Hire Salary, Section 20 - Promotion, and Section 21 - Reclassifications or Grade
Change (Ordinance S-51671) - Citywide
Request City Council approval of amendments to combined Classification and Pay
Ordinance (S-51144) Section 10 - New Hire Salary, Section 20 - Promotion, and
Section 21 - Reclassifications or Grade Change in accordance with the
recommendation of Human Resources Committee 632.
Summary
The proposed updates to the Ordinance aim to simplify processes, resolve
ambiguities, and improve the administration and clarity of the Ordinance.
Section 10 (New Hire Salary) and Section 20 (Promotion):
These sections will be updated to replace the term "median" with "Step 14." This
adjustment simplifies the administration of pay adjustments and provides clearer
guidance on when higher levels of approval are required.
Section 21 (Reclassification or Grade Change):
This update addresses the process for determining an employee’s next salary review
date (i.e., merit date) when the employee is at the top step of their grade and not
receiving Productivity Enhancement Pay (PEP). The clarification ensures consistency
and eliminates confusion in managing such scenarios.
The proposed language is included in Attachment A.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Human Resources Committee 632 reviewed these modifications on January 22,
2025.
Responsible Department
This item is submitted by Assistant City Manager Lori Bays and the Human Resources
Department.
ATTACHMENT A
New language to be included in the combined Classification and Pay Ordinance is
identified in all capital letters. Deletions are indicated by strikethrough. For convenience,
all amendments, including formatting changes, are highlighted in yellow.
SECTION 10. New Hire Salary
New employees shall be hired at the minimum entry rate of the established
grade for each classification. Full-time, part-time, and non-seasonal employees will be
hired at a rate no lower than the City's established minimum entry rate of $15.00 per
hour. An employee hired into a position responsible for regularly supervising employees
shall receive one additional step increase above the minimum hiring rate in accordance
with the provisions of Section 20 (f) of this Ordinance if they regularly supervise a higher
paid subordinate. FOR NEW HIRES INTO CLASSIFICATIONS WITH A TOP STEP OF
17, a department head may authorize a beginning rate up to the median step 14 of the
pay grade after conducting an analysis with Human Resources. The City Manager and
Human Resources Director may authorize a beginning rate above the median step 14
of the pay grade in the event of labor market requirements or due to the unusual
qualifications of a candidate. In cases where a pay grade has an even number of steps,
the larger value shall be used as the median. If existing steps are not available to be
used, they shall not be included in the determination of the median step. Certified Police
Officer candidates from other jurisdictions may be brought in at a higher step based
upon the number of years of experience they have after receiving certification as a law
enforcement officer.
SECTION 20. Promotion
The following rules concerning promotions shall apply to employees:
(a) Upon promotion to another classification as a result of competitive
appointment, an employee shall receive a rate of pay that
corresponds to the next step in the employee's present pay grade
except that if no such rate exists, the employee shall be placed in
the closest step which is not less than that amount. If the employee
is currently at the top of their pay grade, but not yet receiving
productivity enhancement pay, the employee shall be placed in the
closest step which is not less than 4.9% above their current rate of
pay.
(b) Upon promotion, employees who are receiving productivity
enhancement pay shall be moved to at least that step of the new
grade which is not less than 4.9% above their combined base pay
and previous productivity enhancement amount. Placement in the
new grade will be limited to the maximum step in the grade.
(c) Employees eligible to be considered for a merit pay increase within
ninety (90) calendar days of the effective date of a promotion shall
be entitled to receive the promotional increase based upon the
amount they would have received at the next merit increase
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section.
(d) In cases of promotions into General or Public Safety Middle
Manager or Executive category classifications, employees shall
receive a pay rate which is a minimum of 5% higher than their
current rate, but not higher than the maximum pay rate of the new
pay grade.
(e) Part-time or job share employees who have worked at least one
thousand forty (1,040) hours since their last merit increase and are
promoted into a full-time position shall be entitled to receive the
promotional increase based upon the amount they would have
received at the next merit increase pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
section.
(f) An employee hired or promoted into a position responsible for
regularly supervising employees shall receive one additional step
increase above the minimum hiring rate or normal promotional
increase if they regularly supervise a higher paid subordinate. The
additional step increase shall not apply in the following cases: the
supervisor laterally transfers into a situation where a subordinate is
higher paid; a higher paid subordinate rotates into the supervisor's
work group; a higher paid subordinate is hired after the supervisor
is hired or promoted; the subordinate is being paid higher than the
salary range [Y-rated pursuant to the provisions of Section 21(c)];
the subordinate is higher paid due to receiving special assignment
pay; or the subordinate is higher paid due to specialized technical
skills as determined by the Human Resources Director. The
applicability of this provision shall be determined by the Human
Resources Director. This section does not apply to Middle Manager
or Executive employees.
(g) In Public Safety promotions, employees promoted to a supervisory
position shall receive a rate of pay that is at least one step higher
than the maximum base rate of pay of the highest paid sworn rank
they may supervise, excluding any special assignment pay in the
lower rank and excluding any employees paid higher than the salary
range [Y-rated pursuant to the provisions of Section 21(c)].
(h) In cases of promotion from Police Officer to Police Sergeant,
employees who have been receiving Productivity Enhancement
Pay shall have that amount factored along with their base pay when
calculating the promotional rate.
(i) In cases of promotions from Police Sergeant to Police Lieutenant,
employees receiving a pay increase of less than 3% shall have their
merit increase date set six (6) months from the date of promotion.
(k) In cases of promotions into the sworn classifications of Police
Sergeant and Police Lieutenant, employees who at the time of
promotion have already completed a minimum of twenty (20) years
of continuous service with the Phoenix Police Department shall
receive one additional pay step above regular promotional
calculations, but not higher than the maximum pay rate of the new
pay grade.
(l) Employees who receive a promotion to a higher classification and
receive a pay increase of less than 3% shall have their merit
increase date set six (6) months from the date of promotion.
(m) FOR PROMOTIONS INTO CLASSIFICATIONS WITH A TOP
STEP OF 17, a department head may authorize a promotional
increase up to the median step 14 of the pay grade after conducting
an analysis with Human Resources. The City Manager and Human
Resources Director may authorize a promotional increase above
the median step 14 of the pay grade in the event of labor market
requirements or due to the unusual qualifications of a candidate. In
cases where a pay grade has an even number of steps, the larger
value shall be used as the median. The provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply to individuals entering the classifications of Police
Recruit and Firefighter, Assign: Recruit.
SECTION 21. Reclassification or Grade Change
WHEN A POSITION IS RECLASSIFIED TO A CLASSIFICATION AT A
DIFFERENT PAY GRADE, OR WHEN THE CLASSIFICATION IS ASSIGNED TO A
DIFFERENT PAY GRADE, THE following rules concerning reclassifications or grade
changes shall apply to employees in impacted positions:
(a) When a position is reclassified to a classification at a different grade,
or when the classification is assigned to a different pay grade, tThe
affected employee shall be assigned to that step of the new grade
which corresponds to the employee's present pay rate except that if
no such rate exists, the employee shall be placed in the closest step
which does not result in a pay decrease. The employee’s next salary
review date shall not be affected by adjustments under this
paragraph.
1. Placement in the new grade will be limited to the maximum
step in that grade. HOWEVER, IN UNUSUAL
CIRCUMSTANCES, THE CITY MANAGER MAY PERMIT AN
EMPLOYEE IN A RECLASSIFIED POSITION TO REMAIN
AT A PAY RATE WHICH IS ABOVE THE MAXIMUM RATE
OF THE LOWER CLASSIFICATION FOR A PERIOD NOT
TO EXCEED TWO (2) YEARS FOR EACH PAY GRADE THE
CLASSIFICATION IS REDUCED. (THIS PRACTICE IS
KNOWN AS "Y RATING.") THIS PRACTICE MAY ALSO BE
FOLLOWED IN DETERMINING PAY RATES OF
EMPLOYEES IN CLASSIFICATIONS WITH PAY GRADES
THAT HAVE BEEN REDUCED. EMPLOYEES PAID ABOVE
THE MAXIMUM STEP RATE FOR THEIR CLASSIFICATION
WILL BE MOVED TO THE MAXIMUM STEP OF THE
APPROPRIATE GRADE, AND THE SALARY DIFFERENCE
REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THE PRESENT RATE WILL BE
ENTERED AS A PAYROLL ADJUSTMENT FOR A PERIOD
NOT TO EXCEED TWO (2) YEARS FOR EACH PAY GRADE
THE CLASSIFICATION IS REDUCED.
2. Affected employees EMPLOYEES who are receiving
productivity enhancement pay shall be moved to that step of
the new grade which corresponds the closest to their
combined current base pay and previous productivity
enhancement amount, and which does not result in a
decrease from that combined amount. EMPLOYEES THAT
WERE PREVIOUSLY AT TOP STEP AND RECEIVING
PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT PAY AND
SUBSEQUENTLY ARE PLACED AT THE TOP STEP AFTER
THE RECLASSIFICATION OR PAY GRADE CHANGE
SHALL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE PRODUCTIVITY
ENHANCEMENT PAY.
3. EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE BEEN AT THE TOP STEP OF
THEIR PAY GRADE FOR ONE YEAR OR MORE AND NOT
RECEIVING PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT PAY SHALL
BE MOVED UP ONE ADDITIONAL STEP IN THE NEW PAY
GRADE IF THE INCREASE IN PAY GRADE IS AN EVEN
NUMBER (E.G., 2, 4, 6, ETC.).
4. When the reclassified position is changed from non-
supervisory to supervisory, and the incumbent will be
responsible for supervising higher paid subordinates, the
employee shall be moved up one additional step in the new
grade. Any applicable circumstances as described in Section
20(Fg) are not affected by this paragraph.
5. In unusual circumstances, the city manager may permit a
reclassified employee to remain at a pay rate which is above
the maximum rate of the lower classification for a period not
to exceed two (2) years for each pay grade the classification
is reduced. (this practice is known as "y rating.") this
procedure may also be followed in determining pay rates of
employees in a classification for which the pay grade has
been reduced. Employees paid above the maximum step rate
for their classification will be moved to the maximum step of
the appropriate grade, with the salary difference required to
maintain the present rate to be entered as a payroll
adjustment for a period not to exceed two (2) years for each
pay grade the classification is reduced.
(b) EMPLOYEES WHO ARE PLACED AT LESS THAN TOP STEP FOR
THEIR PAY GRADE SHALL HAVE THEIR NEXT SALARY REVIEW
DATE (I.E. MERIT DATE) DETERMINED BY THE FOLLOWING
RULES:
1. EMPLOYEES WHO WERE AT LESS THAN THE TOP STEP
OF THEIR PAY GRADE PRIOR TO THE
RECLASSIFICATION OR PAY GRADE CHANGE SHALL
HAVE NO CHANGE TO THEIR NEXT SALARY REVIEW
DATE.
2. EMPLOYEES WHO WERE AT THE TOP STEP OF THEIR
GRADE FOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR PRIOR TO THE
RECLASSIFICATION OR PAY GRADE CHANGE SHALL
HAVE THEIR NEXT SALARY REVIEW DATE
ESTABLISHED AT ONE YEAR FROM THEIR STEP DATE
PRIOR TO THE RECLASSIFICATION OR PAY GRADE
CHANGE IF THE INCREASE IN PAY GRADE IS AN EVEN
NUMBER (E.G., 2, 4, 6, ETC.).
3. EMPLOYEES WHO WERE AT THE TOP STEP OF THEIR
GRADE, OTHER THAN THOSE IDENTIFIED IN #2 ABOVE,
SHALL HAVE THEIR NEXT SALARY REVIEW DATE
ESTABLISHED BASED ON THE PERCENTAGE OF
INCREASE IN PAY THE EMPLOYEE RECEIVED AT THE
TIME OF IMPLEMENTATION AS SHOWN IN THE
FOLLOWING TABLE.
(b) If a position is reclassified to a classification at a different grade, or
when the classification is assigned to a different pay grade, and the
affected employee does not have a next salary review date or the
employee was previously at the top step but will be moving to a step
less than the top step; the employee's next salary review date shall
be established based on the percentage of increase in pay the
employee received at the time of implementation as shown in the
following table. If the employee has received a merit increase during
the 30 calendar days prior to the effective date of the reclassification
or grade change, the percentage of pay change for determining the
next salary review date shall be calculated from the employee's pay
rate prior to the adjustment.

