Resolution No. 5599 Approving the Agreement between the Maricopa Association of 
Governments (MAG) and the City of Chandler to Develop a Project Assessment for 
Enhanced Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities and Potential Traffic Calming Elements on Hunt 
Highway, from Cooper Road to Val Vista Drive 
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5599 approving the Active Transportation 
Project Agreement No. 828C-0R between the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) 
and the City of Chandler to Develop a Project Assessment for enhanced bicycle and 
pedestrian facilities and potential traffic calming elements on Hunt Highway, from Cooper 
Road to Val Vista Drive, in the amount of $70,000. 
 
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked for a staff presentation. 
 
RYAN PETERS, Strategic Initiatives Director, introduced the item and said this project was identified 
in the 2019 Transportation Master Plan as a popular area of bicyclists. The traffic speeds prevent 
people from using this corridor. The Gila River Indian Community has a casino under construction 
in the area which would case changes in the traffic patterns. Mr. Peters said this item would 
determine what options are available for this area of the City.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO emphasized that this item is more for the calming measures rather 
than the bicycle lane. Councilmember Orlando asked when the traffic study is due.

Page 3 of 11 
 
MR. PETERS said that the traffic calming would be significant for Hunt Highway. There is a narrow 
right of way between the City of Chandler and the GRIC boundary. Mr. Peters said any kind of 
bicycle improvements made would have a natural effect on calming. 
 
JASON CRAMPTON, Transportation Planning Manager, said that the study would take six to nine 
months to complete.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO confirmed if any new ideas come up, we would share them with the 
GRIC community to potentially share on the cost. 
 
MR. CRAMPTON said staff will look at those options, as the project is currently not in the CIP. 
Future options would be analyzed as the project is developed.  
 
MAYOR HARTKE asked how potential completion of the casino would skew traffic study results.  
 
MR. PETERS said that if the casino were built during the study, there would be an impact. The 
consultant would likely examine existing and projected traffic patterns, with the traffic impact 
analysis provided by GRIC. There would also be real-time analysis. This may be examined in a 
future year.

11. 
Purchase of Extractors for the Fire Stations 
Move City Council approve the sole source purchase of extractors, from Coin & 
Professional Equipment Co., in the amount of $147,952. 
MAYOR HARTKE asked for a staff presentation. 
 
THOMAS DWIGGINS, Fire Chief, said this item is a purchasing agreement with CPEC for the 
purchase of 11 industrial extractors for each fire station. An extractor is a specialized washing 
machine that is designed to extract carcinogens from firefighter’s structural turnout gear or their 
personal protective equipment. The National Fire Protection Administration and manufacturers 
of gear recommend washing gear post exposure to every fire, smoke, or hazardous materials. 
There is currently a process in place with ECMS out of Phoenix that would wash and inspect gear 
once per year and anytime there is a significant exposure to a large fire. To stay consistent with 
the recommendations of NFPA and manufacturers, washing more frequently is needed. In the 
City of Chandler, every firefighter has two sets of gear. If their primary set is contaminated, it 
would be sent to be cleaned. The current process of cycling through primary and secondary sets 
of gear takes seven days. The seven-day window is problematic as firefighters work two to three 
shifts within that time span. If they respond to a second fire, they will have to clean their 
secondary set themselves and wear the gear again. The goal is to purchase 11 extractors and 
install them, create a washing program, and policy to mandate washing after every fire. There 
would be a decrease in exposure to carcinogens and a decrease in washing time. Carcinogens 
cause cancer in firefighters. Clean gear is a more effective and safe set of gear.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO supported the item and shared that letting the public know what 
this is about is important.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS said the goal of protecting firefighters in their line of work is essential. 
Councilmember Ellis asked what the cost for the extractors would be.  
 
CHIEF DWIGGINS answered that it would be around $147,000. Policy would mandate washing 
after every fire. With these extractors, the gear is anticipated to be washed 900 more times. The 
current cost to outsource washing is $100 each. There is a cost savings in this switch.

COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS commented that this is a good return on our dollars. Councilmember 
Ellis asked how this was funded. 
 
JOSHUA WRIGHT, City Manager, answered that these are reallocated dollars initially sourced 
from ARPA and CARES that offset other general fund projects. The funds are general fund 
dollars.
