also
coming
on
board,
with
a
contribution
and
I
think
most
recently,
you
have
seen
in
the
news
where
the
Chandler
Compadres
are
also
presenting
funding
for
the
club
to
do
Transportation
with
that
we
will
be
able
to
have
youth
that
are
in
our
Title.
1
schools,
for
example,
have
transportation
directly
to
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
This
is
a
critical
audience
that
is
served
by
the
boys
and
girls
club
and
included
in
that
is
our
own
public
housing
youth.
W
We
have
many
of
our
youth
that
can
participate
in
the
sports
leagues
at
the
boys
and
girls
club
Put
on
today,
and
it
is
a
great
complement
to
the
recreation
program
we
have
through
public
housing.
Joining
us
today
is
Marcia
Mintz,
the
CEO
of
Boys
and
Girls
Club
of
the
valley
and
Josh
Stein,
who
is
the
vice
president
of
business
Affairs
and
Community
Partnerships.
N
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
It's
such
an
honor
to
be
here
and
just
wanted
to
come
in
person,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
this
long-term
support
and
partnership
that
we
have
as
Leah
shared
with
you.
One
of
the
reasons
we
are
so
excited
about
this,
as
you
know,
is
really
looking
at
the
needs.
Our
kids
and
teens
and
Chandler
have
today
and
I
will
share.
Take
it
back
a
little
bit
to
that
time
during
the
pandemic
and
I'm
so
proud
to
say
that
our
Chandler
Compadres
Branch
remained
open
during
the
pandemic.
N
We
stayed
open,
so
kids
in
the
community
who
needed
access
to
Internet
technology
to
connect
to
schools
had
a
place
to
go,
and
it
was
also
a
safe
place
for
the
parents
who
needed
to
work
our
essential
workers,
our
health
care
workers
could
drop
their
kids
off
know.
Their
kids
would
be
safe
for
the
day,
be
able
to
connect
to
school,
get
two
meals
a
day
and
then
be
able
to
go
home
at
night.
What
we
learned
during
this
time
over
the
last
few
years
is
that
our
kids
are
not
all
right.
N
They
have
a
lot
of
issues
right
now,
particularly
with
social
connection.
Even
digital
connection
continues
to
be
a
challenge,
and
what
does
it
mean
to
be
a
kid
and
a
youth
today
we
know
they
could
stay
at
home
and
probably
connect
to
some
people
online,
but
we
know
that's
not
the
right
thing
for
Children
and
Youth.
So,
with
the
help
and
our
partnership
expanding,
we
put
very
intentional
focus
on
a
few
Key
Programs
in
this
club,
because
we
believe
our
Chandler
Compadres
Club
is
really
our
signature.
Flagship
Club
out
of
all
of
our
sites.
N
As
you
know,
Terrors
is
a
federally
qualified,
Health
Care
Center
and
does
not
turn
away
anybody
for
their
inability
to
pay,
but
instead
of
worrying
about
providing
one-on-one
for
every
kid
in
the
club,
every
child
that
comes
in
is
getting
to
participate
in
these
activities
and
also
have
some
life
skill
focus,
which
is
fantastic
for
our
middle
school
and
our
teens.
We
put
a
real,
intentional
Focus,
also
on
our
AZ
youth
Force
program,
working
to
make
sure
teens
have
the
opportunity,
get
essential
skills,
training
but
then
get
paid.
N
Internships,
as
Leah
mentioned,
for
the
kids
that
we
serve
particularly
entitled
when
schools
they
want
to
have
internships.
They
want
to
have
jobs,
but
they
can't
do
it
for
free.
They
have
to
be
paid
because
they're
also
working
to
support
their
family,
so
we're
so
proud
of
this
program.
We've
added
two
new
positions,
particularly
for
focusing
on
recruitment,
so
there'll
be
recruitment
at
Chandler
high
school,
as
well
as
a
business
development,
professional
working
with
all
the
different
businesses
in
the
Chandler
Community,
thanks
also
to
the
help
of
the
Compadres
I.
