COUNCIL COMMUNICATION STUDYDATE:
SESSION JANUARY 14, 2009
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & COUNCIL
FROM: AINSLEY ANNE LEGNER, PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR
JERENE WATSON, ASSISTANT TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON THE FUTURE OF THE NARANJA TOWN SITE (NTS)
SUMMARY HISTORY:
In 1996 and 2000, the Town purchased a total of 213 acres located between Tangerine Road and Naranja Drive
east of La Canada Drive known as the Naranja Town Site. The property was identified fed as early as 1994 in the
Town's Parks, Open Space and Trails (POST) Master Plan as an excellent opportunity for the development of a
Community/Regional Park, and later adopted in the 1996 General Plan as Parks/Open Space land use which
carried in the 2005 General Plan.
A14-month Master Plan planning process commenced in 2001 with extensive communityparticipation participation from the
general public and 38 stakeholder groups, including residents from abuttingneighborhoods g orhoods of Copper Creek,
Monterra Hills and Monte del Oro. Monthly meetings of the NTS Executive Committee ommittee and Task Force,
community workshops, a web-based survey, and 26 other forums were held that were all
open for anyone to
attend and provide ideas and comments. The Master Plan was adopted bythe Council in
p November 2002.
Sub-studies were conducted in the intervening years with a PerformingArts Facilities '
. Feasibility Study
conducted in 2004 and a Naranja Town Site Programming & Concept Design Report undertaken g p between May
2006 and March 2007. Fourteen "Goals" were identified by the Steering Committee to guide the site analysis,
programming, and site design.
During 2007, the Council held discussions and public hearings on how tophase the project and what
take amount to
to the voters for a bond election. The bond question was developed in early2008 with $48.6
. p million set
authorizing bonds to construct Phase I. A public education campaign was conducted duringthe year y ar with
presentations made to community & civic groups to help voters understand what was before them on the ballot
in November 2008. The ballot item to support the funding of the project bybonds was with
. rejected a 3,452
vote difference out of 22,630 votes cast.
BACKGROUND:
On November 4, 2008, the Naranja Town Site bond election question did not .assThisquestion asked voters
for authority to issue 46.8 million in bonds to construct phase I of the Naranja Town Sitepark
. master plan
which included infrastructure for the entire site and all of the outdoor recreation elements. The bonds
would
have been paid for through a secondary property tax.
Since the bond election funding option did not pass, many people have asked "What's next?" At this study
session, information is provided for discussion regarding the options for moving forward.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION STUDY SESSION DATE: JANUARY 14, 2009
DISCUSSION:
Although the following may not be an exhaustive list of all the Town's options, it does provide a starting point
for discussion reg
ardin how the Town Council may wish to proceed with the Naranja Town Site.
regarding
OPTION
1: JOINT DEVELOPMENT WITH ANOTHER AGENCY OR ORGANIZATION
Joint development withagency another organization would mean that the Town would combine funding,
or
property and/or other resources to develop the park. Some examples include:
p y
Amphitheater School District
Pima Community College
Tucson Arts Center
Greater Oro Valley Arts Council
Arizona State Parks and/or Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Department
Chamber of Commerce
Private businesses ( sports s orts stores, galleries, and/or concessionaires for specific sports such as skate
park or BMX, etc.)
OPTION 2: PHASING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MASTER PLAN
Attached you will find a phasingplan for the development of the Naranja Town Site. The master plan has been
split into seven phases (Attachment A). The phases begin at the southern entrance of the property, and develop
toward the north as thep hases are completed. This methodology was used in developing this phasing plan
because of the incremental need for access roads, the proximity to utilities on the southern portion of the
and an attempt to incrementally provide amenities that would appeal to a wide range of ages and
property, p
interest .rou sAdditionally, with the assistance of the Burns-Wald Hopkins Shambach Architects design
g p y
team, estimates for eachp hase have been provided. For inflation purposes, two year increments were used as a
baseline timeframe for each phase beginning with the first phase in 2010.
If there are no secondary pp y ro ert tax dollars to accomplish these phases, the following alternate sources of
funding maybe considered and explored. Although some of these options have been looked at in the past, it
fu g p
may be fruitful to re-examine all options. Outside funding may include:
Pima County Bond Funds
Federal Funding, such as the $150 million submitted to Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford's office for
President-elect Obama's Economic Stimulus Package
Heritage Funding from the State of Arizona
Transportation Enhancement Grants
National Park Service Land& Water Conservation Fund Grants
Private Foundations
OPTION 3: PUT THE BOND ELECTION ON THE BALLOT A SECOND TIME
Although the Town has not completed a statically valid post election poll to determine the specific reasons for
the failure of the bond measure, an informal survey was conducted by Council Member Salette Latas. The
results of that survey are provided as Attachment B.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION STUDY SESSIONDATE:
JANUARY 14, 2009
The general down turn of the economy and the poor timing of the vote
may have impacted the results of the
vote. It is worth mentioning that the general public maynot be aware that if the
bond authorization question
passed, the authorization for the bonds would not have necessarilymeant that the
bonds would have been sold
at this time. Another option would be to wait for the economyto improveand
put the question to the voters
again in three to four years, allowing the park to remain as aassive recreational area as it
p is today.
OPTION 4: NO ACTION
The public has access to the Naranja Town Site from 6 a.m. until 10 .m. daily y (following park hours as
identified in the Town Code.) There is a gravel parkinglot near the center of the
property which allows the
public to access the property, park and utilize the trail system. There are two porta-potties,y p p tees, trash receptacles,
and waste dispensers for dog owners located at the parkingarea. There are benches throughout hroughout the park,
located along the trail in areas that allow for patrons to enjoy
the beautiful views.
The Sonoran Flyers, a local radio control model airplane club, utilizes araded flat area of the he property to fly
their model airplanes. They have a written agreement with the Town that allows for this activity.
Current Town uses for the property include the storage of clean fill for ongoing projects;; a location g J p for the
Christmas tree disposal project; as a large equipment training area for the Public Works Department;ent, as a
location for occasional Police Department training activities; as overflow parkingfor events at Town
. Hall; as a
collection location for the annual hazardous waste disposal program; and as a stain for Water
staging area
Department and Public Works Department projects.
If no action is taken with the property at this time, the above mentioned uses at thero ert would continue
until further notice.
p p y
OPTION 5: OTHER TOWN USES FOR THE PROPERTY
When the Naranja Town Site was master planned in 2002, the community determined that thero ert was to
p p y
be utilized for a park. However, there were many other uses explored (although subsequently rejected) during
the process. Some of the alternate uses included:
Public Works Department Operations and Administrative Facilities
Police Department Training and Administrative Facilities
Town Administrative Offices
Zoo
Underground Aquarium
Development of a Pond/Lake for swimming, paddle boats and fishing
Ice Skating Rink
OPTION 6: SELLING THE PROPERTY
Another option is to consider selling the property. The Town purchased the first 42.5 acres of the Naranja
Town Site, located along the ridge just west of Copper Creek Subdivision and south of Copper Creek
Elementary for $950,000 in 1996. Subsequently, approximately 2.5 acres was given to Amphitheater School

