Council Member LaSala stated that it makes sense to locate the high school in Oro Valley because of the demographics and growth of the Town. He stated that he understands the financial aspects but he felt that the Town should move forward on the issue because "it fits." Council Member Bryant stated that this is a rare opportunity for government entities to work together for the children. He stated that Cathy Esposito from Amphi School District worked with the neighbors and the Town on the school site at Rancho Vistoso and he felt comfortable that the same would happen with the new site. He also stated that if the school was not located on the site, alternatives could be apartments and more commercial businesses. He said that open spaces and archaeological sites could be utilized by the children. He also explained that the integrity of the riverbed would be maintained. Council Member Parisi stated that co-operation between government entities benefits everyone and this would be a way for the Town and the School District to jointly develop property for the benefit of all. Mayor Loomis thanked Town staff for their work on putting together materials for the proposal. He said that this would be a great opportunity for the Town and School District to work together and everyone would gain from the joint effort. Mayor Loomis explained that Tangerine Road is already scheduled for improvements and those improvements will be completed by the time the school would open. He also explained that safety improvements are already being funded for First Avenue so traffic concerns can be addressed. Mayor Loomis also stated that he has talked with Vice Mayor Johnson and he has echoed his support for the location of the high school in Oro Valley. Council Member LaSala recognized Girl Scout Troop 682 who were present in the audience. He explained that they were working on their Citizen Involvement Badges. MOTION: Council Member LaSala MOVED to authorize up to $1.5 million for land acquisition at the southeast corner of Tangerine and North First Avenue in conjunction with the Amphitheater School District's effort to locate the new high school in Oro Valley. Council Member Bryant SECONDED the motion. DISCUSSION: Council Member Bryant stated that he made a statement at the Amphitheater School Board meeting that too much politics is being played. He stated that this is an example of putting politics aside and doing what is the best for the children. Motion carried, 4—0.

Solikmun SUBJECT: Sdioc*l Sire DATE: July 26. 1999 There are several in-mot-tut ints that I would like read into the record at the forthoomix c joint meeting of the Town Council and the Amphi School Board_ I The school site should be in the town limits of Oro Valley where the students are located. The rationale for this has been detailed previously. 2 The propery north of the Cal-Mat site represents the best site location for the academic and administrative facilities with development of the athletic and verforming arts facilities within the Cal-Mat site as part of a joint townf school district development makes sense, There is adequate space north of the Cal-Mat land for the academic and administrative facilities with easy access off of Tangerine Road_ Locating the football field,ball fields_,tennis courts, swimming pool. n asium.and indoor/outdoor pertbrming arts facilities within the excavated area of Cal-Mat is logical and saves the taxpayers money. Why duplicate athletic and recreation facilities so close to each other as would be the case if the school develops the North First Avenue and Tangerine Road location and the Town of Om Valley develops the Cal-Mat site. Putting together a regional education, culture and recreation area at the Cal-Mat site and the property north is visionary, logical and cost saving in the long run. Why won't it work? 3. From both the Town's and school districts perspective,the corner of North First and Tangerine is better developed as commercial,property as will be the case of the other three corners. This intersection will be a major traffic hub in the future as both roads are widened and improved. The loss of tax revenue for both the school district and town will be significant if this corner is not developed to its potential. The Town of Oro Valley has limited high traffic volume intersections and to use on of them for a nonntevenue producing use is not fiduciary sound thinking. I urge both the Amphi School Board and Town Council to do what's right for our students as wen as our taxpayers. They deserve your best long range decisions and not what maybe expedient in the short run. A"pride of authorship"mentality has no place in this process. July 26, 1999 To Amphitheater Governing Board and Oro Valley Town Council and Administration Staff: Questions to be answered: 1. Has there been an economic impact study? (Demenution in value to existing homes in the area) 2. Has an archaeology survey been done? 3. Has a pygmy owl or habitat survey been done? 4. Have any surveys or biological studies for any other T & E(threatened and endangered) species been done? 5 What is the current zoning for the area and does this support the proposed use? 6 Have any water impact studies been done? Is there enough water to support the proposed use? 7 Has there been a traffic flow thru analysis/impact study by a traffic engineer? 8 Have air impact studies been done concerning potential airbourne particulates during and after construction? 9 What is the Oro Valley tax increase to pay for the $ 1.5 million we would put towards this project? Palisades South, Palisades Point and Catalina Shadows area homeowners are forming a research group to determine whether to seek legal counsel with regards to protecting our environment.

