Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development
Submitted By:Hannah Oden, Community and Economic Development
Case Number: 1901338
SUBJECT:
Request for approval regarding Conceptual Architecture for three new commercial buildings at the El Corredor
Commercial Center, located at the northeast corner of Oracle Road and Linda Vista Boulevard
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this request (Attachment 1) is to consider
Conceptual Architecture for the addition of three new
commercial buildings within the commercial portion of the
El Corredor Planned Area Development (PAD). The El
Corredor Commercial Center is located at the northeast
corner of Oracle Road and Linda Vista Boulevard, as
shown on the map to the right.
The proposed buildings use similar architectural and
design features found throughout the existing commercial
center and conform to the previously approved site design
(Attachment 2). With the addition of these new buildings,
the site will reach build out.
The proposal is in conformance with the Design
Principles and Design Standards of the Zoning Code as
well as the El Corredor PAD. Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval at the August 6,
2019 meeting.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Previous Approvals
2012: El Corredor Planned Area Development (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 the
commercial areas within 100 feet of Oracle Road from 18 feet to 25 feet. The amendment also
reduced the building height from 28 feet to 25 feet for commercial buildings further than 100 feet
from Oracle Road.
2015: Conditional Use Permit approved by Town Council for a drive-thru at Kneaders Bakery and Cafe
2016: El Corredor Final Site Plan revision approved to reflect Kneaders Bakery and Cafe
2017: El Corredor Final Site Plan revised to include a commercial building (Growler USA)
2018: A Final Plat for the commercial portion of the El Corredor Planned Area Development (PAD) approved
by Town Council
Existing Site Conditions
Zoning: El Corredor PAD (Area A)
Gross area of the site is ~ 6.9 acres
Kneaders Bakery and Cafe (drive-thru use, 4,055 SF)
Commercial and restaurant building (7,850 SF)
Three vacant building pad's
Proposed New Improvements
Single-story multi-tenant restaurant and retail building (Building 1, 10,870 SF)
Single-story Dutch Brother's drive-through building (Building 2, 858 SF)
Single-story multi-tenant retail building that will include a Dunn Edwards Paint store (Building 5, 6,549 SF)
Buildings 1 and 2 will be located at the north end of the property while Building 5 will be located at the southwest
area of the property adjacent to Linda Vista Boulevard. The size, location, and design of the proposed buildings
substantially conform to the previously approved site plan.
Conceptual architecture applications are reviewed for conformance with the Design Principles and Standards of the
Zoning Code. The following is a list of noteworthy Design Principles in italics followed by staff commentary:
Conceptual Architectural Design Review Principles, Zoning Code
Section 22.9.D.5.b.i: Design: building architectural design shall be appropriate for the climate and characteristics of
the Sonoran Desert, including indigenous and traditional textures, colors, and shapes found in and around Oro
Valley. All development shall maintain and strengthen the high quality of design exemplified in Oro Valley through
project creativity and design excellence.
All proposed buildings incorporate architectural styles, materials, and colors found in the Oro Valley area and
compliment the existing buildings and overall style of the existing commercial development (Attachment 3). The
proposed buildings incorporate the same stone wainscoting and awning color as the existing structures, which
creates a cohesive design theme for the center (Attachment 3).
Buildings 1 and 5 will be painted to match the existing buildings, while Building 2, the Dutch Brother's drive-thru,
proposes a gray color for the main body with a blue trim at the roof line. Those colors differ from the existing
buildings, but stone wainscoting, awning and fixtures, and rusted metal planters are found on all existing and
proposed buildings and create a common design theme. The wall color for Building 2 is appropriate for the Sonoran
Desert environment and will be textured to add interest and dimension to the facades.
Section 22.9.D.5.b.ii: Scale, Height and Mass: building scale, height and mass shall be consistent with the
Town-approved intensity of the site, designated scenic corridors, and valued mountain views. Buildings shall be
designed to respect the scale of adjoining areas and should mitigate the negative and functional impacts that arise
from scale, bulk and mass.
The height of all proposed buildings conform to the 25-foot height limit of the El Corredor Planned Area
Development and are within the approved building footprints reflected in the previously approved final site plan for
the center. All building elevations incorporate architectural elements and treatments to soften any potential visual
impacts. Specifically, Building 1 incorporates stone wainscoting, trellises, and rusted metal planters along the east
elevation that faces the apartment complex. This serves to reduce potential negative view impacts due to the mass
of the building. Building 2 will fully screen drive-thru stacking lanes and menu boards from adjacent roadways
through landscaping and screen walls. Lastly, Building 5 includes stone wainscoting, trellises, decorative light
fixtures, and rusted metal planters on the west elevation facing Oracle Road. These elements work to enhance the
view from public roadways.
Section 22.9.D.5.b.iii: Facade Articulation: all building facades shall be fully articulated, including variation in
building massing, roof planes, wall planes, and surface articulation. Architectural elements including, but not limited
to, overhangs, trellises, projections, awnings, insets, material, and texture shall be used to create visual interest that
contributes to a building’s character.
All proposed buildings incorporate varied roof planes to add interest and break up the building mass. All buildings
utilize stone wainscoting along the base of the building as well as sections that extend to the cornices to further
break up building mass and articulate facades. Decorative lights, trellises, rusted metal planters, and awnings are
incorporated into all buildings to provide articulation, depth, and visual interest while creating a cohesive design.
Building 1 incorporates a covered patio on the south side of the building which creates variation in the wall plane
and adds dimension to the facade. This building also proposes steel canopies on the west elevation to create depth
and shade for pedestrians. Buildings 1 and 5 utilize numerous windows along the primary entry facades, creating
interest and breaking up the mass of the west and east elevations. Additionally, Building 5 incorporates opaque
windows on the west facade facing Oracle Road to add articulation. All of these elements work together to fully
articulate building facades and contribute to the character of the structures.
Design Standards Analysis
The proposed buildings are in conformance with the Design Standards found in Addendum A of the Town Zoning
Code by providing four sided architecture, articulated facades, varied roof planes, and a varied material and color
pallette that is consistent with the existing commercial building designs.
The mass of the proposed buildings are minimized by using windows, awnings, trellises, and stone wainscoting as
an architectural element at the base of the buildings and extending to the roof line. The overall design of the
buildings compliments the color, massing, and materials of existing structures at the El Corredor Commercial
Center
El Corredor Planned Area Development (PAD)
All proposed buildings meet the architectural standards of the El Corredor PAD. Specifications include the
screening of all roof mounted electrical equipment to the greatest extent feasible, the screening of service
entrances and that they are painted to match the existing buildings, and that the entire district shall be designed in a
southwestern architectural style with an integrated design theme through the use of similar materials, shapes,
details and colors.
Summary and Recommendation
This proposal is consistent with both the Design Principles and Design Standards of the Zoning Code as well as the
El Corredor PAD.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the application on August 6, 2019 and has recommended
approval. The staff report and draft meeting minutes can be found in Attachments 4 and 5.

