Police Department Liquor License Disapproval Recommendation
Application Information
Business Name Ash Loun e !District 4
Business Location 4516 N. 19th Avenue
A licant Name Hector Rivera !Series Type I 06

The Police Department recommends disapproval of this liquor license application for
the following reasons:

While investigating Hector Rivera, AZDLLC, State Liquor received citizen complaints
including dancer violations, prostitution and illicit drug dealing on the premises. On 3/15/25
DLLC state agents went into Ash Lounge in an undercover capacity and witnessed Title IV
violations of 4-244.23, serving more than the law allows. Report #25-000452

Mr. Hector Rivera, agent and owner of 4576 LLC, failed to protect a dancer at Ash Lounge.
Between 3/5/25 and 3/9/25, the dancer was kidnapped, assaulted and held against her will
at the home of Leonard Sutton in Laveen. She escaped through an unlocked door, however
on approximately, 3/11/25, Mr. Sutton entered Ash Lounge where he again assaulted the
dancer by kicking and stomping her head and dragging her by the hair off the stage at Ash
Lounge. Report #20-633184

Mr. Rivera failed to protect the dancer and therefore, is not qualified, capable nor reliable to
hold a liquor license in the City of Phoenix. In addition, based on the information found in
the Police Report cited, the applicant falsified the city questionnaire and did not indicate the
property is used for Adult Use.




This recommendation for disapproval is submitted by: Det. C. Butler #7108

Network and Telephony Equipment and Related Services - COOP 23-004 -
Amendment (Ordinance S-51730) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to allow additional
expenditures under Contracts 156956, 156962, 157085, 157086, 157080, 157018,
157513, and 160040 with World Wide Technology, LLC; Sentinel Technologies, Inc.;
Hye Tech Network & Security Solutions, LLC; Enterprise Networks Solutions Inc.;
Insight Public Sector, Inc.; Advanced Network Management Inc. dba ANM; Presidio
Networked Solutions LLC; and Global Market Innovators, Inc. for the purchase of
network and telephony equipment and services for citywide departments. Further
request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The
additional expenditures will not exceed $38,785,500.

Summary
These contracts will provide a wide variety of network and telephony related
equipment such as routers, servers, switches and controllers along with maintenance,
training, and services. The equipment is designed and defined by applicable industry
standards, for transporting/receiving data (data, voice, and multimedia) between
connection points, destinations or endpoints. Additionally, funding is required to
replace the existing Aviation Business Network (ABN) at Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport, Phoenix Deer Valley Airport, Phoenix Goodyear Airport, their
owned and operated facilities, and the two data centers before end-of-hardware
support dates. Additionally, a new software-defined business network, PHX Business
Network, will be implemented and will replace the existing Multiprotocol Label
Switching with software-defined networking utilizing Cisco Defined Access and Cisco
Application Centric Infrastructure. The existing ABN infrastructure was originally
implemented in 2012 and is reaching some end-of-life and end-of-software support
dates with Cisco. It is imperative that the ABN equipment be replaced prior to the end-
of-hardware support dates to mitigate operational risks to the Aviation Department. The
PHX Business Network will be more efficient and scalable by using Application
Programming Interface calls and other software defined methods to reduce
cumbersome manual processes such as logging into and configuring each network
device independently.





The Information Technology Services Department (ITS) is requesting additional funds
for network equipment purchases and maintenance, phone system, contact center,
and Webex licensing, department equipment purchases, network security devices and
licensing, as well as wireless and radio equipment. ITS will also be conducting a
network equipment refresh, which will involve replacing devices across the City.
Additionally, the Phoenix Fire Department and Phoenix Police Department will use
these contracts to support first responder and public safety activities. The Water
Services Department will use these contracts to support the Process Control Network.

This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services
Department.

The contract term remains unchanged, ending on June 31, 2027.

Financial Impact
Upon approval of $38,785,500 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the

(Ordinance S-51736) - District 8 & Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend intergovernmental
agreement (IGA) with Maricopa County to modify Senior Bridge affordable housing
project eligibility criteria and unit make-up. Additionally, request to modify prior Council
authorization for Senior Bridge project (Ordinance S-51553) to reflect changes in the
IGA's project scope and to authorize award of up to $6 million to Senior Bridge, LLC,
an affiliate of the originally-named grantee, Steel & Spark, LLC. Further request
authorization for the City Treasurer to accept and the City Controller to disburse all
funds related to these items.

