3. CAPITAL PROJECTS – status report on capital projects.
CIP Supervisor Gierak provided an update on Gilbert Fire Station #9, Project MF023. Fire
Station #9 is located on a 2.5 acre site on the SE corner of Higley Rd. and Ocotillo Rd. It is
the last piece of the puzzle in terms of public safety fire protection infrastructure for the
Town, and the last fire station planned for build out. CIP Supervisor Gierak said that Fire
Station #9 is a product typical design. It is a one level structure, approximately 12,000 square
feet, with four bays. The total budget was $10 million with a $5.9 million construction
budget. The station has been operational since September, and the project looks to close out
around $8 million, which is $2 million under budget. The project used a delivery method
called CM@R (Construction Manager at Risk), which allowed the Town to pick the
contactor based upon qualifications. This helped to increase the quality of the product and
provided more flexibility in construction. Willmeng Construction was the CM@R, while the
design was provided by HDA Architects. The Town utilized CookAZ for management of the
project and construction. The Fire Department, as always, was instrumental in the process.
They were often onsite and provided comments at every design meeting. CIP Supervisor
Gierak mentioned that CIP worked closely with nearby property owners to address any
privacy issues and that the public was very inviting and happy to have a fire station at this
location. Most of the $2 million in savings came from construction with about $600,000
coming from professional fees. A site plan and photos of the completed station were
provided.
President Ebrahim asked if there was anything else as far as capital that needed to be
discussed. Management and Budget Director Pfost reiterated that the Town was excited to
have the project come in under budget and that we didn’t get more bond funding or borrow
more money than what was actually needed. In the end, we only issued $7.5 million in bonds
and made up the gap with SDF cash.
4. ANNUAL REPORT– approval of the annual financial report

Accounting Supervisor St. George briefly went over the financial report. For comparison
purposes, there were two sets of financial statements provided in the agenda packet, one as
of June 30, 2018 and one as of December 31, 2018. Each set included a Statement of Net
Position and a Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. Essentially,
the Statement of Net Position is the balance sheet for the Corporation. It shows the fund
balance of assets and liabilities and is a good indicator of how the Corporation is doing at a
specific point and time. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position,
which is equivalent to an income statement for the fiscal year, shows the Corporation’s
revenues and expenses. These financial statements allow one to see the data for the
Corporation in total. At the end of each financial statement, there is a report showing the
individual issuances and their activity separate from the corporation as a whole. Accounting
Supervisor St. George asked if there were any questions.
Vice-President Bentz asked about the timing of the lease payments that are made,
particularly those referenced on the December 31 statement. Accounting Supervisor St.
George responded that it is primarily based on when the payments are due. Typically, there
is only interest due for the January 1 bond payment, so it is generally a lot smaller than the
bond payment made in June for July 1st, which includes principal and interest.
Vice-President Bentz asked how lease payments are structured. Management and Budget
Director Pfost answered that the lease payments from the Town to the MPC match the bond
payments.
President Ebrahim asked if there were any further questions. There were none.
A MOTION was made by Director Schmidt seconded by Director Smith to approve annual
financial report as written. Motion carried 5 - 0
