0:39Yeah, you're in my thing.
0:50Uh they're in charge, so they have a total difference.
0:54Oh, it's just what I want to do.
1:07But I was leaving Ohio they were going from fifty to seventy-five.
1:27They're like whatever.
1:31Um how much Phoenix gets just for like all like just to spend on the training.
1:50We might probably have a few minutes.
2:03Good evening, Charlene.
2:04Uh hi Cooper, how are you?
2:12You're lucky my name isn't on your check.
2:55I guess it's clear thing.
3:24I have two more words to go.
3:33So I figured it's a good thing.
4:01I was just after reading one that scale controls.
4:11I'm afraid of you would design all this.
4:32And the thing is we can get rid of it.
4:36So I'm doing all the primaries and would when they give us to all this one.
4:45Share over the wonderful questions.
5:00Mayor, when you're ready.
5:17Good evening, everyone, and welcome to tonight's Eloy City Council meeting.
5:22Today is Tuesday, May 26th.
5:24The time is approximately 6 p.m.
5:26Madam Clerk, may I have a roll call, please?
5:28Councilmember Vodraska.
5:32Councilmember Curtis is excused.
5:36Councilmember Schneider.
5:38Councilmember Garcia.
5:41Councilmember Galindo.
5:46Now may we all please rise for a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance led by Vice Mayor Tarango.
6:31Okay, we have no scheduled or unscheduled public appearances tonight.
6:37And that just opens the door and green lights your mayor to go with his announcements.
6:42And he happens to have five pages worth tonight.
6:46On Tuesday, May 12th at the Sun Card of Metropolitan Planning Organization, or Scampo, as we so so note it.
6:54We voted Doug Coleman into the board.
6:57Doug is the governor's appointee to ADOT, and we look forward to getting to know him and working together on transportation issues that impact Eloy and our region.
7:07Then on Tuesday the 14th, along with several council council members and our city manager, I attended the discussion on energy in Penel County, a kind of power in Panel, if you will.
7:18The panel was very informative and focused on the future and direction of energy development in our region.
7:31Discussions included solar, natural gas, nuclear energy, and increasing the needs for energy storage solutions.
7:39And to continue that conversation, later the next week, I attended the Nuclear Energy Expo hosted by SRP at their Tempe campus.
7:49One of the big takeaways from this is that SRP expects to see a thirty-five percent increase in energy demand over the next several years.
8:19I I I might not have studied electricity.
8:56Then on the 22nd, it was the summer kickoff at the Eloy Community Pool.
9:04It was great seeing so many residents out enjoying the event.
9:08And I'll let others here who attended the event expand on the details.
9:35And we thank all the residents and businesses that donated as well.
9:39This is exactly what community is all about.
9:41And the Tumbleweed has stepped up more than once and done this.
9:45And we really thank them for being the partners that they choose to be with this city.
9:51And then finally, nope.
9:55And then on Memorial Day, the Eloy Chamber of Commerce in the city hosted our veterans' remembrance ceremony at the Eloy Cemetery.
10:02Skydivers, planes, and a helicopter were all part of honoring those who have served and sacrificed so much for our country.
10:09And Eloy, we will never forget our veterans.
10:12And a big thank you to everyone who made this event so special.
10:19Lastly, today, along with a group of Robeson residents, we met with the Arizona State Attorney General to discuss issues in a rate case with Picasso Water and Sue that is impacting the residents of Robeson Ranch.
10:33We thank the AG for her representation in this matter, and we hope it works out in our favor.
10:42So with that, I'll go to my right.
10:44Anything to announce there, Councilmember.
10:50Just a couple of things.
11:10And just witnessed people coming and coming, and it was well attended, well participated.
11:19And all I can say is the pancakes they served at the Tumbleweed were fantastic.
11:26So if you get a chance to get there, I think they serve them normally on Sundays.
11:31I have no personal interest in their business, but just want to let you know that they were great.
11:39On Monday, uh yesterday, I attended the Memorial Day ceremony at the Eloy Cemetery.
11:45And wow, uh this is my uh third year going there.
11:49And um I just if you haven't been there for that service, I I strongly urge you to do it.
11:57Um it's what we as a community um should be, especially on that day is honoring those that have served and um giving us the freedoms that we have.