District
fora parking arkin lot, leaving 40 acres. In 2000, an additional 173 acres was purchased from the State of
Arizona for$2,580,000, for a total property cost of$3,530,000.
Should the Town wish to sell theproperty, all State requirements would have to be met. Some of those
requirementscompetitively include com etitivel bidding the sale since the property is valued over $500,000; taking care of
any y existing bond obligations associated with the property; and taking the sale to a vote of the people in Oro
g
Valley.

To those who might be interested:
The following are some thoughts I have put together relative to the Naranja Site after the
initiative relative to it was defeated. These thoughts were formulated based on that which I
have personally experienced in my several stays and interactions throughout the country -
from the San Francisco Bay Area, the Los Angeles Area, North Carolina and a few other
`excursions'. I am not claiming to be a technocrat in this field of community, but I have had
extensive personal experiences relative to it and am bound by the desire to have Oro Valley
continue on a path towards excellence.

CREATE A PARK, NOT A MONUMENT
Zig Ziglar, well recognized business `performance enhancement' expert/motivator once said:
[people don't buy things that they need, they buy things that they want and they buy them
when they want them MORE than they want the money that it costs].And so it is that I believe
that the Naranja Park Initiative got voted down- people simply didn't want it for the money that it
cost and, because of the concept presented, the cost was forced to be a `non-negotiable' factor. In
followup polls,many reasons were checked as to the whys individuals voted as they did and the what
ifs as to the `maybes' if it had been or were to be different. The 'knee-jerk' after the fact reasons
given really don't matter; the whole morass, after huge amounts of money were spent on studies,
consultants, and the like,was simply rejected(as well as resented).Perhaps I am being redundant but,
in short,the`park'was not a good fit for the projected amount of money requested nor was it a good
fit for the citizens' perceptions of Oro Valley! After having mulled this over, I have come to the
conclusion that we, the Town of Oro Valley, need to start from square one with a fresh approach,
one which focuses on a plan that will blend well within the kind of general lifestyles already
established, a lifestyle and environment which not only attracted people here to begin with, but one
that can and will expand our ability to perpetuate it.
One of the `complaints' that I did hear often was that the park, as proposed, was too institutional
rather than `atmospheric' and thus not in keeping with the 'flow' of Oro Valley, another, that it was
too `special interest' oriented and did not provide a `nest' for the community as a whole. One of the
arguments for the `complex' that I heard several times was the thought that this `park' would fulfill
one of the basic `requirements' that businesses measured in consideration for locating or relocating
to any given area.. Having worked in real estate relocation in the early 90s for 4-1/2 years in the
Raleigh, North Carolina area during the time that multitudes of businesses opened and/or expanded
headquarter type establishments there and tens and tens of thousands of individuals and families
poured in because of same and, in addition, that area became a new mecca for retirees, it was my
personal observation that while yes, people wanted parks, they were NOT looking at parks as
facilities for organized entertainment; the desirability of a `park' was more in keeping with places to
picnic, walk, relax, utilize playgrounds, gather, etc. It has been said that when a person or persons
may contemplate the purchase of a house, half the sale is `made' before the people even enter the
front door- curb appeal(overall look, neighborhood, landscape)is the dominant factor. And so it is
with municipalities. If it looks good, if it feels good, it will BE good. Did potential buyers want other
amenities such as athletic fields, entertainment venues, and such? Yes, but they expected athletic
facilities to be of neighborhood vicinity, whether it was school related, school `supplied', or a few
`fields' here and there, along with available `open' spaces in order to 'punt'. As to the performing
arts,the visual arts,potential relos(as they were called)were satisfied that there were many individual
galleries scattered about, that a separate, world class regional museum did, in fact, service the area
as a whole, that the surrounding universities supplied cultural niches, and, too, there was a regional
convention center and theater available to be utilized for the larger`productions'. Too, `private halls',
more localized auditoriums, and the like, which provided smaller venues for smaller presentations,
were very much accepted as satisfactory accommodations for the smaller want. In addition, one of
the most successful venues for the performing arts was an outdoor `arena' which offered a stage and
a`bring-your-own-seating',your own blankets, and your own picnic materials area nestled within the
naturally forested surround(please see attachments). People paid and paid well to attend the events
