|||||
Executive Summary: | |||||
Chemicals represent a large investment in the effective operation of the city's potable water treatment plants. Chemical coagulants are used to remove impurities in surface water from Upper Lake Mary in the production of potable drinking water. These chemicals are critical to the treatment of water in order to comply with water quality regulations and ensure the public's safety. In 2016 the Lake Mary Water Treatment Plant conducted trials with various coagulants to determine the best treatment. Based on the study, T-Floc B41 was selected and has been in use at the Lake Mary Water Treatment Plants since the end of 2016. | |||||
Financial Impact: | |||||
This chemical purchase is budgeted annually in the Water Services Fund in account 202-08-301-1011-0-4362, with a total FY 2020-21 budget of $308,200 for all water treatment chemicals. | |||||

|||||
Options and Alternatives: | |||||
1. Approve of the proprietary source purchase of T-Floc B41 from Thatcher Company of Arizona, Inc.; or 2. Do not approve the proprietary source purchase, which would require the Lake Mary Water Treatment Plant to re-evaluate the treatment process and potentially convert back to one based on aluminum sulfate as a primary coagulant. |
|||||
Background and History: | |||||
Chemicals represent a large investment in the effective operation of potable water treatment plants. Flagstaff Water Services, Water Production Section uses the following chemicals for these specific purposes:
The treatment chemical/coagulant T-Floc B-41 is used in place of aluminum sulfate which helps reduce the use of caustic soda and cationic polymer. Over the last decade, compared to traditional coagulants such as aluminum sulfate, poly aluminum chlorohydrates, such as T-Floc B-41, have been found to work more effectively in low alkalinity waters such as is found in Upper Lake Mary and require less pH adjustment both for raw and treated/finished water. |

Consideration and Approval of a Cooperative Purchase Contract: To replace a 24 year old wildand fire engine through the cooperative purchase for a new one in the amount of $181,635. | |||||
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
Approve the purchase of a Type VI Wildland Engine from SNF, Inc. (dba BFX Fire Apparatus) in the amount of $181,635 through cooperative purchase contract #GS-30F-0025V with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).
|
|||||
Executive Summary: | |||||
This is part of the council approved Flagstaff Fire Department (FFD) apparatus replacement plan. FFD are replacing the oldest unit in our wildland fleet (1996 = 24 yrs. old) with a new engine that will match other existing units. The older model being replaced is no longer dependable due to age of the unit, the pump's pressure capacity cannot push out the proper gallons per minute for the hose and is a single cab configuration which is not capable of carrying the whole crew to a working wildfire incident. This new model is a specific build for FFD that is through a sole source with BFX Fire Apparatus. By using the BFX Fire Apparatus specifications FFD will now have all four Type VI engines built under the same specifications for training, repairs and general familiarity by crews. | |||||
Financial Impact: | |||||
This funding was approved by the FLEET committee, Budget Team, City Manager and City Council as part of the current fiscal year budget. The approved amount was not-to-exceed $190,000 in General Fund, Fire Division in account 001-03-051-0203-2-4401 and this purchase stays within that budget.

Options and Alternatives: | |||||
- Approve the replacement purchase of the Type 6 Wildland Engine; or - Disapprove the replacement purchase of the Type 6 Wildland Engine |
|||||
Background and History: | |||||
The replacement of this Type 6 wildfire engine takes a 24 year old unit out of service that is not suited for bringing current 3-4 person crews and the necessary equipment to the scene of a working wildfire incident. This unit will be placed out of the FFD central station #2 (Ponderosa Pkwy) that will be the primary unit for all Sunnyside, upper Greenlaw, parts of Mount Elden, Cedar Hill and is the primary back up unit to Districts 1,3,4 and 5. This is a primary wildfire response engine, but also can be used for inclement weather events and areas with limited access. The procurement was done through a cooperative using the contract #GS-30F-0025V with the U.S. General Services Administration to access better pricing through the contractor SNF, Inc. (dba BFX Fire Apparatus). |
|||||
Key Considerations: | |||||
This unit is 24 years old and has a pump that has limited capacity based on modern water distribution needs. The single cab is not capable of safely brining more than two (2) members and gear to a working incident due to size and FFD crews are a minimum of three (3). | |||||
Community Benefits and Considerations: | |||||
This unit is one that will be available for wildfire callout at the State and Federal level when the Flagstaff community is not in high wildfire danger. These assignments off district bring in additional funding for the City and Department. | |||||
Community Involvement: | |||||
Wildfire continues to be the highest identified threat to the Flagstaff community and purchasing the Type VI Wildland Engine allows for a continuation of the community protection and the surrounding regions. | |||||

1. Approve the award as recommended. This would allow the project to be constructed in 2020/2021. 2. Reject all bids. This option would delay the construction start and possibly cause the work to be deferred until 2022. |
|||||
Background and History: | |||||
