Section 41-1279.07 adopted to limit local government spending Limit applies to expenditures only Does not limit revenues or capacity to collect revenues Going through by area to touch on some of our larger, notable projects – In the area of general government: -Largest project is the Police evidence facility & southern substation bldg - $2.6 million for 17/18 – this is the property we acquired last year to replace a rented substation space and the property will be expanded in order to also provide for an evidence facility. The budget in the CIP Fund is a little over $2.1M which consists of a $600K transfer from the Gen Fund plus rollover from the current fiscal year of about $1.5M. As mentioned earlier, we also have an addl $485K budgeted in the Police Impact Fee Fund for FY 17/18. Also note that in FY 18/19 we have an additional $600K planned from the General Fund to complete this project -Two addl, multi-use sport fields at Naranja Park at a little over $1M; they will be lit; second year of two-year project w/a total budget of almost $1.3M – you can see the breakdown of the funding sources here, majority funded by P&R impact fees and the Gen Fund and then $100K from the Bed Tax Fund -3rd and final purchase pmt for the Community Center - $350K – total purchase price $1M -We also have $200K pegged for a remodel and new seating for the Magistrate Court – the courtroom seating is in disrepair and the remodel would address space and access issues, as well as technology limitations 20 Formula-based calculation: What is the State-Imposed Limitation? Fiscal Year 1979-80 Base Limit x Estimate by State for Oro Valley = $272,317 Population Growth Factor x Provided by AZ Dept. of Administration OV 1978 Population = 1,475 Inflation Factor Provided by AZ Dept. of Revenue Moving on to the Highway Fund: -bulk of the CIP budget in this fund is for our Pavement Preservation Program @ about $1.5M -Tangerine Access to Safeway @ 1st Ave - $250,000 – this is a rollover from the current fiscal year, or rather a couple of years. As we can recall, on April 5, Council passed a resolution to take over Tangerine right-of-way from ADOT at Oracle to just past 1st Avenue, which will allow the Town to make decisions regarding access issues, and so this project will move forward in FY 17/18 after a couple years of delays Community Center: -finish up our bond-funded energy efficiency project – rollover amount in the recommended budget was about $450,000 – as mentioned earlier, we are revising this amount for the tentative budget, slight increase to $700K – and as a reminder, the debt service on the bonds for this project will be paid with guaranteed utility savings -tennis court improvements - $75K for crack repair, resurfacing and repainting – budgeted in the bed tax fund -continue our cart path improvements – budget of $50K 21 Exclusions to the Limitation Constitutional exceptions to the limitation Expenditure types Revenue sources Examples Debt service payments Grants and aid from the federal government HURF revenues in excess of those received in FY 1979-80 Roadway Widening Projects – we have three major roadway projects in progress – the majority of the funding is provided by PAG or the RTA. Widening of Lambert Lane, from La Cañada to Rancho Sonora – $4.6 million for FY 17/18, which includes $1M funded with Town roadway impact fees Widening of La Cholla Boulevard, from Overton to Tangerine – about $1.9M next year for design and ROW acquisitions – utility relocation construction will also begin in FY 17/18 and then roadway construction to follow Widening of Tangerine Road, from La Cañada to Shannon – $1.7M – as a reminder we contributed $1M of our Town roadway impact fees in the current fiscal year towards this project 22 Estimated State-Imposed Limitation Other notable roadway projects: -traffic light on La Cañada at the Community Center - $500K project funded by the RTA -Naranja Drive – construction of a two-way left turn lane at Naranja Park to provide a dedicated turn lane there and avoid traffic backup – funded with our roadway impact fees -Palisades Road multi-use path - $284K – construction of a shared use path on the north side of the street, from 1st Avenue east to Cassiopeia Drive Stormwater Projects: -Cañada Hills estates channel repair project - $80K – demolition and reconstruction of a channel that’s showing evidence of structural failure, will prevent future potentially catastrophic