12:13Um it was wonderful.
12:14The vice mayor, thank you for a wonderful speech.
12:18You did a great job.
12:20Um then uh from a personal perspective, um uh asked the mayor if it was okay if I did this.
12:28Um just wanted to announce that I am a grandfather for the first time.
12:33I had a baby granddaughter.
12:37Uh Audrey Grace Vodrasco will now carry on my name.
12:42And uh, you know, I don't no longer have to worry about changing it to Smith or Jones.
12:51Thank you, Councilmember, and congratulations to your whole family.
12:57I last week I was busy with graduations.
13:01I had a grandson graduate.
13:02Thankfully, he got talked into well, decided to go to the Air Force, so I'm happy about that.
13:07Um, and niece graduated, so I've been busy with graduations, but I um and my husband had surgery, so I've been taking care of somebody for the last couple weeks, but I did go to the Memorial Day event, and um since Andy wasn't able to do it this year.
13:26I did the closing remarks, and I've been to that event.
13:30For years and years I've gone, and it they always do a good job, and it's always it.
13:37It's a special place in my heart to make sure that we honor our veterans and our um those who gave their lives for us to be able to be where we are today, to be able to speak our minds and and do what we do every day.
13:52So um that's all I have to say.
13:59Yep, I pretty much followed the mayor around where all the events that he went to.
14:05Uh, but just a couple of key points that um I was able to speak to some of the panelists at the energy uh in Panau County Forum.
14:14And one of the things that I did learn is that in dealing with solar farms and and uh solar service in Arizona, there is legislation and policy that after 20 years when these uh businesses are no longer viable, they do have to clean up the area afterwards.
14:36They do have to make the area and uh back to where it can possibly return to farming or possibly return to uh another type of business, but they can't just walk away like most of the big box stores do and leave an empty shell there.
14:53They're required to clean up afterwards.
15:00Um the summer splash was amazing, Chad and uh the community service department.
15:05The water bomb was fun just to watch them, and most importantly, just to watch all the families that just had a blast that day and and enjoyed everything about that day.
15:17Um, speaking of graduations, it was also the Santa Cruz Valley Union High School's graduation this week.
15:23Um excellent job by Chief Kelly Weddle um on the keynote speech, and um to all of the graduates that I gave cards to.
15:34One of the resounding messages was remember your past and the people that supported you to get where you at today, and always remember you can come back home and take your skills and everything that you've learned and bring it back to build the city that helped build you.
15:52So that was uh the message.
15:55Um I did attend the senior citizens uh and uh was able to up to date.
16:02We have given out 26 Lions Club uh vision vouchers in the at the senior center for the seniors there, and I've heard nothing but positive feedback from the seniors there that uh they really enjoy the service there.
16:19The memorial service was uh amazing.
16:23Um, on a personal note, I've always shared that.
16:26Uh I sent three brothers to Vietnam, and I had two return, but quite honestly, they never left uh that service.
16:36So it was it was very nice to go to the service.
16:40Vice Mayor Trango, you did an excellent job.
16:44Um, a few thank yous.
16:45I want to thank community service, the park, the cemetery, the the whole city of Eloy was just pristine.
16:55It looked beautiful.
16:57Um, the Eloy Lions Club and the Eloy Masonic Lodge were the ones that put up the flags down Main Street and the flags at the cemetery.
17:06Thank you so much to them.
17:08Um they they did an excellent job.
17:12And um to the Eloy PD fire or honor guard, you guys were amazing.
17:20I mean, what what a way to cap begin the event and cap the event.
17:26Um council member Vedrosca, you are in for the time of your life.
17:31I am four years into it, and I am the happiest I've ever been with that little grandchild of mine.
17:38So congratulations to you.
17:41And that's about it.
17:47Well, my week started off with the high school graduation.
17:51They did a great job.
17:52It was a nice event.
17:53Um they must have invited every member of their family they had.
17:58The um Valedictorians, because we had multiple valedictorians all did a wonderful job.
18:03Took me over into into Friday for the summer kickoff.
18:06And it was a great day.
18:09Our staff down at the city pool are perfect.
18:14They do a good job, they were responsive.
18:16I know uh early at the early start.
18:19I was talking to Chad, and he was telling us that they had they've been working drills all week long, and they were expecting a drill at the at the event.