Project Narrative
This Conceptual Architecture submittal consists of three pad buildings that will finish out the El Corredor
commercial development at 9600 N Oracle Road on the northeast corner of Oracle Road and Linda
Vista Boulevard. The revised development plan (Revision #1, completed by Cypress Civil
Development) was approved officially in March, 2016. An updated development plan is underway. The
site plan submitted herewith reflects the minor changes to be included in the revised DP. On the
approved DP, the three pad buildings are illustrated and described as 1-story buildings. These are
labeled Buildings 1, 2, and 5.
To the east of El Corredor site is a fully developed apartment complex. Two commercial buildings are
located on the site including a Kneaders restaurant and a multi-tenant building. To the west of the
site is Oracle Road with a mostly undeveloped piece of land further to the west of the road. South of
Linda Vista are sports fields.
The maximum height of buildings on the site per Ordinance No. (0)15-11 is 25 feet. All of the
buildings proposed meet this requirement.
Building 1 will be an approximately 10,800 square foot multi-tenant building with retail and restaurant
uses and a patio area at the south end. Maximum building height will be 25 feet.
Building 2 will be a drive thru coffee establishment of approximately 855 square feet. Enhanced
landscaping will be provided in the street landscape border as required. Maximum building height will
be approximately 21’-4”.
Building 5 will be an approximately 6,500 square foot, 25 foot high, multi-tenant retail building.
Site Design: For this project, the buildings are located within the general footprints shown on the
approved DP. The parking field is essentially the same as approved.
Conceptual Design: We are proposing a contemporary design with earth-toned buildings with a stone
wainscots and piers. The wall field will be painted smooth stucco or EIFS. Sun control overhangs will
be provided and add visual and colorful interest. This designs may be tweaked as more information is
provided about interior needs.
Signs: Signs will represent the tenant corporate logos in color and design and will be located on
appropriate wall locations as required.
Screening: Mechanical equipment will be fully screened by roof parapets. The refuse container is as
shown on the approved DP. All utilities will be underground.

Planning & Zoning Commission AGENDA ITEM: 2.
Meeting Date:08/06/2019
Requested by:Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development
Case Number: 1901338
SUBJECT:
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REQUEST FOR CONCEPTUAL ARCHITECTURE FOR THREE
NEW COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AT THE El CORREDOR COMMERCIAL CENTER, LOCATED NORTHEAST
OF ORACLE ROAD AND LINDA VISTA BOULEVARD, 1901338
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this request is to consider Conceptual
Architecture for the addition of three new commercial
buildings within the commercial portion of the El Corredor
Planned Area Development (PAD). The El Corredor
Commercial Center is located at the northeast corner of
Oracle Road and Linda Vista Boulevard, as shown on the
map to the right.
The proposed buildings use similar architectural and
design features found throughout the existing commercial
center and conform to previously approved site design
(Attachment 2). With the addition of these new buildings,
El Corredor Commercial will reach build out.
The proposal is in conformance with the Design
Principles and Design Standards of the Zoning Code as
well as the El Corredor PAD, and staff recommends
approval.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Previous Approvals
2012: El Corredor Planned Area Development (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

Existing Site Conditions
Zoning: El Corredor PAD (Area A)
Gross area of the El Corredor Commercial Center is ~6.9 acres
Kneaders Bakery and Cafe (drive-thru use, 4,055 SF)
Commercial and restaurant building (7,850 SF)
Three vacant building pad's
Proposed New Improvements
Single-story multi-tenant restaurant and retail building (Building 1, 10,870 SF)
Single-story Dutch Brother's drive-through building (Building 2, 858 SF)
Single-story multi-tenant retail building that will include Dunn Edwards Paint (Building 5, 6,549 SF)
Proposed Buildings 1 and 2 will be located at the north end of the property (Attachment 1). Building 5 will be
located at the southwest area of the property adjacent to Linda Vista Boulevard. The size, location, and design of
the proposed buildings substantially conform to the previously approved site plan (Attachment 2).
Conceptual architecture applications are reviewed for their conformance with the design principles and standards
of the Zoning Code. The following is a list of noteworthy Design Principles in italics followed by staff commentary:
Conceptual Architectural Design Review Principles, Zoning Code
Section 22.9.D.5.b.i: Design: building architectural design shall be appropriate for the climate and
characteristics of the Sonoran Desert, including indigenous and traditional textures, colors, and shapes
found in and around Oro Valley. All development shall maintain and strengthen the high quality of design
exemplified in Oro Valley through project creativity and design excellence.
All proposed buildings incorporate architectural styles, materials, and colors found in the Oro Valley area and
compliment the existing buildings and overall style of the El Corredor commercial development (Attachment 3).
Buildings 1 and 5 will be painted the same color as the existing buildings, which includes the main body and
cornices. All proposed buildings incorporate the same stone wainscoting and awning color as the existing
structures, which creates a cohesive design theme for the center (Attachment 3).
Building 2, the Dutch Brother's drive-thru, proposes a gray color for the main body with a blue trim at the roof line.
While these colors differ from the existing buildings, the stone wainscoting, awning and fixtures, and rusted metal
planters are found on all existing and proposed buildings to create a common design theme. The wall color for
Building 2 is appropriate for the Sonoran Desert environment and will be textured to add interest and dimension to
the facades.
Section 22.9.D.5.b.ii: Scale, Height and Mass: building scale, height and mass shall be consistent with
the Town-approved intensity of the site, designated scenic corridors, and valued mountain views.
Buildings shall be designed to respect the scale of adjoining areas and should mitigate the negative and
functional impacts that arise from scale, bulk and mass.
The height of all proposed buildings conform to the 25-foot height limit of the El Corredor Commercial center and
are within the approved building footprints reflected in the final site plan for the center. All building elevations
incorporate architectural elements to mitigate for impacts from building size. Specifically, Building 1 incorporates
stone wainscoting, trellises, and rusted metal planters along the east elevation that faces the apartment complex.
This serves to mitigate potential negative view impacts due to the mass of the building. Building 2 is required to
have full screening of the drive-thru stacking lanes and menu boards through landscaping and screen walls per
the Zoning Code. Lastly, Building 5 includes stone wainscoting, trellises, decorative light fixtures, and rusted metal
planters on the west elevation facing Oracle Road. These elements work to enhance the view from the public
roadway.
Section 22.9.D.5.b.iii: Facade Articulation: all building facades shall be fully articulated, including
variation in building massing, roof planes, wall planes, and surface articulation. Architectural elements
including, but not limited to, overhangs, trellises, projections, awnings, insets, material, and texture shall
8/5/2019 Print Staff Report
https://destinyhosted.com/print_ag_memo.cfm?seq=2945&rev_num=0&mode=External&reloaded=true&id=67682 3/3
be used to create visual interest that contributes to a building’s character.
All proposed buildings incorporate varied roof planes to add interest and break up the building mass. All buildings
utilize stone wainscoting along the base of the building as well as sections that extend to the cornices to further
break up building mass and articulate facades. Decorative lights, trellises, rusted metal planters, and awnings are
incorporated into all buildings to provide articulation, depth, and visual interest while creating a cohesive design.
Building 1 incorporates a covered patio on the south side of the building which creates variation in the wall plane
and adds dimension to the facade. This building also proposes steel canopies on the west elevation to create
depth and shade for pedestrians. Buildings 1 and 5 utilize numerous windows along the primary entry facades,
creating interest and breaking up the mass on the west and east elevations. All of these elements work together to
fully articulate building facades and contribute to the character of the structures.
Design Standards Analysis
The proposed buildings are in conformance with the Design Standards found in Addendum A of the Town Zoning
Code by providing four sided architecture, articulated facades, varied roof planes, and a varied material and color
pallette that works with the existing commercial building designs.
The mass of the proposed buildings are minimized by using windows, awnings, trellises, and stone wainscoting
as an architectural element at the base of the buildings and extending to the roof line. The overall design of the
buildings compliments the existing color, massing, and materials of existing structures at the El Corredor
Commercial Center.
Summary and Recommendation
This proposal is consistent with both the Design Principles and Design Standards of the Zoning Code. As such,
staff recommends approval.

