Description
City of Chandler Council Meeting 3/23/23
A
A
C
Good
evening
and
Welcome
to
our
regular
city
council
meeting
of
March
23rd
2023
like
to
call
this
meeting
to
order
clerk.
Please
take
and
please
take
the
role
and
by
the
way
we
have
three
of
our
council
members,
one
that
is
unable
to
call
in
vice
mayor.
The
other
two
are
calling
in
remote
from
DC
they're
part
of
a
conference
that
many
of
us
will
be
joining.
E

C

C
F
C
Council
honor
consent
item.
Whoever
makes
a
motion.
There
is
a
little
memorandum
from
our
our
City
attorney
that
refers
to
one
of
the
items
if
this
could
be
read
before
that,
but
before
we
do,
that,
I
did
want
to
just
take
a
moment
and
you'll
notice
in
this
packet.
There
is
a
number
of
items
that
are
were
pointing
people
to
our
boards
and
commissions
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
city
members
who
applied
for
boards
and
commissions.
C
H
C
H
H
I
J
K
F
C
D
I
Thank
you
mayor
on
item
number
six.
This
is
the
this
is
the
item
we
talked
about
on
Monday
a
pretty
long
length
and
I
think
most
everyone's
aware
of
what's
going
on,
I
think
it's
just
a
testament
to
our
moving
forward
and
being
a
community
of
innovation
and
trying
new
things
and
trying
to
provide
better
service
to
the
community
or
this
this
Century
Link
or
this
is
not
the
I,
don't
think
I
called
this
one
in
do
we
move
numbers
because
of
the
no?
This
is
something.
I
I
Item
number
25,
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
looking
at
the
one
on
the
online
yeah.
So
this
was
the
the
discussion
about
inflation
reduction
opportunities
and
we
had
a
robust
discussion
on
Monday
and
I
appreciate
that
and
we
have
some
council
member
members
missing,
and
they
definitely
need
to
be
here
as
we
talk
about
more
opportunities
to
to
lower
revenues
or
help
our
community
with
the
struggles
with
inflation.
So
we're
going
to
table
this
discussion
to
a
later
time,
maybe
even
our
next
budget
workshop
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
C
Let
me
see
it
was
David
first
of
the
two
of
you
right
all
right,
so
if
I
can
call
up
David
Fletcher
David,
if
he
would
come
up
to
here,
the
lights
will
turn
green
when
it's
time
to
wrap
up,
you
it'll
turn
yellow
and
please
be
done
by
when
it's
read.
You
have
three
minutes
and
please
state
your
name
and
record
or
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please,
sir,.
K
But
there's
some
things
that
need
to
be
added
to
the
program
and
we're
asking
as
players
that
you
that
you
get
a
facility
where
it
will
be
a
permanent
facility
where
tables
can
be
set
up
permanently,
not
have
to
be
set,
taken
down
and
rolled
away
and
then
put
back
up
most.
It's
been
players
that
have
been
setting
the
tables
up,
setting
the
chairs
up,
setting
other
tables
for
equipment
to
be
set
on.
K
That
has
been
preparing
the
facility
for
for
play
and
then
they
has
to
have
to
disassemble
everything
at
the
end
of
play.
If
we,
if
we're
not
unable
to
get
a
permanent
facility,
where
we
can
leave
the
table
set
up,
we
would
request
that
maybe
you
have
a
person
that
could
have
the
facility
ready
for
play.
K
The
truth
is
you
probably
think?
Well,
this
is
kind
of
silly
table
tennis
well
table
tennis
is
probably
the
most
popular
sport
in
your
community.
If
I
don't
know,
if
you
knew
that
or
not,
but
there's
more
interest
shown,
for
instance,
I
went
Tuesday
to
the
community
center,
we
had
four
tables,
we
had
more
people
sitting
around
waiting
to
play
than
they
were
playing
and
they
had
to
wait
their
turn.