Summary
As originally authorized via Ordinance S-51553, the City of Phoenix entered into an
IGA with Maricopa County on or about December 18, 2024, whereby the County
awarded American Rescue Plan Act funds to the City to provide shelter and transitional
housing for individuals experiencing homelessness in the City as well as funding for an
affordable housing development for seniors (Senior Bridge Project). If this item is
approved, up to $6 million of the County funding will still be used to support the Senior
Bridge Project, as reflected in Ordinance S-51553 passed on December 18, 2024.

Following the initial Council authorization, the parties expressed a desire to make
adjustments to the Senior Bridge Project scope, including changes to the affordable
housing unit make-up and eligibility criteria for residents. The current desired project
would allow up to 65 units to be developed, with 29 of those units designated to
individuals exiting homelessness with an income under 30 percent Area Median
Income (AMI) and 25 units with low (0-50 percent) to moderate (50-80 percent) AMI.

Accordingly, the Office of Homeless Solutions requests Council authorization for the
Senior Bridge Project to be amended to reflect the modified eligibility criteria and unit
make-up in both the IGA and the related Senior Bridge funding agreement, as well as
to substitute Senior Bridge, LLC, an affiliate of Steel & Spark, LLC, as the recipient of
Senior Bridge Project funding. Senior Bridge, LLC will receive up to $6 million of the
funding provided by the County.




The City of Phoenix Housing Department will contribute up to $3,015,746 in HOME-
ARP funds to this project previously authorized by City Council via Ordinance S-
51498, for a total Senior Bridge grant value of up to $9,015,746. If this item is
approved, the up to $6 million for the Senior Bridge project will be awarded via the
same instrument as the already authorized Housing Department funding.

For clarity, Steel & Spark, LLC remains the recipient for $750,000 in funding for the co-
located transitional housing project authorized via Ordinance S-51553.

Contract Term
The term of the IGA will remain unchanged. The term of the Senior Bridge project
funding agreement with Senior Bridge, LLC will be as authorized via Ordinance S-
51498.

Financial Impact
The amount of funding provided via this IGA to the Senior Bridge Project remains
unchanged at up to $6 million. There is no impact to the General Fund, as funding is
provided by Maricopa County.

National Park Service FY2025 Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Consultation/Documentation Grant (Ordinance S-51771) - District 8

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to apply for, accept, and, if
awarded, enter into an agreement for up to $150,000 for the National Park Service
Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Program
Consultation/Documentation Grant. The grant funds would be used by the Office of
Arts and Culture to support work at S’edav Va’aki Museum (SVM, formerly Pueblo
Grande Museum). Further request authorization for the City Treasurer to accept and
for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.

Summary
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) is a federal
law which requires museums that receive federal funds to complete inventories and
summaries of Native American cultural items in their collections. It is intended to
facilitate the repatriation of Native American human remains (ancestors), funerary
objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony. The law also requires
museums to consult with culturally affiliated Native American tribes.

In 2017, the City received one NAGPRA grant which focused on the documentation of
ancestors in the collection of SVM. This grant resulted in the repatriation of over 300
ancestors and over 600 funerary objects from the collections. The City applied for
another NAGPRA grant in 2024, which was not received.

In consultation with Native American tribes, SVM has identified additional issues with
potential funerary objects in its collection. Under NAGPRA, a funerary object is “any
object reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near human
remains...either at the time of death or later, to a death rite or ceremony of a Native
American culture…” The question with objects in the collection at SVM is with the
research methods used to identify the objects. Prior to 2017, research methods used
the standard of proof “beyond a reasonable doubt” to identify funerary objects in the
collection. The current standard of proof required by law is “preponderance of the
evidence” which is a lower standard.

To remedy this issue, the Office of Arts and Culture requests permission to apply for a



NAGPRA Consultation/Documentation Grant. The large amount of time and
specialized skill required by this project necessitates the documentation be conducted
by individuals with professional experience doing archaeological research, working
with archaeological objects, and writing NAGPRA summaries and notices.

The grant will be used to pay for a position at the Museum Assistant level. The
Museum Assistant would work at SVM for up to 24 months to review project reports,
field notes, and context information for archaeological specimens. The Museum
Assistant will then make recommendations regarding objects that are reasonably
believed to be funerary objects and will also identify potential sacred objects which
may need repatriation as well. The Museum Assistant will write the legally required
NAGPRA paperwork which includes summaries to be sent to Native American tribes,
as well as notices to be published in the Federal Register. SVM will use the information
generated by this research to consult with Native American tribes concerning the
identification of funerary objects and sacred objects.