ITEM 1.A
SUBJECT
1. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE TOWN OF ORO VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER
AND GOLF OPERATIONS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:
A. INITIATION OF EFFORTS TO REZONE THE TOWN OWNED GOLF COURSES
RECOMMENDATION
If a rezoning action is initiated, staff requests clear articulation of the purpose and objectives. This will
help inform the community and necessary staff work.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the current Your Voice, Our Future General Plan
land use designation, multitude of zoning districts currently applied to the Town owned golf courses,
and the anticipated rezoning process and four month timeline
Depending on the Town Councils goals and objectives, the Town’s current “Parks & Open Space” district
may be an appropriate new zoning district. This district would require concurrent update to recognize
the current golf course use.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION
1. Your Voice, Our Future General Plan
As indicated in Attachment 1, the current land use designation for all Town owned courses is Resort and
Golf Course (RGC). Below is the quoted purpose:
“This designation represents areas where resorts, country clubs and golf courses are appropriate. Resorts
may include hotel accommodations, restaurants, health clubs and recreational facilities. Country clubs do
not include hotel accommodations. Golf course may include specific ancillary golf-related activities such
as clubhouses, driving ranges, storage yards and short term residential.”
This designation provides considerably leeway to accommodate uses typically associated with “resorts,
country clubs, and golf courses.” This includes “recreational facilities” – so it enables various types of
parks, trails and open space. As indicated in the General Plan Land Use Designations and Zoning Table
(pg.49), “Multiple zoning designations may apply”.
2. Zoning
Current Zoning
The current zoning designations are depicted in Attachment 2. The zoning in proximity to the
Community Center is distinct compared to the district used on the Pusch X-9 Golf Course.
The Community Center area golf courses were zoned El Conquistador Planned Area Development (PAD)
in 1983. This PAD zoning includes four different sub districts or “areas”. All include residential uses, golf
courses, recreational facilities etc. Each is depicted and further described in Attachment 2.
The Pusch X-9 golf courses are zoned R-4R, Resort District. Its purpose is as follows:
“The Resort District is intended primarily to provide for accommodations for seasonal visitors. The
controlled access, deep setbacks, and landscaping requirements are intended to enhance the value,
safety, and aesthetic quality of both the highway frontage and the adjacent property.”
The permitted uses reflects current development in the Pusch X-9 area, including the resort, patio
homes etc. Attachment 2 includes a list.
Utility of Zoning
Under the U.S. and Arizona Constitutions, government is permitted to use its property for
“public purposes”. Furthermore, case law has interpreted this to mean all such use supersedes zoning.
As a result, zoning on Town owned property utilized for “public purposes” is legally relegated to an
expression of Town policy. On the other hand, zoning becomes a legal requirement if the Town ever
considers uses beyond the parameters of “public purpose”, sale etc.
3. Anticipated rezoning process and timeline
Section 22.15F, Public Participation, of the zoning code includes standards for the number, public notice,
etc. for neighborhood meetings. A minimum of two is required for a project of this size and importance.
Assuming the intent is to rezone and only enable golf, recreational uses and open space, then two
neighborhood meetings may be sufficient. A broad overview of steps is outlined below:
1. Preparation of documents
2. Community and neighbor notice for neighborhood meetings
3. Neighborhood meeting #1 at the Community Center
4. Neighborhood meeting #2 at the El Conquistador Resort
5. Notice and reports for public hearings
6. Planning & Zoning Commission public hearing
7. Town Council public hearing
A timeline of four months is anticipated. This assumes that the number of neighborhood and Planning &
Zoning Commission meetings are sufficient.