K
So
we
need.
We
need
more
tables
more
of
a
permanent
facility,
so
we
can
leave
the
table
set
up
and
we
need
more
days
to
play
at
one
time.
It
was
three
now
it's
been
reduced
to
two,
even
though
the
interest
is
great,
and
so
we
would
like
to
have
at
least
three
or
four
days
through
the
week
to
play,
and
then
it's
an
extended
times
also
so
you've,
given
a
lot
of
consideration
to
some
of
your
other
sports,
like
racquetball,
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
or
pickleball.
K
C
You
and
although
we
cannot
engage
you,
staff
is
listening
and
they
they
will
have
your
address
for
further
follow-up
or,
if
you
would
like
to
talk
to
Steph
after
the
meeting,
they'd
be
more
than
willing
to
further
the
conversation.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you.
Next
up
is
Mike
foshino
and
again
we
cannot
engage
you
as
an
unscheduled
public
appearance,
but
please
state
your
name
and
address,
and
you
have
up
to
three
minutes
to
share
your
thoughts
or
concerns.
Sir.
J
Okay,
Michael
fucino
1081,
West,
Boston,
Court,
Chandler
and
I'm
also
I'm
here
for
two
issues,
both
of
them
dealing
with
table
tennis.
We,
when
we've
been
playing,
there's
600
people
now
on
the
on
Sean,
and
he
was
the
president
he's
the
president
of
our
club,
there's
600
people
on
his
email
list
that
he
sends
that
wants
to
play,
table
tennis
and
right
now
we
have
I
believe
six
tables
at
Chandler,
Community
Center
and
they
ate
a
tumbleweed.
J
But
we
only
can
play
a
few
hours
a
week
at
both
facilities
and
when,
when
you
know,
I'm
one
of
the
higher
rated
players,
but
when
I
go
there,
there's
so
many
paddles
for
people
waiting
to
play.
It
frustrates
the
players
because
they
have
to
wait
around
and
sometimes
so
because
of
that
a
lot
of
players
don't
even
show
up
out
of
those
600..
J
They
wanted
me
to
bring
to
your
attention
that
that
that
that
pretty
much
like
Dave
said
that
they
they
haven't,
spent
that
much
on
table
tennis
and
I
I
think
you're,
building
a
new
facility
facility,
we're
hoping
that
maybe
we
can
have
a
table
tennis
at
that
facility
or
maybe
expand
and
Tumbleweed
to
have
more
room
or
a
place
that
we
can
play
all
the
time.
I
know
the
president
was
thinking
where
they
have
the
physical
fitness.
J
If
maybe
they
can
divide
half
of
that
into
a
maybe
a
permanent
table
tennis
facility,
so
I'm
just
requesting
more
hours
to
play,
because
so
many
people
are
interested
and
maybe
more
days
to
play
or
like
Dave,
said
it
ideally
in
the
future.
If
we
could
get
a
a
either
a
facility
where
we
can
put
a
tables
a
permanent
facility
to
play,
or
else
expand,
the
cover
they're
playing
at
Tumbleweed
and
Chandler
Community
Center.
J
Also,
when
I
go
to
Tumbleweed
I,
have
a
silver
and
fit
health
insurance
and
I've
been
bugging
them
since
I've
had
that
to
have
that
covered,
because
they
they
cover
silver,
sneakers
and
one
of
the
other
programs.
So
I
called
Silver
and
Fit
I
said
how
come
we
can't
go
to
Tumbleweed
and
they
said
tumble.
We
won't
allow
it
so
I
went
to
I
forget
how
I
went
to
a
tumbleweed.
One
of
the
higher
up
may
be
able,
but
I'm
not
sure,
and
he
said
well.
J
He
tried
to
get
it
with
silver
and
fit,
but
they
they
said
they
wanted
him
to
have
too
many
programs.
