Information
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 2018/19 Financial Update through September 2018
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for information only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In the General Fund (see Attachment A), revenues collected through September totaled $8.5 million or
21.8% of the budget amount of $38.9 million. Year-to-date expenditures through September totaled $8.3
million or 19.7% of the budget amount of $42.0 million.
In the Highway Fund (see Attachment B), revenues collected through September totaled $868,919 or
21.2% of the budget amount of $4.1 million. Year-to-date expenditures through September totaled
$607,989 or 13.1% of the budget amount of $4.6 million.
In the Community Center Fund (see Attachments C-1, C-2 and C-3), revenues collected through
September totaled $1.4 million or 20.8% of the budget amount of $6.7 million. Year-to-date expenditures
through September totaled $1.7 million or 25.5% of the budget amount of $6.6 million.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
GENERAL FUND
Attachment A shows General Fund revenues and expenditures through September, as well as year-end
estimates for each category. The estimated year-end projections in the General Fund are as follows:
Revenues $39,233,281
Less:
Expenditures ($41,273,060)
Estimated Decrease in Fund Balance ($2,039,779)*
*The estimated decrease in fund balance is due to the planned, budgeted transfer of General Fund
one-time surplus funds earned in FY 2017/18 to the Capital Fund for future capital projects per the
Town's adopted financial policies.
General Fund Revenues
Local sales tax collections in the General Fund total $3.9 million or 20.0% of the budget amount of
$19.4 million. Please see Attachment E for a monthly tracking of General Fund local sales tax
collections, including construction, utility and bed tax collections.
License and permit revenues total $500,516 or 23.4% of the budget amount of $2.1 million.
State shared revenues total $2.9 million or 24.4% of the budget amount of $11.7 million.
Charges for services revenues total $690,569 or 28.7% of the budget amount of $2.4 million.
Federal grant revenues total $101,835 or 17.1% of the budget amount of $596,162. These
revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about $157,000 or 26.3%, due primarily to
previous Counter Narcotics Alliance task force officers returning to the Town's Police Department
operations.
State grant revenues total $18,882 or 15.9% of the budget amount of $118,800. These revenues
are estimated to come in under budget by about $41,000 or 34.8%, due to budgeted funding for
transit van cameras, of which the Town ended up receiving last fiscal year. The corresponding
budgeted expenditure for the cameras has been removed from the year-end estimates for the
Transit Division in the Public Works Department.
Other intergovernmental revenues total $272,364 or 15.1% of the budget amount of $1.8 million.
These revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about $95,000 or 5.3%, due to the
discontinued school resource officer contract with Pusch Ridge Christian Academy. This loss is
offset by a corresponding reduction in estimated personnel expenditures for the Police Department.
The year-end projection for transfers in includes the estimated remaining fund balance from the
Bed Tax Fund.
General Fund Expenditures
General Fund expenditures are estimated to come in under budget by about $711,000 or 1.7%. Of
this amount, about $276,000 is due to estimated personnel savings and about $66,000 is
attributable to estimated operations & maintenance (O&M) savings. Capital outlay savings are
estimated at about $41,000. The remainder of expenditure savings is due to an estimated reduction
in the transfer out to the Highway Fund, which is the result of an increase in expected highway user
(HURF) revenues. Please refer to the Highway Fund discussion below.
HIGHWAY FUND
Highway Fund Revenues
State shared highway user funds total $841,322 or 25.6% of the budget amount of $3.3 million.
These revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about $328,000 or 10.0%, per the
League of Arizona Cities and Towns. This is due to a one-time allocation called for in state statute,
as well as partial elimination of the annual HURF sweep to fund Department of Public Safety
operations.
As a result of the additional HURF funding, the subsidy transfer from the General Fund has been
reduced by approximately $328,000.
All other Highway Fund revenues are projected to come in on budget at this time.
Highway Fund Expenditures
Highway Fund expenditures are estimated to come in under budget by about $10,000, due to
anticipated personnel savings.
COMMUNITY CENTER FUND
COMMUNITY CENTER FUND
Attachment C-1 shows the consolidated financial status of the Community Center Fund with all revenues
and expenditures from Troon and Town-managed operations.