18:29And I don't know if it was a drill or not, but we actually had an actual event of a couple of our uh lifeguards how to jump in and help a girl out of there.
18:38So I'm assuming that was real, right?
18:41So they did a wonderful job.
18:43We handed out water.
18:44The mayor joined me, council member Glendal joined me, left some cases behind for the city staff, and what was left over, took me over into Saturday and donated to the um at the time we to the PDM fire.
18:56So that was also a great time.
18:59Those guys are always up to helping everybody.
19:02Monday went to the Memorial Day services.
19:08The the event was really well put together.
19:12This and we had we were able to clearly hear everybody.
19:18Attendance, I think was a little bit lower than normal, but things changed throughout the years.
19:23You know, uh that was great.
19:26The new Romana that was put in on the south side of the park.
19:30One of my classmates decided to take it over for the day, and she sat there the entire time.
19:35Um it's a great romato.
19:37You can just see everything and hear everything from there.
19:40So that I think that was the end of my week.
19:45Nothing more to add than what the already been spoken, just congratulations as well to Mr.
19:51Braska and get ready to babysit.
19:57Yeah, one final thing at the uh at the summit kickoff.
20:01I was impressed with the level of attentiveness and willingness and attitude of all the young ones working that lifeguard situation.
20:12They these young ones really took this serious.
20:14They were that they were right on.
20:16Them whistles were popping.
20:17If a kid ran four feet, there was a whistle popping, and then they stop running.
20:21It was that was pretty good to see.
20:24Kudos for all you did.
20:26All right, now that brings us to item C City Manager announcements.
20:31Mayor, members of council.
20:33So only two items for me today.
20:34Um, this is probably the last time you're gonna hear it, but it's again just a reminder next week on June 1st, Monday at 6 p.m.
20:41at City Hall Council Chambers.
20:43We have the adoption of the general plan.
20:45So this is one of the final steps that we need to do from the city's perspective uh to adopt the final plan before it's put on the election on the November ballot.
20:53So again, just want to thank community development, want to thank Logan Simpson and then most importantly, the community for coming out and participating in that effort.
21:00Uh we received thousands of responses, had a significant turnout from the community, um, a high participation rate, which I'm sure Dan and his team will go into detail next Monday, but really excited to finally cap off that initiative after we've been working on it over the last year.
21:14Uh this is gonna be a significant update, because I think the last time we did this was when back in 2011 or something like that.
21:21So it's much needed that we get this update done.
21:24The last update I have is Saturday, June 6th from 6 a.m.
21:30We have the community yard sale.
21:32So this is gonna be the first one this series.
21:34We're gonna have another one in September, but the location is gonna be at Main Street Park, and so whether you're looking to shop or you're looking to sell, um, there's gonna be an opportunity for you to take place in that.
21:43It's usually pretty packed, so make sure that you go online and you register on our online portal.
21:48You'll be able to find that and reserve your space online at the registration portal, which is located on the community services website.
21:54Uh, make sure you get in there and you register.
21:56Uh Chad, did you know is there like a final date on when they can register by chance?
22:01No, just all right, just as soon as you can.
22:05But that's all the updates I have, Mayor.
22:08Yeah, and the yard sale's always been pretty good.
22:10Yeah, I've always left with a few items.
22:14Okay, that brings us to item number seven, consent agenda.
22:19All items listed with an asterisk are considered to be routine matters and will be enacted by one motion and one roll call vote of the council.
22:26There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a council member sir request, in which event the item will be removed from the consent agenda and considered in its normal sequence on the agenda.
22:37Do any council members would like any items removed?
22:43I'm looking for a motion to approve consent agenda.
22:46I'm looking for a second.
22:48Second, Madam Clerk.
22:50Councilmember Garcia.
22:52Yes, Councilmember Galindo.
22:54Yes, Councilmember Vodraska.
22:57Yes, Vice Mayor Torango.
23:01Councilmember Schneider.
23:08Okay, next is section number eight, which is business, possible discussion and/or action on the following.
23:15And it will be item A to approve resolution number two six one six six one, declaring the city of Eloy purchasing policy as a public record.
23:31Mayor, members of the council.
23:33Um the item before your resolution 26 1661 is just declaring the uh purchasing policy, a public record.