DECEMBER 4, 2024) - Loan Federal HOME-ARP Funds for Tanner Thomas
Village Affordable Housing Development Project (Ordinance S-51500) - District 8
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into an Affordable
Housing Loan Program agreement for up to $2,365,349 in federal U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HOME Investment Partnerships American
Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) program funds with Tanner Community Development, or a
City-approved nominee, for the Tanner Thomas Village affordable housing
development project, and to take all actions and execute all documents to complete
the loan. Authorization is also requested for the City Controller to disburse the funds
for the life of the contract. There is no impact to the General Fund.
Summary
On June 6, 2024, the Housing Department issued a HOME-ARP Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) for Non-Congregate Shelter and Rental Housing acquisition,
rehabilitation, and/or new construction projects to reduce homelessness and increase
housing stability. A NOFO Pre-Submittal Workshop was held on July 11, 2024.
Applications were due on August 30, 2024.
Procurement Information
Three proposals for Rental Housing acquisition were received and reviewed by an
evaluation committee comprised of City staff members representing various
departments. The proposals were evaluated on a 1,000-point scale based on the
following criteria: Operations; How Well the Project Addressed the Strategies to
Address Homelessness Plan; Organization Capacity; and Project Readiness. The
following were recommended for funding:
· St. Catherine Manor (Housing for Hope, LLC/Catholic Charities) - 870 points
· Tanner Thomas Village (Tanner Community Development) - 803 points
· Senior Bridge (Steel+Spark) - 790 points
Tanner Thomas Village, located at 1803 E. Broadway Road (District 8), consists of 37
permanent supportive housing units for previously homeless veterans. The 37
permanent supportive housing units will serve veterans with Area Median Income
(AMI) levels at or below 30 percent. Residents will receive supportive services through
Tanner Community Development’s on-site Community Resource Center where health
care navigation and equity, supplemental nutrition support, human and social services,
economic self-sufficiency, and workforce development services will be provided.
Additional project funding in the following amounts have been secured by the
developer:
· HUD Economic Development Initiative - $2,883,950
· State of Arizona Governor’s Office - $271,851
Project awards are contingent on full underwriting, environmental release of funds,
commitments of other financing, and availability of federal funds. The overall loan
structure will be consistent with the terms listed in the NOFO and HOME-ARP
Program requirements.
Financial Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund. HOME-ARP is a federally funded program.
Funding for this NOFO is made available from HOME-ARP funds. Funding is budgeted
in the Housing Department’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. Loan
execution is anticipated for Fiscal Year 2024-25, and the loan will be paid to the
developer during the construction period.
Public Outreach
As part of the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan process, HUD required extensive public
outreach to formulate the plan. Housing staff conducted six virtual listening sessions
for community stakeholders and interviewed numerous service agencies and housing
providers directly. More than 66 agencies participated in interviews and listening
sessions during this process. This public input was used to draft the HOME-ARP
Allocation Plan and inform the design of the NOFO to address the most critical needs
of the community.
As part of the formal adoption process, the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan was made
public and provided for a 15-day public comment period. The City of Phoenix
published a 15-day comment period and public hearing notice in the Arizona Republic
on August 29, 2022. A virtual public hearing was held to provide an opportunity for
public comment on September 12, 2022. The public comment period was open from
September 13 to September 27, 2022. City Council approved the HOME-ARP
Allocation Plan on November 16, 2022. The HOME-ARP Allocation Plan was approved
by HUD on February 6, 2023.