Attachment C-2 shows the monthly line item detail for the Troon-managed operations, specifically
revenues and expenditures associated with the golf, food and beverage operations. The totals in the
revenue and expenditure categories in Attachment C-2 tie to the Contracted Operating Revenues and
Expenditures in Attachment C-1.
Attachment C-3 shows the revenues and expenditures for the Troon-managed food and beverage
operations only.
Community Center Fund Revenues
Revenues in the Community Center Fund total nearly $1.4 million or 20.8% of the budget amount
of $6.7 million. Contracted operating revenues from Troon total $627,742 and Town operating
revenues total $219,931. Local sales tax revenues from the dedicated half-cent sales tax total
$535,362 or 22.5% of the budget amount of $2.4 million.
Local sales tax revenues and Town operating revenues are estimated to come in on budget at this
time.
Contracted operating revenues from Troon are estimated to come in over budget by about $94,000
or 3.0% due to tennis and golf revenues, offset with member dues and food and beverage revenue.
Community Center Fund Expenditures
Expenditures in the Community Center Fund total roughly $1.7 million or 25.5% of the budget
amount of $6.6 million, and are estimated to come in slightly over budget, by about $48,000 or
0.7%, due to contracted operating expenditures. Please note that this projected overage is
expected to be more than offset with contracted operating revenues, as noted in the revenue
discussion above.
All estimates are subject to change. Please see Attachments A and B for additional details on the
General Fund and Highway Fund. See Attachments C-1, C-2 and C-3 for additional details on the
Community Center Fund. See Attachment D for a fiscal year-to-date consolidated summary of all Town
Funds. See Attachment E for a breakdown of monthly local sales tax collections for the General Fund.

Information
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 2018/19 Financial Update through October 2018
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for information only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In the General Fund (see Attachment A), revenues collected through October totaled $12.2 million or 31.2% of the
budget amount of $38.9 million. Year-to-date expenditures through October totaled $12.3 million or 29.3% of the
budget amount of $42.0 million.
In the Highway Fund (see Attachment B), revenues collected through October totaled $1.2 million or 28.5% of the
budget amount of $4.1 million. Year-to-date expenditures through October totaled $824,207 or 17.8% of the budget
amount of $4.6 million.
In the Community Center Fund (see Attachments C-1, C-2 and C-3), revenues collected through October totaled
$1.8 million or 27.6% of the budget amount of $6.7 million. Year-to-date expenditures through October totaled $2.2
million or 33.9% of the budget amount of $6.6 million.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Attachment A shows General Fund revenues and expenditures through October, as well as year-end estimates for
each category. The estimated year-end projections in the General Fund are as follows:
Revenues $39,237,451
Less:
Expenditures ($41,211,644)
Estimated Decrease in Fund Balance ($1,974,193)*
*The estimated decrease in fund balance is due to the planned, budgeted transfer of General Fund one-time
surplus funds earned in FY 2017/18 to the Capital Fund for future capital projects per the Town's adopted financial
policies.
General Fund Revenues
Local sales tax collections in the General Fund total $6.1 million or 31.3% of the budget amount of $19.4
million. Please see Attachment E for a monthly tracking of General Fund local sales tax collections, including
construction, utility and bed tax collections.
License and permit revenues total $630,292 or 29.5% of the budget amount of $2.1 million.
State shared revenues total $3.8 million or 32.2% of the budget amount of $11.7 million.
Charges for services revenues total $903,976 or 37.5% of the budget amount of $2.4 million.
Federal grant revenues total $136,504 or 22.9% of the budget amount of $596,162. These revenues are
estimated to come in under budget by about $153,000 or 25.6%, due primarily to previous Counter Narcotics
Alliance task force officers returning to the Town's Police Department operations.
State grant revenues total $25,164 or 21.2% of the budget amount of $118,800. These revenues are
estimated to come in under budget by about $41,000 or 34.8%, due to budgeted funding for transit van
cameras, of which the Town ended up receiving last fiscal year. The corresponding budgeted expenditure for
the cameras has been removed from the year-end estimates for the Transit Division in the Public Works
Department.
