Supervisor Hickman talked about this collaborative project with the slide above for
visual aid. He said this involved the City of Surprise, integrating active and passive
recreational areas within the district-owned land behind the McMicken Dam. The
plan was to integrate this with the Maricopa Trail. The City of Surprise would manage
the public interface while the Flood Control District would manage the flood plain
related to McMicken Dam Impound area. He stated that partnerships were necessary
to make these projects a reality. He named other similar partnerships in Maricopa
County that have relied on regional collaboration. Additionally, these projects
showcase the County’s ability to create multiuse infrastructure that enhances flood
control, recreation, and community development in the Valley. The dam keeps
Surprise, Sun City West, and Luke Airforce Base safe from flooding. The Flood
Basin, located behind the dam, is unbuildable and can be used as a recreational
area.
Supervisor Hickman asked the members of the Surprise City Council to speak.
Bob Wingenroth, City Manager, spoke and said the Board of Supervisors are a great
team and the City of Surprise is excited to work with them. Mr. Wingenroth said the
Board is knowledgeable, possesses problem solving skills, grace, and the
partnership that has been established over the last 18 months has been outstanding.
Chris Judd, Councilmember, spoke and was glad that R.J. Cardin was able to be
present today for this item. Mr. Judd said Mr. Cardin has been instrumental in many
of the Parks projects in the Surprise area. He said this project idea focused on
keeping open conservation space for recreational uses and preserve the Maricopa
Trail that runs through it. Mr. Judd thanked Mr. Kunasek for the inspiration to move
forward with this project and thanked the Board for their leadership.
Mayor Skip Hall, said he felt fortunate to be the Mayor of Surprise, a vibrant city with
a great City Council and City Manager. Mayor Hall was very complementary to the
Board and the City Manager and said it has been a pleasure to work with all of them.
He said the County and City of Surprise have worked together for the good of the
constituents. Mayor Hall commented on the outstanding hiking trails, the White Tank
Mountains that are amazing and the need to preserve the wild lands and the animals
that inhabit the Valley. He stated he was very excited to embark on this project.

Andy Kunasek, spoke about the importance of the Flood Control District for the flood
control as well as the multiuse, recreational development that the Valley has
advanced over time. With each iteration, the taxpayers pay the cost and reap the
benefits of the land. Mr. Kunasek said the Flood Control engineers have served the
County leadership well.
Supervisor Hickman thinks of this as multigenerational leadership and has been a
natural extension of a vision started long ago.
Jen Pokorski echoed the City Manager comments and that leadership has been
outstanding from this projects’ inception. She said the blending of uses in the flood
plains (flood control in the rainy season, and recreational opportunities during the
other parts of the year) has been well thought out throughout the Valley and Flood
Control has been a great partner in its execution.
Motion to approve by Director Clint Hickman, seconded by Director Bill Gates

10/23/2024
Page 11 of 121
apparent throughout the area as aircraft transient to and from the Barry M. Goldwater
Gunnery Range and other flight areas.
Luke Air Force Base may launch and recover aircraft in either direction off its runways
oriented to the southwest and northeast. Noise will be more noticeable during overcast sky
conditions due to noise reflections off the clouds.

midnight, Monday through Friday, but some limited flying will occur outside these hours and
during most weekends.
For further information, please check the Luke Air Force Base website or contact the
Maricopa County Planning and Development Department.”
Such notification shall be permanently posted on not less than a 3 foot by 5 foot sign in front

service will be provided to the facility. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, local
fire protection jurisdiction review and approval will be required.
u. Amendments to the zone change shall be processed as a revised application in
accordance with Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance requirements.
v. Noncompliance with the conditions of approval will be treated as a violation in accordance

w. Non-compliance with the regulations administered by the Maricopa County Environmental
Services Department, Maricopa County Department of Transportation, Drainage Review
Division, Planning and Development Department, or the Flood Control District of Maricopa
County may be grounds for initiating a revocation of this Zone Change as set forth in the
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
x. The granting of this Zone Change has been at the request of the applicant, with the
consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property owner to enjoy
uses in excess of those permitted by the land use existing on the date of the application,
subject to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition of approval, the
property shall change to the land use designation that existed on the date of the application.
Formal Meeting Minutes
10/23/2024
Page 12 of 121
It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that revocation due to the failure to comply with any
conditions does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide,
sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in the value of the property
from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation. The Zone Change
enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Zone Change is granted
and changing to the prior land use designation results in the same value of the property as
if the Zone Change had never been granted.

to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property shall be
considered for reversion to the zoning that existed on the date of application pursuant to
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance requirements. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that

to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, and at the time of
expiration of the Special Use Permit, the property shall revert to the zoning that existed on
the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to
the failure to comply with any conditions, or the expiration of the Special Use Permit, does
not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess
the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value it
held on the date of application due to such revocation or expiration of the Special Use Permit.
The Special Use Permit enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date
the Special Use Permit is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value
of the property as if the Special Use Permit had never been granted.