So
I
called
Silver
and
fit
back
and
they
said
no
we're
not
very
strict
anymore
and
we'd
be
glad
to
have
Tumbleweed
covering
the
silver
and
fitment
which
is
under
the
Medicare
Advantage
program
and
but
I.
When
I
brought
that
up,
they
said
they
would
check
into
it
and
see
about
getting
it
covered,
but
it's
been
over
a
year
now,
I
haven't
heard
anything
back.
J
I
Council
member,
thank
you,
Josh
you're
playing
ping
pong.
You
ever
play
table
tennis
once
or
twice
yeah.
It's
good
I
used
to
play
a
lot,
but
I
I
know
what
they're
talking
about
and
I
think
remember:
councilmember
Wong
I
put
some
table
tennis
into
Tumbleweed
Park,
but
I'm
sure
we've
got
a
few
more
thousand
people
in
town
that
love
to
play,
or
at
least
dabble
in
it
from
time
to
time.
If
one
of
you
guys
will
take
me
up
on
a
challenge,
we'll
get
some
new
tables
in
there.
I
C
E
Mr
Mayor
of
the
city,
council
and
staff,
my
name
is
Mike
Simpson
I'm,
a
project
manager
for
Simpson
Walker
Contracting,
and
we
are
the
contractor.
That's
remodeling,
the
tennis
center
restrooms
we're
at
tumbery
Park,
and
we
completed
that
project
on
November
4th
was
accepted
substantially
completed
by
the
architect
and
by
the
city
of
Chandler.
E
The
reason
why
I'm
here
tonight
is
because
we
have
a
thing
called
Liquidators,
not
liquidated
damage,
but
the
change
orders,
and
that's
where
we
are
there
I
understand
that
the
city
of
Chandler
have
to
approve
all
change
orders
in
order
to
get
paid.
Well,
that's
why
I'm
here
tonight
and
I
brought
what
you
need
in
order
to
get
us
our
money.
We
have
completed
the
project
now
what's
happening
over
there
now
is
one
of
our
subcontractors
is
Through.
E
The
Windows
and
glass
companies
slow
about
putting
in
the
glass
and
it's
been
a
problem
there.
So
we
had
to
call
in
the
register
our
contractors
to
give
them
a
little
boost.
Well,
they
gave
him
to
March
31st
to
be
through
with
those
windows
and
that's
another.
One
of
the
problem
is,
but
it
had
nothing
to
do
with
us
remodeling
the
bathroom.
E
C
C
G
I
know
it's
not
something
that
I
need
to
do
in
front
of
you
here
and
I
understand
that,
but
I
wanted
to
do
it
here,
because
I
wanted
everybody
to
know
that
no
one
talked
to
me
about
it.
No
one
said
anything
to
me
about
it.
I
didn't
want
any
questions
about
why,
where
or
whatever
that
situation
is,
is
a
decision
that
I
had
to
make
for
myself
and
so
I
wanted
it
on
videotape.
G
That
way,
no
one
has
to
say
well.
Victor
told
me
this
or
Victor
told
me
that.
So
that
is
my
reasoning
for
coming
here
tonight
to
let
you
know
that
I
am
resigning
from
the
board
and
I.
Thank
everyone
who
has
supported
me
in
getting
things
done.
We
had
some
moves.
We
did
some
things.
It
was
a
long
process
to
get
things
done,
but
I
think
it's
time
for
me
to
relinquish
my
post
with
for
our
city
Channel.
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
blessed
day.
Thank.
C
And
I
will
start
with
that.
What
a
first
remind
everybody
that
the
Chandler
jazz
festival
will
be
here
from
March
30th
to
April
2nd
each
day
you
can
experience
some
great
jazz
music,
some
of
the
best
you'll
ever
hear,
and
you
can
learn
more
at
chandleraz.gov
today.
You
may
or
not
be
aware
of
it,
but
it
is
chip
and
dip
day
and
we
celebrated
at
City
Hall
with
a
chip
and
dip
Party
on
Fifth
Floor.