Other intergovernmental revenues total $387,988 or 21.5% of the budget amount of $1.8 million. These
revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about $95,000 or 5.3%, due to the discontinued school
resource officer contract with Pusch Ridge Christian Academy. This loss is offset by a corresponding
reduction in estimated personnel expenditures for the Police Department.
Interest income revenues total $154,442 or 103.0% of the budget amount of $150,000. Potential fluctuation in
these revenues should be expected; therefore, the year-end estimate remains on budget at this time.
The year-end projection for transfers includes the estimated remaining fund balance from the Bed Tax Fund.
General Fund Expenditures
General Fund expenditures are estimated to come in under budget by about $773,000 or 1.8%. Of this
amount, about $301,000 is due to estimated personnel savings and about $102,000 is attributable to
estimated operations & maintenance (O&M) savings. Capital outlay savings are estimated at about $41,000.
The remainder of expenditure savings is due to an estimated reduction in the transfer out to the Highway
Fund, which is the result of an increase in expected highway user (HURF) revenues. Please refer to the
Highway Fund discussion below.
HIGHWAY FUND
Highway Fund Revenues
State shared highway user funds total $1.1 million or 34.5% of the budget amount of $3.3 million. These
revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about $328,000 or 10.0%, per the League of Arizona
Cities and Towns. This is due to a one-time allocation called for in state statute, as well as partial elimination
of the annual HURF sweep to fund Department of Public Safety operations.
As a result of the additional HURF funding, the subsidy transfer from the General Fund has been reduced by
approximately $328,000.
All other Highway Fund revenues are projected to come in on budget at this time.
Highway Fund Expenditures
Highway Fund expenditures are estimated to come in under budget by about $28,000 or 0.6%, due to
anticipated personnel savings.
COMMUNITY CENTER FUND
Attachment C-1 shows the consolidated financial status of the Community Center Fund with all revenues and
expenditures from Troon and Town-managed operations.
Attachment C-2 shows the monthly line item detail for the Troon-managed operations, specifically revenues and
expenditures associated with the golf, food and beverage operations. The totals in the revenue and expenditure
categories in Attachment C-2 tie to the Contracted Operating Revenues and Expenditures in Attachment C-1.
Attachment C-3 shows the revenues and expenditures for the Troon-managed food and beverage operations only.
Community Center Fund Revenues
Revenues in the Community Center Fund total $1.8 million or 27.6% of the budget amount of $6.7 million.
Contracted operating revenues from Troon total $831,954 and Town operating revenues total $291,135.
Local sales tax revenues from the dedicated half-cent sales tax total $715,280 or 30.0% of the budget
amount of $2.4 million.
Local sales tax revenues and Town operating revenues are estimated to come in on budget at this time.
Contracted operating revenues from Troon are estimated to come in over budget by about $42,000 or 1.4%
due to tennis, golf and merchandise revenues, offset with member dues and food and beverage revenue.
Community Center Fund Expenditures
Expenditures in the Community Center Fund total $2.2 million or 33.9% of the budget amount of $6.6 million,
and are estimated to come in slightly over budget, by about $16,000 or 0.2%, due to contracted operating
expenditures. Please note that this projected overage is expected to be more than offset with contracted
operating revenues, as noted in the revenue discussion above.
All estimates are subject to change. Please see Attachments A and B for additional details on the General Fund and
Highway Fund. See Attachments C-1, C-2 and C-3 for additional details on the Community Center Fund. See
Attachment D for a fiscal year-to-date consolidated summary of all Town Funds. See Attachment E for a breakdown
of monthly local sales tax collections for the General Fund.

assignments are for the period of December 5, 2018 through December 31, 2018 and January 1, 2019, through

BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Town Council Policy No. 8 defines the position of Council liaison to boards and commissions, which was created in
order to allow Councilmembers the opportunity to bring Council-adopted policies to a particular board or
commission, and keep the Town Council informed as to the actions and issues of that advisory group.