Mr. Mominee stated there have been a variety of entities who have come into this
neighborhood wanting to buy up and change the use of the land. He said it has yet to
be determined if Legacy Recovery is a good neighbor because they have only been in
business for 12 months.
Mr. Mominee stated that the above slide reflects some of the concerns of the
community members. He said the lack of communication on the part of the owners has
created mistrust.

He summarized the case and said that zoning is intended to manage expectations
within the community and in this case, the established zoning code does not include a
SUP of this type.
Catherine Pipenbrink, resident and attending remotely, spoke in opposition. She said
she lives within 300 feet, directly across from Legacy Recovery Center on Lindsay
Road. She asked the Board to uphold the existing rural residential zoning that is in
place. Ms. Pipenbrink said they purchased their home with the understanding that the
zoning would remain in force and the operation of a for-profit residential facility is not
in keeping with the existing zoning.
Chairman Sellers asked Tom Ellsworth, Planning and Development Director, to give an
overview and to clarify what sort of flexibility there is.
Mr. Ellsworth reviewed the SUP request information. He said the existing zoning code
allows for up to 10 unrelated individuals to live in the residence (community residence)

for therapeutic purposes per the American for Disabilities Act (ADA). Mr. Ellsworth said
the request before the Board today was a SUP, to allow Legacy Recovery Center to
house up to 16 individuals, to operate as a group care facility. If this SUP is approved,
the applicant will need to file for a change of occupancy from residential to institutional
and apply for the corresponding permits as required. The objections that were voiced
had to do with water and wastewater service. Mr. Ellsworth said what is at issue is the
addition of six individuals and not be detrimental to the neighborhood.
Mr. Ellsworth said that with the opposition received, it constitutes a legal protest and
triggers a supermajority vote of at least 4/0 approval from the Board. He concluded that
all the input from the opposition was received by the Planning and Zoning Commission
for their hearing that was held September 26, 2024.
Vice Chairman Galvin asked staff what criteria the Board looks at for an approval of a
SUP. Mr. Ellsworth said it is a discretionary approval of a use that may not be customary
in that zoning, and to look at potential concerns that may arise because of the SUP.
The Planning and Zoning Commission look at the details of each request and advise
the Board accordingly.
Chairman Sellers asked about the number of existing residents and was that just
allowed or was there a process that was followed? Mr. Ellsworth said there are
necessary steps that were taken through the Planning and Development Department
for verification.
Chairman Sellers clarified that federal law permits these sorts of changes to occur. Mr.
Ellsworth confirmed the Federal Fair Housing Act allows for this and he provided details
on how those laws are implemented.
Chairman Sellers asked about the term for this SUP? Mr. Ellsworth said the term was
20 years and if there are violations, it will come back to the Board for discussion.
Chairman Sellers said he has talked with the City of Chandler and there have been no
problems reported regarding this address.
Supervisor Hickman commented on the alarm issue made by neighbors. It was
confirmed that the alarm that was going off was the neighbor’s alarm and it was pointed

10/23/2024
Page 54 of 121
at the Legacy property. When residents walked on the perimeter of the property, the
motion detected alarm would go off. There was further discussion on how to remedy
that going forward.
Chairman Sellers asked if there are any HOA rules that are being violated by approving
this? Mr. Ellsworth said the HOA deed restrictions are made with the residents and is
not a matter for the County.
Vice Chairman Galvin said the Planning Commission gave a unanimous
recommendation for approval. Staff, this morning, confirmed the property fronts onto
Lindsay Road and will act as a transition buffering large lot residential from the arterial.
This is an existing facility that appears as a very large single-family residence from the
road and surrounding properties. The core of the question before us today is whether
the existing facility is limited to 10 residents or can it increase to 16 residents.

to conditions ‘a’ through ‘h’ by Supervisor Thomas Galvin, seconded by Supervisor Bill
Gates