Districts 5, 7 & 8
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to apply for, accept and for the
City Controller to expend 2025 Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant
money up to $117,000. The funds will be used to launch a pilot program improving
emerging readers' reading skills and procure equipment and materials in order to
improve accessibility to and archive historical documents and special collections that
are currently part of the Arizona Room at Burton Barr Central Library. Further request
authorization for the City Treasurer to accept and the City Controller to disburse funds
related to this item.
Summary
The purpose of the grant is to support two critical Phoenix Public Library projects:
Emerging Readers Support - Funds will be utilized to support families of emerging
readers by creating and conducting caregiver workshops on the science of reading
and the best strategies for adults to support emerging readers. In 2022, 41 percent of
Arizona children passed the third grade reading test; but that statistic drops to just 27
percent for economically disadvantaged children. Arizona schools have embraced a
Structured Literacy model that explicitly teaches word identification/decoding strategies
(based on the science of reading). This change in instruction has started to move the
needle for third grade reading but there is more that can be done. Phoenix Public
Library intends to create a pilot project that will focus on the Maryvale community, in
partnership with the City of Phoenix Office of Youth and Education Services and the
Cartwright School District. In addition, small print collections of decodable books will
be placed at several libraries that serve economically disadvantaged communities.
Depending on cost, those libraries may include Palo Verde, Harmon, Ocotillo, Desert
Sage, and Saguaro. Staff at these libraries will receive special training on how to use
and promote decodable books. Decodable books are books that are designed to help
students learn to read by using phonics skills to decode words. They are a key part of
structured literacy programs in classrooms, especially for beginning readers.
Decodable books develop and strengthen word recognition, while typical leveled
readers are tools for developing language comprehension. The amount requested for
this project will not exceed $50,000.
Arizona Room - the Arizona Room at Burton Barr Central Library houses a unique
local and communal Arizona history collection that showcases the history and culture
of greater Phoenix and Arizona, and includes documents and items from recent history
and Arizona history before statehood. The Arizona Room space includes a large
reading room for research and personal interest studies. These elements offered in the
Arizona Room are invaluable for researchers, historians, architects, preservationists,
and the general public. To preserve these collections in perpetuity and provide
inclusive access to all community members, funds from this grant will be used to
procure mobile research tables, chairs, and exhibit mounts, and illuminated magnifying
readers to increase access and use of the collection; and archival boxes, folders,
document cases, and display mounts to properly store collection materials and protect
while on display for public viewing. The amount requested for this project will not
exceed $67,000.
The Library Services and Technology Act is the only federal program exclusively for
libraries. It is administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. State
libraries use the funds to support statewide initiatives and also distribute the funds
through sub-grants or cooperative agreements to public, school, academic, research,
and special libraries. Every fiscal year, Congress provides funding for LSTA in the
Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations
bill. Federal resources help target library services to people of diverse geographic,
cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, to individuals with disabilities, and to people
with limited literacy skills. Grant applications are due in March and awarded in July of
2025.
Financial Impact
The amount of the grant, total of up to $117,000, will be expended in Fiscal Year 2025-
26 and as no matching funds are required, there is no impact to the General Fund.

