 Procedure for Addressing the City Council


The Maricopa City Council values citizen comments and input. If you wish to speak on a matter
concerning Maricopa city government that is on the agenda, please fill out a speaker card and give it to
the City Clerk before the meeting starts. The Mayor will call your name when that portion of the agenda
is reached.

The Call to the Public portion on the agenda provides citizens an opportunity to identify for the City
Council matters of interest or concern related to city government that are not on the printed agenda.
Under the provisions of the Arizona Open Meeting Law, the City Council is prohibited from responding
to issues that have not been properly noticed. Therefore, the City Council may only listen to citizens
who wish to address them on non-agenda items. We regret that the City Council cannot respond
beyond thanking you for your comments. City staff will follow-up on your questions via telephone or
email, whichever is preferred. A speaker card is not required for this portion of the meeting but it is
appreciated.

Whenever any group of persons wishes to address the City Council on the same subject matter, it
shall be proper for the Mayor to request that a spokesperson be chosen.

The City asks that, when your name is called, you come forward to the podium, state your name and
then begin speaking. All speakers are expected to observe common standards of decorum and
courtesy. Personal attacks, political speeches, or threats of political action are inappropriate in this
forum and will be grounds, at the discretion of the Mayor, for ending a speaker's time at the podium.

In the event that the meeting is disrupted in any way that the City in its sole discretion deems
inappropriate, the City reserves the right to immediately remove the individual(s) from the meeting.
Reasons for removing an individual include but are not limited to making offensive remarks or
statements, disrespectful statements or actions, and any other action deemed appropriate.

All remarks shall be addressed to the City Council as a body and not to staff or the public. No person
other than a member of the City Council, the City Manager or the City Attorney and the person having
the floor, shall be permitted to enter into any discussion without the permission of the Mayor.
Depending on the number of items on the Council agenda and the number of speaker cards submitted,
the Mayor may establish shorter time limits for speakers.

 4. Report from the Mayor

 Councilmember Marsh reported that the planning cycle for the next fiscal year and the
 general plan update was about to start. He detailed the area covered by the general
 plan and stated he had forms available for citizens to provide input. He stated the
 forms should be submitted back at City Hall or the community center by December
 1st.

 Councilmember Manfredi discussed Small Business Saturday and encouraged
 shopping local to keep sale tax dollars in Maricopa.

 Vice Mayor Liermann acknowledged November was Native American Month and
 elaborated on the theme and thanked the Native American population in the city. Next,
 she acknowledged the Marine Corps birthday, and then announced that Wetzel Pretzel
 opened in Maricopa.

 Mayor Smith reported that Channel 5 interviewed her because they were interested in
 an article that a resident sent them regarding the lack of feasibility for State Route
 (SR) 347. She stated they wanted to make sure they interpreted the terminology and
 the Pinal Regional Transportation (PRTA)’s decision correctly. She explained the
 PRTA decided that the culmination of all the projects that were submitted from all
 communities in Pinal County far exceeded the amount of money that half-cent sales
 tax was going to provide over 20 years, so they recommended that the PRT wasn't
 feasible. She emphasized that did not mean that the SR 347 expansion was not
 feasible and stated expansion was feasible and things were happening. She directed
 residents to 347facts.com to understand what projects were up and coming and get the
 most accurate information. Next, she reported attending the Arizona Department of
 Transportation (ADOT) board meeting on Friday and elaborated on bringing up the
 article in AZ Family on the 10 deadliest intersections in the western United States and
 the fact that two of the ten intersections listed were on SR 347. Next, she reported
 meeting with Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) Governor Lewis and Councilmember
 White to talk about partnering for solutions on SR 347 and elaborated on the possible
 approaches including: physical solutions in terms of construction, billboard solutions,
 the Green Road Loop and so on. She stated she had two more upcoming meetings
 regarding SR 347 and noted that usually she and Intergovernmental Affairs Director,
 Katy Proctor asked for meetings however this time one state legislator reached out for
 a meeting. She emphasized that it meant they were taking notice of the letters to 94
 elected officials sent through 347facts.com. She encouraged residents who have not
 done so to the website and added over 800 letters have been sent. She reported
 attending the Rural Transportation Summit with a focus on funding and added she
 continued to challenge legislators to find a solution for transportation funding because
 Arizona was one of 14 states that have not found a solution to filling the gaps in
 funding. She reported attending the Women’s Hope Center programming that walks
 through the life of a youth handling domestic violence and stated it was very dramatic
 and recommended it. She reported attending the Seeds of Change Gala and
 commented on domestic violence awareness. Next, she reported attending the high
 school swim team meet and commended the youth program. She reported on the
 Veteran’s Day Parade, noted there were over 200 entries, and the lunch afterwards.
 She thanked Apex and the Dwarf Car Museum for providing cars for her and a
 councilmember. She announced that a new church opened with a phenomenal youth
 program. She reported taking her 3-year-old granddaughter to the Be Awesome Fairy
 Tea Party and then gave information on the Good Ark Animal Sanctuary down Papago