DEANNEXATION FROM THE CITY OF PHOENIX ORDINANCE NO. S-50749 TO
MARICOPA COUNTY
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 9-471.03 convene the scheduled public hearing to determine if the
public interest is served by de-annexing road right-of-way from City of Phoenix jurisdiction to
Maricopa County in accordance with City of Phoenix Ordinance No. Ordinance No. S-50749
and the analysis of the impact of the requested de-annexation.
Right-of-way location: Southwest Corner of Broadway Road and 67th Avenue. Supervisory
District No. 5
Formal Meeting Minutes
10/23/2024
Page 55 of 121
After reviewing the analysis and hearing those that may appear for or against the request, if
the Board determines that the public interest is served by this de-annex/annexation action,
a vote of approval shall direct the following:
1. File an ordinance setting forth the legal description of the public right-of-way and declaring
the return of the right-of-way contingent on the fulfillment of the additional conditions of the
statute in the Office of the Clerk of the Board.
2. Pursuant to ARS § 9-471.03(F), set a public hearing for November 20, 2024 to de-annex
road subject right-of-way from City of Phoenix jurisdiction to Maricopa County, in accordance
with City of Phoenix Ordinance No. S-50749, and the Ordinance approved by the Board of
Supervisors on this date.
3. Send notice of the date, time and place of the hearing on the requested action to each
owner of real property subject to taxation adjacent to the subject public right-of-way at least
twenty (20) days prior to the hearing.
Legal description of the roadway to be de-annexed, identified as Exhibit "A", is attached.
MCDOT Analysis: This roadway/intersection is currently a MCDOT roadway identified as a
Principal Arterial requiring additional right of way to achieve ultimate width for intersection
improvements. A portion of the required right of way lies within the jurisdiction of the City of
Phoenix. The Deannexation will ensure that all required right of way lies within County
jurisdiction allowing consistent roadway design, maintenance, and enforcement abilities.
Financial Status: Cost of the roadway development falls to the developer with no initial cost
to Maricopa County. Cost of maintenance moving forward is typical of roadway maintenance
cost and will be the responsibility of Maricopa County. The cost of roadway maintenance
provides a benefit to the traveling public.
The Board action will result to add 0.0002 square miles to County ownership and enable the
County to assume responsibility for road maintenance.

Lezley Shepherd, resident, said she is in favor of education about the holocaust for
future generations. She said history repeats itself and corrupt government needs to be
kept in check.
Joe Hopf, resident, said he wants the education to be the truth about what the German
government did to its population. He asked who writes the curriculum about the
Nuremberg Trials.
Roger Maib, resident, spoke in favor of education that brings to light the travesties of
the holocaust. He recommended two books that talked about propaganda and how the
government manipulated the Jewish people in the holocaust.
The Clerk read the following names into the record, who registered in favor: Molly
Ruben, Rabbi Jeffrey from the AZ Jewish Historical Society, Frank Jacobson with Hilton
Family Holocaust Education Center, Sheryl Bronkesh
Ruby Stanlis, resident, and 7th grade student at Phoenix Hebrew Academy. She
commented on the current spread of misinformation on social media and the
importance of accurate information. Education about the holocaust is important now
more than ever. She stated the Hilton Family Holocaust Education Center is being
created to educate. Miss Stanlis suggested that we be upstanders not bystanders and
take a stand against hate.
Supervisor Galvin asked if Mr. Jacobson had registered to speak and if so, to please
come up. Frank Jacobson, Director of the Capital Campaign for the Arizona Jewish
Historical Society Hilton Family Holocaust Education Center, came forward. He spoke
on behalf of Steve Hilton who could not attend the meeting. Mr. Jacobson talked briefly
about the Jewish faith and the elements that will be encompassed in the Education
Center. He thanked Supervisor Galvin for his involvement and the support of this item
to educate our society, teachers, and particularly, our children. Mr. Jacobson said the
anticipated opening of the Center is in April of 2027.
Supervisor Galvin asked Jen Pokorski, County Manager, to give Maricopa County’s
perspective on this project.