The cost of this work is beyond the scope of the Office of Arts and Culture budget;
therefore, the department would like to apply for the grant funding. The United States
Department of the Interior administers these funds through the National Park Service.

Financial Impact
If awarded, the grant will provide up to $150,000 to review the archaeological
collection at SVM. No matching funds are required.

Summary
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-29 Public Art Plan includes funding for multiple artworks to

approximately 140,000 square feet over three levels and add six gates to the terminal.
In addition, two new connectors will link the new concourse with Terminal 4 and other
areas of Terminal 3 for easier transfers. As part of this project, artists will be expected
to design artwork that will enrich the passenger experience with bold artistic
statements and make traveling more enjoyable by creating immersive and memorable
spaces.

A Request for Qualifications for the project was released on July 24, 2024, with a
submission deadline of August 30, 2024. On January 16, 2025, a three-member artist

playground by relocating a fence at the school site. The project will include the
relocation of an existing fence around the playground area and reinstalling it to allow
open access to the playground during non-school hours. The fence will consist of
wrought iron to provide enhanced security for the school, while allowing public access
to the playground area. Operations and maintenance of the fence and playground
accessibility will be provided by PVUSD.

Authorization to Accept Grant Funding from Phoenix Parks Foundation to
Implement Phoenix Youth Reach and Invest in Summer Employment (R.I.S.E.)
Program (Ordinance S-51751) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to accept grant funding from
the Phoenix Parks Foundation (PPF) to implement the Phoenix Youth Reach and
Invest in Summer Employment (R.I.S.E.) program. Further request to authorize the
City Treasurer to accept and City Controller to disburse funds related to this item.

Summary
R.I.S.E. provides short-term employment opportunities for youth ages 16 to 24 residing
in the City of Phoenix by connecting their interests with work experiences at Phoenix
businesses during the summer. Phoenix City Council approved the creation of the
Summer Youth Work Experience in May 2006 via Ordinance S-32780. In June 2014,
the program’s name changed to Phoenix Youth R.I.S.E. Since 2016, City Council has
approved $250,000 of General Funds to support R.I.S.E. each year. In 2018,
JPMorganChase (Chase) invited the City to apply for funding to support the R.I.S.E.
and has consistently supported it each year since. The Chase funding must flow
through a non-profit service provider. The PPF currently serves as a non-profit to
receive these funds from Chase and disburses the funding to the City.

In March 2021, City Council authorized contracts with Neighborhood Ministries, Inc.
(NM) and the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) for youth workforce services.
NM and YMCA are also service providers for R.I.S.E. Their roles encompass a range
of crucial activities, including participant recruitment, employer engagement, work site
coordination, and the provision of support services to participants. NM and the YMCA
will work closely with local businesses to secure internship opportunities and provide
training for work site supervisors to ensure a positive and enriching experience for
youth participants. Additionally, they will review participant applications, deliver work
readiness training to eligible youth, and facilitate the placement of individuals in paid
internships with Phoenix employers. PPF plays a pivotal role in supporting R.I.S.E. by
distributing the Chase funds to supplement the program's resources, enabling the
expansion of services and the delivery of additional youth-focused initiatives to further
enhance the program's impact within the community.




R.I.S.E. is supported by Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) grant
funding, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. The long-term sustainability
plan for R.I.S.E. focuses on integrating this service delivery model with the City's
existing youth workforce service providers. Through contacts with Phoenix based
youth nonprofits, contracted by the Phoenix Business and Workforce Development
Board, R.I.S.E. aims to strengthen the talent pipeline aligning with business needs
while offering meaningful work exploration opportunities for the City's youth.

Current program goals include:
• Recruit employers and provide training for work site supervisors.
• Establish 50 work site locations in Phoenix to meet program participant needs
and reduce transportation barriers.
• Review a minimum of 176 participant applications.
• Offer work readiness training to 176 youth.
• Place 150 youth in paid internship opportunities with Phoenix employers.
• Provide four weeks/80 hours of work experience to participants.
• Provide support services to reduce barriers.
• Provide incentives to program participants.