$200,000 and authorizing the Town to pay the remainder of the project fees for the ball field rehabilitation at James
D. Kriegh Park; and directing the Town Manager, Town Clerk, Town Legal Services Director, or their duly
authorized officers and agents to take all steps necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Request is being made to enter into an agreement between Arizona State Parks and Trails and the Town of Oro
Valley for the acceptance of a LWCF grant in the amount of $200,000 for the ball field rehabilitation at James D.
Kriegh Park. The Project requires that the grant funds be matched at least 1:1. As the total cost of the project will
be $540,000, the Town of Oro Valley will be responsible for paying the remainder of the costs ($340,000), plus a
10% Arizona State Parks administrative fee ($20,000), which has been budgeted in the current fiscal year and will
also be included in next fiscal year's budget.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Town of Oro Valley constructed James D. Kriegh Park (formerly Dennis Weaver Park) with the aid of grant
funding from the LWCF in 1973. The ball fields at the park are extensively used year-round for teams, leagues, and
families, and require rehabilitation, including irrigation, grass, lighting to improve safety, restroom improvements, and
overall to be more environmentally sustainable. The Town submitted a successful 2018 LWCF grant proposal for
$200,000 through Arizona State Parks and Trails to secure necessary funding for this rehabilitation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this project is included in FY 2018/19 ($340,000) and FY 2019/20 ($200,000) of the Town's adopted
Capital Improvement Plan.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (ADOPT or DENY) Resolution No. (R)18-49, accepting a 2018 Land and Water Conservation Fund
(LWCF) grant in the amount of $200,000 and authorizing the Town to pay the remainder of the project fees for the

Town Council Regular Session H.
Meeting Date:12/05/2018
Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development
Submitted By:Hannah Oden, Community and Economic Development
Case Number: OV1802410
Information
SUBJECT:
Request for approval of a Final Plat for a commercial development, located on the northeast corner of Oracle Road
and Linda Vista Boulevard within the El Corredor Planned Area Development
RECOMMENDATION:
The El Corredor Planned Area Development (PAD) site design was previously approved by Town Council. As such,
staff recommends approval of this primarily administrative function as it only divides the site into lots.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this request is to consider a Final Plat for
a proposed commercial subdivision, located on the
northeast corner of Oracle Road and Linda Vista
Boulevard, as shown on the map to the right. Final plat
review is primarily an administrative function as the site
design was previously approved.
The proposed Final Plat (Attachment 2) consists of three
subdivided commercial parcels on approximately 5.43
acres. The commercial design provides two access
points, one off Oracle Road and the other off Linda Vista
Boulevard.
The Final Plat has been reviewed and meets Town
requirements and conforms to the approved El
Corredor PAD.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Final Plat requires Town Council approval prior to being officially recorded with Pima County.
In 2012, the Town Council approved the 20 acre El Corredor PAD, which consists of residential apartment buildings
and commercial uses. Since then, the Final Site Plan has been administratively approved because it conforms to
the approved site design and meets all the conditions of approval discussed during the rezoning process. Growler
USA currently operates on Lot 2 as shown in Attachment 1. The parcel where Kneader's Bakery operates is
unsubdivided and excluded from this plat (Attachment 2).
The dedication guarantees cross access for access, refuse areas, loading zones, and shared parking between all
parcels in addition to the CC&R's.
Proposed Improvements:
Approximately 5.4 acres subdivided into three commercial parcels
Two access points
Maximum building height: 25 feet for commercial buildings
Previous Approvals:
2012: El Corredor PAD approved by Town Council
2013: Conceptual Site Plan and architecture approved by Town Council
2013: El Corredor Final Site Plan approved by Town staff
2015: A PAD Amendment was approved by Town Council to increase the allowed building height in
commercial areas within 100' of Oracle Road to 25 feet from 18 feet. The amendment also reduced the
building height from 28 feet to 25 feet for commercial buildings further than 100 feet from Oracle Road.
2016: El Corredor Final Site Plan revision approved by Town staff to reflect Kneaders Bakery and Cafe
2017: El Corredor Final Site Plan revised for a second time for a commercial building and approved by Town
staff
FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to APPROVE the Final Plat for a commercial subdivision located at the intersection of Oracle Road and
Linda Vista Boulevard within the El Corredor PAD, based on the finding that it meets Town requirements.
