The council meeting, a regular city council meeting of June 2nd, 2025.

Would you all please rise and stand with me for the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence?

In the Republic for which it stands one nation liberty and justice.

Thank you.

Marcella, if we could have roll call, please.

Councilmember Condi.

Here.

Councilmember Garcia.

Here.

Councilmember Solario.

Here.

Councilmember Weiss here.

Councilmember White?

Vice Mayor Nielsen.

Here.

Mayor Pineda.

Here.

Okay.

Item number two, Ron.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor.

Up first, we have uh Mark Foote, our recreation manager, who will present our first proclamation of the evening for a Juneteenth.

Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, and City Council.

My name is Mark Foote.

I'm the recreation programmer within Parks Recreation and Libraries Division, specifically over special events.

I'm here to introduce a proclamation recognizing Juneteenth, an important day in American history that marks the end of slavery in the United States.

It's a time to reflect, to learn, and to honor the strength and resilience of those who came before us.

We're proud to commemorate this moment as a city and invite the community to come together for our annual Juneteenth celebration.

This year's event will be held on June 14th from 6 to 9 p.m.

here at the Civic Center Complex.

It will feature live music from groups such as Backdoor Funk, local themed food vendors, educational talks hosted at the Civic Center Library, and performances that highlight the cultural contributions of black Americans throughout a history.

It's a family-friendly event meant to bring neighbors together through food, music, and shared experiences.

And we're excited to host this third annual event, and we encourage residents of all ages to in marking this meaningful day.

If there are no questions, Mayor, I'm going to invite you to read the proclamation.

Thank you so much.

And uh Councilmember White will be reading the proclamation tonight.

Thank you so much, Mayor.

Um, and thank you as well.

I appreciate it.

Whereas on January 1st, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation granting freedom to all those who were enslaved.

And whereas the news of freedom did not become an immediate reality for more than 250,000 enslaved black people of Texas.

And whereas on June 19th, 1865, over two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas finally received word that they were free from bondage.

And whereas those who were formerly enslaved were recognized for the first time as citizens and black Americans came to commemorate June 19th as Juneteenth with celebrations across the country, building new lives and new traditions that we honor today.

And whereas Juneteenth, we recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, and justice as we celebrate the centuries of struggles, courage, and hope that have brought us to this time of progress and possibilities.

Whereas on March 17th, 19th, I'm sorry, 2016, Governor Doug Ducey signed HB 2226, sponsored by former Representative Reginald Bolding, recognizing June 19th as Juneteenth Day in Arizona, making Arizona the 45th state to recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday.

And whereas Avondale officially recognized June 19th as the Juneteenth holiday as of February 22nd, 2022, which represents one significant step amongst many in our 79-year history, which commits the city to eradicating racism against the descendants of former enslaved black Americans of African descent.

Now therefore, Mayor and the Council of the City of Avondale, Arizona, do hereby proclaim June 19th, 2025 as Juneteenth, and encourage all Avondale residents to reflect upon the value of freedom and join in the Juneteenth celebrations across the valley.

Thank you so much.

Thank you also to the city managers team.

We have these beautiful Juneteenth pens, uh Mayor and Council that will be handed out at our celebration on the 14th.

And as Councilmember White said, Saturday, June 14th, at our here right at the Amphitheater Civic Center, uh join us for festivities fund and educational opportunities.

So there anybody else would like to share?

Otherwise, we'll okay.

Thank you so much.

All right, at this time, uh, we have two blue cards.

So I would like to call it first Teresa DeSante.

Good evening.

Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council members.

I want for the record, I want to clarify an answer by Chief Rooney on May the 5th this year, a meeting.

Mayor, you asked Chief Rooney if he had contacted me on the contacted me, and Chief Rooney said yes regarding the incident that happened on April the 5th, my next door neighbor, where uh he got injured.

And uh anyway, Chief Rooney never contacted me.

He never contacted me.

Mayor, you asked Rooney to talk to me behind those that hallway right over here.

And I'm not going to do that again.

It's a he said, she said.

So from now on, anything which you have to say to me will be in front of the council.

Why?

Because it's being recorded and I have nothing to hide.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, we have Maria Alvarado.

Hello, everyone.

Buenos noches.

Señor Alcalde and Members del Concilio.

Soy Mari Alvarado, residente de Avendale.

Estoy in contra el aumento de impuestos a la propiedad.

Este aumento nos affectará economicamente.

Cada diapositiva gasolina, comestibles and services publics están subiendo.

Sea grande o pequena.

Subirá la renta de los inquilinos andas hipotecas de los dueños.

Le pido al Consilio que vote no a la aumento del impuesto a las propiedades.