amount not to exceed $475,000 for design, fabrication and installation of artwork for
the Dobbins Road Improvements Public Art Project. Further request authorization for
the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.
Summary
The City of Phoenix Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-29 Public Art Plan includes funding for
artwork to be integrated into the Dobbins Road Improvements Project. In collaboration
with the Street Transportation Department, the Office of Arts and Culture sought to
commission pedestrian-scale artwork to be integrated with the project. The project is
currently in the planning and pre-design phase and is scheduled to begin construction
in 2027.
The project focuses on widening approximately 4.3 miles to develop a consistent
corridor that increases the traffic capacity along Dobbins Road from State Route 202
(LOOP 202) to 27th Avenue. As part of this project, the artist is expected to develop
and implement community engagement activities during the design phase. The artwork
should enrich the area’s visual identity and further enhance the pedestrian experience
along Dobbins Road.
A Request for Qualifications was released on September 6, 2024, with a submission
deadline of October 16, 2024. On December 20, 2024, a three-member selection
panel reviewed 25 qualified applications and selected the artist team of Daniel Nez
and Miguel Angel Godoy, with Martin Moreno chosen as the alternate. The selection
panel included Chuck Christiansen, Street Transportation Department project
manager; Salvador Lopez, District 8 resident, Cesar Chavez High School teacher
(Laveen); Dallas Ryan, District 7 resident and artist.
Financial Impact
The Dobbins Road Improvements Public Art Project is one of 48 projects in the FY
2024-29 Public Art Plan that the City Council approved on July 1, 2024. The proposed
$475,000 budget will cover all costs related to the artwork's design, fabrication, and
installation. Additional funding in the Plan for this project covers staff time, contingency,
and administrative costs. Funding is available in the Public Art Capital Improvement
Program budget.

