Association and a local resident. They do not support the approval of this application
and believe it is not in the best interest of the community. They are concerned the

reported acts of violence at the establishment. They feel that approving the application

licenses, while under the control of the applicant. The applicant has not demonstrated

notes that the applicant must resolve any pending City of Phoenix building and zoning

Significant infrastructure improvements will be (or may be) required in order to serve
the proposed parcels within the City of Phoenix service area. Design and construction

infrastructure improvement requirements would be discussed and determined at a pre-
ATTACHMENT A
application meeting after annexation. Additional information and requirements
provided under PAPP 2405857 for KIVA 24-83.
It is the City’s intent to provide water and sewer service. However, the requirements
and assurances for water and sewer service are determined during the site plan
application review, or the building permit approval, and may be subject to future
restrictions as a result of water shortage. Water and/or sewer system requirements
and stipulations are determined at time of site plan approval. Capacity on any existing
infrastructure is determined at that time of preliminary site plan approval. Please be
advised that capacity is a dynamic condition that can change over time due to a
variety of factors.
Per City Code 37-22, 37-39 and 37-142, annexation into the City requires all
properties connect to the City’s public water system. All existing on-site private wells
must be disconnected to prevent cross contamination with the City’s public water
system.
Developments that use an average of 250,000-gallons of water or more per day are
required to provide a Water Conservation Plan. In addition, developments that use an
average of 500,000-gallons of water or more per day are required to demonstrate a
minimum of 30% water reuse in the Water Conservation Plan. The Water
Conservation Plan must be reviewed and approved by the Water Services Department
(WSD) prior to preliminary site plan approval.

agreement for five additional years at a reduced cost. The reduced cost lowers fees by
almost 30 percent and places Phoenix’ fees lower than 80 percent of similar sized
plans across United States. A determination for special procurement without

Request the City Council to amend Ordinances S-10987 and S-15723 to update the

requirements for the Commission.
Summary
The Human Services Department requests amendments to Ordinances S-10987 and
S-15723, which govern the establishment, duties, and membership of the Commission.
The Commission serves as an advisory body that supports the City’s efforts to meet
the needs of low-income residents and promote community well-being.
These ordinances were originally adopted to meet the City’s obligations as a
designated Community Action Agency under the federal Community Services Block
Grant (CSBG) program. The proposed updates are needed to remain aligned with
current federal CSBG requirements, state guidance from the Arizona Department of
Economic Security, and City of Phoenix governance standards.
Revisions to S-10987 include:
· Update the functions of the Commission to: The function statement is modernized
to align with federal CSBG expectations. The new language affirms that all
members, regardless of category, shall uphold the mission of the Commission and
the Human Services Department. Additionally, they will fulfill their responsibilities in
accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including
the CSBG Act, CSBG Organizational Standards, and guidance from the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services.
· Revised officer roles and appointment process to: Updates are necessary to clarify
the process for appointing Commission officers and to extend flexibility in leadership
continuity. The Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson shall be appointed by the Mayor,
subject to City Council approval, for a two-year term. The Chairperson and Vice
Chairperson shall serve a two-year term and may be re-elected by a majority vote
of the Commission to serve additional two-year terms, not to exceed six years of
service. In the event of a vacancy or expired term, a new Chairperson or Vice-
Chairperson must be formally appointed by the Mayor and approved by Council.
However, reappointment to an additional term does not require re-nomination or
Council approval.
Revisions to S-15723 include:
· Update membership requirements to reflect that Representatives of the Low-
Income Community and Representatives of Major Groups and Interests shall serve
a term of three years and may serve a maximum of two terms, for a total of six
years of service. After being appointed for two terms, commissioners shall not be
eligible for reappointment.
· Clarify geographical representation for members selected to represent a specific
geographic area. The "area served" shall be defined as the City of Phoenix.
Accordingly, all such members must reside within the Phoenix city limits to maintain
eligibility.
These changes are intended to ensure the Commission remains in compliance with
current federal requirements, including the CSBG Act, CSBG Organizational
Standards, and guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
· On November 4, 1964, Resolution 11887 established policy and created the

address issues in low-income areas of Phoenix.
· On March 8, 1966, Ordinance S-3583 revised the policy relating to the operation of
the LEAP Commission.