23:42Then I'll go into the uh next item, which is B to discuss it more.
23:53Yeah, because have to declare the public.
23:56All right, anybody have any questions on this?
24:02Hearing none, do we hear a motion to read by title adoption of resolution 26-1661?
24:13All in favor say aye.
24:16Hearing none, motion carries.
24:20Resolution number 26, 1661.
24:24A resolution by the mayor and council of the city of Eloy, Penau County, Arizona, declaring as a public record that certain document filed with the city clerk and entitled amendments to City of Eloy purchasing policy dated June 25th, 2018.
24:42Do we have a motion to approve resolution 26-1661 as present?
24:51Roll call, please, Madam Clerk.
24:56Councilmember Garcia.
24:58Councilmember Galindo.
25:00Councilmember Vadraska?
25:05Councilmember Schneider.
25:10Okay, that brings us to Section B.
25:12Approve ordinance number 26-1001.
25:16Amending sections 2-134 through 2-141 of Chapter 2, Article VI 5i.
25:29City Eloy purchasing policy of the City of Eloy Code by adopting by reference that a certain document entitled Amendments to the City of Eloy Purchasing Policy dated May 26, 2006.
25:42Providing for separate and establishing an effective date, Mr.
25:48Mayor, members of the council.
25:49Tonight, uh, you know, staff's recommending approval of ordinance 261001.
25:56So this uh the this update to the purchasing policy, the last time we updated it was back in about 2018.
26:04And at that time, um the limit, um, we adjusted all the threshold limits at that time.
26:11Um, the maximum limit was 20,000, and that would require council's approval.
26:16So one of the goals of staff and administration was to get this updated because our purchasing thresholds were low.
26:25I compared eight different cities throughout the Pennell County, you know, up in, you know, cities really similar our size, and found that we were on the lowest end of those.
26:38Um most of those are ranging anywhere from 30 to 50,000.
26:42There was one city that had a threshold over 100,000 that went to council.
26:48So when we looked through this, um we looked uh revised the language, we looked through all these different purchasing policies and found you know language that was would make our purchasing policy stronger.
27:01So we did we went through cleaned up the language, uh, we did new purchasing thresholds.
27:08So instead of right now, our purchasing policy, anything over 20 has to go to council.
27:13So what we're recommending uh is new thresholds.
27:17So from zero to 10, it would be more competitive bidding.
27:21Then from 10 to 30,000, they'd be the telephonic or verbal quotes that would have to be obtained from 30 to 50 would be written quotes, and then from 50 over would be the uh need to have council approval.
27:39Um we also are asking to change the the limit because right now we have it anything over 500 on a uh order, has to get a purchase order.
27:49We're taking that up to a thousand dollars for it.
27:52And so that would that'd be cleaned up in our policy.
27:55We added language to what a contract, you know, uh a job order contractors uh uh JOC which is um on there, the other contracts, some other languages that we didn't have before in there.
28:09We also put in the some of the language from Title 34, which is um in the state statute.
28:15We found that a lot of the policies out there had that language in there and mention it, so we added that within our purchasing policy.
28:23Um the language changes, the thresholds.
28:26We feel that uh not only myself and McKinsey, but all the all the directors feel the limits are would be really good for their part their policy or their departments and in doing ongoing operations and contracts, it's still required that anything uh the city manager has to sign all contracts under 50,000 and anything over 50 is you know the mayor has to sign it because it has to go to council.
28:55So um looking at this, we feel that the updated per procurement procedures, the new methods, and the additional guidance really strengthens our policy as a whole.
29:07So um that's what uh is before council tonight for consideration.
29:12Um, and then if it is passed tonight, it has to sit for 30 days and it would be effective the first or July 1st of the start of the fiscal year.
29:24Yeah, everything has gone up, so it's only natural.
29:27This I suppose should go up.
29:29Does anybody on council have any questions considering the new amounts?
29:37It's not opposite, it's just it's uh uh clarification or just for my information mainly.
29:44When you uh the city when they approve a purchase, in this case we're gonna uh I guess increase the uh uh value of which uh a department manager whatever can approve.
30:00When the payment is made and a check is issued, is that check then go back to approval to that uh department manager or what's the approval process for making the payment of something that now it's been authorized?