 Road. She encouraged the community to check it out and noted there were
 volunteering opportunities. Lastly, she concluded by reporting on the Jump for
 Wellness ribbon cutting ceremony.


 5. Report from the City Manager

 City Manager Ben Bitter discussed a study of the impact of tax leakage when residents
 shop outside of Maricopa. He stated Maricopa residents spent approximately $1.3
 billion outside of the community and noted it was a substantial loss of sales tax dollars
 and economic activity. He stated opportunities were being looked at to seek new
 retailers to come in or help existing retailers expand. He elaborated on subcategories
 from the report for example the sales tax leak of about $280 million a year in motor
 vehicle sales, $27 million in miscellaneous stores or retail, $121 million in food service,
 and $89,000,000 in grocery stores. Next, he provided an update on the construction
 project going on now on the Smith-Enke intersection. He stated the City’s website has
 been kept as updated as possible, and even when searching in Google the first result
 was the website that provides an update to citizens on the progress. He stated
 numerous videos were produced and posted on social media and those would keep
 going. He provided an update on the progress on the utility work, and noted the
 sidewalks started getting poured this morning, and the curb and gutter were in. He
 stated paving would be following Thanksgiving and new traffic signals would go up, and
 then construction would switch over to the west side of the intersection. He the project
 was expected to wrap up in spring and hoped the community could get through the
 intersection faster and more efficiently.


 6. Call to the Public

 Barry McCain stated he came before Council standing firmly on his First Amendment
 right to free speech. He stated in his own experiences, a cabal on the City Council
 appeared determined to undermine despite the protection laid out by Reed versus town
 of Gilbert, 2015 whereas the US Supreme Court struck down content-based
 restrictions on speech. He cited Acosta versus City of Costa Mesa, 2013 where the
 ninth circuit ruled that silencing dissenting voices at a public meeting was
 unconstitutional. He stated the Council seemed to employ roundabout methods to
 accomplish precisely that and elaborated. He stated the citizens of Maricopa deserved
 leaders that respect free speech, welcomed scrutiny, and understand that criticism
 was not a threat, but a necessary tool for better governance. He discussed previous
 county officials and spoke against repeated intended disrespect, cronyism, and
 nepotism which ultimately lead to bribery and human suffrage. He stated he humbly
 and respectfully asked Mayor Smith to resign.

 Susan Bonsante addressed Councilmember Marsh about his form for input on the
 General Plan. She asked if there was going to be a formal citizens committee. She
 expressed concerns that the General Plan was something that the citizens voted on
 and yet very few people in the community were aware of it. Mayor Smith clarified that
 since the item was no agendized they could not discuss it, but directed her to contact
 Planning and Zoning Manager Rick Williams. Mr. Williams gave her his business card.
 S. Bonsante noted she had previously emailed but did not get a response, but would
 reach out to Mr. Williams.