In 2024, the YMCA-Maryvale had 81 youth participate and 75 youth successfully
completed 80 hours; NM had 82 youth participate and 70 youth successfully
completed 80 hours. In total, the 2024 Summer R.I.S.E. program had 163 youth
participate in the work experience, with 145 youth completing the full 80 hours. More
than 80 employers representing various industry sectors, including technology, health
care, government, nonprofit, machinery manufacturing and retail, participated in 2024.

Financial Impact
General Funds have already been allocated for this program in the amount of
$250,000. Chase will contribute an additional $125,000 directly to PPF, and PPF will
pay the City for additional youth services.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
In March 2021, City Council authorized the City to contract with NM and the YMCA for
youth workforce development services under Ordinance S-47403.

Phoenix Convention Center Digital Signage Contract - RFP 24-0397 - Request for
Award (Ordinance S-51729) - Districts 7 & 8

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into a contract with
RTS Solutionz, Inc. dba Solutionz to provide digital signage services for the Phoenix
Convention Center Department (PCCD). Further request to authorize the City
Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The total value of the contract will
not exceed $735,000.

Summary
This contract will provide the design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of a new
digital signage system, including approximately 200 media players and a content
management system, integrating with the current monitors and housing. Digital
signage is strategically located throughout the PCCD client’s contracted space,
including meeting room entrances, to support communication and wayfinding and to
provide event details to client attendees.

During an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) audit in 2024, it was determined that
the existing system was not in compliance and it would be cost prohibitive to bring the
system into compliance. The existing system is outdated and vulnerable to security
issues. The media players run on processors approaching 10 years old that frequently
fail, requiring manual updates and intervention by staff, further compromising system
reliability and security.

The proposed system will feature an ADA-compliant layout allowing for easy
interaction by wheelchair users. Additionally, this new system will integrate with the
existing exterior signage system, creating operational efficiencies by managing only
one system. Transitioning to this modern system will reduce maintenance costs,
improve security, and ensure ADA compliance. The intuitive content management
system will provide enhanced functionality, including streamlining of content creation
and customization, integration with PCCD in-house event management system, and a
virtual concierge that displays advertisements when idle. These features will increase
operational efficiency and enhance the overall client and attendee experience.





This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services
Department.

Contract 158079 with Griffeye Inc. for an assignment from Griffeye Inc. to Magnet
Forensics, LLC. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds
related to this item. The additional expenditures will not exceed $50,000.

Summary
This contract will provide Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigators and
forensic examiners with a seamless way to import all types of image formats for
immediate analysis. The purchase of the licenses for the Griffeye Analyze Toolset,
which includes CS Operations Server, CS Operations Client, DI Pro, and Lace Carver,
will allow the Family Investigations Bureau to continue to use this software. This
continuation will allow for seamless transition between the workload of investigators
and forensic examiners. Additionally, various features built into the Griffeye Analyze
Toolset aim at reducing investigators and forensic examiners exposure to child sex
abuse material, thus fostering mental health wellness. The need for additional funds is
because the ICAC team has grown in size since the contract was originally awarded.
Due to this, we added three additional licenses, which now allows the entire ICAC
team to utilize Griffeye at the same time.

The contract term remains unchanged, ending on April 4, 2028.

Financial Impact
Upon approval of $50,000 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the
contract will not exceed $154,250. Funds are available in the Police Department's

information collected to improve trust and build relationships in the community. Staff
reviewed case studies from other municipalities/law enforcement agencies who used
Blockwise to take an innovative approach to increasing community trust, reallocated
resources based on the data, and mitigated a crisis situation while keeping the
community informed.

Report

(CONTINUED FROM DECEMBER 18, 2024 AND JANUARY 15, 2025) - Ordinance
to Establish the Network Infrastructure Services License by Creating New
Chapter 5D of the Phoenix City Code and to Establish an Effective Date
(Ordinance G-7343) - Citywide

Request City Council approval to adopt an ordinance to establish the Network
Infrastructure Services License by creating a new Chapter 5D of the Phoenix City
Code to allow for companies that desire to provide fiber-to-the-home services for high-
speed internet access.

Summary
This proposed City Code amendment will provide the framework for the City to enter
into licenses with companies that desire to sell fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services for
high-speed broadband internet access (500 Megabits to 1 Gigabit per second) to end-
user customers. The target customers are mostly residential and some small
businesses.