presented here and eventually and in an evolutionary manner it grew to what is now the Koka Booth
Amphitheater in Cary,NC. It now has a more`state of the art' stage and sound system and has added
some ramadas but has not lost it's family attraction character one bit. This venue started with a
minimum of equipment and only graduated to a more technologically inclusive one as the Town of
Cary grew and the attendance and income provided a reason and a means for same.
In summary, yes people do want many of the amenities (not all) that were (are) offered' by the
`park', however, they are more inclined to accept these amenities as `sectionalized' functions
`scattered about', rather than as a type of an'all inclusive' metropolitan megalopolis.And,they want
them to be sociologically inclusive!
Are there certain functions that can be blended into an area such as the Naranja Town Site?Are there
ways to satisfy the wants for athletic facilities in the Town of Oro Valley?Are there ways to preserve
and/or enhance the unique quietude and desert arena that is Oro Valley? Can all of this be attained
by presenting the residents with a reasonable program, a reasonable cost, and a reasonable method
to raise those dollars needed (not the original $160,000,000 or the `reduced' phase amount of
$46,000,000)? I believe that there are reasonable solutions to ALL of the wants and at a price, if
justified, that people might be willing to pay.
MY THREE CENTS:
Sports facilities are most appropriate IF they truly reflect an overall representation of the activities
of MOST of the community. Must we have tetherball courts? I doubt it as this is a very specialized
(limited) `sport'. Must we have a BMX track? I doubt it as this is a very specialized
activity? What about softball and baseball? We do have facilities throughout Oro Valley
INCLUDING within the schools;upgrade them, light them, and make certain that the schools allow
organized public usage of them. Soccer - probably the most organized sport but ironically the least
proffered in the original plan?We have a few fields around and the potential to add more. Swimming?
We have a little used pool at Kreigh Park. Upgrade it! AND, while it's a bit
'down the road'we have the University of Arizona with more than adequate additional facilities. And
then there are the facilities that truly can make a park a park, those that emphasize FAMILY
PARTICIPANT AND/OR CASUAL sports - tennis, softball, volleyball, touch football, etc. Some
of this could be achieved by incorporating multi-use fields as well as some of each of those
`necessary' specific courts that could be incorporated without giving the impression of being a
`complex'.
Performing arts venues could be in keeping with that which I have described above with emphasis on
blending the physical aspects with the lay of the land and allowing for a casual, family attendance
philosophy rather than erecting some type of formal hall (please review the few examples I have
attached). In addition, I would like to mention that a few years ago I performed in a hall that was
constructed within the Frank Lloyd Wright,Taliesin West in Phoenix. Aside from the stage,the piano
was actually placed in a niche surrounded by rock; the acoustics were outstanding; the atmosphere
incredible!
Visual arts and other displays can be placed in appropriately designed and scaled housing. The
architectures should be of`natural' appearance and consist of simple,multidimensional appointments
rather than of a straight `block' design in order that the desert surround be not
compromised.
AND, ALL OF THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED WITHIN A BOTANICALLY EMPHASIZED PARK
OF MEANDERING TRAILS AND`REST' AREAS,AND DISTRIBUTED IN SUCH FASHION
THAT THE AMENITIES CENTERS DO NOT DOMINATE THE TERRAIN BUT RATHER THE
OPPOSITE WOULD BE EMPLOYED.
So, where to from here? It is my strong belief that the Town of Oro Valley should create a focus
group to reopen afresh the ideas of applications and study those possibilities for the Site as well as
exploring the possibilities for utilizing existing facilities by upgrade and expansion AND by omitting
some of those specialized arenas that target a few only. This focus group should NOT be comprised
of the so-called `ins', but rather should be a representative cross section of the Town's residents,
volunteers who have 'been places', who have lived `other lives', and who might have the ability to
`think out of the box' AND,who have a passion and vision for`doing things right' for the community
as a WHOLE and are willing to recognize and incorporate the'lay of the land' as a factor. This group
should not be perhaps more than a dozen or so persons as oversized groups invite too many inputs
which can easily lead to committee`gridlock',the result of which is that nothing moves forward(this
is not to say that viable input from the rest of the community should be discouraged); AND, aside
from eventual implementation, outside paid consultants should be left out!
Once a virtual conclusion is brought to bear, a topographical, three dimensional, scaled map should
be made available to gain as close of realistic impact insight as is possible.
Attached are a few of the many entertainment venues that I have personally
experienced; I believe they illustrate that `theater venues' can live in
harmony with nature!