30:12Mayor, uh Councilman Snyder.
30:14So let's just say that the they have a they want to buy something for five thousand dollars.
30:20So what they do right now is they send a a request over to finance to get a purchase order, they get a purchase order, that purchase order goes back to the department so they can purchase, do everything.
30:33So once they get that invoice in, they submit it back to finance with the purchase order on the invoice, it's stamped okay to pay, the line item, they okay it.
30:44We cut a check to the vendor and it's off.
30:47So from that point, the departments are done with their stuff once they have the invoice and they submit it back to us for payment.
30:56So that's basically where the oversight comes in then.
30:59That's that's where my question is.
31:01Anybody else, any questions?
31:08So I also talked to um council member Curtis about this.
31:13I trust the city completely.
31:15I just I guess I have heartburn about jumping up $30,000.
31:21Because I mean, basically you're looking at the price of a car.
31:24I mean, so you're saying that a department can go buy a car without other than you, I mean, obviously the city manager's approval, but I just thirty thousand dollars in what is it now?
31:40You said 2018, it was at 20,000.
31:43So you're talking about that large of an increase and in that amount of time.
31:49I just I have a little bit of heartburn with that.
31:52Um I don't even know if I like 40,000 and one dollars is what um council member Curtis was mentioning, but I I do have heartburn with this large of an increase.
32:07I just want to make that known.
32:12Anybody else have anything for Mr.
32:15I agree with Council or Vice Mayor Terenggal.
32:19I kind of was questioning that increase of 30,000, but I'm curious how many requests do we get between 20 and 50,000.
32:28Mayor, Councilman Garcia and Vice Mayor Trango, a lot of those purchases that are over let's say that are 10,000 or more, you know, if they're capital items, they're already in our budget.
32:42So when we go over budget, we're already identifying them in our capital projects.
32:47If anything that is pretty much you may have a oh uh a contract renewal, but we've already required it's a re-annual contract that goes already in, you know, we talk about subscription renewals.
32:59If it's uh 20, you know, 38,000 playground equipment, for example, that's gonna be in the CIP.
33:06That's gonna be part of that council's gonna heat council is gonna be aware this is a purchase for $38,000.
33:14It was approved in the budget because we went through it, so as the year goes by.
33:18Now, if it's an unbudgeted item, that's a different thing.
33:21It has to go through the city manager has to sign off on it, and then also we always let the mayor know what this is an unbudgeted item.
33:29But mostly any major capital item that I say is already over like 10,000 or more, we've identified that in the CIP.
33:40So if it's even if it's a study we do a parks master plan or something like that, and it's 45,000, we've identified in that the CIP where it's coming from.
33:52So you already know that these are the major purchases that we're gonna have coming through the year.
33:58Other than that, those are the major purchases that we would end up having that are identified in the CIP that we identify them, or when we go through the budget process, we point them out that you know this has gone up by a 45,000, you know, $30,000 contractual obligation.
34:15And so you're approving in the budget anyways.
34:18So you know, we always point those out.
34:21If it's something that's budgeted, it's gonna be pointed out in the when we go through the budget throughout the year.
34:29Yeah, but I'd like to add some other comments.
34:32I think this goes back to where my question was an oversight.
34:35I think we have to recognize that each department has got a budget that they're working to.
34:42And that uh department uh manager department uh head is responsible for that budget, and there is some oversight, whether it be through finance or the city manager of that budget.
34:54So uh that's where I was coming from.
35:00So that's where I was coming from last about what is the oversight, because having been through that with a large budget and spending and uh you know that budget gets reviewed every month with the uh finance it gets reported.
35:10So if somebody's going uh rogue and spending a lot of money, it jumps out real fast.
35:16Yeah, so I think uh there may be a case where uh it's questionable, but then that is gonna show up right away because when the release for payment comes in, the finance are gonna question about well, why'd you do this?
35:29And maybe uh there's well you went overboard here and it's probably the last but anyway.
35:34I think there's some uh oversight there that kind of uh limits how rogue they can go, but also I think we have to give some responsibility to the individual department managers too of maintaining their budget and spending money wisely.
35:48So just having like I say having been there.
35:54Yeah, the only comment I had is regarding um Councilmember Tarango.