with Vestar Laveen Manager, LLC (Ordinance S-52223) - District 7
Request the City Council to amend Ordinance S-49318 and the Development
Agreement (City Contract 161105) with Vestar Laveen Manager, LLC, or its City-
approved designee, to modify certain terms.
Summary
Vestar Laveen Manager, LLC, is the developer (Developer) of approximately 90 acres
at the southwest corner of 59th Avenue and Dobbins Road (Site). As part of the first
development phase of the Site, the Developer proposes to construct a 375,000 square
-foot highly-desirable, vibrant town center on approximately 40 acres designated as
Laveen Towne Center (Project). The Project will consist of a national major anchor
tenant, smaller anchor retail tenants, a family entertainment and theater user, sit-down
restaurants, an amenity-rich community gathering space, and accompanying pads and
shops for lease.
This area of Phoenix continues to be a high-demand and high-growth area for both
new residential and employment uses. Although the area continues to expand, retail
amenities continue to be in short supply and more options are needed to meet
demand. This Project will not only serve residents and employees living and working in
and around the South Mountain Technology Corridor and the community at large, it will
also assist to alleviate the sales tax leakage Phoenix experiences as a result of the
lack of retail amenities in the area. The Project is expected to add several hundred
new jobs to the area. To accommodate this growth, increased traffic, and the creation
of the Project, additional public infrastructure improvements are required.
On January 4, 2023, City Council approved Ordinance S-49318 (Ordinance)
authorizing staff to negotiate and enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with the
Developer for the installation of public infrastructure improvements to include Dobbins
Road from the Arizona Department of Transportation improvements to 59th Avenue,
and 59th Avenue from Dobbins Road to the southern boundary of the Site
(Improvements). The DA was executed on June 14, 2024. Pursuant to the DA, the
Developer will construct the required Improvements and the City will reimburse the
Developer a maximum of $25 million upon completion of construction, the City's
acceptance, and dedication of the Improvements to the City. The following item under
the current terms of the DA is the subject of this request:
· Developer is required to restore the Hudson Farmhouse located on the Site,
pursuant to requirements from the Phoenix Historic Preservation Office and State of
Arizona Historic Preservation Office. In rehabilitating and restoring the Hudson
Farmhouse, the Agreement will not preclude Developer from seeking additional
grants from the Phoenix Historic Preservation Commission or the State of Arizona
Historic Preservation Commission.
On April 30, 2024, a fire occurred and the Hudson Farmhouse suffered severe
damage. Since that time, the Developer engaged consultants to identify the extent of
the damage and ascertain the viability of restoring the existing structure. Unfortunately,
the analysis concluded that the Hudson Farmhouse could not be successfully restored
due to major structural damage. These extenuating circumstances impede the
Developer from being able to comply with this term within the Ordinance and DA as
originally adopted and described above. Therefore, an amendment to the Ordinance