Ms. Pokorski thanked Vice Chairman Galvin for his leadership on this project and said
this project was possible because of the Community Solutions Funding and the Board
has discretionary funds to support important projects in our communities. She said this
agreement and the funds have been vetted by the County Attorney’s Office to ensure
all applicable gift laws are followed. Ms. Pokorski said additional funds have been
contributed by the State of Arizona and the City of Phoenix.
Vice Chairman Galvin said this is one of the proudest days he has had since he joined
the Board of Supervisors three years ago. He thanked all the speakers who came
forward. He spoke of the need for education in this social climate and more support for
the Jewish community. Vice Chairman said the collaboration with the Historical Society
will help preserve the heritage of our local Jewish communities. He said that Phoenix
is one of the largest cities in the United States that does not have a holocaust museum
or education center. This sort of education center will teach students to take
responsibility for building a better and more just world. He congratulated Steve Hilton,
the project chairman, for spearheading the project.
Supervisor Gates congratulated Supervisor Galvin for his work on this project. This
Center will educate students and the community. He said that any reference that
compares the COVID response to the holocaust is offensive and a false equivalent.
Supervisor Hickman thanked Miss Stanlis for coming to the meeting and sharing her
perspective. He noted that she used the term upstander and the importance of civility.
Supervisor Gallardo echoed the previous comments and thanked Vice Chairman Galvin
and the Historical Society which will soon have an educational component. He said this
is a great time for the city, County, and state to come together to help fund the education
of our communities.
Chairman Sellers echoed all the previous comments and stated his support of this
Holocaust Education Center project.

COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE WITH ARIZONA JEWISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Approve a Competition Impracticable agreement with Arizona Jewish Historical Society in

education Center is the only Holocaust Education Center in the state.
The agreement is between Maricopa County and the Arizona Jewish Historical Society
(AZJHS) for construction of the Arizona Holocaust Education Center (“Holocaust Center”).
The County shall pay to AZJHS a one-time payment of two million dollars ($2,000,000) from
Community Solutions Funding (CSF) to subsidize the cost of admission for public school
students in Maricopa County to be admitted at no charge to the Holocaust Center. The
Holocaust Center will educate students and the public about the Holocaust through local
survivor stories, artifacts, immersive media experience and programs. Maricopa County
desires to use a portion of CSF to assist public schools located within the County’s
jurisdiction in meeting this curriculum requirement.

Laura Weaver, resident, said that she wanted the powerful message of the Nuremberg
Trials to be taught to students 6-12 grades. This education would teach students the
potential problems with an unfettered government and how it can abuse and trick its
citizens. She likened the holocaust to COVID and our government.

GRANT FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY FOR K9 SERVICE DOG
ADVOCACY PROGRAM
Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from the Arizona Department of
Public Safety, Victims of Crime Act, Victim Assistance Grant Program, in the amount not to
exceed $166,446 for the purpose of the K9 Service Dog Advocacy Program. The grant award
begins October 1, 2024 (retroactively) and ends September 30, 2025.
Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office's indirect rate for FY25 is 15.530%. The grantor
allows up to 10% for indirect cost recovery, but due to budget constraints, only $5,900 is
allowed for this award. Total grant indirect costs are estimated to be $24,932.79; $5,900 is
recoverable, and $19,032.80 is not recoverable.
The grant has been reoccurring and awarded to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office since
Fiscal Year 2000. The department has a cash equivalent match requirement of $41,612 and
has general fund resources to provide this match. No future contributions are required with
this funding.
This grant provides critical funding for our victim advocates so they may work to ensure
Maricopa County victims of crime receive each of the services mandated by the Arizona
Constitution and the Crime Victim’s Bill of Rights. The grant award is competitively bid, and
other eligible agencies may or may not bid on this grant award.
Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law.

COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE WITH BELL TEXTRON
Approve a Competition Impracticable with Bell Textron in the amount of $164,250 retroactive
to July 1, 2024. This funding will pay for the annual training of MCSO Aviation staff.
Bell helicopter pilots are required to attend the manufacturer’s school on an annual basis.
This allows pilots to remain licensed with the specific aircraft the pilot operates. The
insurance carrier requires regular/yearly emergency flight training in order to retain preferred
status and provide the lowest possible rates. Bell Helicopter requires specific helicopter
emergency flight training, done at the factory, with factory flight instructors, in factory owned
aircraft. This training includes ground school and simulator training. It allows pilots to
conduct, and be trained in, simulated in-flight and on the ground emergency situations and
maneuvers. Attending the training, at the factory, in factory owned equipment, with factory
flight instructors eliminates the risk and possible damage to County aircraft.
Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) did not sign this Competition Impracticable (CI) form
because new training for $75,850 was completed in July of 2024 without proper procurement
authorization in place. The $164,250 in this CI includes the $75,850 for the new training
completed in July, which $75,850 would be retroactively approved.