TOWN OF ORO VALLEY 2
Page 1 of 6
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: 01/14/09
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: JANE PETERSON, LIBRARY ADMINISTRATOR
JERENE WATSON,ASSISTANT TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF THE ORO VALLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY OPERATIONS
SUMMARY:
In mid-summer of 2008, a review of the Library was put in motion by Town management, resulting in changes
in multiple areas of the Library operations. Actions were identified to respond to the workplace climate survey
comments and suggestions and to enhance customer service without program expansion. The end goal was to
implement process improvement actions resulting in cost-saving efficiencies and improved employee morale.
A Library management review update was provided to the Town Council by correspondence in late October
with progress given on seven identified action items.
On November 19 Vice Mayor Al Kunisch requested, with a second from Councilmember Bill Garner, that a
presentation be made on the Library to Council as information and for the purpose of discussion among the
Councilmembers. They requested information not only in relation to the Town's operations but also our shared
costs with Pima County Free Library District. The 5-year, cost-sharing agreement with the County took nearly
18 months to negotiate and is delineated by the current Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) (Attachment 1).
HISTORY:
In 1997 preliminary discussion began with Pima County to build a new library in the Northwest. Originally,
Ironwood Ridge H.S. was chosen. Later, due to environmental issues, the Council decided to locate the library
on the Town Complex. Starting in 1998, a Library Technical Advisory Committee began the design process for
the library building and the talks with Tucson Pima Public Library (TPPL). It was decided that Oro Valley's
library would have an "affiliate" relationship with TPPL whereby the library is staffed with Oro Valley
employees, would make acquisition decisions locally, and would share training and circulation resources with
the county. Agnes Griffin, Director of TPPL, in a memo dated January 25, 1999, discussed how the library
would operate as an affiliate. (Attachment 2).
The Library was completed in 2002 with the Grand Opening on August 17, 2002. By this time, the Friends of
the Oro Valley Public Library had been formed and the group was already raising funds to supplement the
Library's budget. They raised almost $35,000 when it was discovered there were no funds to put a roof on the
patio. Friends gave $115,979.00 for the Library Expansion Project of 2005. They continue to support
programming and supplies with a yearly donation of over $100,000.00. They also pay for the majority of our
travel and training.
The current IGA, which took 1.5 years to negotiate, was signed on October 9, 2007 and is effective until June
30, 2012. The Agreement retains the Library's affiliate status which the founders of the library believed to be
very important. Community support of the Oro Valley Public Library has been impressive from the very start.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: 01/14/09
In the Community Survey, which was presented in January 2008, the Library ranked at the top when
respondents were asked what services were important to them and which services they were very satisfied in the
Town. The Library is an integral part of the town culture and helps with programs such as Adopt-a-family, the
Holiday Parade, Earth Day, and Investigate OVPD. It serves at the home to the Friends of Oro Valley Public
Library Book Festival and has been the host to other one-time community events in the Town.
DISCUSSION:
Internal Operational Cost-Saving Analysis
The greatest savings identified within the Library operations focuses on the labor-intensive RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) checkout system. During the Council's budget discussions last May, Council
requested information on the cost benefit of retaining the RFID tags used in our "CheckPoint" self check-out
system versus changing to the "Innovative" Self-Check system used currently by the County. The RFID system
was initially installed as part of the County-wide library system but was abandoned by the County in 2006 due
primarily to the cost of the system, especially the high cost of annual maintenance.
While that system did a better job of keeping theft of DVDs and books lower due to improved check-out and
tracking, it was abandoned in part due to the increased hands-on requirements of that system by Library staff.
In reviewing records pre-CheckPoint System at our libraryy, our missing items costs hovered around $10,000.
That number dropped by just over half, to approximately $4,700, once the CheckPoint System was installed.
However, another factor in reduced theft of DVDs may have been the reorganization of the library where it kept
high-theft items under the watchful eyes of the library staff
During November, Library staff conducted a time-motion study that compared the same activity at Oro Valley
with that same activity at the Nanini Branch of the Pima County Library System. Processing 75 reserved items
in our system took 95 minutes with no interruption (Per item = 1 minute, 26 seconds). In comparison, the same
activity took a total of 13 minutes to complete all 75 items processed at the Nanini Branch (Per item = 10.5
seconds). The time savings factor would be just over seven times less in handling "On Hold" items through
the Innovative system instead of the current CheckPoint system in place. With 65,206 hold items processed for
the past year (December 07 through November 08), staff labor freed up from the Hold check-out process would
be reduced from 1,377 hours to 188 hours, or 86% less staff time spent on this activity, keeping the need for
personnel down as other growth pressures and public requests for service increase.
In summary, moving to the County's system would cost an estimated $23,000 in one-time fixed costs as
compared to the initial start-up costs to the Town in 2005 of$177,000 for the County-mandated CheckPoint
system purchase. Our recurring annual RFID cost (for maintenance and RFID tags) is nearly $40,000 as
compared to just under $2,000 annual maintenance on the Innovative System , for an annual maintenance
savings of nearly $38,000 or 95% savings. The pros and cons of both systems are listed in Attachment 3.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: 01/14/09
Internal Personnel Savings Analysis
Examination of the staffing of the Library led management to recommend analyzing the need for a mini-
reorganization of the Library staff. A mini-reorganization is anticipated to occur after the first of the year to
balance out some of the reporting lines and workloads as well as align functions under job titles that match the
County library system. The analysis will explore down-grading a couple positions to better align with the
County personnel system with potentially two reclassifications of employees. Any reclassification changes
recommended will be brought forward to Council during the usual budget activities of the spring.
This review will not change any pay, only take on evaluation of positions to one another to make for an apples-
to-apples comparison of job functions and alignment of titles. Re-alignment of the functional jobs and transition
to titles reflecting those of the County library staff is being considered for two reasons:
• Eliminate confusion whether our job functions are the same and paid at a comparable rate to those in the
County
• If in the future, the Town decides it would like the County to fully operate our affiliate branch, Town
employees would be working in like functions with like titles as those in the County, making for a
smoother transition.
Changes being made include:
• Library Administrator being re-titled as a Library Services Manager, which is a lower-level
classification within the County system, for cost savings of$13,291.
• Eliminating the Senior Librarian title and aligning all Librarians as I, II or III. This would result in
savings of$15,016 within that classification.
Other title changes and functional alignments would vary and be slightly above and below existing salary
ranges, but at no time would any salary adjustment for existing employees in these categories be made relating
to the mini-reorganization.
External Negotiations with Pima County on the IGA
The IGA is very clear on what the County will reimburse the Town for in the operation of the Library and also
sets the maximum reimbursement in some areas (see page 7 of the IGA attachment).
Eligible (for reimbursement) expenditures include: Personnel, Outside Professional Services , some Equipment
repair and Maintenance, rentals, Public Liability Insurance, Telecommunications, Advertising, Printing and
binding, Travel and training (up to $2,500.00), Memberships and subscriptions, Non-capitalized equipment,
Collection materials and subscriptions, Postage, Office supplies, Miscellaneous other operating costs, Water,
Waste disposal, Natural Gas, and Electricity.
Those expenses spelled out as Non-Eligible (for reimbursement) include: Building Repair and Maintenance,
Grounds Repair and Maintenance, Volunteer recognition and ceremonies, Software Maintenance and Licensing,
Program supplies, Capital Improvements to property, Landscaping, any food or drink for staff or volunteers,