Infrastructure (Ordinance S-52226) - District 2
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to negotiate and enter into a
development agreement and any other agreements as necessary (Agreements), with
Mortenson Development, or its City-approved designee (Developer), for the installation
of public infrastructure improvements. Further request to authorize the City Controller
to disburse all funds related to this item and the City Treasurer to accept all funds
associated with this request.
Summary
On June 20, 2025, Developer was the winning bidder on approximately 217 acres of
Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) land at the northwest corner of Scottsdale
Road and the Loop 101 Freeway. Phase 1 of the mixed-use development will include
an approximate 30-acre speculative mixed-use office campus (Project). Developer has
extensive experience developing industrial, office, and hospitality projects in Phoenix.
An ASLD requirement was a $30 million contribution to Maricopa County's Paradise
Ridge Flood Hazard Mitigation Project. The Paradise Ridge Wash Mitigation project
has significant impacts to north Phoenix and Scottsdale; it is a flood hazard mitigation
project that will reduce the flood risk and potential damage to properties. The Paradise
Ridge Wash Mitigation project will design and construct a levee system to contain the
100-year flood along Rawhide Wash in Scottsdale and Phoenix. This additional
funding will allow the project to commence and remove over 1,000 acres of land from
the floodplain and make it more developable.
The City recognizes the resulting substantial economic impacts to the City and region
by the Developer through this project. This established and well-known developer will
be able to bring much needed speculative mixed-use development, including Class A
office, retail, restaurants, entertainment, and other compatible uses to the Phoenix side
of Scottsdale Road. This will assist the City in its trend of bringing new corporate office
announcements along the Loop 101 corridor, that signifies a return to normal in-office
business and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. To support the regional flood
control project and facilitate new office and retail space in Phoenix, staff recommends
the following business terms:
· Developer to master plan and develop the entire 217-acre site and construct no less
than 5 million square feet of mixed-use development in multiple phases.
· As part of Phase 1, Developer agrees to build a 30-acre mixed-use campus of at
least 350,000 square feet.
· Within 12 months from the date of Council Authorization, Developer and City will
use best efforts to enter into the Development Agreement (DA).
· Within 36 months from execution of the Agreement, Developer will satisfy all
requirements for issuance of the public infrastructure permits for Phase 1, pay all
applicable fees related to the initial phase of development, and obtain the first
infrastructure permit for Phase 1.
· Developer will construct certain eligible Public Infrastructure Improvements, as
approved by the City and defined in the Agreements, in compliance with Title 34 of
the Arizona Revised Statutes.
· Public infrastructure improvements include street frontage and intersection
upgrades as required by Street Transportation Department, public water and sewer
main extensions as approved by the Water Services Department, and any regional
floodplain improvements (excluding those made by the City/County under the
Paradise Ridge Wash Mitigation Project) and other regional traffic infrastructure
improvements.
· Developer will dedicate, at no cost to the City, the additional right-of-way and public
easements within Developer's ownership and control that have not already been
dedicated by ASLD.
· Upon completion of construction and acceptance of the Public Infrastructure
Improvements by the City, City will reimburse Developer for such improvements. At
no time will reimbursement exceed Developer costs for public infrastructure
(Reimbursement Cap).
· City and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County will initiate the planning,
engineering, and construction of the Paradise Ridge Flood Control Improvements
upon the execution of the Agreements.
· Developer shall contribute $1 million into escrow for the design and construction of
the Paradise Ridge Flood Control Improvements upon execution of the DA; an
additional $18 million and $11 million contributions upon notice by the City and
ASLD. These contributions are not subject to Transaction Privilege Taxes (TPT)
reimbursement.
· City shall receive from escrow, upon certain performance benchmarks, the
Developers funds and pay such amounts to the Flood Control District of Maricopa
County for the design and construction of the Paradise Ridge Flood Control
Improvements.
· City will make best efforts to identify and apply for federal grants which may assist
in funding the regional flood control infrastructure.
· Agreements will include other terms and conditions as deemed necessary by the
City.
The City's reimbursements will include the following provisions:
· Reimbursement will not exceed actual verifiable costs for the approved
infrastructure improvements.
· Reimbursement payments will not begin until after the Developer completes the
approved Public Infrastructure Improvement(s) and the City has accepted those
improvements.
· Reimbursements will be paid on an annual basis, in arrears, and will not exceed the
amount of the City's eligible General Fund portion of the TPT collected and received
from the Project, which are verified by the City.
· To track TPT eligible for reimbursement, all contractors, subcontractors and vendors
must secure a project specific TPT License related solely to the Project, such
tracking will commence upon execution of the DA.
· Funds for the reimbursements will come from 100 percent of the City's eligible
General Fund portion of the TPT taxes received from the Project.
· No other sources of funds, unless any federal grants received by the City which are
applicable to this regional flood control infrastructure are received, would be used if
the above resources are not adequate to meet the Reimbursement Cap.
· The Developer will be eligible for a separate Credit Agreement when they pay their
Paradise Ridge Flood Control Impact Fees in advance as noted above. This
agreement is administered by the Planning and Development Department to ensure
that the Developer is reimbursed for the advanced impact fee payments that are
greater than their proportionate share. Repayment is contingent upon other
developers paying their drainage impact fee at the time of their development and
can only come from monies collected within that specific impact fee category.
Contract Term
The Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of the date the Developer has received
the full amount of the Reimbursement Cap or 35 years after the execution of the DA.
Financial Impact
Funding for the reimbursements will come from the eligible portion of the City's
General Fund TPT taxes received from the Project. Financial terms of the Agreements
will be provided to the Budget and Research and Finance Departments for review prior
to finalizing and executing the Agreements.