Additional well resources are needed to provide for growth and system redundancy in order to achieve a reliable and cost-effective balance of water supplies utilizing ground water and surface water supplies sources. Water Services used a sophisticated ground structure probing technique called Controlled Source Audio Frequency Magnetotellurics (CSAMT). This technique provides the City with a visual “picture” of the underground structures beneath promising areas that indicate whether or not the rock porosity is generous enough to allow adequate flow into the fault structures where water is most apt to be withdrawn. Because of the challenging drilling conditions in the Flagstaff area, a special type of drilling technique called the Dual-Rotary method was chosen for the development of this well. This drilling technique advances well casing along with the drill bit during drilling of the borehole, which mitigates issues many previously used methods have had in maintaining the circulation of drilling fluids during the drilling process. This is important because it provides a larger margin of safety in not losing the well hole to collapse prior to the installation of the well casing. The Dual Rotary method was successfully used in drilling the last three City wells at Fort Tuthill Well site #1, Sinagua Well, and McAllister Well in 2008. ATC Group Services were hired to design the well and develop the scope of services and drilling specifications. This information defines project protocols and guides the drilling contractor through the challenging drilling conditions found in the Flagstaff area. ATC Group Services will see the project through to ensure that the proper protocols are followed and the final well meets the City's specifications. Well development services include: drilling the well to 2,500 feet, verifying well alignment and deviation during the drilling process, installing well casing, screen and gravel pack, performing restoration activities to the disturbed area to pre-drilling conditions (grading, reseeding). Purchasing staff published an Invitation for Bids (IFB) solicitation for Well Drilling Project in the Arizona Daily Sun on August 30th and September 6th, 2020, and posted the solicitation to the City of Flagstaff’s PlanetBids Website on August 25th, 2020. On September 16th, 2020, the City received three Bids from Well Drilling contractors. Upon a review from Water Services and the Procurement team, Boart Longyear Company was determined to be the lowest responsive bidder of the three bids received in this bidding process. The following are the dollar amounts of the bids received for IFB #2021-19 Well Drilling Project:

Executive Summary: | |||||
Approval of the Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") for the Flagstaff Water Education Program Between the Arizona Board of Regents for and on behalf of the University of Arizona and the City of Flagstaff will formalize the partnership between the parties. Arizona Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) operates under the authority of the University of Arizona. Arizona Project WET provides water education throughout Arizona and has partnered with the City of Flagstaff on the annual Water Festival since 2005. Under this IGA, Arizona Project WET agrees to develop and deliver water-based K-12 educational content for Flagstaff schools, with guidance from the City of Flagstaff Water Conservation Program. This agreement will begin upon full execution and will continue for a 5-year initial term, with the ability to renew for an additional 5-year term. | |||||

|||||
Background and History: | |||||
Arizona Project WET has partnered with the City of Flagstaff Water Conservation Program on the annual Water Festival for 4th graders since 2005. During fiscal years 2017-2020, the two parties also partnered on additional water-based education for several FUSD schools, operating under a sole-source procurement. At the close of the fiscal year 2020, City staff proposed an IGA to formalize these programs under one umbrella, therefore eliminating the annual sole-source justification and scoping efforts. | |||||
Key Considerations: | |||||
This IGA formalizes the partnership that has existed between Arizona Project WET and the City of Flagstaff Water Conservation Program in some capacity since 2005. The execution of this IGA will clarify roles and responsibilities between the two parties and will streamline the annual provisioning of youth water-based education in Flagstaff schools on behalf of the Water Services Water Conservation Program. The annual Water Festival for 4th Grade students has served an average of 840 students a year in the 12 years of the program. The additional programming brings the Project WET curriculum to teachers in Flagstaff who request support in water resources and conservation education. | |||||
Community Benefits and Considerations: | |||||
This IGA specifies that up to $15,000 annually may be paid to Arizona Project WET for water-based educational outreach in Flagstaff area schools. The Water Conservation Program has helped to defray these costs in the past by providing the majority of the supplies for the annual Water Festival, by contributing staff time where appropriate, and by securing annual sponsorships of the Water Festival from local companies such as SCA Tissue and Fratellis Pizza. Additionally, Arizona Project WET received a grant last year through the Arizona Community Foundation that covered most of the additional programming funds to offer the Project WET K-12 teacher support. City staff and Arizona Project WET staff will continue seeking funds each year to offset the total cost. | |||||
Community Involvement: | |||||
We believe that the development and encouragement of a water ethic in the Flagstaff community is essential to achieving our water conservation goals, which are a critical component of our long term water resource planning. Providing youth education on water conservation serves two purposes: first, it ensures that Flagstaff community members understand the value and importance of water from an early age. Second, students bring home information about water conservation from school back to their families. Outreach that occurs at school also ensures equity, since there are families in our community that do not have the ability to attend events where we would normally provide this type of outreach such as the Festival of Science or the annual Earth Day celebration. | |||||