City Code currently does not have a specific chapter to allow network infrastructure
services to be installed and operated in the right-of-way, and the creation of this code
will enable the City to enter into Network Infrastructure Service Licenses with
interested providers who desire to install fiber-optic cabling in the City’s rights-of-way
(ROW) and sell high-speed internet access to residential customers through a FTTH
services network.

The new code section (Attachment A) will establish the framework for the license, the
basis for the long-term agreement with these companies, and will outline the financial
terms and payments that companies will remit to reimburse the City for services
provided in the installation and operation of their networks, and a fee for the use of the
ROW. The license will also outline the requirements for all work that is performed
within the ROW and requires inspection and conformance with adopted City codes and
requirements.

In 2022, the City of Mesa approved licenses for five companies to provide FTTH
services for high-speed internet services. In 2023, the cities of Chandler and Gilbert
approved similar licenses for the same purpose. During this time frame,



representatives from AT&T, Google, BAM Broadband/Desert iNet and Zoom Tech
Arizona approached City staff to outline their interest and present proposals to build a
FTTH network in Phoenix. In 2024, Flying Bull Internet, LLC dba Novos Fiber also
expressed an interest in providing network infrastructure services.

On July 1, 2024, the City Council approved Temporary Network Services Construction
Licenses for BAM Broadband and Zoom Tech Arizona that allows the companies to
begin the permit submittal process and to commence construction until Chapter 5D is
adopted and full-term licenses can be issued in early 2025.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
· On June 21, 2023, this matter was presented to the Transportation, Infrastructure
and Planning (TIP) Subcommittee for information and discussion.
· On June 20, 2024, this matter was presented to the TIP Subcommittee for
information and discussion.
· On November 20, 2024, the TIP Subcommittee unanimously approved this item.

Public Outreach
The Street Transportation Department met with various industry stakeholders between
May 2022 through October 2024, with representatives of the network infrastructure
service industry to discuss the new Code Chapter, applicable fees, and the City's
proposed license requirements. Additionally, staff discussed the need to meet current
City requirements that do not allow micro-trenching in the ROW and also the pavement
restoration requirements for surface treatment. These requirements help mitigate
negative driver/user experience while utilizing the ROW and ensure longevity of the
asphalt. These are critical because the City has performed $200 million in pavement
maintenance at the direction of the Mayor and City Council based upon resident
concerns about the conditions of the City maintained streets over the last five years.
Based on the feedback from these meetings and the June 21, 2023, TIP
Subcommittee, the City adjusted the annual fees for use of the City’s right-of-way.

Google Fiber and Gigapower still have concerns about the three percent, six percent,
and Annual Minimum Fee (AMF). However, their most significant concerns are that the
City does not allow for micro-trenching and the requirement to comply with pavement
restoration requirements. The City is working with Google Fiber to install a micro-
trench pilot area to evaluate the impacts to the ROW. The City has offered Gigapower
the opportunity to do a pilot installation that utilizes ground penetrating radar instead of
traditional boring methods to locate existing utilities.

The Communication Workers of America (CWA) union provided an email with



concerns about the quality of work performed by FTTH contractors in Minnesota and
Texas. The CWA provided a list of work quality and labor standards that included ROW
Contractor Transparency, ROW Contractor Training and Certifications, as well as
Monitoring and Penalties. The City verifies that contractors provide proof of insurance
and worker's compensation coverage and also verifies that the contractor is licensed
with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. The City inspects contractor work to ensure
compliance with all City requirements and has the ability to limit or to stop work by a
contractor that is not performing work safely or following City approved construction
requirements.

Financial Impact
The new code section proposes a license fee based on a percentage of gross
revenues from FTTH customers and an AMF based on the number of residential units
passed for use of the City's ROW. In addition, the companies will reimburse the City
for plan review and permits, inspections, ROW Management, and other fees for staff
time that are directly related to the construction, operation, and repair of the facilities
required for the FTTH networks. Staff lowered the upfront AMF from the initial $12 per
home, down to $9 and now $6 for each residential unit passed before the three
percent or six percent cost structure would become active. This was done because of
industry concerns about the upfront installation costs due to not allowing micro-
trenching and the pavement restoration requirements. This lower upfront AMF helps
reduce upfront installation costs, and the City created a category for FTTH installation
concurrent with new subdivision developments that does not require payment until at
least 50 percent of the homes in a subdivision are sold.

On October 18, 2024, in accordance with A.R.S. 9-499.15 and City of Phoenix
Administrative Regulations 1.98, the City posted on its website and social media page
that the new fees in Chapter 5D will be on a City Council agenda on December 18,
2024, or later.

the Street Transportation Department and the Office of the City Engineer.