Summary
The Community Policing Development (CPD) Microgrant Program provides funding to

focused strategies in crime reduction, engagement, and organizational improvement.
These grant funds support the implementation of common-sense policing approaches
aimed at enhancing problem-solving capabilities, building public trust, and fostering
transparency and accountability within communities.
If awarded, the Phoenix Police Department intends to utilize this funding to support
Together We Thrive, a pilot program in partnership with Fulfillment in Training (F.I.T.),
which is a nonprofit organization committed to strengthening relationships between
government entities and the communities they serve. This initiative will be
implemented at South Mountain High School and will focus on youth ages 12 to 18
who are disproportionately represented in the juvenile justice system and have
historically had challenging interactions with law enforcement.
Together We Thrive is designed to build trust, encourage accountability, and promote
mutual understanding through mentorship, structured programming, and non-
enforcement interactions with officers. The program seeks to proactively address youth
engagement, reduce recidivism, and contribute to community safety. Without federal
funding, the department would be unable to support this level of intensive, community-
based programming. Together We Thrive represents a forward-thinking, scalable
model for meaningful and lasting community-police collaboration.

Plant Grant (Ordinance S-52208) - District 7
Request to retroactively authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to apply for and
accept and enter into an agreement for disbursement of State of Arizona and United
States Forest Service funding from the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire
Management 2025 Invasive Plant Program. Further request to authorize the City
Treasurer to accept, and the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.
The total grant funds received will not exceed $200,000 and the City's local match will
not exceed $52,000.
Summary
The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management Invasive Plant Program
supports cooperative management of invasive plants that threaten native plant
communities in forests, woodlands and rangelands throughout Arizona. This grant
program focuses on prevention, control and eradication of nonnative invasive plants
and aims to achieve the following objectives: 1) assist in preventing fire and flooding,
conserving water, and restoring habitat for wildlife, 2) use the integrated weed
management approach through the utilization of available tools including manual,
cultural, mechanical, chemical, and biological control methods, along with re-
vegetation of native plant species. With the awarded funds, the City of Phoenix Water
Services Department will use the grant funds for the invasive species removal, control
and prevention at the Tres Rios Ecosystem Restoration Area.
The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management Invasive Plant Grant
submittal deadline was May 28, 2025. On July 9, 2025, the Arizona Department of
Forestry and Fire Management notified the Water Service Department of selection for
funding for the Tres Rios Invasive Plants Eradication, Prevention, and Control project.
Due to the timing of the deadline put forth by the Arizona Department of Forestry and
Fire Management, Water Services Department submitted an application prior to
obtaining City Council approval. If City Council does not approve this retroactive
request, the application and award funding will be withdrawn by the Water Services
Department.
Financial Impact
The estimated total cost of the project is approximately $252,000. The Arizona
Department of Forestry and Fire Management has awarded funding in the amount of
$200,00. The required local match, if approved, is 10 percent, and the Water Services
Department plans to go beyond the match, providing an in-kind match of $52,000.
Funding for the local match is through in-kind staff and equipment services and is
available in the Water Services Department's operating budget.