MOU WITH THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY FOR STATE
PHLEBOTOMY COORDINATOR/ EAST VALLEY REGIONAL DRE COORDINATOR
(50DRECRD) FFY2025
Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and acceptance of grant funds to the
Sheriff’s Office from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS), State Phlebotomy
Coordinator/East Valley Regional DRE Coordinator (50DRECRD), in the amount of $60,000
for the award period beginning October 1, 2024, and terminating on September 30, 2025.
This Agreement may be terminated by any of the parties by written notice to the other parties
thirty (30) days prior to termination.
This funding award is recurring and has been awarded to the Sheriff’s Office the last two
years. There is no match requirement, and the agreement does not require on-going cash
contributions after the period end date. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY25 is
26.71% applicable to the award amount of $60,000. The indirect costs are calculated to be
$16,026 and will be absorbed by General Fund.
This is not a mandated function although it supports the MCSO public safety mandate and
provides benefit to the citizens by providing funding for the Impaired Driving Programs
Coordinator to coordinate, strengthen and expand training initiatives to law enforcement
personnel and certification as Drug Recognition Experts (DREs). This is a competitive
award. This is reimbursement funding used to pay for overtime.
Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation, and therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget
law.

TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF RETIRING K-9 – MILLIE
Approve the transfer of ownership of retiring K-9, Millie, #K132, to Deputy Bowes, #2055.
Millie is a nine-year-old single purpose bloodhound, certified in man trailing. Millie was
assigned to Deputy Bowes in 2018 and they have been working together since. Millie has
assisted with over a thousand search and rescue operations for a multitude of agencies
valley wide throughout her career. She has also conducted a multitude of criminal trails
which led to the apprehension of numerous suspects. Bloodhound Millie has played a vital
role in the MCSO Lake Patrol Division and the search and rescue community.
In February of 2024, K9 Millie was seen by a Veterinarian and was diagnosed with advanced
arthritis in her spine and back legs. The Veterinarian advised arthritis would continue to
advance making Millie incapable of performing her job tasks. As of July 2024 a few short
months from original diagnosis, full exam, bloodwork and x-rays were completed, Millie’s
condition has advanced and symptoms will only continue to worsen if she continues to work.
At the advice of the Veterinarian due to Millie’s rapidly advancing condition Millie has since
been retired. MCSO is requesting ownership be transferred to Deputy Bowes.
Deputy Bowes has created a strong bond with Millie over the years as her handler/partner
and will accept full care and financial responsibility for Millie upon adoption and will be asked
to sign the Canine Release and Indemnification.
THIS ITEM REQUIRES A UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE BOARD.

match required. This is not a mandated service but provides a benefit to the community
through enhancing access to a comprehensive continuum of high quality, community-based
care for families with HIV/AIDS. If discontinued, ongoing cash contributions should not be
required.
The Department of Public Health indirect rate for FY24 is 15.79%. Full indirect costs are
estimated at $613,654.03 all of which are recoverable. Departmental indirect rates are
reestablished at the beginning of each fiscal year and the future indirect rates will be collected

an additional burden on the department’s operating budget.
Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law.
Approval of this action does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local
revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. This is a recurring Grant.

(the PROJECT) is located in the developed urban area within the City of Mesa (the CITY).
The PROJECT is intended to mitigate excess stormwater runoff that impacts existing and
proposed residences and businesses by using new storm drains and other drainage features
to convey stormwater to the EMF.
The proposed improvements were studied as part of the East Mesa Area Drainage Master
Plan Update (EMADMPU) prepared in November 2013. The EMADMPU provided solutions
to mitigate the flood hazards in the area, including drainage improvements along Elliot Road
from East Maricopa Floodway to Hawes Road. As part of the PROJECT, Additional Elliot
Road improvements will extend from Hawes Road to Ellsworth Road.
Project design, right-of-way acquisition, and utilities relocation are the next steps in
implementing the drainage improvements for this area, with the CITY as the lead agency.
On January 10, 2024, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution FCD 2023R004 (C-69-24-
042-X-00) to prepare an IGA for this project.
The estimated cost for this Project is $1,400,000. The PROJECT cost will be shared between
the DISTRICT and the CITY 65%/35%, making the DISTRICT cost share $910,000.
This Agenda Item impacts Supervisorial Districts 1 & 2.