RT Sky Harbor, LLC Lease Termination (Ordinance S-51763) - District 8

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to early terminate Ground
Lease 102545 with RT Sky Harbor, LLC (RT) in Sky Harbor Center at Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport (PHX). Further request approval of the negotiated buyout
of the remaining unamortized capital improvements to RT and request to authorize the
City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item including reimbursement for the
cost of demolition and removal of existing improvements on the site.

Summary
RT leases approximately 15 acres of land at 1820 E. Sky Harbor Circle South in Sky
Harbor Center under Ground Lease 102545 that RT assumed from JPMorgan Chase
Bank, National Association on June 1, 2023. The property was improved by the
construction of an office building, a 746-space surface parking lot, and a 1,300-space
parking garage. These facilities have been vacant since February 2024. The Aviation
Department (Aviation) wishes to obtain these facilities from RT at the negotiation
payment amount of $10 million to buy out the remaining term on the Ground Lease,
which expires on November 30, 2032. In addition to the buyout, Aviation seeks to
reimburse RT in the amount of approximately $1.1 million for the demolition and
removal of the existing office building structure on the site. RT will perform the
demolition work in compliance with Title 34. At the completion of the demolition,
Aviation will incorporate that portion of the land into the existing surface parking lot on
the property. Aviation will utilize the remaining parking garage and the expanded
surface parking lot for airport customer parking. These additions will help address
growing parking demand and offset the reduction of airport parking inventory caused
by the Taxiway Uniform project and the relocation of the Airport Special Events parking
lot. These new parking facilities will help maintain adequate airport parking capacity to
meet the growing public demand.

Contract Term
Ground Lease 102545 is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2032. The early
termination of Ground Lease 102545 will be effective on the date of final inspection by
Aviation of the demolition of the existing building structure and receipt of all
documentation related to the demolition. The demolition and removal work is
anticipated to be completed by late summer 2025.




Financial Impact
Aviation negotiated a $10 million buyout amount to account for the unamortized
improvements and $1.1 million to reimburse demolition costs. The current lease
provision utilizes a straight-line deprecation calculation to determine lease buyout
value. Based on straight-line depreciation, the lease value would be approximately $12
million. To build new parking infrastructure with a similarly sized garage and surface
parking lot, the construction cost is estimated at $20 million. In comparison with the
straight-line appreciation value and new parking infrastructure construction costs, the
negotiated buyout amount of $10 million with demolition cost of $1.1 million provides
the best value for Aviation.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Phoenix Aviation Advisory Board Business and Development Subcommittee
recommended approval of the item on February 6, 2025, by a vote of 3-0.
The Phoenix Aviation Advisory Board recommended approval of the item on February

Wallace and Ladmo Way Ceremonial Street Name Signage - District 7

Request City Council approval to install ceremonial street name signage recognizing
The Wallace and Ladmo Show at the intersection of 1st Avenue and McKinley Street.

Summary
The Wallace and Ladmo Show was the longest-running live children's television
program in the country, airing from April 1, 1954 to December 29, 1989. The show
aired Monday through Friday after school and featured many celebrities such as Barry
Goldwater, Rose Mofford, Steven Spielberg, Acquanetta, Muhammad Ali, and more.
The show entertained and educated three generations over its decades on air, making
it a cherished part of Arizona's childhood memories.

The Wallace and Ladmo Show gave back to the community in many ways. They would
host local sports games such as football, basketball, baseball, and more with proceeds
going to local charities. They raised approximately $1,000,000 for local charities in
those 35 years. In addition to having local community outreach, people on the show
like Officer Harry from the Arizona Humane Society helped hundreds of cats and dogs
get adopted. Another notable achievement, the Phoenix Children's Hospital was able
to acquire seven heart monitors with the proceeds of selling 70,000 copies of The
Wallace and Ladmo Show - 35 Years of Laughter book.

When co-host, Bill Thompson passed away, he donated all show memorabilia to the
Arizona Historical Society to preserve its legacy for future generations.

The ceremonial street name sign will be mounted on the mast arm of the traffic signal
pole at the southwest corner of 1st Avenue and McKinley Street. See Attachment A
for an illustration of the proposed sign.

Financial Impact
The fabrication, installation and maintenance costs of the ceremonial street name sign
will be funded by the requestor.