Good evening, Mr.

Mayor and members of the council.

I'm Mari Alvarado, resident of Avondale.

I am against the increase in property taxes in Avondale.

This proposed increase will have an economic impact on us all.

Our families already have difficulties in trying to manage family budgets.

Everyday costs for gas, groceries, and utilities are rising.

This proposed property tax increase, large or small, will raise rents for renters and mortgage payments for homeowners.

I asked the council to vote no to your proposal, which is in the regular agenda today, a public hearing and resolution 10320625 truth and taxation hearing setting forth the intent to raise the property tax levy.

I ask the council to vote no to your proposal to increase property taxes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next up, item four, consent agenda.

And Mayor, before we proceed, I'm sorry about that.

We did receive two additional requests to speak from Sean and Janine Lepford.

However, um staff did contact them and it's going to be a proclamation on a future agenda.

Thank you.

Okay, and then also just to clarify because I didn't have an item number in regards to item number 5A.

So I wasn't uh sure if I should have had Maria speak then or now.

So at that time, can we still take into account for the record what was stated?

Perfect.

Yes, we'll do.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you so much.

All right, item number four.

Is there any members of council who wish to have an item removed for separate consideration?

Or if not, can we get a motion?

Got a motion from Councilmember White, a second from Vice Mayor Nielsen.

Please vote.

Okay.

Item passes.

My screen stuff.

Thank you.

Sorry, Councilman Conde.

How do you vote?

Yes.

I thank you.

Thank you.

Item passes.

Raw next item, please.

Thank you, Mr.

Mayor and Council.

Up next, we have our public hearing for the truth in taxation hearing setting set forth to raise the property tax levy.

I believe Renee will be making the next few presentations.

Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Council.

Um here tonight.

We have two agenda items that would be covered in this presentation.

The first is to hold a public hearing on the proposed property tax levy.

The second is to hold a public hearing on the final budget for fiscal year 2025-2026 in the amount of four hundred eighty-six million six hundred and fourteen thousand and five hundred dollars.

So our proposed property tax.

Um our proposed property tax for fiscal year twenty six in the combined rate is a dollar and forty-six cents, which is the same as this current fiscal year.

Um you can see that the primary property tax is decreasing from 62 cents to 61, where the secondary is increasing.

Now the primary property tax is used for ongoing um general purposes in the city, and the secondary property tax is used to pay back the voter approved debt.

So on the levy, the levy is the amount of revenue that the city collects, and it is because we are levying more money than the prior year that we're required to hold a truth in taxation public hearing.

So part of that requirement also includes some public notices.

So this is a copy of the ad advertisement that was run in the West Sally section of the Arizona Republic newspaper on May 16th and May 23rd.

And here's a look back at our combined property tax rate.

The blue portion of the chart represents our primary property tax rate, and the orange is our secondary property tax rate.

Um over the past three years, our combined rate has been consistently around a dollar forty-six from fiscal years for uh 2024 through 2026.

And um our as our history shows, it's well below the maximum um combined rate of $2, which is included in our city financial policy.

So when you look at the city's combined tax rate in relation to a sample homeowners um tax bill.

So a homeowner with a median home value of 405,000 and a limited property value of 160,122.

The city's property tax is approximately 233 dollars and makes up about 11% of the homeowner's property tax bill.

Now moving on to the final budget.

The fiscal year 2026 expenditure limit is um 486 million four hundred and six hundred and fourteen thousand five hundred dollars.

It has not changed from what was uh approved with the tentative budget on May 5th.

We do, however, have a couple changes that were made um since the tentative budget.

The first are some increases for improvements at Friendship Park, $609,000 for pickleball courts and $169,000 for the dog park.

We reallocated $25,000 from a prior approved supplemental to cover a one-time contribution from the city for the city's vision plan.

So 7.75 FTE were added to some parks positions, which were previously budgeted as a total dollar amount.

And now we're adding FTE to them.

And then lastly, we made some adjustments to the carryover appropriation.

All the increases related to these adjustments were offset either by decreases or to decreases to contingency or unanticipated revenues.

So other exhibits included with the budget are the administrative awards for budgeted lines greater than 100,000, the schedule of interfund transfers, and the five-year capital improvement plan.

So our final steps for the budget include holding the truth in taxation hearing as well as a hearing for the final budget, and then to return on June 16th for consideration of the adoption of the property tax levy.

So with that, our recommendation is to conduct a public truth and taxation hearing to take a roll call on resolution 1032-0625, setting forth the intent to raise the property tax levy, to hold a public hearing on the fiscal 2026 final budget, and to adopt resolution 1033-0625, setting forth the final budget for fiscal year 2025-2026.

