Fiscal Year 2018/19 Financial Update through November 2018
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for information only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In the General Fund (see Attachment A), revenues collected through November totaled
$15.3 million or 39.3% of the budget amount of $38.9 million. Year-to-date expenditures
through November totaled $15.8 million or 37.7% of the budget amount of $42.0 million.
In the Highway Fund (see Attachment B), revenues collected through November totaled
$1.5 million or 36.9% of the budget amount of $4.1 million. Year-to-date expenditures
through November totaled $1.1 million or 24.3% 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 November totaled $2.4 million or 35.5% of the budget amount of $6.7 million.
Year-to-date expenditures through November totaled $2.7 million or 40.8% of the budget
amount of $6.6 million.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Attachment A shows General Fund revenues and expenditures through November, as
well as year-end estimates for each category. The estimated year-end projections in the
General Fund are as follows:
Revenues $38,638,671
Less:
Expenditures ($41,122,565)
Estimated Decrease in Fund Balance ($2,483,895)*
*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 $7.5 million or 38.6% 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 $750,359 or 35.1% of the budget amount of $2.1
million.
State shared revenues total $4.8 million or 41.2% of the budget amount of $11.7
million.
Charges for services revenues total $1.1 million or 45.7% of the budget amount of
$2.4 million. These revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about
$51,000 or 2.1%. This anticipated overage is due mainly to previously collected
Court security fees, which are being utilized to complete the security-related
components of the Courthouse remodel CIP project. The corresponding
expenditure for these components is included in the year-end estimate for General
Administration.
Federal grant revenues total $152,175 or 25.5% 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 $33,230 or 28.0% 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 $521,789 or 28.9% of the budget amount
of $1.8 million. These revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about
$224,000 or 12.4%. This variance is due to the discontinued school resource
officer contract with Pusch Ridge Christian Academy, as well as capacity that was
included for a potential school resource officer at Leman Academy. This variance is
offset by a corresponding reduction in estimated personnel expenditures for the
Police Department.
Interest income revenues total $190,996 or 127.3% 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.
Please note that the remaining fund balance from the Bed Tax Fund of $617,856 is
now reflected in the beginning fund balance for the General Fund, as opposed to a
transfer into the fund.
General Fund Expenditures
General Fund expenditures are estimated to come in under budget by about
$862,000 or 2.1%. Of this amount, about $440,000 is due to estimated personnel
savings and about $129,000 is attributable to estimated operations & maintenance
(O&M) savings. Capital outlay is expected to come in over budget by about
$34,000. This slight overage is due entirely to the use of Court security fees for the
Courthouse remodel CIP project, as referenced in the revenue discussion above.
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 $1.4 million or 43.8% 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.
State grant revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about $38,000 or
23.2%. This is due to vacant roadway construction positions that, when filled,
would have been billed to PAG and the RTA for reimbursement. This variance is
offset by a corresponding reduction in personnel expenditures.
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
$65,000 or 1.4%, 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 $2.4 million or 35.5% of the budget
amount of $6.7 million. Contracted operating revenues from Troon total $1.1 million
and Town operating revenues total $363,003. Local sales tax revenues from the
dedicated half-cent sales tax total $909,463 or 38.1% of the budget amount of $2.4
million.
Local sales tax revenues are estimated to come in on budget at this time.
Town operating revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about
$210,000 or 18.4%. This is due to tennis revenues, which were budgeted as
recreation program revenues pending final contract outcome. These revenues will
instead post as monthly rental payments to the Town. Please reference the
offsetting savings in the expenditure discussion below.
Contracted operating revenues from Troon are estimated to come in under budget
by about $96,000 or 3.1%, due to member dues and food and beverage revenue.
Community Center Fund Expenditures
Expenditures in the Community Center Fund total $2.7 million or 40.8% of the
budget amount of $6.6 million, and are estimated to come in under budget by
roughly $270,000. This variance is primarily due to contract payments that were
budgeted for tennis operations. As mentioned in the revenue discussion above,
tennis operations will instead be accounted for as monthly rental payments to the
Town. The remaining expenditure variance is due to estimated savings in
contracted operating expenditures.
All revenue and expenditure 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.