Expanded Options and Alternatives: | |||||
The annual 4th Grade Water Festival is a wonderful collaboration between City staff, Arizona Project WET, and students from Northern Arizona University (NAU). NAU students and local teaches attend a free 6-hour workshop where they learn the water lessons from Project WET and City staff. This gives the students and teachers experience teaching the Project WET water units to the 4th grade students. The actual day of the event will see from 50 to over 100 volunteers of parents, city staff, and local business representatives. Sponsorship and support have historically come from SCA Tissue and Fratelli Pizza. With the closure of SCA Tissue, City staff will be seeking a new sponsor for the Festival in 2021. | |||||

Background and History: | |||||
The U.S Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), was created in 1984 to provide federal leadership in developing the nation's capacity to prevent and control crime, administer justice, and assist crime victims. The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program allows states, tribes, and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and conditions. JAG blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Programs to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and spend funds where they are most needed. The formula calculates direct allocations for local governments within each state, based on their share of the total violent crime reported to the state. | |||||
Key Considerations: | |||||
The JAG formula program provides agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are needed most. As we are carrying a surplus of FY18 and FY19 JAG monies forward, we are prioritizing FY20 monies on communications equipment, training equipment and DUI education materials. | |||||
Community Benefits and Considerations: | |||||
The Fiscal Year 2020 JAG funds have been requested in the amount of $20,751.00 of which the City will agree to the terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement and pass on the appropriate funds through the County. The County will request a total of $6,225 (includes 3% set aside) to be used to purchase four (4) Very High Frequency (VHF) P25 digital mobile radios and four (4) Ultra High Frequency (UHF) refurbished radios. Both agencies will use 3% of their total amount to be used for the mandatory National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) transition and will be used in conjunction with the OnCall Records software implementation to add NIBRS to the records software management system. A total amount of $617.00 will be used for NIBRS as requested by the JAG grant requirements. |
|||||
Community Involvement: | |||||
Approval of this Grant and Award will allow the Flagstaff Police Department and the Coconino County Sheriff's Office to utilize the Fiscal Year 2020 grant funds to improve communication, training and community outreach, ultimately helping to preserve life, protect property, improve community relations, prevent and control crime, administer justice and assist crime victims. | |||||

Case No. PZ-19-00125 Updates to Zoning Code 2020 - High Occupancy Housing Specific Plan | |||||
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
Hold a work session to allow the City Council and the public to ask questions, seek clarification, have discussions, offer comments, and provide direction on the proposed amendment. | |||||
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: | |||||
The proposed amendment (Attachment 1) is intended to implement the High Occupancy Housing Specific Plan (HOH Plan) that was adopted by the City Council in February 2018. To implement the goals, policies, and implementation strategies of the HOH Plan, multiple changes to the Zoning Code are being proposed. First and foremost, the amendment removes the Rooming and Boarding Land Use and adds the High Occupancy Housing Development (HOHD) and Mixed-Use High Occupancy Housing Development (MHOHD) related land uses to the Zoning Code as conditional uses. The proposed land uses address small-, medium-, and large-scale HOHDs and MHOHDs. In addition to the land uses, the amendment includes provisions related to vehicle and bicycle parking, a transit pass parking reduction program, locational criteria, density and bedrooms per acre allowances, Use Specific criteria, and Conditional Use Permit criteria. The text below in red indicates new information as requested by the Council as well as some additional minor modifications. Specific to this discussion, the Zoning Code Text Amendment has been updated related to the City Council's August 25, 2020, direction pertaining to the definitions of a Single-Family HOHD and Sanitation Facility (Sections IV.A. and B., below). To accommodate the City Council's modifications, a systematic increase to the Two-unit HOHD bedroom count, greater than seven, has been incorporated (Section IV.C.1., below). Also, the number of Sanitation Facilities in a HOHD or MHOHD dwelling unit has been updated, and the Bedroom-to-Sanitation Facility Ratio has been deleted. In addition, the provisions have been updated to address concerns related to the maximum number of bedrooms that the Two- and Three-unit HOHDs are allowed (Section IV.C.2., below). Finally, clarification has been added related to the applicability of the bedroom distribution requirement, Bedroom-to-Dwelling Unit Ratio, intersecting pedestrian sheds of activity centers, Crime Free Multi-Housing Program, HOHD or MHOHD typical floor plan or residential unit study, Waste Management Plan, and transit stop location provisions (Sections IV.C.3. and V., below). |
|||||
INFORMATION: | |||||
Please refer to the discussion in section IV.C.2. of the report.