any special events, legal challenges to the Town's internet filtering, costs associated with the RFID system,
indirect costs of the library, salaries, raises, and other income adjustments to the extent that such exceed the
percentages provided to Pima County employees for the same fiscal year, and, expenditures funded by Library
Revenues (grants, donations, or awards) received by Town specifically for those Library expenditures.
Currently the Town does not pay anything for the County's Internet filtering system that is used on County-
connected computers located within our Library. Even if the Library went with the County's filtering system,
there would be no cost savings due to the fact that our Internet filtering system is used for the entire
organization and is not solely serving the Library.
In Summary, aligning the Oro Valley Public Library's circulation system with that of the County would take a
huge "non-eligible" expense off the table and bring the Town's costs of operation lower. Re-opening the IGA
with the County after taking 18 months to settle on one may be counterproductive, especially during a time of
economic stress when it is unlikely the County wants to take on more expenses than they already carry. The
Non-eligible (for reimbursement) expenses that we can impact to lower our bottom line are in eliminating the
RFID system and aligning our personnel to their functional titles and ensuring the salaries are in line with the
County equivalents.
OPTIONS TO CONSIDER:
Some Councilmembers have expressed interest in greater reimbursement from the County, and as a result, staff
has been examining the IGA. However, considering the economy, to re-open the IGA at this time is not good
timing and may be less than beneficial. Staff proposes that Council consider the following collectively as ways
to reduce costs at this time:
1) Internal Re-alignment: Give staff time to align Library job functions and job descriptions with those in
the County as an efficiency move that results in savings.
2) Switchover to County Self-Check System: Change over to the County's self-check system and run our
Library's circulation division using the same software that the County uses (Innovative), abandoning the
RFID tag system. This is not a reimbursable expense by the County but will reduce the Town's
percentage of operational cost-sharing through lower annual maintenance cost and eliminating supply
costs (tags, covers, and green cards), in addition to saving staff time in performing this activity as well
as.
3) Pinal County Resident User Fee: Initiate an annual charge for a library card from Pinal County
residents, which our Legal staff says is allowable by state law. We have identified over 230 customers
who list Oro Valley as their home library and reside in Pinal County. Pinal County does not have a
dedicated library tax so there is not likely a mechanism to get funding for their residents other than
charging library users directly.
4) Review Committee: It has been suggested that a citizen review committee be created to study library
operations to use in re-opening the IGA with the County. If a review committee is the Council's desire,
staff recommends this effort be internal to the organization, composed of town staff and elected officials
for this practical reason: any committee needs to be composed of people who have a working knowledge
of the technology, programs, needs and policies of the library. The library operation is complex and
TOWN OF ORO VALLEY
Page 5 of 6
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: 01/14/09
interacts with more Oro Valley citizens than any other Department. We can document that 500 - 750
people a day come through the Library's doors.
If including citizens on a Library Review Task Force is preferable, our recommendation is to use the
already-established group of interested citizens, the Board of the Friends of the Oro Valley Public
Library. They act as an ex-officio citizen committee which serves as a form of"checks and balances,"
routinely reviewing many library issues, and making recommendations. Additionally, they save the
Town money by raising funds to support and pay for some of the unbudgeted needs and are already
educated and familiar with the costs associated with running a library.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Current and historical annual expenditures by the Town and the County are listed in the chart below. The IGA
spells out the maximum amount the County will pay for reimbursable expenses (IGA, page 7).

*For FYI 07/08, the renewed Library IGA revised the PCFLD/OVPL billing and reimbursement method that
had been in place in the prior IGA. The renewed IGA calls for the Town's payment to Pima County for
services rendered on behalf of the Oro Valley Library (e.g., courier, IT, collection services)to be netted out of
the overall Oro Valley Public Library reimbursement from the County. This resulted in the variances shown
during that fiscal year.
Town staff and Pima County library staff have worked together to revert back to the prior method used for
billing and reimbursement, which went into effect the 4th quarter of FY 07/08. It is important to note that the
lower reimbursement percentage shown for FY 07/08 resulted purely from the change in billing method that
took place, and not from the failure of the County or our Library to uphold the requirements of the IGA.

The financial impact of replacing the RFID self-check system with the Innovative system used by the County
would reduce the Town's overall costs, including annual maintenance reduction that more than outweighs the
costs of missing items that may lost or stolen. Percentages between what the County and the Town would pay
if the RFID system was eliminated would bring the costs overall closer to a 50/50 split.

