W.L. Gore and Associates (Gore) is interested in exchanging land with the City of Flagstaff. The exchange has been reviewed by City staff and it has been determined that it will enhance the Flagstaff Urban Trail System (FUTS), support the retention and expansion of an existing primary sector business, and provide a land value benefit for the City. View Agenda Item
|
|
This land exchange is fiscally beneficial to the City of Flagstaff. The private parcel being exchanged has been appraised at a greater value than the City owned parcel. The Gore piece appraised at $940,000.00. The City parcel appraised at $106,000.00. The difference shall be considered a donation to the City of Flagstaff. The FUTS portion connects sections of trail that otherwise terminate leaving those who use the trail at a dead-end. The parcel would need to be acquired at some point in the future. Doing the acquisition as a part of this exchange has the likelihood of saving financial resources in the future.
View Agenda Item
|
|
This exchange helps a local primary sector industry which is a major employer in the region to grow and improve their operations on the Fourth Street Campus. In addition, the Gore parcel will provide the land necessary to enhance connectivity for the FUTS.
View Agenda Item
|
|
There has not been any previous council discussion or decision on this topic. View Agenda Item
|
|
1) Approve Ordinance No. 2014-02 and the execution of the land exchange.
2) Not approve Ordinance No. 2014-02 and provide direction to staff on what adjustments would need to be negotiated to address any concerns. This could delay the exchange and possibly put the negotiations at risk.
3) Not approve Ordinance No. 2014-02 and not execute the land exchange. This would prevent the benefit to Gore and of the FUTS trail system. View Agenda Item

Consideration and Approval of Contract: With Coconino County for bulk winter blend diesel Fuel, bid number 2014-04 to Pro Petroleum of Phoenix, Arizona in the amount of $.0035 per gallon below O.P.I.S. (Oil Prices Information Services). View Agenda Item
|
|
Approve the joint bid contract for Bulk Winter Blend Diesel Fuel with Pro Petroleum.
View Agenda Item
|
|
Fleet Services has a need to purchase and use clear diesel for the winter months. The benefits would be less filter clogging when the temperatures fall below ten degrees Fahrenheit. A joint bid was conducted and a contract secured by Coconino County for this service; the City of Flagstaff, Flagstaff Unified School District and Northern Arizona University participated in the bidding process, which included the annual quantities of fuel used by these agencies to obtain more competitive pricing based on volume to increase our purchasing power. The joint bid will ensure the City of Flagstaff can purchase Bulk Winter Blend Diesel fuel for $.0035 cents per gallon below O.P.I.S (Oil Prices Information Services) during the winter months or other times as deemed necessary at a very competitive price. View Agenda Item
|
|
Fleet Services should see less service calls for clogged (waxed filters), equipment will maintain fuel flow below ten degress fahrenheit. Using the joint bid will allow the city of Flagstaff to purchase bulk winter blend diesel at $.0035 cents below O.P.I.S for an additional savings in operating costs. View Agenda Item

The Model City Tax Code is the City of Flagstaff’s guiding tax document. The Model CIty Tax Code has been updated by the Model City Tax Code Commission to conform with new laws adopted by the state legislature and to improve uniformity with state transaction privilege tax laws. No new taxes are being imposed by the City. Several new tax exemptions are being adopted. Many of the changes to the Model City Tax Code are retroactive and are already recognized by the City.
When changes are made to the Model City Tax Code, the City is required to align the City Code with the Model City Tax Code. In addition, by adopting the proposed ordinance, the City is doing its part to help in the Governor's Transaction Privilege Task Force's efforts to make the Model City Tax Code more uniform. Subsidiary Decisions Points: None. View Agenda Item

View Agenda Item

The City desires to obtain community health and human services, in particular, homeless-shelter services. In 2009, after procurement, the City awarded a favorable lease agreement to Flagstaff Shelter Services in consideration for their agreement to provide homeless-shelter services on the leased City property. Instead of executing the lease, the City exchanged that property for a parcel owned by W.L. Gore & Associates. The exchange will allow the City to continue a FUTS trail. The City now wishes to secure continued homeless-shelter services in the City of Flagstaff by providing funds to Flagstaff Shelter Services that are approximately equivalent in value to the value of the previously awarded lease. View Agenda Item
|
|
In 2004, the citizens of Flagstaff passed a bond measure to allow for acquisition of property for the Flagstaff Urban Trails System (FUTS). $102,000 is available from the FUTS funds to obtain property to provide a connection to two (2) existing FUTS segments. These segments will be on the property that the City is obtaining from W.L. Gore if the Council approves the property exchange. Those funds would then be used to help provide for homeless-shelter services . The City will require Flagstaff Shelter Services to execute a promissory note and a deed of trust in the amount of $102,000. So long as Flagstaff Shelter Services or its successor provides homeless-shelter services in Flagstaff for a period of ten years, the note will be forgiven. Also, for each year that homeless-shelter services are provided, one-tenth of the of the amount of the property lien will be forgiven. View Agenda Item

Approve Settlement Agreement with Campus Crest at Flagstaff II, LLC
View Agenda Item
|
|
The City made errors in invoicing sewer capacity and other fees for multi-family residential developments. Following discovery of the errors, in May 2013, the City issued new invoices for amounts owed. In November 2013, the City Council authorized litigation to collect fees. Fees are still owed for two developments: The Grove Phase I and Flagstaff Senior Meadows. The City has reached a settlement in principle with the developer for The Grove Phase I, and a settlement agreement will be presented at the Council Meeting. City staff is recommending approval.
Subsidiary Decisions Points: The City has a development agreement for the The Grove Phase I, which requires the parties to engage in settlement efforts and non-binding mediation before commencing litigation. View Agenda Item
|
|
The Settlement Agreement calls for the developer to pay 90% of the balance owed, which along with the original invoiced payment will result in almost full recovery of the applicable sewer capacity fees. City sewer capacity fees and development fees are established by City ordinance, based upon studies and following a public hearing. The fees help pay for infrastructure and services that benefit the developments and community. View Agenda Item

W.L. Gore and Associates (Gore) is interested in exchanging land with the City of Flagstaff. The exchange has been reviewed by City staff and it has been determined that it will enhance the Flagstaff Urban Trail System (FUTS), support the retention and expansion of an existing primary sector business, and provide a land value benefit for the City. View Agenda Item
|
|
This land exchange is fiscally beneficial to the City of Flagstaff. The private parcel being exchanged has been appraised at a greater value than the City owned parcel. The Gore piece appraised at $940,000.00. The City parcel appraised at $106,000.00. The difference shall be considered a donation to the City of Flagstaff. The FUTS portion connects sections of trail that otherwise terminate leaving those who use the trail at a dead-end. The parcel would need to be acquired at some point in the future. Doing the acquisition as a part of this exchange has the likelihood of saving financial resources in the future.
View Agenda Item
|
|
This exchange helps a local primary sector industry which is a major employer in the region to grow and improve their operations on the Fourth Street Campus. In addition, the Gore parcel will provide the land necessary to enhance connectivity for the FUTS. View Agenda Item
|
|
There has not been any previous council discussion or decision on this topic. View Agenda Item
|
|
1) Approve Ordinance No. 2014-02 and the execution of the land exchange.
2) Not approve Ordinance No. 2014-02 and provide direction to staff on what adjustments would need to be negotiated to address any concerns. This could delay the exchange and possibly put the negotiations at risk.
3) Not approve Ordinance No. 2014-02 and not execute the land exchange. This would prevent the benefit to Gore and of the FUTS trail system. View Agenda Item