N
Think
one
of
the
most
important
key
factors
right
now
is
transportation.
We
have
tried
everything
to
remove
the
transportation
barriers.
I
know
every
school
in
the
nation
is
having
challenges
with
bus
drivers
and
transporting
kids.
We've
tried
different
things:
smaller
buses,
big
buses
and
finally,
we
said
we
have
to
do
something
to
get
the
kids
in
the
club.
N
So,
thanks
to
the
Chandler
Compadres,
we
are
busing
through
six
Title
One
schools
bringing
them
directly
every
day,
we're
going
to
San
Marcos,
to
Sanborn,
to
Shumway,
to
Willis,
to
Galveston
and
bologna,
bringing
those
kids
to
the
club
at
no
cost
to
our
families.
So
I
think
that's
a
real
game.
Changer
they
come
to
the
club.
They
get
to
have
homework,
help
they
get
to
have
a
meal
and
they
get
to
participate
in
all
of
our
programs.
N
N
We
don't
want
to
be
a
news
story
and
we
don't
want
to
have
a
situation
where,
where
we're
child
or
any
of
our
staff,
are
in
a
safety
situation
and
right
now,
you
can
walk
into
that
building
and
walk
in
anywhere
and
there's
no
way
to
stop
anybody
from
walking
in
mostly
either
a
family
member
either,
and
we
have
to
have
those
safety
protocols
in
place
for
our
children.
But
we
are
excited
to
expand
not
only
the
safety
aspects
of
the
club,
but
that
teen
center.
N
That
is
going
to
be
a
magnet,
and
we
are
here
to
partner
with
all
of
the
agencies
in
the
community,
from
working
really
closely
with
the
city
managers
Department.
We
always
have
Leah's
support
in
connecting
with
all
the
other
non-profits
in
Chandler.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
this
partnership
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
You
have
well.
C
L
One
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
the
fact
that
you're
providing
the
transportation
is
absolutely
amazing.
This
will
add,
have
an
added
benefit,
but
one
thing
that
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
in
this
is
that
willingness
to
activate
that
space
for
other
uses
at
other
times.
This
is
really
allowing
the
city
to
serve
residents
where
they
are,
and
your
location
is
so
important
and
I.
L
U
Harris
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment.
Thank
you
so
much
being
a
recipient
of
boys
and
girls
club
and
understanding
what
the
organization
does.
Even
as
a
young
person
I.
Remember,
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
give
me
that
little
Walkman
said
the
younger
people.
Man
I
know
what
a
Walkman
set
is,
but
they
had
a
little
cassette
tape.
U
F
Ellis,
thank
you.
Mayor
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
transportation.
It's
it's
a
great
thing
that
you
were
able
to
accomplish,
or
with
the
compatriates
having
this
fund
to
be
able
to
do
it
and
it's
my
understanding
that
we're
using
a
local.
But
so
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how
that
public
and
private
partnership
is
going
to
work
through
the
busting
of
the
children
from
the
different
schools.
Sure.
N
N
So
these
are
private
charter
buses,
which
is
really
nice,
I,
understand
the
kids
getting
off
the
bus,
call
it
the
party
bus,
because
there's
air
conditioning
and
really
nice
seat
belts
that
that
they
talk
about,
but
the
bus
goes
to
those
six
schools
every
day
after
school,
based
on
their
dismissal
time
and
brings
them
to
to
the
club-
and
that's
all
this
by
does-
is
go
around
to
those
six
schools
and
bring
them
back.
We
just
started
the
program
it
just
launched.
N
V
V
Martinez
awesome.
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
a
household
partnership
between
the
city,
the
boys
and
girls
club
and,
of
course,
the
Compadres
and
all
their
efforts
that
they
put
together,
I'm
very
happy
to
hear
about
the
transportation
assistance
I
to
be
very
happy
and
optimistic
that
this
will
bring
more
students
out
there.