OR
I MOVE to DENY the Final Plat for a commercial subdivision located at the intersection of Oracle Road and Linda
Vista Boulevard within the El Corredor PAD, based on the finding that ___________________.

Meeting Date:12/05/2018
Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development
Submitted By:Milini Simms, Community and Economic Development
Case Number: OV1802583
Information
SUBJECT:
Request for approval of a Final Plat Amendment and accompanying license agreement to maintain the existing
turn-a-round at the end of Three Oaks Drive
A: A Final Plat Amendment to remove a requirement for Three Oaks Drive to connect to La Cholla Boulevard
B: A License Agreement between the Town of Oro Valley and the Cañada Hills Parcels D & E Homeowner's
Association for maintenance and responsibility of the turn-a-round, currently located in the public right-of-way
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of both items.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of the Homeowner Association's
(HOA) request is to maintain the existing turn-a-round,
located at the end of Three Oaks Drive. Three Oaks Drive
is located north of Lambert Drive, just east of La Cholla
Boulevard (see image to the right). It currently features a
"T" turn-a-round (highlighted in the yellow circle) and only
serves the Cañada Hills subdivision. The request requires
two separate items, each with their own motion:
Item A is a Final Plat Amendment to remove a
general note requiring Three Oaks Drive to connect
to La Cholla Boulevard.
Item B is a license agreement between the Town
and HOA to establish maintenance and
responsibility for the turn-a-round since it is located
in the public right-of-way.
Approved in 1994, the Final Plat accounted for the La
Cholla widening by establishing the turn-a-round as
temporary. The plat planned for the removal of the
turn-a-round to provide additional access into the
subdivision from La Cholla Boulevard. However, this additional access point is not necessary to manage capacity.
Additionally, the HOA representing the residents who would primarily benefit from this connection,
prefer the existing turn-a-round remain indefinitely. As such, the design for the La Cholla Boulevard widening
project (completed mid-2018) did not include a connection to Three Oaks Drive.
In summary, these requests are to maintain the existing circulation (depicted above). As such, staff supports the
proposed plat amendment (Attachment 1) to remove the portion of General Note 26 referring to the future
connection of Three Oaks Drive and La Cholla Boulevard and the accompanying license agreement (Attachment
connection of Three Oaks Drive and La Cholla Boulevard and the accompanying license agreement (Attachment
2).
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Item A:
Final Plat Amendments require Town Council approval. Final Plats are legal documents, which conform to
previously approved site plans and are recorded with Pima County to subdivide land.
In 1994, the Town Council approved a Final Plat for the Cañada Hills subdivision. The Final Plat accounted for the
widening of La Cholla Boulevard by establishing the turn-a-round at the end of Three Oaks Drive as temporary.
General Note 26 details the removal of this turn-a-round when La Cholla is widened to provide additional access
into the subdivision. However, this additional access point is not necessary to manage capacity and the HOA,
representing the residents who would primarily benefit from this connection, prefer the existing turn-a-round remain
indefinitely.
Item B:
Since the turn-a-round exists in the public right-of-way, a license agreement (Attachment 2) is needed between the
Town and HOA to establish ongoing maintenance, responsibility and liability. License agreements are used
for setting the parameters for private use of public land.
Summary:
The aforementioned requests are to maintain the existing circulation at Three Oaks Drive. As such, staff
recommends approval of the plat amendment (Attachment 1) to remove the portion of General Note 26 referring to
the future connection of Three Oaks Drive and La Cholla Boulevard and the accompanying license agreement
(Attachment 2).
FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
SUGGESTED MOTION:
Item A:
I MOVE to APPROVE the Final Plat Amendment to remove the requirement for Three Oaks Drive to connect to La
Cholla Boulevard.
OR
I MOVE to DENY the Final Plat Amendment to remove the requirement for Three Oaks Drive to connect to
La Cholla Boulevard, based on the finding that ___________________.
Item B:
I MOVE to APPROVE the license agreement for the portion of the Three Oaks Drive turn-a-round located in public
right-of-way.