Memorandum
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Mary Jacobs, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Follow-up Information on a No-Golf Option, Consolidated Information from
5/24/19 Golf Memorandum, and 10-year Projections
Date: July 8, 2019
This memorandum is a follow-up to my May 24, 2019 memorandum on financial projections for
golf course options. It includes: a no-golf option projection; a consolidated table of all options;
and a 10-year summary projection of costs for each of the four scenarios. The May 24
memorandum is attached for your reference.
No-Golf Option
Per the Town Council’s request, staff has developed a range of estimated costs for a no-golf
option for the Town’s 36 hole Conquistador and Cañada courses. The annual cost to operate is
dependent upon the manner in which the property is repurposed, and based upon three
hypothetical scenarios, can range from $744,376-$1,149,961 in years 1-5, and $420,258-
$975,529 in year 6 and beyond. The difference in cost for years 1-5 vs. year 6+ is the temporary
irrigation required for the first five years for natural open space - $4,889 vs. $2,361 per acre.
This option does not include a cost estimate for no-golf at Pusch Ridge as HSL has the
opportunity to lease the course if the Town discontinues golf, and has tentatively expressed
interest in doing so if such a decision is made. The detailed spreadsheet can be found in the far
right column of Attachment 1, the consolidated Table of Options.
Key revenue/expense assumptions in this financial projection include:
Holes that would be used for non-golf are projected for uses that meet the requirements
of the Purchase and Sales Agreement: open space or recreation. Without a significant
planning effort and outside professional assistance, coupled with community input, it is
difficult to pin down these costs with greater certainty. Therefore, staff used three
hypothetical scenarios for no-golf and for the other applicable golf options (more
information on calculations of these scenarios are found below):
Scenario 1: 100% natural open space
Scenario 2: 75% natural open space and 25% public park space
Scenario 3: 50% natural open space and 50% public park space
No revenues were projected for this option because the Town does not charge for most
public park facilities.
The holes south of Lambert Lane that are on a Town easement are included in the
financial projection.
July 8, 2019 Memorandum to Council
Page 2
The following table summarizes the major pros/cons for a no-golf option:
MAJOR PROS
Provides an opportunity to utilize several
hundred acres of land in the center of
town for active and passive recreation for
the entire community.
Eliminates the need to use certain spaces
at the community center to support a golf
operation (e.g. pro shop, golf offices, full-
service restaurant, locker rooms, etc.),
freeing up that space for other community
uses.
Frees up land around the community
center for potential future expansion.
Significantly reduces the amount of
effluent needed to maintain the acreage.
MAJOR CONS
Many of the neighborhoods around the
potential future open space/recreation
areas are gated or have private streets,
challenging public access.
Impacts amount of effluent
purchased/delivered by Water Utility,
which likely will result in an increase in
reclaimed rates, or alternatively a subsidy
by potable water customers to keep
reclaimed rate increases reasonable.
Potential negative impact on home values
adjacent to the current golf courses,
particularly during projected 4-8 year
maturation period of vegetation.
Leaves just one 18-hole public golf
course in the Town limits (The Views
owned and operated by Sun City).
Cañada holes 10-14 south of Lambert are
on a town easement on property owned
by the adjacent HOA.
Table of Options
Attachment 1 is a consolidated table showing the four basic options for the 36-hole golf course
area. The table also includes a line at the bottom adding in the cost of continuing to operate the
Pusch Ridge course (net sales tax support and projected capital investment) for each of the
options.
The following information is provided to explain the parameters of the summary, as some
assumptions and hypotheticals had to be made to put this together. All of the foundational
information was taken from my May 24 memorandum.
Golf Course Annual O&M Costs and Revenues
The Table of Options includes the same cost ranges for operating golf from the
memorandum. No cost escalation was included in this table as it reflects a single year
snapshot. For an apples-to-apples comparison, the annual operating costs and
revenues only reflect the first year of full operation following the assumed capital
investment.
Non-Golf Estimated O&M Costs
The three hypothetical scenarios noted on the previous page are the foundation for the
non-golf estimated O&M costs.
For on-going O&M, the cost of maintaining natural open space was calculated using the
per acre cost specified in the memorandum. This estimate is divided into years 1-5 at
$4,889/acre and year 6 and beyond at $2,361/acre.
July 8, 2019 Memorandum to Council
Page 3
The annual O&M costs for public park space were also based upon the per acre cost
outlined in the memorandum, which ranged from $5,100 per acre to $8,600 per acre
based upon level of service.
To make the O&M calculations, staff did not make an assumption regarding which
course(s) would be impacted. As noted in the memorandum, there are 73.5 irrigated
acres on the Conquistador course and 64.5 irrigated acres on the Cañada course. The
range of projected O&M costs were calculated as follows:
For a single 18 hole course, staff used the range of 64.5 - 73.5 acres multiplied
by the per acre cost for years 1-5 and then the per acre cost for years 6+. Added
to that total was an estimated 20 acres multiplied by the lower per acre cost to
account for the natural open space perimeter of the golf courses that exists
today. The perimeter maintenance cost was consistent for all three Scenarios.
For public park space, staff also used the irrigated acreage range of 64.5 – 73.5
and applied the appropriate percentage based upon the particular scenario (25%
or 50%), then multiplied that number by the lowest projected cost per acre
($5,100) and the highest projected cost per acre ($8,600) to get the cost range.
The calculations were adjusted proportionately for each of the golf course options
and the scenario options.
No cost accelerators were applied to the Table of Options.
Estimated Capital Investments – Golf
The one-time capital investment projected for the 36-hole option was based upon the
most recent evaluation of the cost of replacing the irrigation system and performing
some course refurbishment, a total of $3.8 million. Half of the estimate was applied to
the 18-hole option ($1.9 million), but no additional capital costs were included to reflect a
configuration different from either the Conquistador or the Cañada courses as they exist
today. Just under one quarter of the cost is estimated as the investment needed for the
Pusch Ridge 9-hole golf course.
For the 27-hole option, staff did not modify the projected capital cost estimate provided
by the Consultant in 2017, as that configuration requires redesign and additional
investments. The Consultant’s estimate already included the cost to revegetate
discontinued golf holes to natural desert for a total cost of $4,639,115.
Estimated Capital Investments – Golf Course Repurposing
Estimating the repurposing of golf holes was more complex and includes a much wider
range of costs. This is due to the wide range of options that could be pursued based
upon Council direction, community input, access, and overall design complexities.
For natural open space, the calculation was based upon the range specified in the May
24 memorandum of $14,800 - $20,000 per acre for natural vegetation, multiplied by the
range of the irrigated open space acreage noted above.
For public park space, the calculation was based upon a range of $50,000 - $100,000
per acre multiplied by the same range of irrigated acreage. The wide range of cost
reflects a variety of potential investments, depending on community need and input,
including: redesigned irrigation, ramadas, ADA accessibility, play structures,
July 8, 2019 Memorandum to Council
Page 4
recreation/fitness amenities, shade structures, restrooms, landscaping, parking,
drainage and other items.
Other Capital Investments
It should be noted that the capital costs included in the Table of Options and the May 24
memorandum do not include any investments to the Community Center building. The
Town Council’s decision regarding the golf course(s) is the first step in the process, and
leads to a cascade of decisions on the rest of the project (e.g. food and beverage, golf
pro shop, offices, etc.).
Projected Annual Debt Service If Bonded
The Table of Options includes a projected annual debt service cost for a 20-year bond
that includes the total estimated capital investment for the four golf course options. This
estimate does not include capital investments for the Pusch Ridge golf course or
Community Center investments.
10-Year Projections
Attachment 2 is a 10-year projection of operating costs for each of the four options based upon
the following assumptions:
The midpoints of the ranges identified in the Table of Options are used for the base year
for each golf option and non-golf O&M. The base year continues to be the first year of
full operation following the assumed capital investment.
An estimated debt service for capital investment is incorporated into the comparison at
the mid-point level of the projections included in the consolidated table (Attachment 1).
All expenses are projected at a 2% straight cost increase. The year 6+ cost for
maintaining open space incorporates a 2% increase applied to years 1-5.
All revenues are projected at a 2% straight revenue increase except as follows:
For the 36-hole option, membership is projected to increase 8 members per year
for the first five years, then 2% thereafter.
For the 36, 27 and 18-hole options, day play revenues are projected to increase
5% for the first 5 years, then 2% thereafter.
The 10-year projection does not include the estimated two years to complete the capital
investments because there are too many variables that could affect both revenues and
expenditures, depending on the solution selected by the Town Council and the
implementation.
Summary information, along with sample photos of potential non-golf uses, is currently being
developed for presentation to the community. As soon as the information document is ready, I
will forward it to you for individual comment before finalizing. I am also developing a summary
slide presentation that I will be prepared to present at the July 24 special meeting. Additionally,
I am working with Town Attorney Gary Cohen to incorporate relevant Purchase and Sales
Agreement information, which he will be prepared to present at the special meeting as well.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Town Manager’s Office
RESPONSE TO TOWN COUNCIL INQUIRY
DATE: July 17, 2019
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Mary Jacobs, Town Manager
Stacey Lemos, Administrative Services Director/CFO
SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO REQUEST REGARDING FOLLOW UP INFORMATION ON GOLF
PROJECTIONS AND ANALYSES
This report is in response to a request by Vice Mayor Barrett to provide additional, more in depth
information to the Town Council related to the golf option projections and analyses provided in the
May 24, 2019 and July 8, 2019 memos to Town Council. The specific request is provided below:
“After having a bit more time to take a look at the memo and financials you provided, I would like to
ask for more in depth information.
Namely, would you please provide via spreadsheet rather than memo all of the assumptions that
went into these numbers, and specifically how they affected the results. It is difficult to have a
conversation or understanding without seeing the breakdown of the assumptions clearly delineated. It
should be so clear that council members or any member of the public could perform the math and
understand what is going on, and also be able to understand the sensitivity of the results to the
assumptions.
For example, one assumes there are assumptions regarding rounds of golf played, membership
levels and prices, interest rates on bonds, depreciation of assets, utility costs, salary costs, etc. I
would like each of those assumptions clearly spelled out.
In addition to this, please provide the historical information about each one of those assumptions for
every year in which we have data for the golf courses, including any data we have about when the
resort owned the golf courses. What was membership in each of those years? How many rounds of
golf were played by non-member play, not counting the Pusch Ridge course? What were utility costs
for these 36 holes and the community center, etc.? What have the labor costs been? Etc.? Ideally this
would be in a similar format to the assumptions for simple comparison.
I think looking at the past can help us in evaluating the projections, assumptions and numbers moving
forward, and is an important piece of information.”
2
RESPONSE
Attached please find copies of the various spreadsheets prepared to support the figures and
estimates provided in the above-referenced memoranda and related exhibits. A discussion of some of
the various assumptions is provided below.
The Excel spreadsheet file named “El Con Pro Form Multiple Options” is a file prepared by Troon
displaying actual operating results from FY 2015/16 to present and projecting estimated revenues
and expenses for the future operation of a 36, 27, and 18-hole golf course in multiple tabs within the
spreadsheet. These calculations served as the basis for Attachments A, B and C to the May 24, 2019
memo to Town Council. The estimates used for the 5/24/19 memo Attachments A-C were derived
from the year 2023 column in the spreadsheets, and additional assumptions supporting the
calculations are outlined in the 5/24/19 memo. This file depicts historical actuals for personnel costs,
utility expenses, golf rounds played and average estimated annual membership totals. Each line item
in the spreadsheet contains specific and unique future projection assumptions based on the category
of revenue and expense. Therefore, by viewing the spreadsheet in Excel format, the individual
formulas and calculations delineate the specific assumptions used. A separate Excel spreadsheet file
named “El Con Pro Form Multiple Options Show Formulas” has also been included for your reference
displaying the formulas within the cells of the spreadsheets for ease of viewing.
The various revenue line item categories in the Troon spreadsheet were consolidated into
summarized revenue line item categories in the Attachments A-C to the 5/24/19 memo as follows:

The staffing assumptions tabs in this file have been removed as they contain proprietary salary and
wage information of Troon employees. Staffing level assumptions in each of the golf options are as
follows:
Golf Hole Option
Avg. Full-Time Equivalent Employees
(FTEs)
36-holes 35.67
27-holes 28.87
18-holes 21.25
The majority of these FTEs are line-level employees in the golf course maintenance division with
hourly rates ranging from $12.50 - $18/hour and in the guest services division with hourly rates
ranging from $8.60 - $11.50/hour plus tips.
3
One item to note is that the expenses for the 18-hole option listed in Attachment C in the 5/24/19
memo are approximately $218,000 less than the projections prepared by Troon. Upon final review of
these projections, it was determined that additional cost savings could be achieved by further
reductions in Troon management support and accounting personnel, with those duties being handled
by Town personnel, thereby saving approximately $178,000. Additionally, advertising and marketing
costs were further reduced by approximately $25,000 from $84,692 to $60,000, and equipment
leases were further reduced by $15,000 from $60,000 to $45,000.
Included hereto are the additional Excel spreadsheets of the following:
• 36, 27, and 18-hole single year projected cash flow analyses labeled as Attachments A-C to
the 5/29/19 memo
• 36, 27, and 18-hole 10-year projections
• Copy of the Consolidated Golf Options
• Copy of 10-year Projections All Options
Finally, also included are PDF versions of the following:
• Debt service schedule calculations – assumed 20-year bonds issued with 3.5% interest rate
• Historical total golf rounds and membership totals from May 2015 through present
• Historical Hilton financials and forecast
Please let us know if you have any further questions or would like additional information.