Glendale to Provide Water and Wastewater Services (Ordinance S-52211) -
District 1
Request authorization for the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an
Intergovernmental Agreement Amendment with the City of Glendale, which will restate
and update the existing Agreement 114154 with the City of Glendale to provide sewer
services within a specified boundary of the City of Phoenix and terminate Agreement
114155 with the City of Glendale to provide potable water service within the same
area. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to
this item.
Summary
The purpose of this Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) is to restate and update the
obligations and duties of the cities of Glendale and Phoenix originally defined in IGAs
114154 and 114155, which were approved by the Phoenix City Council on November
10, 2004.
At the time, the IGAs set out the terms and conditions under which the City of Glendale
would provide water and sewer service to an area within the boundaries of the City of
Phoenix in the area of 51st Avenue and Loop 101/Tonapah Drive.
Because the City of Phoenix is now able to provide water service to the area,
Agreement 114155 is no longer necessary and Agreement 114154 needs to be
updated to reflect new terms and conditions under which Glendale provides sewer
service to the area. Under the new agreement, the City of Glendale will accept up to
78 million gallons per year, or 216,000 gallons per day, and the City of Phoenix will pay
Glendale for that sewer service.
Upon execution of the new IGA, Agreement 114155 will be terminated and Agreement
114154 will be replaced and superseded with the IGA amendment language.
Contract Term
The contract term will be for 20 years starting from the effective date of the new IGA,
with the possibility of one 10-year extension if both parties agree.
Financial Impact
There is no immediate financial impact to the City. Fees paid to the City of Glendale
will be offset by sewer fees paid by customers within the service area.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Phoenix City Council approved Agreements 114154 and 114155 on November 10,
2004.

Bus Service - Citywide
This report provides the City Council with information in response to a citizen petition
submitted by Ismael Morales at the July 2, 2025, Formal City Council meeting. See
Attachment A for the petition.
Summary
The petitioner requests the City Council to direct the Public Transit Department to draft
a report on whether late-night bus service can resume to pre-pandemic service hours,
including certain routes on Fridays and Saturdays. The petition further requests that
public hearings be held on returning late-night bus service and that an ordinance or
report be drafted to reinstate late-night bus service in Phoenix, in whole or in part.
Options for Council Action:
A. Accept the petition.
B. Deny the petition.
C. Other direction to staff.
Per the analysis below and attached, staff recommends that the City Council deny the
petition, as Phoenix’s bus service has been restored to 97 percent pre-pandemic
levels. Such changes have been based on the Public Transit Department’s continuous
analysis of ridership data to determine and recommend the most advantageous and
fiscally responsible service restorations. Additional details are explained below.
Background and Analysis
Under the City’s Transportation 2050 (T2050) program, pre-pandemic bus service
included late-night operating hours whereby weekday bus service operated past
midnight and Friday and Saturday bus service operated through approximately 2 a.m.
Late-night service was reduced as a result of significant impacts to ridership soon after
the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Of note is that even during the pre-
pandemic period, late-night service hours were not realizing as high a number of riders
as expected. Also of note is that the petitioner incorrectly states that bus service “ends
at 11 p.m. for the entire city” - most routes in Phoenix currently operate well past
midnight, with many key routes operating through 12:30 a.m. or 1 a.m. throughout the
week.
The Public Transit Department (PTD) implements bus service changes twice a year, as
needed, based on an in-depth analysis of ridership data, passenger travel trends, and
the City’s continued growth. Changes can be related to routes’ length, frequency, or
hours of service, with passenger outreach and public hearings held for input during
each instance of proposed changes. Because service changes are based on the
analysis of ridership trends, it is unlikely future service will entirely replicate pre-
pandemic service levels, with remote work options across the region playing a role.
Nonetheless, current bus service operates at 97 percent pre-pandemic levels, as early
-hour service has been restored, and frequencies have been strategically increased for
routes and peak hours with higher passenger demand. Late-night bus service has not
been recommended for reinstatement to pre-pandemic levels as ridership data does
not support doing so and has not for several years. See Attachment B - Ridership
Charts.
Public Transit staff note that very few passenger comments have been received
requesting the expansion of late-night service hours. Valley Metro provides multiple
ways for customers to provide feedback on bus service. Since 2024, out of the over
150 customer contacts to Valley Metro and the City of Phoenix related to transit
service planning, only five requested bus service hour expansion, and only two
requested late-night service in Phoenix. Among cities within the Valley Metro service
area, Phoenix has the latest bus service span - bus service outside of Phoenix often
ends around 10 p.m. on weekdays and 9 p.m. on weekends.
Financial Impact
The annual cost for returning late-night service to pre-pandemic levels is
approximately $11.6 million. Restoring late-night service to only those routes listed by
the petitioner would cost $5 million, although staff also do not recommend this
approach, as this method does not appear to be based on ridership analysis and may
leave riders stranded during late night hours due to a proposed restoration of late-night
service to only a small portion of the regional bus network. Additionally, there are limits
to the uses of regional transit funds and costs have also been negatively impacted by
rising costs for service operations and capital costs for buses and related equipment.
Reinstating late-night service would result in a 5.5 percent budget increase to
Phoenix’s bus operating budget as well as a pause to the continuous expansion of
Phoenix’s bus service under the T2050 program.
Regionally, the Maricopa Association of Governments is rolling out a performance-
based model for valley cities’ allocation of Proposition 479 funds. PTD’s approach to
funding service based on ridership data and trends aligns with this transit funding
model.
Ongoing Ridership Analysis
Valley Metro has hired an experienced third-party transit consulting firm which is
currently conducting a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) of the region’s
transit system, of which Phoenix’s service makes up the largest portion. A transit
system COA is a large-scale initiative conducted to improve transit service efficiency,
productivity, and cost-effectiveness by performing a route-by-route review of ridership
and service trends, as well as future growth. The COA began in Spring 2025, with an
anticipated final report in the summer of 2026. While it would be impractical to make
any significant changes to transit service during this analysis, when the analysis is
complete it is likely that it could result in changes to current service, both for Phoenix
and for bus routes shared with other valley cities. These changes could be to routes,
frequency, or hours of operation. Should adoption of the COA recommendations
include some level of increased late-night service, that recommendation would
undergo a public hearing and be brought to City Council for approval.
Responsible Department
This item is submitted by Interim Deputy City Manager Amber Williamson and the
Public Transit Department.