ORO VALLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY INTERNET ACCESS POLICY
Town of Oro Valley Public Library offers public access to the World Wide Web as
an integral part of its research and information services. Library users may use
the Internet for educational and informational purposes.
The Internet provides access to diverse resources from many countries and
cultures that may not be found in the Library's collections. However, because the
Internet is a vast and unregulated medium, the Library has limited control over
information, images, and commentary available through the Internet and is not
responsible for the accuracy, authority, or timeliness of the content. Further, the
Library cannot protect users from information and images that they might find
offensive or disturbing.
The library uses filtering technology on all computers with Internet access.
Patrons 17 years of age or older are given a choice of an Internet session with a
basic filter or one that has additional filtering. The intent of the basic option is to
block websites that are considered to be pornographic. The intent of the
additional filtering is to block websites that are not appropriate for children. If a
patron wishes to access a site that is blocked by filtering software, that patron
may request Library staff to unblock the site.
Parents and legal guardians have the responsibility to oversee their child's
exposure to and use of the Internet. Parents and children are encouraged to
seek guidance from Library staff, visit www.netsmartz.org (National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children), and visit the "Kids" section on the Library's
website regarding sites of interest to children.
Town of Oro valley Public Library reminds users that computers are located in
public areas shared by people of all ages and backgrounds. Internet users must
be considerate and respectful of other library users, and especially mindful of
children in the Library, particularly when accessing information or images others
may find offensive. Library user information is kept confidential in agreement
with the Town of Oro Valley Public Library and state law.
User Responsibilities
All users of the Internet are expected to use this resource in a manner consistent
with the purposes for which it is provided and according to the guidelines
established by the Library. Responsible use of the Internet includes:
• Refraining from illegal or unethical use, including violation of federal,
state (ARS 13-3508, 13-3506, 13-3507, 13-3501), or local laws and
regulations,
• Using the Library's Internet resources for educational and informational
purposes;
Respecting intellectual property rights by making only authorized copies
of copyrighted or licensed software or data on the Internet;
• Respecting the privacy of others by not misrepresenting oneself as
another user, by not attempting to modify or gain access to files,
passwords, or data belonging to others; and by not seeking disaiiowed
access to any computer system via the Internet;
▪ Refraining from damaging or altering the configuration of the equipment
to access the Internet or the software or data residing on the Internet;
and
▪ Refraining from the deliberate propagation of destructive processes such
as computer "worms", "viruses", and "trojan horses".
Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the loss of Library
privileges, up to and including permanent trespass from all Town of Oro Valley
Public Library facilities.

District filtering policy':
Pima County Public Library ("District") assigns one of three different levels (child,
teen or adult) of Internet access to each customer. The available access is
determined by age of the user as authenticated through District's Millennium
program. Under District policy, adult users will have the option and ability to
disable the filter to obtain unfiltered access.
Filtering services to Library:
District will assign Oro Valley Public Library (' Library") public computers a
specific range of Internet protocol addresses. Internet access from Library public
computers will be through these addresses. The addresses will be configured to
block the disabling option for unfiltered access.
Library customers will see the "disable filters" option on the Internet access
screens. However, the option will not be functional.
Library staff will be given a password which will allow staff to disable the filters on
public computers at any time. When the password is used, the filter will be
disabled for a one hour increment. District will change the password at regular
intervals as deemed necessary by District.
Library responsibility:
Library shall be solely responsible for:
• Providing customers with Library's Internet Policy
• Developing procedures for the provision of unfiltered access
• Responding to customer inquiries regarding disabling Internet filters
Disclaimer:
District is not responsible for Library's policies or procedures regarding the
access to the Internet on Library public computers and accepts no responsibility
for the contents of Library policy or for Library staff determinations regarding
when to allow or deny unfiltered Internet access.
The District filtering policy will be instituted upon completion of District technical programming and
network conversion projects.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION PAPER:
OPERATION OF THE ORO VALLEY LIBRARY
BACKGROUND
The Town of Oro Valley has raised an inquiry concerning operational models and costs
for the Oro Valley Library. In considering a response, I became increasingly aware of
the complexity of this task. There are myriad policy and procedural questions that
must be considered in determining the operational future and associated ongoing costs
of the new library under the Oro Valley proposal. This brief paper is intended to give
an overview of models and issues. It offers specific methods to address Oro Valley's
concerns regarding staffing, and suggests elements of cost.
OPERATIONAL MODELS
Two models of library operation are presented for discussion and consideration:
• Integrated City County Library System
The Tucson-Pima Public Library is an example of an integrated system, and '�,

(t1/4.fi
fifty years ago. The Pima County Library District contracts with the City
of Tucson for the provision of library services to those areas outside of the 0
City of Tucson. Library services are delivered by the Tucson-Pima Public
Library.
• Affiliated Library System
This model is being considered by Oro Valley, in which the Town of Oro Valley
contract with the Pima County Library District for all library services
Attachment 2
EXCEPT personnel and materials selection. The Pima County Library District
then contracts with the City of Tucson for the provision of library services to Oro
Valley with the exception of personnel and selection of the library collection.
For this discussion, I've selected four major elements found in any library system
model. Characteristics and a comparison of the advantages and drawbacks of each
operational model are briefly presented.
The system model suggested by Oro Valley would be new in the history of public library
service in Pima County. This paper is intended to lay the groundwork for a beginning
dialogue.
System Administration
Integrated System
• The PCLD contracts annually with the City of Tucson for the provision of library
service in Pima County outside the City of Tucson. The City of Tucson's Library
Department, known as the Tucson-Pima Public Library, is responsible for the
operation of the library system.
• A Library Board, including five appointments each from the City and County, act in
an advisory capacity to TPPL Administration. Library administrators work with
Friends groups in support of community library services (a system wide Friends of
the Tucson-Pima Public Library, and local Friends groups including Friends of the
Pima-Green Valley Library, Friends of the Arivaca Library, and Friends of the Kirk-
Bear Canyon Library).. A TPPL Library Foundation Board is being established.
• Policies and procedures, developed with considerable input from the Board and
library staff, are drawn centrally. These policies and procedures assure fair and
consistent service to customers across the system.
• The library system's operational budget is prepared and administered centrally.
• A centralized courier service delivers and picks up materials and mail around the
library system daily.
• Community partnerships are developed, broadening the library's capacity to better
serve its customers; grants and alternative funding are sought for the system.
• Critical and difficult_professional decisions are dealt with,..including censorship and
intellectual freedom issues. Questions from customers and elected officials are
responded to in a uniform manner.
• Outreach and literacy services are handled centrally, including Bookmobile services
to rural areas in the County and Homebound services to those unable to come to the
library. Homework Help is another centrally managed program with many
locations in libraries and throughout the community.
• A central Public Information Office handles publicity, design, and printing for
library system programs and events.
• Administration presents a strong system voice in local, state, and national library
issues.