35:58Uh I also talked to Councilmember Curtis, and she just wanted me to relay that yeah, she had some heartburn on the situation as well.
36:05Um she doesn't like where the current allotments are set, and if she had to recommend something, she'd say double the existing policy right now.
36:13So that'd go from zero to ten thousand for department discretion, ten to twenty thousand for telephonic quotes, uh twenty to forty thousand for written, and then basically anything above forty thousand and one uh as Councilmember Tarango discussed is what she'd be comfortable with.
36:32Uh just to give some perspective.
36:34Um I all my work I've been in the private sector and um my last position, I was director of finance for uh a large corporation, and there is oversight built into the process.
36:52And um I believe the city is doing their due diligence.
36:57I see this as this upgrade in the policy uh actually efficiency.
37:04Uh I can see where you know they don't have to come back to the council three, four weeks sometimes to get it on the agenda.
37:14Um I think we and I do see your concerns, um, fellow council members, but I think we kind of have to sometimes put the trust in the the process itself.
37:28Um but uh I just wanted to make that comment.
37:34To clarify, I worked with this budget for several years.
37:39I know the ways around this budget.
37:41So nobody's pulling any wool over my eyes because we know how to get sole source vendors.
37:47We knew how to do that stuff.
37:49So I just want to make sure that it's concerned, it's a lot of money.
37:54I mean, we all know we can't get a car nowadays for 50 grand, but um I just wanted to make sure that you that everybody understood that it is a large jump.
38:06And so I just want to make sure that you understand that I trust you guys completely.
38:12I've worked with you, Mr.
38:13Wright, for several several years, and I've told you I you're a great finance manager, and and I'm glad you're here and McKinsey, I trust you wholeheartedly.
38:24I just want to make sure that you know, with such a large jump that I will take a deep breath and accept what the council decides.
38:38Just a quick comment.
38:40As someone who has just completed and submitted the state budget for the grant that I work under.
38:47Um the state has not caught up with the uh inflation and expenses and how the cost of things have gone up.
38:57Um our limit is still 25 dollars without with you know, needing approval and and needing to submit it.
39:07Um their mileage rate is at.46 still.
39:13Um Penell Counties is at point seven, seven five, seven two.
39:20Um Penau County consistently gives raises, uh increases benefits.
39:27The state doesn't recognize that.
39:29So um understanding that you have to work within their limitations and within the the cost that Panel County is giving you has been very difficult.
39:44I appreciate the fact that you understand that and you're bringing this price increase and understanding that that costs are going up and and for us, you know, with working with the state.
40:00I mean, if you know, just to order a laptop takes me, you know, at least six weeks of correspondence and budgets and training and approvals and and you know, and I'm just like I I can't communicate because I don't have the electronic equipment that I need to replace that and stuff.
40:15So yeah, uh I appreciate the fact that you're bringing this to us and that uh the finance understands I understand the oversight.
40:24I appreciate that there's oversight.
40:26There's oversight with the state too, trust me.
40:29They um, but um I yeah, I'm I'm happy that you're bringing this to us and that you're giving the uh other departments that opportunity to realize that uh prices have gone up.
40:43And as far as the vice mayor's comments, yeah, he learned to um adjust and stuff.
40:52Um you know, there's they have a 25 dollar gift limit, but it's per gift, so I mean, I I'm embarrassed to give a 25 dollar gift, you know.
41:05So I give two gifts, two gift cards, you know, but they're both under 25 dollars.
41:11So it it it's uh it's a fine road that you have to follow and stuff, but staying in compliance.
41:20I have full trust in you, Brian, that you will make sure that everything is in the budget, that everything has already been approved, and you know, giving the departments the leeway to understand that you know they they have to run their departments with the cost of cost constantly going up.
41:41So thank you for that.
41:45And to Councilman Vodraska's point, I do trust the process, and I trust the fact that oversight is built in.
41:52And Councilmember Snyder, I don't think that we're gonna have rogue operators, but if somebody went rogue, we would catch it pretty quickly.
42:00So and by doing this now, it keeps us from coming back to have to do it again in three, four, or five years.
42:06So I'm for the process.
42:08So anybody else here have anything to add?
42:16Okay, this time to hear a motion to read by title the adoption of ordinance two six-101.
42:29All in favor say aye.
42:33Hearing none, motion carries.