Canopy Grant Program (Ordinance S-51681) - Citywide
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into multiple grant
agreements with multiple grantees to disburse funds for the Community Canopy Grant
Program. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds and
supplies related to this item. There is no impact to the General Fund. Funding is
available from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service
through the Federal Fiscal Year 2022-23 Urban and Community Forestry (UCF)
Program allocation of the Federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The aggregate
expenditures will not exceed $3 million.
Summary
Increasing urban tree canopy cover is an important public health strategy that supports
the 2025 General Plan core value to build the most sustainable desert city. In
November 2024, Phoenix City Council unanimously adopted the Shade Phoenix Plan,
which guides the implementation of more than 30 unique strategies and programs to
provide more tree and shade coverage throughout the City. Several actions in the
Shade Phoenix Plan are funded by a $10 million Urban and Community Forestry grant
awarded to the City of Phoenix by the USDA. On October 4, 2023, Phoenix City
Council authorized the distribution of $10 million from the USDA’s Forest Service
Urban and Community Forestry Grant through the IRA to the Office of Heat Response
Mitigation (OHRM) for the creation of grant and community impact programs.
To increase the tree shade canopy in disadvantaged neighborhoods, OHRM is seeking
authorization to use up to $3 million of USDA grant funds to implement a Community
Canopy Grant Program to provide trees, labor and supplies for tree planting projects to
community members, neighborhood groups and non-profits throughout Phoenix. No
more than $3 million will be committed for the Community Canopy Grant Program.
Building from the successful implementation of the Community Canopy Grant Program
funded through the American Rescue Plan Act, the IRA Community Canopy grant will
improve the prospects of residents impacted by heat, and address economic and
social disparities throughout Phoenix. This grant program will assist in that effort by
providing trees, skilled labor, supplies, education and follow up support to at risk
community members, neighborhood groups and non-profits in neighborhoods with low
tree canopy cover.
The Community Canopy Grant Program will be open to community members,
neighborhood groups and non-profits for tree planting projects in underserved
neighborhoods. OHRM will facilitate and administer this grant program. The
Community Canopy Grant Program will accept applications on a rolling basis and all
funding will be spent by the end of June 2029.
Financial Impact
Funding for this program will not exceed $3 million. There is no impact to the General
Fund. Funding is available through the Federal IRA from the United States Department
of Agriculture Forest Service, through the City's award from the Federal Fiscal Year
2022-23 UCF Program.

Summary
In January 2024, the City initiated a pilot program involving the deployment of two
mobile trailer cameras at select parks to improve safety measures. Following the

coverage and backup power capabilities. The services encompass 24-hour recording
with a 15-day storage capacity, after-hours live monitoring from SentraCam's Network
Operations Center, a 24/7 customer support line, remote access to the cameras via
smartphone or desktop, and daily audit report emails detailing detected movements.