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Long established,successful library service model in Central administration could be perceived
Pima County. as remote from outlying areas.
Uniformity of high-quality library service to all customers
regardless of location.
Non-duplication of administrative effort and overhead.
Town of Oro Valley could ask for representation on
Library Board.
Library service to the Oro Valley community would be
customized to that community, as it is for all branches.
Affiliated System
• The Town of Oro Valley contracts with the PCLD for all library service except
personnel and library materials selection. The PCLD contracts with the City of `,
Tucson for provision of library service at Oro Valley by TPPL with the exception of
personnel and library materials selection. 4
• The Town of Oro Valley sets in place the administrative structure for the library,
such as a Managing Librarian (Library Director) and Library Board.
• The Town of Oro Valley, in conjunction with the PCLD and TPPL, would address
and define many issues under this model, including to what level now established
TPPL services Oro Valley would expect for its library and community (such as
courier service, outreach and literacy services, central grant applications,
technology support, and representation in the broader library community).
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
The Town of Oro Valley has direct control of library staff in An affiliated service model would have to be

Staffing
Integrated System
• Tucson-Pima Public Library staff are recruited, hired, and trained as City
employees by the Library Department of the City of Tucson.
• Staff participate in system wide service and program development efforts.
Committees that meet regularly, for example, include Administrative Council,
Public Services Managers, Adult Services Committee, Childrens Services
_ ._Committee,..theStaff Development_Committee,__.and others. ._..__. _._ ._ _..__ .. _
• Staffing levels within the TPPL system provide for library program development,
representation on system wide committees and task forces, training, school and
community visits. Centrally located staff provide support for many system wide
functions, such as Administration, Collection Services, Circulation Services, and
Courier Services.
• Training is crucial in staff development and retention. The library profession is
literally retooling its workplace and workforce in response to new ways of
organizing and presenting knowledge. Training is provided to library staff through
the City, the Library Department, and through professional conferences.

critical issues. branches.
Affiliated System
• Oro Valley's Library Manager would take on some functions of a Library Director in
dealing with TPPL, the County, and the broader library community.
• Job descriptions and criteria for staff performance evaluation must be established.
• Library staff are recruited, hired, and trained by the Town of Oro Valley.
• Oro Valley will need to determine the degree and depth of the library services they
will provide and staff appropriately.
• Oro Valley would determine the extent to which its staff would participate in
systemwide efforts, such as service level committees and the development and
execution of the Summer Reading Program for children and teens.
• An ongoing program of training for library staff will need to be developed.
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Oro Valley would have direct control of its library staff. Duplication of effort in the recruiting and hiring
of staff.
Replication of training programs.
Stand alone staff could limit professional
development.
Level of Oro Valley staff involvement in system
wide programs may be too limited to maintain
consistency of high quality services.
Transfer and promotional opportunities available
to TPPL employees not available to Oro Valley
staff.
Oro Valley would be on its own in solving staffing
shortages and other personnel crises.
Oro Valley could perceive lack of local control in
dealing with performance problems.
Library Collections
•Integr_ated.System..- _
• The richness of the system is available to all its customers; a single library card
provides entree into the entire system.
• All library materials and resources in the system are available to all customers and
those materials and resources can be delivered to any library location.
• Branch library collections are selected to reflect individual community needs and
interests; discretionary materials budgets for branches reinforces this concept.
Special collections and resources at the Main Library support the more general
collections at library branches.
• Materials are selected, received, cataloged and processed centrally. Staff from
around the system participate in selection decisions. Input from citizens
throughout the County is considered in the selection of library materials. An

economy of scale is evidenced in purchases and in the preparation of library
materials for public use.
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

maintenance of Oro Valley collection.
Affiliated System
• Oro Valley must decide on whether or not its staff will participate in the selection of
library materials at a system level.
• Oro Valley must insure library staff is selected with adequate background to make
collection decisions at that location.

Oro Valley staff may be able to provide a collection more Oro Valley staff selection and expenditures.
suited to the needs of the community. Oro Valley town residents'concerns could override
benefits of system wide selection approach.
Library Technology
Integrated System
• A centrally located and managed automation system provides the library with a
fully integrated system: online catalog, circulation and inventory control, and
online acquisitions.
• Circulation services, including the mailing of overdue and hold notices are handled
centrally. Inquiries about customer accounts also focus in one office.
• Central technology management staff oversee maintenance and development of the
library's automation systems and networks and of the automation related
equipment in library branches.
• ATPPL-staff_group, the Electronic Resources Trainers, acquaint their coworkers
with new information technology through branch visits and systemwide classes.
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
All integrated systems and technologies are managed None
and maintained centrally in close communication
with branch staff.