In
regards
to
that,
you
mentioned
recruitment
of
high
school
students.
V
How
do
you
guys
plan
to
do
that
that
they
are
aware
of
the
program
or
the
services
there,
and
also,
how
do
we
plan
with
such
a
long-standing
program
here
in
Chandler
with
boys
and
girls
club?
How
do
you
guys
plan
to
attract
more
students
or
make
sure
that
all
of
these
students
are
informed
of
the
services
and
try
to
get
them
into
the
facility
that.
N
Is
a
great
question
councilman
and
that's
part
of
our
strategy
this
year
a
having
the
transportation,
we
have
hired
two
new
positions,
dedicated
recruitment
staff
and
one
in
particular,
to
work
with
Chandler
high
school
for
our
youth
Force
program,
because
that's
come
out
of
conversations
with
Leah
and
the
school
district
we
meet
with
the
superintendent
of
the
schools.
We
meet
with
different
principals
of
the
school
to
really
find
out.
What
did
the
kids
need
and
want?
N
So
when
we
were
talking
about
our
Workforce
Development
program,
that
was
a
huge
need
for
teens,
so
we
specifically
added
you
know
again
through
our
dollars,
not
through
Compadres
dollars.
That
is
just
part
of
our
budget.
Now
that
we
have
dedicated
Recruitment
and
will
work
also
with
some
business
development
dollars.
N
Our
staff
goes
out
to
the
schools,
has
those
relationships
with
the
principals
and
it's
really
being
there
it's
being
out
in
the
community
and
truthfully
historically,
for
us,
we've
been
very
lucky
with
word
of
mouth,
but
it
really
is
that
partnership
with
the
schools,
the
schools,
I,
think
you
know
what
we
know
now
is
it
takes
up?
It's
actually
a
three-way
partnership.
N
It
is
the
schools,
it
is
out
of
school
time
and
it
is
the
families
we
serve
whatever
that
family
looks
like
even
here
in
Chandler,
about
56
of
our
families
who
attend
are
a
single
head
of
household
they're
living
with
a
single
parent,
and
it's
not
always
a
mom
or
a
dad.
It
could
be
a
grandparent,
it
could
be
an
uncle,
an
aunt,
a
family
member
and
it's
our
job
to
bring
them
into
the
fold
as
well.
Make
them
part
of
that.
N
You
know
that
that
spreads
through
Word
of
Mouth
work
with
the
schools
as
well
as
as
our
members,
and
we
want
them
to
go
to
school
and
tell
their
friends
what
an
amazing
time
they
had
I
think
it
could
also
alleviate
a
lot
of
Burden
with
the
school.
Instead
of
all
these
parents,
picking
up
at
the
school
send
all
those
kids
over
to
the
club
and
let
us
take
a
crack
out
of
them.
Great
I
hope
you
guys
are
fully
packed,
I
hope.
So
too.
C
But
we
look
forward
to
the
expansion
of
this
program,
the
development
of
the
the
certainly
the
facilities
that
we're
in
and
continued
partnership
with
you
all
I
I
know.
In
times
past
there
we've
had
some
questions
and
appreciate
the
step,
our
city
and
and
Boys
and
Girls
Club
of
humiliating
these
questions.
So
thank
you
so
much
thank.
G
C
X
All
right
so
last
year
the
state
legislature
passed
Senate
Bill
1712,
which
appropriated
three
million
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
law
enforcement
agencies
throughout
Arizona
to
purchase
and
deploy
an
automated
crime
victim
notification
system.
Our
request
tonight
is
to
purchase
a
software
that
would
allow
us
to
automatically
provide
those
notifications
and
that
purchase
will
be
100
reimbursed
by
the
state.