Non Member Guest Analysis (2016-2018)
Other Items to Note
1.Revenues generated are essentially split
evenly between members and non members.
2.Non member rounds and revenue are each
impacted by members bringing guests. In
each of the last two year, 7.8% of non
member golf income comes from the golf
membership.
3.Annually, there are approximately 60
significant irrigation breaks per year. In our

I. INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND
In May 2015, the Town of Oro Valley purchased the former El Conquistador Country Club for
$1 million. The former Country Club was owned and operated as part of the Hilton El
Conquistador Golf and Tennis Resort and was built in the 1980’s. The acquisition included the
following amenities:
45 holes of golf, driving range, maintained facilities and pro-shops. Golf comprised of two
18-hole courses (Conquistador and Cañada) and one 9-hole course (Pusch)
31 lighted, hard-surface tennis courts and a pro-shop (15 courts at Cañada and 16 courts
at Pusch)
2 swimming pools
45,025 square-foot country club that includes the Oro Valley Community Center and
Overlook Restaurant
The Town contracts with Troon Golf, LLC to manage its golf, food & beverage operations, as
well as contracts with El Conquistador, LLC to manage the tennis operations. The Community
Center is managed by the Town’s Parks and Recreation Department.
Earlier this year, Town staff, in conjunction with its professional golf management company,
Troon, provided 3 alternative options should Town Council decide to reduce its golf portfolio in
total or in part. The three alternative use options consist of repurposing or restoring existing
golf turf, which are laid out below (please see Attachment 1):
1. 100% natural open space
2. 75% natural open space, 25% public park space
3. 50% natural open space, 50% public park space
At the July 31, 2019 Town Council Special Meeting, Town Council directed staff to acquire
services from a professional and qualified landscape architect to conduct further analysis of
possible repurposing or restoration of turf to natural desert open space.
Request for Qualifications No. 19023 Page 4 of 22 Professional Design Services
III. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Professional Services shall include a conceptual design to restore up to 36 holes of existing
golf to natural desert open space. This will also include related cost estimates for restoration,
implementation timeline, and anticipated annual maintenance.
Phase I Tasks
Upon the date of the Town’s issuance of a notice to proceed, the Consultant will commence
with work on Phase I Tasks.
Task 1: Conceptual designs and evaluation to restore golf courses to natural desert
open space.
The Consultant shall develop conceptual design layouts of natural desert open space
restoration for a 27-hole and 18-hole course, without reconfiguring golf hole layouts. As part
of the layout, the Consultant shall include the restoration of discontinued golf holes/fairways
to natural desert open space. For an 18-hole course, these layouts may include the entire
Cañada course or Conquistador course, or a combination of holes from both co urses, with
the goal of minimizing the upfront capital investment as it pertains to course design and
implementation, as well as minimizing ongoing maintenance costs thereafter, while still
offering a competitive, playable course. Each concept will essenti ally be a visual overlay of
the existing golf course layout of the Cañada golf course and the Conquistador golf course.
In evaluation of these alternative options, the Consultant shall identify the pros and cons for
each. The Consultant shall further identify appropriate areas for potential public park space in
lieu of natural desert open space.
Task 2: Cost estimates, construction timeline, and annual maintenance costs .
The Consultant will need to develop cost estimates for the design and construction of each
conceptual design, as well as an additional option of repurposing all 36 holes of irrigated golf
turf; an anticipated construction timeline; and an anticipated annual maintenance cost with
the expectation of minimal vegetation installation.
In order to achieve an analysis and estimate within the Town’s anticipated budget for this
project, the Consultant will likely need to only analyze repurposing or restoring 2 or 3
representative sample areas (holes, fairways, etc.) for each of the conceptual design options.
The Consultant will need to include within their evaluation the non-neighborhood public
access concerns (some golf course holes are surrounded by only privately gated
communities or private streets), drainage, construction and vegetation cost estimates,
methodology for turf removal and possible grading, accurate acreage to be restored or
repurposed, timeline for turf removal and natural desert open space maturation (include
picture concepts at various stages of maturation), and annual maintenan ce or upkeep costs
of the natural desert open space or public park space. The Consultant will note any potential
economies of scale of such a restoration project. Any changes or repurposing must also be
consistent with the property Deed Restrictions (provided by the Town to the successful
respondent as additional background information).
Request for Qualifications No. 19023 Page 5 of 22 Professional Design Services
For both of the preceding tasks, the Town is interested in the Consultant including an
economical restoration of golf holes with minimal ongoing maintenance required. Therefore,
the Consultant should provide an accurate range of revegetation densities and associated
costs, with accompanying detailed visuals to illustrate what the community and neighboring
residents could expect.
Phase II Tasks
The Consultant shall conduct the following tasks, if directed by the Town to proceed to Phase
II, and will be required to provide a separate cost estimate for the tasks in the proposal.
Task 3: Provide analysis of 27-hole design from the 2017 NGF Report, but adjust
concept to exclude reconfiguration of golf holes.
The Town contracted with the National Golf Foundation (NGF) in 2017 to analyze and
provide recommendations regarding the Town’s golf course operations. The NGF provided a
report that included a 27-hole option (to be provided to the successful respondent as
additional background information).
The Consultant shall evaluate the economics and feasibility of that option, including the
potential of not requiring 9-hole golf sections to loop back to the clubhouse. The Consultant
should also locate which potential areas would be freed up for natural open space and/or
public park space.
Task 4: Compare the NGF 36-hole option and recent Town staff’s 36-hole option.
Included within the 2017 NGF Report is a 36-hole option that included reconfiguration. Town
staff utilized this information as a baseline in establishing its own analysis and proposal for a
36-hole golf option. The Consultant shall evaluate both of these options with the intent of
keeping capital improvement cost projections to a minimum, as well as long-term operational
and maintenance costs to a minimum.
Phase III
Consultant may be asked to provide an additional proposal for more detailed concept plans,
construction drawings, course designs, irrigati on replacement design, for either golf or the
repurposing of holes from golf as the evaluation and decision -making process for this project
moves forward. Consultant must be qualified and experienced in obtaining community input,
developing options, and fulfilling all responsibilities associated with the submittal of
construction and bidding documents for this work.
Request for Qualifications No. 19023 Page 6 of 22 Professional Design Services
V. SOQ EVALUATION
An SOQ Evaluation Committee will assess the qualifications and relative experience of
all respondents, utilizing the Evaluation Criteria set forth herein.
The Town then anticipates negotiating a single fixed-fee contract for the Phase I
services and optional Phase II services with the highest-ranked respondent. Within the
contract, a detailed scope of services, along with fair and reasonable Consultant
compensation and contract terms, will be negotiated.
If the Town is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with the highest-ranked
respondent, negotiations with that respondent will be formally terminated. The Town
may then undertake negotiations with the next highest -ranked respondent, and
continue this in sequence until an agreement is reached with a respondent, or the
Town may determine to reject all submittals and re-solicit via a new Request for
Qualifications.