Sorry
to
those
of
you
on
Council
that
that
didn't
get
the
memo
that
didn't
get
sent
out.
C
Staff
brought
some
of
their
best
recipes
and
there
were
some
really
good
ones.
Here's
a
fun
fact:
more
than
284
million
Americans
consumed
potato
chips
in
the
year,
2020.,
that's
probably
three-fourths
of
our
population,
if
not
more
and
after
this
afternoon,
that
number
might
go
up
some
more.
So
it's
not
too
late,
Serranos
and
other
stores
and
other
great
restaurants
in
Downtown
Chandler
are
still
open
and
would
love
for
you
to
to
celebrate
chip
and
dip
day.
Secondly,
today
is
also
pasta.
C
Challenge
day
today,
hundreds
of
people
gathered
at
piesto
a
peak
for
the
pasta
challenge.
The
purpose
was
to
honor
the
177
women
who
have
given
their
lives
in
combat
operations
around
the
globe.
Lori
pastua,
Arizona
native,
was
one
of
the
first
women
to
be
killed
in
combat
during
the
Iraq
War
in
2003.
Her
Convoy
was
ambushed
and
she
and
several
others
were
taken
hostage.
She
later
died
of
her
injuries,
so
we
all
joined
of
today's
challenge.
C
Next
I
I
do
want
to
invite
Council
and
our
audience
to
our
East
Valley
mayor's
prayer
breakfast.
The
topic
this
year
is
youth
mental
health
and
suicide
awareness,
It's,
a
Wonderful
opportunity
to
network
with
faith
leaders
and
other
councils
and
Mayors
from
around
the
East
Valley.
The
date
is
April,
20th
tickets
are
still
available
at
evmpb.org
and
then
finally,
I
want
to
say
Happy,
Easter
and
happy
Passover
to
our
community,
as
we
will
not
be
gathering
until
after
those
dates.
Next
month,
council
member
Poston.
B
Thank
you,
mayor
I,
just
wanted
to
congratulate
the
Chandler
chamber
for
another
successful
ostrich
Festival.
It
was
four
days
this
year,
which
is
a
little
bit
different
and
I.
Think,
despite
the
weather
being
a
little
bit
cooler,
they
had
great
attendance
and
a
lot
of
people
out
there.
I
did
want
to
recognize
the
fact
that
our
Public
Safety
had
an
enormous
presence
out
there,
both
the
police
and
the
fire
department.
B
H
Right
thanks
mayor,
so
this
past
weekend,
council
member
Cena
and
I
attended
the
fresh
brunch
by
one
in
ten.
They
are
celebrating
30
years
of
service
and
among
many
of
the
distinguished
guests
that
were,
there
was
Governor
Hobbs,
representative
Stanton
and
many
other
elected
officials.
It
was
pretty
cool
and
there
there
is
Nate
standing
between
councilman,
racinas
and
I.
At
the
fresh
front,
it
was
pretty
amazing,
really
good
time.
1500
people
attended
the
the
event.
H
It's
always
a
great
event
to
to
be
at,
as
you
guys
can
see.
I'm
styling
with
my
shorts
and
my
blazer
I'm,
just
giving
some
style.
That's
it
little
Style
also
I
attended
a
mental
health
Symposium
that
was
held
at
Saint
Matthew's
Church
in
Chandler.
Many
of
our
constitians
was
there
to
discuss
the
issue
of
mental
health.
It
was
a
packed
house,
a
lot
of
great
feedback.
Cusd
was
there
as
well,
and
so
we
had
a
great
time
to
engage
in
conversation.
H
Mental
health
continues
to
be
something
that
I
feel
is
very
important.
That
needs
to
have
a
light
shine
too,
and
we
need
to
continue
to
remember
to
dial
pound
988.
