Ordinance No. 5020 Amending the Code of the City of Chandler, Chapter 6, Emergency
Management, Section 6-3 Powers and Duties, Subsection 6-3.2 Relating to the Mayor's
Authority to Declare an Emergency
Move City Council introduce and tentatively adopt Ordinance No. 5020, amending the Code
of the City of Chandler, Chapter 6, Emergency Management, Section 6-3 Powers and Duties,
Subsection 6-3.2 relating to the Mayor's authority to declare an emergency.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked for a staff presentation.
KELLY SCHWAB, City Attorney, explained under the current code and state law, the Mayor is
authorized to declare a state of emergency by proclamation, done primarily for funding purposes.
After 24 hours, Mayor and Council is authorized to discuss the emergency proclamation to
continue, amend, or terminate. The proposed ordinance would set the emergency proclamation
to expire 90 days after declaration automatically. It would also require that the emergency be
reviewed at the next Council meeting and every 30 days thereafter. Mayor and Council would
retain the right to act on the declaration of emergency as currently stated.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS asked about the 24-hour period after which Mayor and Council may
meet.
Page 9 of 15
MS. SCHWAB replied that the emergency is declared by the Mayor, and after 24 hours the Council
can have a meeting to discuss and take action. The emergency exists until Council takes action to
determine that it should be terminated.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS asked to clarify the change being proposed.
MS. SCHWAB answered that if the Mayor were to declare an emergency to exist, the emergency
proclamation would automatically expire 90 days after it is declared.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS said that the purpose of the declaration of emergency is to seek funding
and asked how would funding be distributed within 90 days.
MS. SCHWAB responded that under state law, Title 26 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, allows the
Mayor to declare a local emergency, if authorized pursuant to our code. It provides access to
emergency funding from state and federal sources. Council can act at any time to extend the
declaration of an emergency, to amend, or terminate earlier.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS asked if the Council could change the declaration at that time.
MS. SCHWAB confirmed that Council could change the declaration at that time.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS asked if Council could reject funding.
MS. SCHWAB confirmed that Council could reject funding.
MAYOR HARTKE explained that this sunsets the existing emergency clause protocol. During
COVID-19, Mayor Hartke made sure he was in conversation with Council at decision points. The
Governor recently sunset the existing state emergency clause, where the emergency would expire
after six months. Chandler’s would automatically expire after three months, but does not mean it
has to be over, as it can be renewed. This would bring Council into the discussion and emphasize
communication.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked if the Mayor calls the meetings for Council.
DANA DELONG, City Clerk, answered that the charter states that special meetings can be called by
Mayor or a number of the Councilmembers.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked how the Council would act on calling a meeting, if a
Councilmember were to challenge the Mayor’s statement of emergency.
MS. SCHWAB answered that the Council Rules and Procedures say two or more Councilmembers
can request an item on the agenda if it’s within 48 hours of the agenda being posted.
Page 10 of 15
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS requested to clarify the process to challenge the Mayor’s declaration
of a state of emergency.
MS. SCHWAB answered that the Council Rules and Procedures say that for staff to submit items,
the City Manager must have the approval of the Mayor or three Councilmembers if it is after the
Thursday prior to the meeting. Any member or members of the Council may submit an item for
the Council agenda on Thursday by noon the week prior to the meeting.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS clarified that if the Mayor calls a state of emergency, and the Council
wants to challenge the state of the emergency, then a Councilmember would have to get other
Councilmembers in consensus.
MS. SCHWAB said when the Mayor declares an emergency, after 24 hours is when the Council can
consider. The 24 hours is to give notice of a meeting pursuant to state laws.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS said after 24 hours, three Councilmembers would go to the City
Manager to put something on the agenda in order for the discussion to occur. Councilmember
Harris asked why the Mayor would be able to declare an emergency that quickly and it takes a
number of Councilmembers two to three weeks until the next meeting to challenge it.
MAYOR HARTKE explained that Council could call a special meeting and they do not have to wait.
Under a state of emergency, Council can call a special meeting to discuss the emergency status.
The 24 hours is to post notice of the meeting. This proposed amendment would make Council
choose to further ratify the proclamation if it continued after 90 days.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS clarified that the proclamation would end the state of emergency after
90 days. Councilmember Harris walked through the process from a Councilmember’s point of a
view.
COUNCILMEMBER STEWART said that this ordinance would encourage a conversation on the
emergency and motivate collaboration between Mayor and Council from the beginning to end
and ensure that the discussion held by Council is in public. Every 30 days or at the first formal
meeting before that, there is a conversation. This does not preclude the Mayor from initiating an
emergency order. It would contribute to public awareness regarding why the emergency was
called and how it is discussed.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked why this ordinance would not model the state’s law of six
months, three months seems like a short amount of time, especially when emergency funds would
take a while to activate.
COUNCILMEMBER STEWART said that tethering the City to the federal funding is not wise.
Page 11 of 15
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO restated that one of the reasons an emergency is declared is to seek
county, state, or federal emergency funds. Councilmember Orlando asked if the 90-day expiration
would discourage aid. It might be in the best interest to continue the emergency until the
resources are coming. Councilmember Orlando asked after the expiration of the emergency if the
Mayor declare another emergency afterward.
MS. SCHWAB answered that the Mayor could declare another state of emergency.
MAYOR HARTKE added that in that case, the Council could vote that down.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO suggested that the timeline coincide with the state law of six
months.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS supported the 90-day timeline, as Council could work to extend the
emergency and discuss it with each other but did understand Councilmember Orlando’s
comments of mirroring the state’s six months.
MAYOR HARTKE affirmed that there will be multiple opportunities for conversation with the Mayor
in a case like this.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS said that conversation is important within Council and more information
on this item should have been presented to Council about this.

Infrastructure Master Agreement Dated May 24, 2019, Between the City of Chandler and

Related Public Infrastructure Needed to Serve Intel's Campus at 4500 S. Dobson Road
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5591 approving an amended Project
Agreement No. 4 under the Public Infrastructure Master Agreement dated May 24, 2019,
between the City of Chandler and Intel Corporation, a Delaware company, for the
construction of a Reclaimed Water Interconnect Facility and related public infrastructure
needed to serve Intel's campus at 4500 S. Dobson Road.
MAYOR HARTKE thanked staff for their leadership on water acquisition and conservation. This
would give us more options with reclaimed water and recharge to invest in sustainability. Mayor
Hartke thanked Intel for their partnership.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked for a presentation.
JOHN KNUDSON, Public Works and Utilities Director, said this item began as an idea from staff, to
sustainably recharge water in aquifers underneath Chandler rather than recharging in other cities.
This would allow us to use the infrastructure of 33 wells to draw water from during periods of
drought. An additional benefit would be the enhancement of Veterans Oasis Park through
providing water for the ponds. When Intel announced their expansion, we were able to double
the size of the project and bring Intel in as a partner to the project. We can bring additional water
in for Intel’s needs for water cooling. Half of the project is being paid for by Intel through the
Department of Revenue.