II. Introduction: In February 2018, the City Council adopted the citywide High Occupancy Housing Specific Plan (HOH Plan). The HOH Plan was developed in response to the community’s dialogue about previously proposed high-intensity mid-rise developments near historic neighborhoods that primarily catered to college students. The HOH Plan is intended to provide direction in the form of goals and policies to accommodate a variety of housing options in areas of the city that can support infill, redevelopment, and mixed-use activities. These goals and policies are intended to enhance and maintain the city’s character and guide future developments that would be considered High Occupancy Housing (HOH). It should be noted that the HOH Plan’s listed implementation strategies about the Zoning Code amendments (Pages 102, 103, 105, and 106 of the HOH Plan) “…may be accomplished through another method...” to achieve “…the goals and policies of the HOH Specific Plan and the Regional Plan” (Page 99 of the HOH Plan). After the adoption of the HOH Plan, staff received direction and affirmation from City Council on October 8, 2019, to address smaller developments that may also be considered as HOH. The smaller HOH developments that staff was directed to consider are single-family, two-unit (duplex), three-unit (triplex), and multiple-family developments that were not addressed in the HOH Plan. III. Overview of Proposed Amendment: To implement the goals, policies, and implementation strategies of the High Occupancy Housing Specific Plan, the proposed amendment (Attachment 1) includes multiple changes to the Zoning Code. New provisions are being added, and several existing regulations are being modified. The most significant of the modifications include the:
The proposed amendment includes: 1. Residential Zones (Section 10-40.30.030):
11. Parking Standards (Division 10-50.80): Added Section 10-50.80.061, Transit Pass Parking Reduction Pilot Program, and related regulations. 12. Number of Motor Vehicle Parking Spaces Required (Section 10-50.80.040): Modified the existing parking requirements for single-family dwellings, added clarifications, and incorporated parking requirements for the HOHD and MHOHD. 13. Bicycle Parking (Section 10-50.80.050): Updated the existing requirements and added requirements for the HOHD and MHOHD, including design requirements. 14. Parking Adjustments (Section 10-50.80.060): Updated the existing requirements to include provisions for HOHDs and MHOHDs. Also, the parking study requirements have been updated to include requirement clarifications and when a request for a parking reduction requires the City Council approval. 15. Parking Standards (Division 10-50.80): Incorporated a provision for a Transit Pass Parking Reduction Pilot Program for HOHDs and MHOHDs. 16. Parking Spaces, Parking Lot Design and Layout (Section 10-50.80.080): Updated the existing requirements to limit the use of tandem parking spaces to single-family attached and detached dwelling units and duplex developments in the Non-Transect Residential Zones. 17. Specific to Building Types (Division 10-50.110): The following sections have been modified to remove the allowance for tandem parking: 10-50.110.080, 10-50.110.090, 10-50.110.100, 10-50.110.110, and 10-50.110.120. 18. Definition of Specialized Terms, Phrases, and Building Functions (Division 10-80.20):
IV. Summary of August 25, 2020, City Council Work Session Direction and Modifications: At the August 25, 2020, City Council Work Session meeting, the City Council requested the staff to revise the definitions of a Single-Family HOHD and Sanitation Facility. In addition, a member of City Council requested the staff to look at the number of bedrooms in a Two- and Three-unit HOHD, and return with revised definitions and revised allowances. Staff’s response to the City Council’s direction and related modifications are described below. A. Single-Family HOHD
The City Council requested the staff to revise the Single-Family HOHD definition to be based on a single-family dwelling containing seven bedrooms or more, or having five or more sanitation facilities. To accommodate the Council’s request, the proposed draft has been updated to include the following definition of a Single-Family HOHD:
a. Seven or more bedrooms; or
b. Five or more sanitation facilities.