The Consultant’s scope of services will include, but not necessarily be limited to
including, the following tasks:
Task 1: Outreach to the Community
The Consultant shall facilitate a “community-based” approach for a master planning process.
Community input meetings conducted by the Consultant shall identify the needs of the community, to
include its residents (i.e. those having residence within Town limits), its partners, recreation user
groups, and stakeholders (i.e. the expanded group of residents, partners and recreation user
groups). The resulting dialogue from this approach shall enable identification of key issues and
collection of community feedback throughout the planning process. The community involvement
process should identify existing and potential partnerships and associated funding opportunities. The
Consultant will utilize innovative and cost -effective methods to generate and maximize public
participation.
• Effective public outreach is essential for building community support and gatheri ng input. The
Consultant shall craft a transparent, comprehensive process to engage the resident public and
stakeholders. To this end, the Consultant shall conduct six (6) resident and stakeholder focus
group working sessions, each a minimum of sixty (60) minutes duration.
• Consultant shall develop and utilize a Resident and Stakeholder Needs Assessment Survey
as a method for effective community engagement to capture and document interactions with
the community.
• Public Information – Consultant shall prepare and submit press releases, newsletters, radio
interviews and updates via Facebook, Twitter, neighborhood newsletters, and radio/television
media to generate community interest and participation in each of the six resident and
stakeholder meetings.
• The Consultant shall participate in working sessions with the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board (hereinafter “PRAB”): Three (3) working sessions.
• The Consultant shall ensure its coordination with adjacent jurisdictional stakeholders and
partners (with Consultant to contact by phone and invite stakeholders and partners to working
sessions and public meetings).
• Community Engagement – In addition to the aforementioned resident and stakeholder focus
group working sessions, the Consultant shall also attend four (4) community events to
administer the Resident and Stakeholder Questionnaire .
Task 2: Resident and Stakeholder Needs Assessment Survey
The Consultant shall identify the needs of the community in order for the Town to align services
appropriate to those needs. The Consultant’s data collection shall identify community needs and
priorities and take into account cultural, economic, and physical conditions and characteristics that
make up the community. A Resident and Stakeholder Needs Assessment Survey developed in
conjunction with designated Town staff and administered by the Consultant will be a versatile tool to
help identify the community’s needs. Results from residents are separate but complementary to
stakeholder input as they are results that ref lect input from the community at large. The Consultant

• Conduct a statistically valid Resident and Stakeholder Needs Assessment Survey of residents’
attitudes and opinions regarding park and recreation services they desire and whether they
are being fulfilled. The survey will assist in developing a needs index that determines priorities
for the development of the Master Plan;

leadership, key community stakeholders and the community at large.
Task 3: Level of Service Analysis

meetings to measure the level of service currently being provided to the residents , stakeholders and
users of the Town’s park system. The Consultant shall analyze how this information reconciles with
community demographics, social determinants of health, active transportation systems,
administrative boundaries and neighborhoods , etc. As part of the level of service analysis, the
Consultant shall analyze and include relevant alternative recreation facilities and providers within the
study area (i.e. schools, commercial recreational and fitness providers, and park and recreation
facilities in nearby communities) to provide an analysis of duplication of services and to identify
opportunities for collaborative efforts. The Consultant’s level of service analysis shall include:
• The community’s access to parks facilities
• Alternate providers’ facilities (such as homeowner associations, schools or agency-owned)
that provide recreation access for the Town’s residents
• Trail access and future trail development
Task 4: Resource and Funding Analysis
The Consultant shall review and provide recommendations for updating the Department’s current fee
philosophy and pricing model. The Consultant shall identify probable operating, maintenance and
capital costs and recommendations for potential funding sources and mechanisms. The Consultant’s
analysis will identify revenue trends, pricing and cost recovery, capital improvement planning and
allocation of f unding sources resulting in prioritized recommendations.
Task 5: Parks and Recreation Trends

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Town Council Members
THRU: Mary Jacobs, Town Manager
FROM: Chris Brady, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Police Chief Recruitment Process
DATE: July 19, 2019
SUMMARY: Police Chief Daniel G. Sharp will be retiring from the Town of Oro Valley in February
2020 after an impressive career of over 40 years in law enforcement, the last 20 years being here with
us at the Town of Oro Valley. There are options available to fill this critical role. The Town Council has
placed a discussion regarding the recruitment process on its July 31, 2019 meeting agenda. Once the
Council has an opportunity to discuss the options, staff respectfully requests direction on how to
proceed with the recruitment process.
DISCUSSION: As a direct report to the Town Council per ordinance, it is Council that will decide upon
the timing and methodology for the Police Chief recruitment process. Staff is prepared to proceed with
any option at Council’s direction. This memorandum outlines the two suggested options, with
associated costs and timeframes:
• Internal candidate only recruitment utilizing existing staff with potential supplemental services
from an Executive Search Firm
• Internal/external candidate recruitment utilizing outside Executive Search Firm