If
you
know
someone
that's
experiencing
that
type
of
emergency-
and
we
also
this
past
week-
I
attended
the
American
Legion
on
104th
birthday
right
here
in
the
city
of
Chandler
and,
as
you
guys
can
see
Bill,
he
is
90,
96
years
old
and
he's
the
oldest
American
Legion
member
and
I'm,
the
youngest
American
Legion
member.
H
So
typically,
what
they'll
do
is
they'll
have
the
oldest
member
and
the
youngest
member
cut
the
cake.
So
we
kind
of
cut
the
cake
together
and
has
some
words
of
expression
and
it's
America.
This
one
is
I
think
this
is
the
oldest
one
in
the
city.
Well,
it
is
the
oldest
one
in
the
city,
a
channel
that
is
for
sure,
I
think
it's
one
of
the
oldest
ones
in
the
state.
H
We
have
a
lot
of
documents,
that's
still
there
and
it's
pretty
pretty
amazing,
a
pretty
amazing
event
and,
lastly,
I'll
share
that
this
weekend,
I
will
be
emceeing
the
Jack
and
Jill
Jack
and
Jill
event
where
we
will
be
featuring
Young
young
men,
African-American
men,
which
is
like
a
symposium,
and
it's
going
to
be
right
here
at
the
Gila
River,
and
the
mission
is
basically
to
what
we
do.
Is
we
really
help
these
young
men
get
to
their
next
level
through
mentorship?
H
And
so
it's
gonna
be
pretty
cool.
It's
gonna
be
at
the
White
House
pass
the
men
actually,
the
young
man.
They
actually
engage
in
entertainment
staff,
all
kinds
of
stuff,
so
it's
like
a
full
event.
So
if
you
want
to
come
out,
come
and
join
us,
it's
gonna
be
a
full
full
event.
That's
right
here
at
the
Wild
Horse
Pass,
this
Saturday
6
p.m,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
everyone
there.
Thank
you.
H
I
Hey
I
had
a
I
gotta,
tell
you
to
Echo
your
sentiment
about
the
ostrich
test.
I
checked
off
a
bucket
list
item
to
see
The
Commodores
in
person
a
few
years
ago,
cooling
the
gang
I
mean
those
are
like
some
childhood
memories
brought
back
and
I
just
had
a
great
time
and
and
Chandler
chamber
always
does
it
right.
It
was
a
perfect
Community
event.
So
great
catch,
hey
speaking
of
good
music.
I
In
the
dovetail
on
what
mayor
Hartke
was
talking
about,
make
it
to
the
channel
Chandler
Festival
the
jazz
festival.
It
is
top
shelf
and
there'll,
be
big
bands,
there'll
be
small
one-man
bands,
but
it
is
a
great
weekend.
If
you
haven't
been
I
mean
it
is
a
blast
and
I'm.
You
might
see
me
down
there
on
another
note,
our
budget
is
underway.
We
had
a
great
meeting
on
Monday.
We
talked
about
a
lot
matter
of
fact.
I
We
talked
for
four
hours
about
we
really
dug
into
you
know
the
the
meat
of
the
budget
I
think
it's
one
of
the
most
important
things
we
do
as
a
council
and
everybody
brought
their
ideas.
We
used
the
surveys
from
the
community,
so
just
so
you
know
we
are
looking
at
it
and
combing
over
it
with
a
fine-tooth
comb.
So
at
the
end
I
know
it
will
be
another
fiscally
responsible
budget
and
it
will
be
set
us
forward
into
23-24.
I
Well,
hey
I
want
to
congratulate
8th,
grader,
Claret
ricecraft
and
her
robotics
team.
They
are
the
2023
Arizona
state
champions
of
the
first
tech
robotics
challenge.
That
seems
to
happen
a
lot
here
in
Chandler
and
Steam,
and
stem
programs
are
so
important
to
Chandler's
future
as
a
community
of
innovation
and
we're