Development Board (Ordinance S-51674) - Citywide
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee to enter into the Shared
Governance Agreement (SGA) between the Phoenix City Council and the Phoenix
Business and Workforce Development Board (Board) that describes the entities and
responsibilities involved with the shared governance of the local workforce
development area.
Summary
The Board is a local workforce development board established by federal law in the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). As stated in WIOA Section 107(d)
and 20 CFR 679.370, the chief elected official(s) and the Board share responsibilities
for key Board functions, including the development and submission of the local plan,
program oversight, negotiation of local performance accountability measures, selection
of service providers (such as one-stop operators and eligible providers of workforce
services), and approval of the budget for the Board's activities.
Per WIOA, the chief elected official(s) and the Board must enter into a written
agreement, commonly referred to as a "local governance agreement," which outlines
and describes how the parties will collaborate to fulfill their individual and shared
governance responsibilities. Additionally, the agreement must specify Board
membership criteria, the process for establishing local policies, and protocols for
communication with the elected officials and the public.
On December 1, 2019, the Phoenix City Council and the Board entered into a written
agreement referred to as the "Shared Local Governance Agreement," which defines
the roles and responsibilities of each party in governing the Phoenix local workforce
development area. The agreement must be updated to reflect changes to the Board,
clarify processes and responsibilities, and ensure ongoing compliance with WIOA and
applicable state policy requirements.
Proposed changes include updating the name of the agreement to align with state
policy terminology as well as amending Board bylaws to further specify roles and
responsibilities for Board, Providers, contractors and Fiscal Agent; composition and
appointment procedures; and, establish requirements for regular updates to the chief
elected official(s) on Board activities. Additional changes will include details on annual
assessment of the accessibility of all one-stop centers and responsibility for system
coordination. The SGA will also establish a process for resolving conflicts between the
Board and the chief elected official(s) through collaborative discussion.
Contract Term
Upon execution, this agreement will remain in effect until the dissolution of the Board,
discontinuation of funding from the State or U.S. Department of Labor, or amendment
or termination by mutual agreement of the parties, as consistent with WIOA
requirements.
Financial Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund as a result of this action.

and facilitate the Mayor's and City Council’s priority of developing the future workforce
of Phoenix. The program budget will be focused on funding contractual agreements to
further develop and maintain this program in Phoenix. This proposed contract and
funding will support program staffing, program development, and incentives to

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into a contract with
Callyo 2009 Corp. to provide covert audio and video subscription services for the City
of Phoenix Police Department. Further request an exception to the indemnity and
assumption of liability provisions of Phoenix City Code Section 42-18. Further request
to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The total value
of the contract will not exceed $206,052.
Summary
This contract will provide the capability of recording audio and video for officers while
working undercover investigations. The audio and video services assist officer safety
by allowing all involved investigators, surveillance officers, and supervisors to
surreptitiously monitor the activity of an undercover detective. The recorded telephonic
conversations, audio, and video assist in providing significant evidence against the
suspect. These services reduce staff hours spent in court allowing investigators to
complete additional investigations and reduces the exposure of undercover officers.
The Drug Enforcement Bureau (DEB) Street Enforcement squads and the Human
Exploitation and Trafficking squads will utilize the subscriptions for undercover
investigations. Callyo has been in continuous use at DEB since 2019 to visually and
audibly capture evidence obtained in undercover interactions with suspects as well as
a measure of officer safety to monitor for any hazards while engaging with a suspect. It
is an application-based product which allows the user to move it from device to device
utilizing existing hardware. Additionally, the recorded telephonic conversations, audio,
and video assists in prosecution by providing significant evidence against the suspect.
Recently, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office has indicated that a drug sales case
must be supported by audio/video evidence.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services
Department.
Procurement Information

University for the Community Safety Plans Research Project (Ordinance S-
51667) - Districts 1, 3, 4, 5 & 6
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Ordinance S-48357
to allow additional expenditures under Contract 153669 with Arizona State University
(ASU) for the Phoenix Community Safety Plans (CSPs) Research Project. Further
request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The
additional expenditures will not exceed $11,753.
Summary
In February 2022, the City Council approved an Intergovernmental Agreement with
ASU for the study of the Phoenix CSP focus areas. The purpose of this research
project was to assist in the development and evaluation of new responses to crime and
quality of life concerns within the CSP footprints. ASU has been working with the City
Manager's Office, Police Department, and other departments to help document the
development and implementation of the CSPs to establish a clear record of actions
taken and challenges to implement the CSPs. ASU is assessing the effectiveness of
the implemented strategies such as the Police Department's Real Time Operations
Center (RTOC). Additionally, the research project is looking for evidence of
displacement of crime to other areas or conversely, added benefits to public safety
outside of the CSP focus areas.
The purpose of this amendment is to provide additional funds to compensate ASU for
research time to complete the study of the RTOCs and the CSPs. Additional research
time is necessary due to the delay in the delivery of the RTOC technology which
delayed the full implementation of the CSPs to April 2024. The additional time will
allow ASU to gather crime incident data for one-year post-implementation of the
RTOCs to measure the effectiveness of the intervention strategy.
Contract Term
The contract term remains unchanged, ending July 11, 2025.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $11,753 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the
agreement will not exceed $64,334. Funds are available in the Police Department's
budget.