B. Sanitation Facility
The City Council requested the staff to revise the existing definition of a Sanitation Facility to be limited to a facility that is a three-quarter bathroom (toilet, sink, and a shower) or greater. To accommodate the City Council request, the proposed modification to the definition includes two parts. The first part defines a Sanitation Facility as a room containing a toilet, sink, and a shower or tub (the “fixtures”). Since there are many configurations of a Sanitation Facility that are intended to function as a three-quarter bathroom or a full bathroom, it is necessary to address when the fixtures are not in the same room but are in close proximity. The second part of the definition incorporates this consideration. The Sanitation Facility definition has been modified as follows:
The proposed definition and the associated figure are included in Section 28 of Attachment 1.
C. Two- and Three-unit HOHDs
To accommodate the City Council’s modification to the definition of a Single-Family HOHD, additional changes are necessary to the proposed amendment to maintain the validity of the associated regulations. The required changes include modifying the number of bedrooms that would be considered a Two-unit HOHD and incorporating a maximum number of bedrooms allowed in a Two- and Three-unit HOHD.
The definition of a Two-unit HOHD has been modified as follows:
a. More than a total of seven bedrooms; or
b. One or more dwelling unit(s) containing four or more sanitation facilities.
• A two-unit HOHD shall have no more than 10 bedrooms, and a three-unit HOHD shall have no more than 12 bedrooms.
In order to maintain consistency with the City Council’s modification to the Single-Family HOHD definition, and to simplify the proposed regulations, the HOHD and MHOHD definitions (Two-, Three-, and Four-units and Greater HOHDs and MHOHDs) have been revised to exclude the Bedroom-to-Sanitation Facility Ratio. In place of the Bedroom-to-Sanitation Facility Ratio, a provision has been incorporated that requires a HOHD or MHOHD Conditional Use Permit if any dwelling unit contains four or more sanitation facilities. To review the associated modifications to the definitions, please refer to Sections 25 and 26 of Attachment 1.
It should be noted that a single-family attached or detached dwelling unit that contains five or more sanitation facilities is required to obtain a Single-Family HOHD Conditional Use Permit. Four or more sanitation facilities is used in the definitions of the Two-, Three-, and Four-units and Greater HOHDs and MHOHDs since these uses typically have fewer bedrooms than a single-family attached or detached dwelling unit. V. Additional Modifications Incorporated: The following modifications have been incorporated:
The proposed standard is:
At the August 26, 2020, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission had general and clarification questions for the staff. The Commission did not have any suggested modifications to the proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment. The Planning and Zoning Commission will be reviewing the above-referenced changes at the September 23, 2020, Planning and Zoning Commission Work Session meeting. Staff will update the City Council with the Planning and Zoning Commission comments at the October 6, 2020, City Council meeting. VII. Findings: At a future City Council meeting, the City Council will be requested to make the required findings specified in the Zoning Code and adopt the proposed amendment. For your reference and discussion purposes, the required findings are specified below.
Public input was received at the public meetings held on August 19, 2019, February 13 and 14, 2020, and through the City’s online Community Forum (https://www.opentownhall.com/portals/227/Issue_7685) (Attachment 2). Also, work sessions with the Planning and Zoning Commission were held on August 14, 2019, and May 27, 2020, and with the City Council on October 8, 2019, and June 11, 2020. In addition, staff received several comments regarding HOH developments from the Southside stakeholders’ group that was formed to assist in the development of the proposed Southside specific plan. These meetings were held over the past year. On August 25, 2020, the City Council held a work session on the proposed amendment. A summary of the public comments received are:
On September 23, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Commission will have a work session meeting to discuss the proposed amendment. Staff will update the City Council with any public comments received at the October 6, 2020, City Council meeting. Persons of interest on file with the Planning and Development Services section of the Community Development department were notified of the Planning and Zoning Commission work sessions via first class mail. Also, notification of the work session was published on the City’s Facebook web page and in the Arizona Daily Sun. IX. Timeline The anticipated timeline for the amendment is as follows:
As indicated above, the purpose of the work session is for staff to present an overview of the proposed amendment to the Zoning Code and allow interested individuals, residents, and business owners to provide commentary. In addition, the work session allows the City Council to ask questions, seek clarification, have discussions, and offer comments on the proposed amendment. No formal recommendation or action by the City Council is to occur at the work session. Additional opportunities for discussion, public comment, and action by the City Council will occur at a future public hearing. |