failure that would come at a much higher cost -Lambert Lane culvert extension - $50K - extend an existing culvert in coordination with the Lambert Lane roadway widening project 23 How do we compare? Moving on to the Water Utility – $1.1 million to complete three main relocations in coordination with our roadway widening projects -Lambert Lane $200,000 rollover to complete -Tangerine Road (reclaimed main) - $200,000 rollover to complete -La Cholla Boulevard - $700,000 – design is nearly complete on that Well replacements and upgrades – -We will begin the process to construct two new replacement wells – one at Steam Pump Ranch, the other at Nakoma Sky - $700K for drilling at Steam Pump Ranch and $40K for site grading at Nakoma Sky -Well E2 upgrade - $250K – rollover from current year plus additional funding for expanded project scope to include some needed additional facility redesign (security, technology, etc) Wheeling of CAP water through Tucson Water system – $100K – design and install new pressure reducing valve station that will allow wheeling of an additional 150 acre feet of CAP water 24 Consequences of State-Imposed Limitation Budget would need to be cut to match State-imposed limitation Revenue would continue to be earned at projected levels Contingency reserves would grow while services would be severely reduced Town would need to wait two (2) years to place Home Rule question on next regular election ballot 25 Alternative Expenditure Limitation (Home Rule Option) In 1980, through the Constitutional amendment, voters allow local jurisdictions to adopt an alternative to the State-imposed limitation Recognizes that state-imposed formula-based method does not factor in a jurisdiction’s service levels and revenue sources – one size does not fit all Allows a city or town to adopt its own budget limits locally, based on local needs, service levels and available resources Town has operated under the Home Rule Option for 36 consecutive years – voter approval received every 4 years since 1982 26 Alternative Expenditure Limitation (Home Rule Option) Still under an expenditure limitation Limitation is set annually with the adoption of the budget Not formula-based Allows for greater flexibility Local control Addresses priorities and needs unique to community Budget is established and approved through a public process Public study sessions Publish budget prior to adoption Hold public hearing on tentative budget Hold public hearing on final budget and alternative expenditure limitation Does not result in an increase or decrease in tax rates Does not enable the Town to spend more than available resources 27 Primary Election Key Dates 28 Questions? 29 30 Conceptual Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Recreation Area Plan Saguaros Viejos West -Phase 1 Town Council April 4, 2018 31 Good evening… Purpose Conceptual Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Recreation Area Plan 44 homes Same design as previously approved plans Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval, subject to conditions 32 Wilson K-8 Custom Homes Ironwood Ridge HS Estates at Capella Saguaros Viejos Phase 1 Ironwood Ranch La Cholla Blvd. N Glover Road Saguaros Viejos Phase 2 Capella PAD Naranja Drive La Cholla Estates 33 History Rezoning approved in 2007 R1-144 to R1-20 Included both phases Conserved washes Larger lots along perimeters Conceptual Site Plan approved in 2014 Conformed to approved rezoning Included both phases Expired in 2016 Previous approvals 44 lots 16,000 sf to 36,000+ sf 18’, two story Previously approved plans 34 Conceptual Site Plan 44 homes 16,000 sf to 36,000+ sf Conserves washes Larger lots along perimeters Building height 18’, two stories Single story restrictions on 1, 9, 17 Recreation Area – 2.2 acres Preservation of environmental resources 29% open space (washes, buffers, etc.) 84% of healthy saguaros transplanted or preserved in place S S S Naranja Dr. Glover Rd. 35 Saguaros All healthy saguaros were identified and mitigated 15’-24’ with 2+ arms must be transplanted onsite 24’ with 2+ arms must be preserved in place 2 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 Naranja Dr. Glover Rd. 1 2 5 36 Traffic Gated community with two access points Glover Road Extends along both phases of Saguaros Viejos Widening to three lanes Multi-use path along south side of road Naranja Drive Improved by the Town in 2015 Naranja Dr. Glover Rd. 37 Glover Rd.