That concludes my presentation.

So there what I would like to do is give you my reason why I will be voting no on the resolution.

But I also want to do it in Spanish if that's okay, because there might be people listening who won't understand my English portion of it.

Thank you.

Councilmember Solorio.

Councilmember Garcia.

Thank you.

Because I will also be voting no, and I like that the way you stated it.

We just passed.

I voted no, but as a city, we passed the utility rates increase.

And I don't think raising the property tax right now for our residents is the right thing to do.

As a single mom, I know the financials that a lot of our our our parents out there are facing.

I go knocking doors almost every day speaking to residents all throughout, not only the city, but throughout the state, and everyone is facing these kind of financial things.

And just like I've mentioned before, just because other cities are doing this, does that mean here in Avondale we should be doing it?

We should reallocate money going to wonderful improvements that we could probably wait for if this money is necessary.

And in fact, I think we should educate our citizens on bonds, because that is why we raise taxes, because bonds we have to pay them back, and that's kind of where the money is going to.

So that's uh if we're opening a new bond or something like that later, um it increases taxes maybe 10 years, 20 years down the road, um, and we won't be sitting here.

It'll be another council that will be facing the same thing, having to raise property taxes in the city to pay those bonds out.

So if we educate people knowing that information, maybe we won't be able to.

And if we vote no today, maybe we could decrease the property tax instead of having the same property tax that we have.

Thank you.

Thank you, Councilmember Solorio.

Any other council members?

Council Mr Weiss.

Thank you, Mayor.

Thank you, Renee.

Um, I'm sorry, finding something.

Um, can you put back the slides?

I know that we haven't made any changes to the rate in the last three years, but this is to increase the levy, right?

Yes.

Can you explain that?

So any city who wants to levy more money than the prior year must hold this truth in taxation.

Okay.

So that is what is explained here in this.

All right.

So how is this going to affect our budget?

So have you incorporated like the raise of the property tax?

Well, is that really the tax part of it, but the levy part of it?

In order, is is that what we're talking about as far as our budget?

Have we budgeted based on an increase?

So we we do budget increased revenue of property tax up to the two percent that is allowed per statute.

Okay.

So if this is not approved and we don't levy this year, then not only do we not receive that revenue this year, but we also don't receive a compounded amount of that revenue into the future.

And then I know that you had a slide there and it showed about $2,000 roughly a year for somebody who had a $400,000 home.

But it doesn't say how much that is actually going up.

Does it is it going so if my home was 405,000?

And this is what you're saying is gonna be $2,000.

I'm assuming that I would be paying in taxes, correct?

That is a sample, yeah.

Sample.

So we have what it is right now.

Um we don't have, I mean, we have what is in the school districts and the other jurisdictions, so we couldn't say what their rates are are doing for next year.

We can only speak to ours, or portion of that.

But the value of homes is going up.

Okay.

So it's going up because our home values are going up.

Because we kept the rate the same basically.

Yes, and in our um you can see here that our primary rates actually going down, but the levy is still going up.

Okay.

Thank you.

Are you you satisfied with the response?

Okay.

Just want to make sure before we move forward.

Any other members of council?

Maybe I just mayor Nielsen right right there.

The total is still 14592.

A dollar 45.

25 and 26.

That value doesn't change.

What the changes is the secondary one, which has to do with uh bonds and whatever.

If that was to stay the same, we wouldn't have to have if that was to remain at uh point eight three, whatever it is, we wouldn't be here tonight.

Is that correct?

This truth indexation is just based on the primary itself.

Oh, just on the primary okay.

Yeah, so here with our rate going down, the total levy still going up.

We still required to to have the the public hearing because it's the dollars, not the rate.

Okay.

And the dollars are based on evaluation.

Thank you.

Did everybody get their questions answered?

Anyone else?

Rhonda, did you have did you want to add anything?

Uh little uh uh no, Mr.

Mayor.

Um, know that this budget was built on um the the four almost half a billion dollars was built on all of these uh revenues.

Um so um if the levy weren't to pass or the truth in taxation were to pass, we would have to uh kind of regroup a little bit and figure out um how to make those adjustments.

But um we planned for the growth.

Um I think it's very important to capture what uh Renee uh mentioned, which is this is a two percent uh is a small amount, but it's a compounding effect because each year we're limited to two percent growth.

We we can't increase the levy beyond two percent.

Um it's against state statute, so it's not uh two percent off the you know two years ago, it's off the previous year.

So every year you don't increase it is is uh lower um less revenue in the in the future.

So it's um uh it can lead to um a bigger impact uh down the road than the impact today.