Biography Judge Felix
Judge Felix Resume
Judge Maria Lily Felix was elected as Justice of the Peace of Pima County Consolidated Justice Courts
beginning her term in 2005. While on the Bench, she introduced several specialty courts. In 2006, the
Domestic Violence Court started and she is one of only two judges who completed extensive judicial
training on DV Courts. In 2011, Judge Felix introduced Veteran’s Court as a specialty diversion court for
people who have served in the military. In 2011, Judge Felix began investigating the notion of
establishing a specialty court for serious animal abuse cases and discovered that there was no other
such specialty prosecution court in the country . Investigation included many meetings with the defense
bar, the prosecution bar, the Pima County Animal Care Center, the Arizona Game and Fish Department,
Adult Probation, and leading investigators throughout the country on studies o n this subject for
rehabilitation of defendants. Finally, in 2012, the Animal Welfare Court became a reality. In 2014, New
Mexico started their Animal Welfare Court based on the Pima County model. San Diego County is now
requesting meetings with Judge Felix to commence their Animal Welfare Court.
Judge Felix is the Alternate Presiding Judge ending January 2017. Judge Felix was appointed as the
court’s first Chief Administrative Judge per Administrative Order issued by the Arizona Supreme Court
which she served until October 2016. She is currently an active member per appointment by the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona to serve on the Committee on Limited Jurisdiction Courts and
also on the Task Force on the Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure . She previously served on the Court
Leadership Institute of Arizona and on the Committee on Civil Rules of Procedure for Courts of Limited
Jurisdiction. She was on the Planning Committee and faculty f or the Judicial Conference of 2015. She
currently serves as faculty for the New Judge Orientation.
In 2015, Judge Felix was honored by her peers with the Sherry Geisler Awa rd for Justice of the Peace of
the Year for the State of Arizona.
Judge Felix received her J.D. from the University of Arizona , College of Law in 1995, and graduated
Magna Cum Laude from the University of Arizona in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration. Prior to becoming a judge, s he was in private practice and trie d cases in family law, and

SUBJECT:
Request for approval of a Final Plat for Phase 2 of the Villages at Silverhawke residential subdivision, located near
the southeast corner of Tangerine Road and N. 1st Avenue
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval. Final plat review is primarily an administrative function because the design was
previously approved by Town Council.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this request is to consider a Final Plat
for Phase 2 of a proposed residential subdivision, located
on the southeast corner of Tangerine Road and N. 1st
Avenue. The entire subdivision includes 182 lots
on approximately 122 acres and will be developed in
three phases (see image to the right).
A plat for the first phase was approved by Town Council
in April 2018 and a plat for the subsequent phase (Phase
3) will be presented for consideration by the Town Council
at a future time.
The proposed Final Plat for Phase 2 (Attachment 1)
consists of 46 detached single-family residential lots (of
the total 182 lots) on approximately 22 acres (of the total
122 acres). The subdivision design for Phase 2 features
one gated access point from the future Kai Drive (to be
completed as part of Phase 3) and connects to an
existing access point from 1st Avenue. The plat preserves
approximately 13 acres of open space (including buffer
yards and a recreation area) and establishes a trail
easement for public use.
The Final Plat for Phase 2 meets Town requirements and conforms to the approved rezoning and conceptual site
plan designs. As such, staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Final Plat for Phase 2 requires Town Council approval, prior to being recorded with Pima County. A Final Plat
The Final Plat for Phase 2 requires Town Council approval, prior to being recorded with Pima County. A Final Plat

(lots 59-63)
Approximately 13 acres (56%) of preserved open space, including buffer yards and recreation area
One non-motorized trail easement for public use running north to south through the middle of the subdivision

AMENDMENTS TO THE ANIMAL CONTROL CODE
A. RESOLUTION NO. (R)19-02, DECLARING THE ORO VALLEY TOWN CODE, CHAPTER 18, ARTICLE 18-8,
EXCESSIVE NOISE CAUSED BY ANIMALS OR BIRDS; VIOLATIONS; PENALTIES, AND SECTION 18-8-3,
EXCESSIVE NOISE - IMPOUNDMENT ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE, A PUBLIC RECORD

EXCESSIVE NOISE CAUSED BY ANIMALS OR BIRDS; VIOLATIONS; PENALTIES, AND ADDING SECTION
18-8-3, EXCESSIVE NOISE - IMPOUNDMENT ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the request of Councilmembers Piña and Rodman, the Legal Services Department undertook a review of the
Town's Animal Control Code, specifically, relating to the article addressing excessive noise caused by animals and
birds. A 2017/18 case involving excessively barking dogs highlighted Oro Valley's lack of code provisions that
would have allowed for more stringent action to protect the rights of area neighbors in the peaceful enjoyment of
their property.
Excessive noise caused by animals or birds can be very disruptive to the peace and health of the Town's residents.
As such, the Town has a compelling interest in controlling such noise. In order to provide effective enforcement of
the excessive noise section of this code, it is necessary to amend the code to further define excessive noise by
animals, as well as the punishment for violating this section of the code. It is further necessary to add a section
outlining the legal process which addresses enforcement of this updated code.
Exhibit A, attached to this Council Communication, illustrates the proposed changes to the Town Code.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
On June 14, 1989 by Ordinance No. (O)89-13, the Animal Control Code was created, establishing regulations of
animal control and penalties thereto.
On September 5, 2007 by Ordinance No. (O)07-36, the Animal Control Code was amended to conform to Pima
County and other regional municipal animals codes.
This suggested amendment to the Animal Control Code is intended to address a need to redefine and enforce
excessive noise caused by animals or birds, as well as further define the punishments associated with a violation of
this section. Furthermore, the legal process for violating this section is defined in this amendment. The legal
process being the Order to Show Cause, and what remedies or punishments exist for animal owners whose animals
have been impounded as a result of a violation of this section of the Animal Control Code.