Internal Candidate Only Recruitment
An internal only recruitment could be handled with existing human resources and town staff, depending
on the complexity of the process chosen by the Town Council.
Estimated Timeframe: 2 - 3 Months
• Council determines evaluation process, which could consist of any or all of the following
components:
o Council Role
o Staff Role
o Community Input
o Professional Chief Review
• Review Police Chief position description and update as needed
• Create internal job posting and display internally per usual protocol
• Receive applications in human resources office
• Schedule and conduct interviews
• Make selection and negotiate contract
Preliminary Cost Estimate: $3,500 - $4,500
• Potential miscellaneous costs to support evaluation committee and possible community event
• 3rd party background checks
Advantages:
• Faster recruitment process
• Relatively low cost to the Town
• Provides growth opportunities to internal employees
• Candidate will have institutional knowledge of the Town and Police Department
Disadvantages:
• Small pool of candidates
• Potential lack of appearance of a competitive process
• Costs could increase depending on level of outside services required
• There are considerations for candidates that may be participating in the PSPRS DROP program,
namely that services as chief could potentially be limited:

www.orovalleyaz.gov | phone: (520) 229-4700 | fax: (520) 297-0428
Internal/External Candidate Recruitment utilizing Executive Search Firm
Estimated Timeframe: 3-6 Months
• Solicit proposals from Executive Search Firms and present to Council for selection
• Council meets with Executive Search Firm consultant to develop/agree on process and to review
Police Chief Position Description and update as needed
• Allow time for Executive Search Firm to source, advertise, recruit and screen applications
• Executive Search Firm schedules and conducts interviews in conformance with Council agreed
upon process
• Make selection/offer
Preliminary Cost Estimate: $25,000 - $50,000
The Town’s Chief Procurement Officer has identified several firms that are available to the Town under
cooperative contracts, which means the process to solicit proposals is much faster than a full Request
for Proposal (RFP). The cooperative contracts range in price from approximately $18,000 (not all
inclusive) to $50,000 (not all inclusive).
For illustrative purposes, the Town utilized the services of CPS HR Consulting in 2017 for the Town
Manager search. The fee associated with this search was $24,250.
The 2017 Town Manager recruitment was completed utilizing a 3-phase project approach:
• Develop Candidate Profile and Recruitment Strategy
• Proactive and Robust Recruitment
• Selection
CPS HR Consulting provided services to help identify key priorities for the new Town Manager, involved
key stakeholders, produced professional recruitment materials (e.g., brochures and postings), and used
professional networks to identify top candidates for contact. The project timeline was 4 months.
Advantages
• Experience working with elected bodies in objectively guiding the selection of high profile
positions
• Opens recruitment to large pool of talent
• Uses specialized expertise, professionally produced recruitment materials, and established
contacts to identify candidates that meet Town Council’s preferred criteria
• Can provide for public input into the process working with consultant at direction of Council
• Capacity for a “deeper dive” into each candidate by utilizing services such as:
o Community Surveys
o Community Engagement Meetings
o Pre-Screened Candidates

www.orovalleyaz.gov | phone: (520) 229-4700 | fax: (520) 297-0428
o Utilization of the firm’s candidate pool and insight into the candidate’s prior
interviewing experiences
o Objective, 3rd party Assessment Centers
• Internal candidates are still included in the process
Disadvantages
• Costs for search firm fees and expenses
• Could result in the hire of a candidate with no institutional knowledge of the department or
community
• There may be additional charges incurred such as travel for out-of-state candidates
RECOMMENDATION: The recruitment and selection of a candidate for this role is one of the most
critical hiring decisions that can be made on behalf of the Town of Oro Valley. The selected candidate
will have a major impact on the well-being and vitality of our residents, businesses, Police Department
and the Town as a whole.
As this is a direct report to the Town Council, it is important that Council has a professional recruitment
partner that will also report directly to Council. An Executive Search Firm will provide an objective third
party review for this high profile position that hasn’t been filled in 20 years. The process would be given
the time and attention it deserves by having the firm work directly with the elected body, assisting
Council in the evaluation of both internal and external candidates. Therefore I recommend the selection
of an executive search firm with experience in hiring high profile positions such as a Chief of Police.
Town Council Regular Session 5.
Meeting Date:09/04/2019
Submitted By:Amanda Jacobs, Town Manager's Office
Department:Town Manager's Office
SUBJECT:
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING THE TOWN'S SPOTLIGHT ON YOUTH
PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
Councilmember Rhonda Piña and Councilmember Bill Rodman requested this item.
Staff recommends Council continue the Spotlight on Youth Program as outlined in the Executive Summary.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Town staff is proposing the following new process for Spotlight on Youth, which is planned to relaunch on
September 18, 2019, pending further direction from Town Council.
School Resource Officers (SRO) coordinate with all Oro Valley schools and representatives (principal,
assistant principal, guidance counselors, etc.)
Using a criterion of: academic, arts, community service, entrepreneurship, humanitarian act and sports the
youth will be selected
SRO and school reps provide names to Constituent Services Coordinator to include during the 2nd Council
meeting of every month
Constituent Services Coordinator prepares information for Council meeting to include Certificate of
Appreciation signed by all of Members of Council (see Attachment A)
Staff will write script and provide briefing to Councilmember Jones-Ivey, Council Liaison for Amphitheater
School District (or rotating Councilmember)
Youth and family is acknowledged by Councilmember Jones-Ivey at council meeting (or rotating
Councilmember)
Photo-op with entire Council
Photo sent to parent, school and posted on Town's social media
The process outlined above provides collaboration between the Town, Police Department, local schools, youth and
Town Council.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Town's Spotlight on Youth Program began in April 2013. The purpose of the program is to shine the spotlight
on students who are making a difference in their school or communities. For the last several months, Town staff
has been gathering information to retool the program in order to bring it back on the Town Council agenda in the
new 19/20 school year. Based on information from staff, receiving students' names from the local schools was
challenging. In a meeting with Town Manager Mary Jacobs and Council Liaison Joyce Jones-Ivy, Amphitheater
School District Superintendent Todd Jaeger agreed that continuing to support student recognition with the Town
Council was positive. He also noted that teachers' priorities were to the classroom and supported developing a
process that didn't rely on teacher nominations only. The major change to the new process involves including the
Town's Police Department School Resource Unit, as well as the Constituent Services Coordinator who managers
the Oro Valley Youth Advisory Council. In addition, with SRO's assigned to all schools in the community, including
private and charter schools, utilizing the police personnel as a direct point-of-contact in identifying eligible students
for recognition would ensure equitability across the Town.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact is approximately $190 in office supplies, which is included in the FY19/20 Town Manager budget.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to direct Town Staff to proceed with the Spotlight on Youth as outlined in the Executive Summary; or
I MOVE to.....