OR
I MOVE to DENY the license agreement for the portion of the Three Oaks Drive turn-a-round located in public

SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AN APPLICATION FOR AN INTERIM
PERMIT AND NEW SERIES 12 (RESTAURANT) LIQUOR LICENSE FOR RAGAZZI NORTHERN ITALIAN
CUISINE, LOCATED AT 7850 N. ORACLE ROAD
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this liquor license to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control for the
following reasons:
1. No protests to this license have been received.
2. The necessary background investigation was conducted by the Police Department.
3. The Police Department has no objection to the approval of the Series 12 Liquor License.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application for an interim permit and new Series 12 (Restaurant) Liquor License has been submitted
by Owner/Agent Socorro Martinez Borboa-Parker for Ragazzi Northern Italian Cuisine, located at 7850 N. Oracle
Rd.
Ms. Borboa-Parker has submitted all necessary paperwork to the Town of Oro Valley and the Arizona Department
of Liquor Licenses and Control, and has paid all related fees associated with applying for the liquor license ($500
Application Processing Fee).
The Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC), authorized by Arizona Revised Statutes Title 4, is
responsible for reviewing and processing state liquor applications. After meeting the DLLC's application and review
requirements, the liquor license application is sent to the jurisdiction in which it is located for a public hearing and a
recommendation from the local governing body.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
This non-transferable, on-sale retail privileges liquor license allows the holder of a restaurant license to sell and
serve spirituous liquor solely for consumption on the premises of an establishment, which derives at least 40% of its
gross revenue from the sale of food. Failure to meet the 40% food requirement shall result in revocation of the
license.
In accordance with Section 4-201 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, the application was posted for 20 days on the
premises of the applicant's property, ending November 1, 2018. No protests were received during this time period.
Police Chief Daniel G. Sharp completed a standard background check on Ragazzi Northern Italian Cuisine and
Owner/Agent Socorro Martinez Borboa-Parker. Chief Sharp has no objection to the approval of the Series 12
(Restaurant) License. In reference to Controlling Person Armando Felix Valles of Ragazzi Northern Italian Cuisine,
the Oro Valley Police Department has no recommendation based upon the unknown disposition of a legal matter
which occurred in 2008.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Per Ordinance No. (O)11-16, the Town of Oro Valley charges a $500 liquor license application processing fee to
cover the costs incurred by the Town to process the application.
Per Section 8-2-6 Schedule of the Oro Valley Town Code, persons licensed by the State of Arizona to deal in
spirituous liquor within the Town shall pay an annual license fee of $80 to the Town.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (recommend or deny) approval of the issuance of a Series 12 Liquor License to the Arizona Department
of Liquor Licenses and Control for Socorro Martinez Borboa-Parker for Ragazzi Northern Italian Cuisine, located at
7850 N. Oracle Road.

Information
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION NO. (R)18-50, DECLARING AS PUBLIC RECORDS CERTAIN DOCUMENTS COLLECTIVELY
KNOWN AS THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODES, AND THE 2017 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The attached resolutions allow the Town to make these codes and amendments under consideration for adoption a
public record and available for public review in the Town Clerk's Office. This is the most cost effective means of
meeting our legal obligations. Otherwise, State statute requires the Town to publish each of these extensive
documents which would cost thousands of dollars.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
This resolution will make each of the 10 code editions with amendments a public record, which is the normally
accepted practice and procedure for these types of ordinances. This methodology has been utilized for proposed
adopted code editions since their inception in an effort to save the cost and burden of advertised publication.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of these resolutions will impact the Town by the member cost of providing a copy of each edition to the
Clerk's office, totaling approximately $900.
Without adoption of these resolutions, the cost of publishing would be a significant fiscal impact to the Town with an
estimate of thousands of dollars.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to adopt Resolution No. (R)18-50, declaring the 2018 Building Codes and the 2017 National Electrical
Code as public records.

Town Council Regular Session 2.b.