Smith, Superintendent Amphitheater School District FROM: Chuck Sweet, Town Manager DATE: July 23, 1999 SUBJ: Amphitheater Governing Board/Town of Oro Valley Town Council Joint Study Session Pursuant to your memo of July 21, 1999 I have attached a response to the majority of the questions posed in your correspondence. Hopefully the answers to your questions in advance of the upcoming joint meeting will be helpful to all concerned. I appreciate Amphitheater School District scheduling the joint meeting at Cross Middle School which should make it convenient for Town Council Members, School Board Members and the public to attend this very important meeting. If you have any questions regarding any of the responses contained in the attachment, I would appreciate it if you would contact Mr. Dan Dudley, Town Attorney for Oro Valley at 297-5222. I have also included for your review a copy of the Town of Oro Valley agenda that we will be posting this Friday afternoon. Thank you. / //hied_ Chuck Sweet Town Manager Attachments (2) c: Mayor and Town Council Members All Department Heads David Andrews, Acting Town Manager Question 1: What is the specific nature of the offer? Oro Valley's offer is to jointly purchase the 150-acre site at the southeast corner of N. 1st Avenue and Tangerine Road with the District. What are the specific terms of the offer? The specific terms of the offer are the Town would participate jointly in negotiations and/or condemnation action to acquire approximately one-half of the 150 acre site with the upper dollar limit for that purchase not to exceed $1.5 million. What consideration, if any, does Oro Valley expect for its investment? Oro Valley expects from it's investment the right to preserve and develop the Town owned acreage as it deems appropriate. Also, would it apply to any high school site within Oro Valley? The Oro Valley proposal currently being offered is specific to the southeast corner of Tangerine and N. 1st Avenue and does not apply to any other high school site within Oro Valley. Question 2: Will Oro Valley deed land or exchange land that it purchases to the District if the District needs additional acreage? School districts may not put any improvements on land they do not own. Oro Valley would consider the deeding of land or exchange of land in the future should the district need additional acreage for expansion of high school amenities. The deeding of additional land would be at an appraised market value price and the Town would entertain giving the District a first right of refusal on Town owned acreage. Question 3: Oro Valley indicates it will buy 70 acres of land at the site, but the appraisal range suggests that it may only be able to buy 50 to 60 acres if the limit is $1.5 million. Will Oro Valley buy 70 acres if called for? The action approved by the Oro Valley Town Council authorizes the purchase of an undetermined acreage amount that would not exceed the $1.5 million upper limit. Question 4: Will the offer be conveyed in writing, setting forth all applicable terms and conditions? It is Oro Valley's proposal that an IGA that details the proposal in writing would be entered into by the Town and the District. If additional terms and conditions were necessary outside our current authority, the Town Council would need to reconvene to take action on same. Question 5: Would Oro Valley be willing to enter into joint condemnation proceedings with the District seeking 80 acres and the Town seeking the balance, each to pay whatever the Court determined? If it is determined the best course of action to pursue is condemnation proceedings by separate Town Council action, the Town could file individually or jointly such action as permitted by law up to the allowed $1.5M. Question 6: What is the Town's plan for the land it buys? At the present time, the Town's plan for the land is to hold it as an investment in open space until such time that the Town, in conjunction with the District, would be able to develop a Master Plan for the useable town-owned acreage. Question 7: Is the Town legally able to commit funds without restriction? Yes. Question 8: Does Oro Valley receive state-shared revenue on our property? No. The Town only receives state-shared revenue based upon a certified census of population within the town limits of Oro Valley. Question 9: What are the possibilities of ingress and egress from First Avenue, and what would the extra cost for the same be? The exact location of an ingress and egress from N. 1st Avenue to the high school site would best be addressed with a Traffic Study and coordination with the Oro Valley Town Engineer. 0 AGENDA ORO VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL JOINT STUDY SESSION MEETING WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF AMPHITHEATER SCHOOL DISTRICT JULY 26TH, 1999 CROSS MIDDLE SCHOOL 1000 W.

He stated that some of the positives would be in not bussing children, a sense of pride in the community, and access to facilities. He stated that he is undecided about the school site but would like to do the right thing for the community. In response to a question from Council Member LaSala, Town Manger Chuck Sweet reported that the agreement between Amphitheater School District and the Town (for the school site at Rancho Vistoso) was completed in approximately 6 — 8 weeks. Council Member LaSala stated that it makes sense to locate the high school in Oro Valley because of the demographics and growth of the Town. He stated that he understands the financial aspects but he felt that the Town should move forward on the issue because "it fits." Council Member Bryant stated that this is a rare opportunity for government entities to work together for the children. He stated that Cathy Esposito from Amphi School District worked with the neighbors and the Town on the school site at Rancho Vistoso and he felt comfortable that the same would happen with the new site.