And that that impact would then require us to make different decisions based upon things that we wanted to put into the budget, yes.

Uh those reasons I yes, I would have to go back and look at a couple things.

Yes.

Okay, council member white.

Thank you so much, Renee, for sub for the presentation.

Thank you for the clarification.

Um Ron.

It so it sounds like we've made a decision on the budget.

This was inclusive in that we have to take a separate vote to prepare to ensure that we execute this way, but the actual the the actual value of the amount we're voting on has decreased uh for intents and purposes.

If you go back two cents on the point zero six oh nine five, it went down that primary tax amount.

Yeah, that went down um per you know per hundred dollars.

So we don't have what it would be a tax increase.

We have a larger budget and larger amount of money, which is the increase we're seeing.

Is that am I understanding that correctly?

Because it doesn't sound like the primary rate increase.

It looks like it's going down to me.

It so when we're what we're talking about is including the two percent from year over year.

Yes.

So Ms.

Mary.

Go ahead.

Oh, the the two percent, if you really not focus on the rate but focus on the dollar amount, the 4.3 million includes the two percent increase.

When you look at the alternative rate that was run in the advertisement for truth and taxation, that does not take that into account.

It assumes that we're going to collect exactly what we did for the primary in fiscal 25, which is 4 million 41,254.

I understand.

Thank you for the clarification.

Thank you, Mayor.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

Okay, at this time.

I'd like to open up the public hearing on item 5A.

I know that we earlier had uh Miss Alvarado Maria come up and speak on this behalf.

So outside of that, Marcella, there's another blue cards.

Thank you, Mayor.

I have not received any additional requests to speak.

Okay, with that, I'd like to close the public hearing.

We got several comments from council.

Do we do a vote at this time or we continue on with the others?

Thank you, Mayor.

We can do a vote for item 5A.

Okay, so for item 5A, do we have a or we do a voice vote?

Or there's a motion by councilmember white and a second by councilmember Weiss at this time.

Okay.

We don't have a vote button.

I can do a roll call vote.

Councilmember Condi?

Aye.

Councilmember Garcia.

No.

Councilmember Solario?

No.

Councilmember Weiss?

Aye.

Councilmember White?

Aye.

Vice Mayor Nielsen.

Aye.

Mayor Paneda.

No.

Thank you.

It passed four or three.

Okay.

Let's move on.

Item 5B, public hearing.

At this time, I'd like to open up the public hearing on item 5B.

Marcella, we didn't have any uh blue cards on this item issue or this issue either, right?

Thank you, Mayor.

We have not received any requests to speak on agenda item 5B.

Okay, at this time I'd like to close the public hearing.

We have any comments from council.

We had some earlier.

Any other council comments?

Okay, at this time, can we get a oh Mayor?

This item is just for discussion only at item 5B.

All right.

So on to item 5A.

Can I please get a motion on item 5A?

Oh, we did that vote, correct?

Yep, so we're good for 5A and 5B.

So now we can move on to summary of current events.

Got it.

Okay, perfect.

Sorry, there was just so many things here on my paper.

All right.

So come summary of current events from the mayor, vice mayor, and council members.

Are there anybody here who would like to share some information?

Go ahead, Councilmember Solorio.

On Wednesday through Saturday, I had the honor of going to um San Antonio with uh women in municipal government, um, which is held every year in whatever the current president's hometown is.

Um, it was very eye-opening to see many things.

Um part of the topics were civility and um just speeing out your community, remembering who voted you into those roles, and a lot of it was learning and advocacy and uh public safety was the theme this year, so it was really good to visit during the girls' empowerment summit.

We got a chance to meet with fire and police and see what they're doing in the great city of San Antonio.

We met the first fire chief woman who in their history who just recently uh went into her role in November.

There's 1,800 firefighters in San Antonio.

A hundred and two of those are women.

So it was really cool to see that, as well as um police chief who's been there for quite a bit, and they anticipate that the next person in line for that role.

Um, that a lot of people have said this person's amazing and been there, their highest ranking um lieutenant slash going into that other role would be a woman as well.

So it would be if it did go that way, it would be a city that was run by two women, which is huge, they said.

So it was very cool to be there and be a part of that.

Thank you so much.

Vice Mayor Nielsen?

Oh, Councilmember White?

Thank you so much, Mayor.

I had the opportunity to represent Avondale and Valley Metro at the American Public Uh Transit Association's legislative conference in Washington DC a couple weeks ago.

I'm sorry I wasn't uh present here, but we did have the opportunity to connect with both of our senators, Senator Um to talk about trans transit issues, and we did actually share the benefits of microtransit and seek potential future funding because uh we we get some support with Valley Metro through that.