Meeting Date:12/05/2018
Submitted By:Chuck King, Community Development & Public Works
Department:Community and Economic Development
Information
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE NO. (O)18-16, ADOPTING CERTAIN DOCUMENTS COLLECTIVELY KNOWN
AS THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODES, AND THE 2017 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The 2018 International Building Codes and 2017 National Electrical Code contain the most recent editions of
regulations and codes, including an update to the associated amendments. The main codes included consist of the
following: International Residential Code, International Building Code, International Plumbing Code, International
Mechanical Code, International Fire Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Energy Conservation Code,
International Property Maintenance Code, International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, and the 2017 edition of the
National Electrical Code.
Adoption of these codes and associated local amendments is intended to maintain consistency with neighboring
jurisdictions and to reflect changes to federal and state laws enacted since adoption of the 2012 Codes. The City of
Tucson, Pima County, the Town of Marana, and the Town of Sahuarita have either already adopted the 2018
Codes or are nearing adoption. Also, Golder Ranch Fire District is nearing adoption of the 2018 Fire Code and
amendments that closely align with those proposed for approval.
Uniform adoption of the latest codes establishes regional consistency and benefits all aspects of the development
community, as well as constituents. New residential and commercial buildings will be significantly more energy
efficient and will cost less to operate. Essential pool and spa safety will be enhanced, and disabled individuals who
need special accommodations will benefit from a building code that reflects changes to federal law, thus removing
barriers and allowing equal access.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Town currently uses the 2012 International Codes, which were adopted with an effective date of June 14, 2013.
At the national level, Codes are updated every 3 years and are typically adopted approximately one year after they
are published. The 2015 editions were not proposed for consideration and were not adopted by the Town or other
regional jurisdictions.
Staff worked with neighboring jurisdictions to review the Codes and develop proposed amendments in an effort to
maintain general regional consistency. Staff also reached out to the contracting community to obtain input for
consideration by sending a copy of the proposed amendments on September 28, 2018. An announcement
regarding the draft amendments was placed on the front of the Town's webpage that directed those who may be
interested in those amendments, and provided opportunity for review and input. The Town has maintained strong
working relations with stakeholders in the building community and has been transparent as we worked with regional
jurisdictions through the nearly year-long process.
The 2018 International Building Codes are developed by code and industry professionals through a series of
The 2018 International Building Codes are developed by code and industry professionals through a series of
submittals and hearings at the national level. This family of codes represent the latest in technological advances,
code development improvements, updates to design standards, and the latest in performance requirements related
to energy conservation. The amendments proposed are largely administrative provisions specific to Oro Valley, with
some changes that reflect conditions relative to the arid Tucson climate and standard practices. The amendments
are also closely aligned with those being proposed for adoption by regional jurisdictions. These Codes also reflect
changes to federal law, and the amendments address State laws enacted since adoption of the previous code
editions.
Adoption of the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code has the effect of replacing the 2012 Oro Valley
Pool and Spa Code, which is Oro Valley's own code version and does not align with other jurisdictions. It is also in
conflict with some aspects of State law in regard to life-safety requirements, which will be corrected by adoption of
the International Code with amendments.
The 2017 National Electrical Code also reflects new technology and further advances electrical life-safety as its
primary objective. Some of the greatest changes through the last two code cycles address safe installations
of photovoltaic (solar) systems. New requirements are in place to protect end users, as well as first responders who
encounter live power systems even after electrical systems have been otherwise shut down.
Finally, adoption of the updated Codes is expected to have a significant impact on the Town's ISO (Insurances
Services Office) rating, which along with other factors, is used by insurance companies to calculate property
insurance rates. As a result of an audit in February, an ISO rating of 7 (on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the best
rating) was assigned to the Town. We can reasonably expect this rating to improve to 3 or 4 with adoption of the
most recent code editions, as this factors largely into their considerations. This rating will benefit all property owners
in the Town by helping to obtain the lowest possible individual insurance rates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact to the Town is nominal. Cost of new Code books, training of staff, and implementation have been
accounted for within the currently adopted Town operating budget.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to adopt Ordinance No. (O)18-16, adopting the 2018 editions of the International Residential Code,
International Building Code, International Plumbing Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fire Code,
International Fuel Gas Code, International Energy Conservation Code, International Property Maintenance Code,
International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, and the 2017 edition of the National Electrical Code, with amendments
thereto, and to repeal all ordinances that are in conflict with these codes and amendments.