 Maricopa Police Department’s (MPD) Community Support Specialist, Jim DeVenezia
 gave information on what the (MPD) was doing for the holiday season. He commended
 the work the police department does to keep the city safe, and added there was also a
 softer side to MPD. He gave information on the Shop With a Cop event taking place on

City of Maricopa Page 3
City Council Regular Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024

 December 7th. He stated the program included 25 underprivileged kids whose families
 could not provide the Christmas they hoped for so they went through the vetting
 process and were selected. He stated the day would start at the LDS church followed
 by breakfast and then a police escort to Walmart where they would get to shop with a
 cop. He added this past week two residents contacted him to donate money to the
 program and he received a total of $1,500. Next, he gave information on the Angel
 Tree. He stated there was an Angel Tree in the MPD’s lobby from Against Abuse
 shelter, who provide services for victims and survivors of domestic violence, and this
 year there were 30 angels instead of 20. He added that Maricopa Fire Chief, Pitassi
 also agreed to have 20 more angels at the Fire Department administration building.

 8. Regular Agenda and/or Public Hearings

 7.7 ORD 24-12 An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of the City of Maricopa, Arizona, adopting
 the document filed with the City Clerk and entitled "2024 Amendments to Title: 18
 Zoning" by reference to amend Sections 18.80.030, 18.140.040, and 18.120.290 of the
 Maricopa City Code and providing for severability and the effective date thereof.
 Discussion and Action.

 Councilmember Goettl recognized staff for trying to reduce some of the restrictions.
 He explained the proposed amendment to Title 18 on zoning had to do with backyard
 fowl, mainly chickens. He expressed concerns that Agenda Item 7.6 which just
 passed, authorized a plot size of 35 feet by 85 feet and this proposal on 7.7 would hold
 a 20-foot setback to any property sizes. He explained that basically effectively
 eliminated the ability for some homeowners in the city, with backyards that were too
 small, to have any type of fowl. He proposed striking the section that reads, “3. Fowl

City of Maricopa Page 5
City Council Regular Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024

 shall be kept in an enclosure located in the rear or side yard of the property at least
 twenty feet from a neighboring property and restrict the size of the enclosure to a
 maximum of two hundred square feet with a maximum height of eight feet.” He
 proposed striking that section and allowing the current setback of 10 feet minimum
 that would allow wiggle room for some of those smaller lots that were just approved.

 Mayor Smith asked if he had any recommendations for the height. Councilmember
 Goettl responded he had no concerns with the height.

 Planning and Zoning Manager, Rick Williams explained that the setbacks were taken
 word for word from recently passed Arizona Revised Statues (ARS). He suggested
 changing the 20 foot setback requirement back 10 feet if approved by City Attorney
 Denis Fitzgibbons and City Manager Bitter.

 Mayor Smith asked if the amendments would meet the requirements in the new bill.
 Mr. Williams explained there was latitude. City Manager explained that the new ARS
 was intended to find ways to make backyard fowl more accessible. He elaborated on
 the intent of the statute and suggested having a hybrid version.

 City Attorney Fitzgibbons recommended just changing the 20-feet to 10-feet if that
 worked. Councilmember Goettl concurred his only point of contention was the 20-foot
 limit. Vice Mayor Liermann agreed that it should be the least restrictive to the
 community members and supported the 20-foot limit. Consensus was to make the
 amendment to strike the 20-foot limit to 10-feet on Section D.3.

 A motion was made by Councilmember Goettl, seconded by Vice Mayor
 Liermann, that this Ordinance be Approved as Amended. The motion carried
 by a unanimous vote.

 8.1 APP 24-07 The Mayor and City Council shall discuss and possibly take action on appointing one
 citizen to fill a vacancy on the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System Board.
 Discussion and Action.

 Mayor Smith recommended Jim Hart to the PSPRS Board.

 A motion was made by Mayor Smith, seconded by Councilmember Wade, that
 the recommended member be Appointed to the PSPRS Board. The motion
 carried by a unanimous vote.

 8.2 RES 24-40 PUBLIC HEARING: A Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of
 Maricopa, Arizona, approving and adopting a Minor General Plan Land Use
 Amendment to change the land use from existing Employment (E) and Mixed-Use
 (MU) to Public/Institutional (P) for approximately 4.89 acres of land known as Assessor
 Parcel No. 510-12-014G and generally located at the southeast corner of W. Bowlin
 Rd. and N. Greythorn Dr., within the City of Maricopa incorporated limits, as described