So
this
is
a
significant
level
of
service
that
we
will
be
able
to
provide
on
top
of
what
we
already
do
by
automating
this.
X
X
If
they
need
more
assistance
and
then
they
will
get
subsequent
emails
as
the
case
progresses
through
the
process,
for
example,
look
at
an
email
alerting
them
that
a
suspect
has
been
arrested
and
then
what's
the
next
steps
with
prosecution?
What
can
they
expect
after
that?
And
then
they'll
get
an
email
after
that
explaining
how
how
to
navigate
through
the
system
going
to
court
and
what
other
resources
are
available
to
them.
So
again,
this
is
something
that
we
are
very
excited
about.
X
V
G
E
You
Chief
vice
mayor.
Thank
you.
This
is
exciting
stuff.
So,
if
I
have
a
let's
say
my
car
was
vandalized
and
so
I'd
call
the
police
department.
Would
that
be
something
you
would
respond
back
and
say
we
got
your
report?
Call
this
number
for
further
information
or
or
we're
not
using
that
that
depth
or
that
detail.
X
That's
not
one
of
the
11
beta
calls
that
we're
using,
but
it
will
be
in
short
order,
meaning
in
the
next
three
months
good.
So
all
this
technology,
it's
just
more
pressure
on
our
very
talented,
dedicated
I.T
staff.
So
we're
not
jumping
into
this
full
bore
we're
piecemealing
our
way
into
this
program,
so
they
can
have
some
time
and
space
to
do
what
they
need
to
do
to
make
this
operational.
So.
E
G
X
There
are
I
believe,
11
or
maybe
10
short
questions
that
are
sent
immediately
following
the
encounter
with
the
with
the
officer,
and
that
would
be
for
most
calls
so,
including
those
60,
ish
type
calls,
and
they
will
ask
short
questions
about
initially
their
contact
and
their
contact
with
our
call
taker.
What
was
that
like
to
contact
with
the
officer?
Were
they
satisfied
with
the
results?
Do
they
feel
safe
in
our
city?
What
was
their
response
time?
So
there's
calls
along
those.
X
There
are
questions
along
those
line
that
will,
for
the
first
time,
for
us
really
provide
that
quantifiable
feedback
that
we
can
use
to
identify
what
we're
doing
well,
and
if
there
are
areas
we
need
to
improve
how
we
can
approve
so
certainly
information.
We
want
to
know
and
obviously,
information
that
that
you'd
want
to
know
as
well
about
the
state
of
your
your
Police
Department
by
and
large
Tucson
has
been
using
this
since
2017
and
the
agencies
now
that
are
implementing
this
and
again
there
are
dozens
throughout
the
state.
X
E
G
U
Councilmember
Harris,
thank
you.
Mayor
Chief
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
for
you.
My
first
question
was
within
the
I
know
that
they
have
the
link
for
victim.
Services
could
possibly
be
embedded
in
the
email,
some
of
the
services
that
they
could
be
offering,
or
will
that
be
a
link
that
will
only
click
out
of
the
email
for
them
to
go
see.
We.
X
U
You
work
with
the
if
a
person
is
like
for
a
victim,
will
you
be
working
with
with
the
Maricopa
County
Prosecuting
Attorney?
How?
How
would
you
interface
this
with
legal
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
sending
something
that
we
probably
shouldn't
be
sending
out?
How
what's
the
interface
between
legal
and
maybe
Maricopa,
County
Legal?
Are
you
working
interfacing?
Are
you
working
and
communicating
with
those
other
intergovernment
those
other
departments.
U
X
U
Then
I
guess
my
last
question
is
for
like
victims
that
was
victims
of
sexual
abuse,
sexual
violence.
Sometimes
their
information
doesn't
go
out.
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can?
Is
it
sophisticated
enough
where
it
can
be
encrypted?
Just
in
case
they
don't
want
that
email
sent
out
just
in
case
their
email
changed,
or
how
would
you
deal
with
that.