A public hearing on the proposed update to development impact fees as required by
Arizona Revised Statutes 9-463.05.
Summary
Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) 9-463.05 require cities to hold a public hearing no
less than 30 days after posting a notice of intention (NOI) to assess a development
fee. The NOI was posted to the City’s website on December 19, 2024. On December
18, 2024, City Council adopted revised Land Use Assumptions (LUAs) and
Infrastructure Improvements Plans (IIPs) for eleven categories of necessary public
services, including: fire protection, police, parks, library, major arterials (roads &
bridges), storm drainage (flood control), wastewater collection, wastewater treatment,
water transmission, water treatment, and water resources. IIPs describe the
assumptions and methodologies used to calculate development fees for each category
of service. Adopted LUAs and IIPs can be viewed online at:
www.phoenix.gov/pddsite/Pages/Proposed2025InfrastructureFinancingPlan. Proposed
development fee changes are summarized in the Draft Development Impact Fee
Report, enclosed as Attachment A. These fees are critical to keep pace with the
construction costs and to ensure that new development users that most benefit from
the services are paying their fair share in an equitable manner.
Next Steps
Between 30 and 60 days after the public hearing on proposed development fees,
Council is required to approve or disapprove the proposed development impact fee
update. If approved, Arizona Revised Statutes require that the new fees do not
become effective until 75 days after City Council action. City Council action on the
proposed fees is currently scheduled for April 9, 2025.

recommended changes to the net impact fees.
IMPACT FEE AREA MAP
IMPACT FEE AREA BUILDING BLOCKS AND SERVICE AREA BOUNDARIES
Land use assump�ons have been summarized in geographic building blocks that can be aggregated to
the impact fee service areas applicable to each impact fee program. The impact fee service areas
described in this report are based on the areas established in previous plans. The only notable change
is a proposed ‘citywide’ impact fee service area for Water Treatment and Wastewater Treatment that
would be assessed in the ‘Balance of City’ area.
The following table displays how the impact fee “building block” areas are combined to make
designated impact fee service areas for each fee category. The building block geographies are shown

Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
Z-TA-9-24-Y
January 27, 2025
Application No. Z-TA-9-24-Y: Amend the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance Chapter 2,
Section 202 (Definitions) to revise and clarify definitions regarding affordable housing
and related items; replace Chapter 7, Section 711 (Planned Development--Reserved) to
establish standards for Multi-Family Conversion of obsolete commercial, office, and/or
mixed-use buildings; and replace Section 712 (Mobile Home Parks--Reserved) to
establish development standards for adaptive reuse of existing buildings.
Staff recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Z-TA-9-24-Y per the language
proposed in Exhibit A.
BACKGROUND
This text amendment is a response to House Bill 2297, approved by the Fifty-Sixth
Legislature, Second Session (2024) which modified the Arizona Revised Statutes § 9-
462.10 to require municipalities to allow multi-family conversion and adaptive reuse of
existing “economically or functionally obsolete” commercial, office, and/or mixed-used
buildings by right. However, the permissions are restricted to “not more than 10% of the
total existing commercial, office or mixed-use buildings within the municipality,” and also
must comply with certain development standards and requirements, including the
provision of at least 10% of the dwelling units for low-income or moderate-income
housing. Qualifying sites may be located anywhere within the City, unless located in
one of the areas exempted under the statute.
PURPOSE
This amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, Z-TA-9-24-Y, is intended to create by-right
permissions for multi-family conversion and adaptive reuse of existing economically or
functionally obsolete commercial, office, and mixed-use buildings, City-wide, as required
by the revised statute.
Staff Report: Z-TA-9-24-Y
January 27, 2025