Citizen Petition Regarding Public Transit Department to be entered on
Subject:
July 2, 2025 meeting
Good morning,
Below is the text that I will read into the record regarding a citizen
petition for the Public Transit Department that I wish the Phoenix City
Council can hear it.
Citizen Petition Return of Late Night Service for the City of Phoenix
Ismael G. Morales
Please enter your
Per Chapter IV, Section 22 of the Phoenix City Charter, I, Ismael G.
questions,
Morales, am presenting a citizen petition regarding return of Late Night
comments, or
Bus Service on City of Phoenix Bus Routes.
requests in the box
below::
Whereas, during the Policy Session on April 23, 2020, on the vote of 9-
0, the Phoenix City Council adopted a staff report from the Public
Transit Department to curtail bus service past 11pm in the City of
Phoenix, citing reduced ridership during COVID-19 emergency.
Whereas, ridership has grown, from Fiscal Year 2023 to Fiscal Year
2024, there was a 5.5% increase in boardings in the city of Phoenix,
coming from Valley Metro numbers. To start, one can justify late night
service in key routes, such as Routes 3, 7, 8, 1 O, 16, 17, 19, 27, 29, 35,
41, and 50 to name a few routes that service the city core. The light rail
can have some late night service as well, but it does have some late
night service already in it.
Whereas, currently, service ends at 11 pm for the entire city, Monday
through Sunday.
Whereas, service before 2020 would end at 2am on Fridays and
Saturdays.
Whereas, we are now the 5th largest city in the United States. Thus, a
return of partial late night service can enhance nightlife opportunities
to enjoy our Downtown, and other cultural areas of the city. This can
come with benefits with those that work late nights as well.
Whereas, there have been numerous studies that have shown that
having late night public transit services can reduce drunk driving
accidents, or instances of DUI violations.
Therefore, I petition to the Phoenix City Council to do the following:
1. Have the Public Transit Department draft a report on whether late
night public transit can return on certain routes, on Friday and
Saturday Night, including budget impacts, and conversations with
bargaining units that can be affected.
2. Hold public hearings regarding return of late night public transit
services in the City of Phoenix, as how the City Council sees fit.
3. Draft an ordinance or report on returning partial late night services
on Fridays and Saturdays on routes that the Public Transit Department
or City Council sees fit.
I do look for this petition being heard at the next City Council Meeting,
which I know will occur after summer break.
Thank you very much for hearing this petition.
Thanks again.