So I appreciate Senator Galleco's office and Senator Kelly for being available, and I also stuck my head into Representative Schweikert's office during their meeting too, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Councilmember Conde.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um, I just wanted to thank staff for putting on a great um memorial day ceremony.

And I also want to just thank um Vice Mayor Nielsen for making the remarks at the ceremony and for Councilmember Um Garcia for opening up for the pledge.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Councilmember Garcia.

Yes, thank you so much um for holding that ceremony.

It was a beautiful thank you so much for your kind words.

Um it was wonderful to meet um people from Avondale who have served.

I am very grateful for their service um to this country and that they continue serving throughout.

A lot of them volunteer, a lot of them are really involved in the community, and that event was just very special um for me.

So thank you so much.

And um, with that, I want to honor my friend um uh staff sergeant Donald Stacey who passed away in Afghanistan while I was there.

Um, and he is an Avondale resident, Olifria graduate.

Um we just happened to be deployed at the same time together, which was amazing.

Um I was the last one to see him, so every time I get to honor him and thank him for his service and for his sacrifice for this country.

I I take the time.

So thank you, everyone who participated in that and showed up.

Thank you so much.

Vice Mayor, and I just like to add my thanks to all of those who participated in it.

The comments I've received from residents is it was wonderful.

They enjoyed it.

It was a great opportunity to to come and participate.

Uh the only negative comment I've had is that maybe we need a little bit more press on it to get some more people to come and participate because it was so good this past year.

So thank you all very, very much.

Thank you.

And I I'll just uh finish up by saying thank you to all of you who attended the the ceremony on Monday.

My oldest was getting married, and so we were coming back in from town from that.

Otherwise, I definitely would have loved to have been there.

But on Saturday, I was at the Colorado World Summer Reading Program kickoff event with our parks rec and libraries.

And let me tell you there were so many kids there that were so excited to be in the simulators to color to cut things out to make posters.

There are many different uh businesses and organizations there.

From I mean, I'd hate to list a couple and miss them, so I'm not gonna name all of them, but uh staff was there, staff was great.

Um library staff was library staff was there as well, they did a great job as well.

Uh thank you to Phoenix Raceway for hosting that.

As I shared with them uh and the team is that you know other municipalities offer their library for the day, and it was really cool for our families to be able to experience that at Phoenix Raceway.

Some of it have never been there before, uh let alone exposure to some of the different areas that are usually off not off limits, but you don't see all the time.

Thank you, Corey, to you and your team, and thank you to the library staff as well.

All right, there we go.

Can I get a adjourn uh motion?

Mr.

Mayor.

Uh Count Mr.

Chair and Board.

Um, we're gonna have a presentation from our district treasurer, uh, Renee.

Evening, Chair, Vice Chair, and members of the Alamar Community Facilities District Board.

We're here tonight for the fiscal 2026 final budget.

So the fiscal 2026 budget for the LMR CFD is a total of 10.9 million dollars.

The district is planning to issue debt in fiscal 2026 and will levy a secondary property tax rate.

The combined property tax rate will be a total of four dollars and fifteen cents, which is assessed only to the property that is within the boundaries of the CFD.

The primary rate is 30 cents for 100 assessed valuation, which is used for operations of the district, and the secondary rate is limited to $3.85 for $100 assessed valuation and is used to repay the debt of the district.

So our recommendation is to hold a public hearing for fiscal year 2026 final budget and tax levy and to adopt CFD resolution 2-2025 setting forth the final budget for fiscal year 2026 and CFD resolution 3-2025 setting the property tax levy for fiscal year ending June 30th, 2026.

And we'll take any questions.

Any questions?

Okay.

At this time, I'd like to open up the public hearing on the proposed fiscal 2026 budget and tax levy.

Thank you.

We have not received any requests to speak.

Okay, at this time I'd like to close the public hearing.

And if there are no questions, we can get a vote.

A second from council member conde.

So at this time, um that item is a public hearing for discussion only, and then this motion on the screen is for adjournment, and then the vote will take after this item.

So it this at this time is a motion to adjourn.

Okay, let me first apologize to everybody here because I am meeting reading several different pages and I am I got myself mixed up, so I I apologize.

Here.

Okay, now can we get a motion?

There we go.

We've got a motion from Councilmember White.

A second from Councilmember Condi.

Please vote.

Did you hear me?

All right.

So at this time we are adjourning into executive session.

We got to get a second.

Please drive safe and thank you for being here tonight.

And we'll be back after the executive session.

And if for those who are listening online, that concludes all of the meetings for tonight.

The recording will now turn off.

And thank you, everyone, for coming.