PROPOSAL
Staff recommends creation of a new section of the Zoning Ordinance, Section 711, to
allow conversion of existing obsolete commercial, office, or mixed-use buildings city-
wide in a limited capacity, as well as codify the permissions for adaptive reuse of
existing buildings in a new Section 712, per the provisions of A.R.S. § 9-462.10.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT
The proposed text amendment includes three main components: 1) new and revised
definitions; 2) creation of a new Section 711, Multi-Family Conversion, and 3) creation
of a new Section 712, Adaptive Reuse.
1. New and Revised Definitions
The following new definitions are proposed:
• Economically or Functionally Obsolete
• Housing, Workforce
• Multi-Family Conversion
The following existing definitions are proposed to be revised:
• Adaptive Reuse
• Commercial Use
• Housing, Affordable
A.R.S. § 9-462.10 provides the definition for “Economically or Functionally
Obsolete”, and that language is used for the Zoning Ordinance definition. The same
applies to “Adaptive Reuse”, which already had a definition in the Zoning Ordinance,
but has been updated to use language more similar to that provided in the statute.
The change proposed for “Housing, Affordable” and the new definition for “Housing,
Workforce” are written to match the language typically used by the City of Phoenix
Housing Department: “Affordable Housing” is low-income housing, meaning for
residents earning up to 80% of the area median income; and “Workforce Housing” is
moderate-income housing, meaning for residents earning from 80% to 120% of the
area median income.
The definition of “Commercial Use” was revised to be more descriptive and identify a
“commercial” building, which in addition to office buildings and/or mixes of the two,
Staff Report: Z-TA-9-24-Y
January 27, 2025
Page 3
are the only type of existing buildings qualified for conversion to multi-family per the
provisions of the statute.
The definition of “Multi-Family Conversion” was created to make clear that is it not
the same as the general term “multi-family development”. “Multi-Family Conversion”
is specifically defined as redevelopment of existing qualifying obsolete buildings with
multi-family housing, including the provision of affordable and/or workforce housing
in accordance with A.R.S. § 9-462.10 and the new Section 711.
2. Creation of a new Section 711, Multi-Family Conversion.
The existing Section 711, Planned Development, is “reserved” and provides no
language or regulations, except for the title. This text amendment proposes to
replace the title and use the section for regulations regarding Multi-Family
Conversion.
A.R.S. § 9-462.10 requires that the City designate “not more than 10% of the total
existing commercial, office, or mixed use buildings within the municipality” for
adaptive reuse and/or multi-family conversion, by right (i.e. no public hearings).
However, there are eligibility criteria provided in the statute, which in turn are
provided in the standards of Section 711.
Objective Standards
A municipality must require the following objective standards, but no more, to qualify
for the by-right permissions of A.R.S. § 9-462.10:
• An administrative site plan review process.
• Determination of adequate public water and sewer to serve the site.
• Compliance with all applicable building construction and fire codes.
• Determination that any existing on-site building is “economically and
functionally obsolete”.
• A minimum parcel size of one acre, and a maximum size of 20 acres.
• Requirement that a minimum of 10% of the provided dwelling units are either
low- and/or moderate-income housing (affordable and/or workforce housing).
Height and Density
In addition to the Objective Standards, by-right multi-family development has
requirements regarding permitted height and density:
Staff Report: Z-TA-9-24-Y
January 27, 2025
Page 4
• Permitted height is 5 stories and 56 feet, except where within 100 feet of
single-family zoned properties, where the height is limited to two stories and
30 feet.
• Density shall be equal to the highest allowable density within one mile of the
building to be redeveloped.
Other Development Standards
Section 711 also provides direction on development standards applicable to a Multi-
Family Conversion other than height and density, summarized as follows:
• Sites zoned Downtown Code (DTC) must comply with the height provisions of
A.R.S. § 9-462.10, but density is unlimited since all of Downtown is located
within one mile of the DTC Business Core Character Area, which has no
density restrictions. All other development standards to be applied are the
same as for any other DTC development.
• Sites not located within Downtown but in a Transit-Oriented Community
(TOC) area must comply with the height provisions of A.R.S. § 9-462.10, but
density is unlimited since the TOC areas have been designated for future
rezoning to the Walkable Urban Code (WU Code, Chapter 13), which also
has no density restrictions. All other development standards to be applied in
a TOC area are the same as for a multi-family development zoned WU Code.
• All other sites must comply with the height provisions of A.R.S. § 9-462.10,
and with all other development standards that are applied for multi-family
development in the R-3 zoning district. This is consistent with how multi-
family development is permitted in the City’s commercial zoning districts. The
only exception is permitted density. Upon the applicant’s request, the density
of the development may be increased to match the maximum density of a
multi-family zoned site located within one mile of the proposed Multi-Family
Conversion site.
Site Eligibility
Section 711 proposes a process by which an application is submitted to the Planning
and Development Department to demonstrate how the proposed site will comply
with the required Objective Standards required by the statute. Upon review of the
application, if determined to be eligible, the City would then provide a written notice
of eligibility, which would then allow the development review process, including plan
submittals, to commence. If a site is deemed ineligible per the provisions of the
statute, the written notice will provide the reason(s) why the application was denied.

Exemptions
A.R.S. § 9-462.10 also includes exemptions for properties adjacent to FAA-licensed
airports, properties designated as historic, and tribal lands. Section 711 includes
these exemptions. The exemptions related to airports fall within the “territory in the
vicinity of a public airport”, which under State statute, means the areas within the 60
decibel day-night average sound level. The airports which created exempted areas
within the City of Phoenix are as follows:
• Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport
• Phoenix Deer Valley Airport
• Scottsdale Airport
The areas are mapped as follows:

3. Creation of a new Section 712, Adaptive Reuse.
The existing Section 712, Mobile Home Parks, is “reserved” and provides no
language or regulations, except for the title. This text amendment proposes to
replace the title and use the section for regulations regarding Adaptive Reuse.
A.R.S. § 9-462.10 also addresses “adaptive reuse” and provides a definition, which
is not identical to the City’s existing definition, but close. It has been updated, but
with a provision that any building qualifying for adaptive reuse must also still be
considered a “building” (roof and walls). This is consistent with the provision in
A.R.S. § 9-462.10 which only allow “partial demolition” for buildings subject to
adaptive reuse.
The same Objective Standards which apply for Multi-Family Conversion also apply
to Adaptive Reuse, though the requirement to provide Affordable and/or Workforce
Housing apply only when dwelling units are provided. The language provided
regarding demolition, applicable setbacks, permitted height, parking, and site
improvements adapts key provisions of A.R.S. § 9-462.10 for application to adaptive
reuse projects.
The application of Section 712 is not anticipated to require any modifications to the
City’s existing adaptive reuse program. It has been created primarily to codify the
required adaptive reuse provisions of A.R.S. § 9-462.10.