with branch staff. Oro Valley would need to have additional
technical expertise on staff.
Recruiting of qualified staff in this area is
highly competitive.
Potential for disagreement on technology issues
would require additional administrative
attention.
Decisions related to these four elements could be developed further if the decision is to
continue to explore or adopt the Oro Valley library system model. Other areas to.
address would include library facilities and enhanced library programs and services
specific to age level interests, e.g., storytimes for children, homework help for teens,
and highly specialized information services for adults.
Oro Valley Staffing Concerns
Concern regarding the staffing of the Oro Valley Library has prompted the affiliated
library system model suggested by the Town of Oro Valley. Tucson-Pima Public
Library administration suggests the following measures to address these concerns
under an integrated system model:
• The Town of Oro Valley management would be involved in the selection of
the Oro Valley Library Branch Manager and senior staff positions.
• Transfers of staff to and from the Oro Valley Library would be in
consultation with Town of Oro Valley management.
• Input would be sought from the Town of Oro Valley management on
performance evaluation.
• The Town of Oro Valley management would be consulted on special staff
assignments.
Cost Elements
Listed below are cost elements that would be associated with affiliated library
operations at Oro Valley, beyond the initial cost of building, furniture, equipment, and
opening day collections. At this point there are too many unknowns to more specifically
estimate cost:
FULL COSTS TO BE CARRIED BY ORO VALLEY
• Annual preparation of intergovernmental agreements, contracted services.
• Library administrative staff, including Oro Valley Library Director and
Branch Manager.
6
• Public service library staff, including professionals, paraprofessionals,
customer service clerks, and pages.
•
• Utilities and maintenance; janitorial and custodial work; maintenance of
grounds. Longer term upgrades and renovation.
TO BE NEGOTIATED UNDER EITHER MODEL - PERCENT OF TOTAL COST TO
BE SHARED BY ORO VALLEY:
• Collections. Library materials and resources of all formats, including print
(books, periodicals), non-print (CDs, videos, audio tapes), and electronic
databases and CD Rom products will annually be selected, acquired,
cataloged and processed.
• Technology Management. Staff must be devoted to this area for general
administration, development, operation and maintenance.
• Professional services, consultants. Membership and subscriptions for
professional organizations. Staff training and development.
• General supplies and small equipment. Office furniture, computer
equipment and software.
• Postage and printing.
• Administrative and system overhead costs of the Tucson-Pima Public
Library.
• Administrative overhead costs of the PCLD / Pima County.
If direction is given to provisionally adopt the Oro Valley library service model, specific
library costs can be developed as detailed operational decisions are made.

MEMORANDUM
TO: JERENE WATSON - ASSISTANT TOWN MANAGER
FROM: KEVIN VERVILLE - INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIRECTOR
DATE: OCTOBER 18, 2008
SUBJECT: LIBRARY RFID SYSTEM COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Per your request, I have conducted an initial cost benefit analysis of the Library's RFID system.
Using as much up-to-date information as I was able to find, I am able to calculate many of the
costs associated with the RFID system, and replacing it with the traditional barcode scanners.
There are however, a few pieces of information from internal sources and Pima County Public
Library (PCPL) I have yet to receive. This information will need to be collected and included in
the analysis in order to get a true picture of the costs and benefits. Below is the summary of my
findings with all the data gathered thus far in the attached spreadsheet. Please note all dollar
amounts are rounded to the nearest $1000.
The Town purchased the Checkpoint RFID System in February of 2006 for $177,000; a
server/software upgrade was installed in September 2008 costing $20,000. Using a straight-line
depreciation method, the estimated present day value of the system is $133,000. Ongoing O&M
for the RFID system is $40,000 annually, which includes the hardware/software maintenance
contract and RFID tags.
To replace the RFID system with a barcode scanner system (PCPL method) would require
replacing the three self-check systems and perhaps upgrading the barcode scanners throughout
the library. The current cost estimates for this hardware and software is $22,000, with a yearly
O&M of approximately twenty percent, or $4,000. These are best guess estimates however, as
actual costs are yet to be received from PCPL. The recently purchased server ($20,000) and
some of the existing components of the RFID system can be repurposed and deployed in other
areas of the Library to defray some of the cost associated with abandoning the RFID system.
Most of the other components of the RFID system can be auctioned to recoup some of this
investment.
According to Library personnel, staff currently processes an estimated 1000 new items per
month. This processing requires applying identification labels, RFID tags, and a green card (to
hide the tag). After conducting a test with 75 sample items, library staff concluded that it takes
1.5 minutes per item to add the RFID components. This equates to 25 hours per month of the
library staff time to process new items. What is not known at this time is the labor savings in
processing an item without the RFID components, and other circulation issues associated with
the RFID tags that take up staff time and frustrate customers.
Attachment 3
In addition to the labor savings, one of the major components of the analysis should be whether
the security aspects of the RFID system are actually paying for itself. The present dollar value of
the 96,000 items is estimated to be $2,016,000 or $21 per item on average. Library staff
estimates that the item loss per year is 0.5%, which equates to $10,100 in lost items annually.
What is not known is how much this loss rate will increase without the RFID security system in
place. Pima County will be providing actual statistical data regarding average loss rates at other
libraries; however industry studies have estimated this loss rate can be as much as 3.0%, which
equates to $60,000 in loss items for us. While I doubt that we would see a 3.0% loss rate, it's
important to point out that the difference between 0.5% and 3.0% is equivalent to the annual
O&M for the RFID system.
One area that needs to be taken into consideration is customer satisfaction. I would suggest a
study (if not already done) to determine customer satisfaction and ease of use with RFID vs.
traditional barcode scanners. If there is a more positive experience for our patrons, this needs to
be taken into consideration as well.
