George Anagnost, Presiding Municipal Judge, discussed the outcomes of a review
of the Home Detention Program conducted in 2016. Information included:
Program assessed after approximately three full years of experience
Approximately 120 in the program with a 90 percent completion rate
Majority of defendants not Peoria residents
Jail cost savings of approximately $75,000
Overall determination – Home Detention meets the goals of enforcement of State
statute and local community interests
Judge Anagnost outlined the following recommended changes to the Home
Detention Alternative Program:
Remove mandatory doubling of home detention days to allow a more accurate fit
to individual case facts and still be able to impose extended number of days
Clarify that eligibility for home detention begins after mandatory imprisonment is
completed
Provide consistent wording regarding the computation for a partial day of
imprisonment
In response to questions from Council, Judge Anagnost clarified the following:
The statutory number of days for imprisonment would be 20 percent of the
sentence imposed if the mandatory doubling of home detention days is removed
Offenders are responsible for all costs associated with the electronic-monitoring
program
Participation in an alcohol or drug treatment program is determined on a case-by-
case basis and is an option available when warranted
Types of offenses in addition to driving under the influence (DUI) that qualify for
home detention
o Assault or domestic violence offenses
o Other alcohol-related offenses
o Criminal speeding
o Shoplifting
Consequences for violating the terms and conditions of the Home Detention
Alternative Program
No hard data on recidivism
Mr. Burg further explained that the prosecutor would strongly recommend incarceration
instead of home detention to the sentencing judge when violent behavior is a factor.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date Prepared: 10/18/2016 Council Meeting Date: 11/1/2016
TO: Carl Swenson, City Manager
THROUGH: Jeff Tyne, Deputy City Manager
FROM: Stuart Kent, Public Works – Utilities Director
SUBJECT: Budget Adjustment, City Hall Campus Security Enhancements and Peoria
Municipal Operations Center Fuel Island Project
Purpose:
This is a request for City Council to approve a budget adjustment of $126,560 for the purpose of
enhancing and upgrading security features on the main City Hall campus area, and additional
funding needed for the completion of the MOC Fuel Island project.
Background/Summary:
Peoria has prided itself on providing an open, transparent, and accessible City Hall campus
which is convenient for its constituents to come and conduct business. While there have not
been any threats of workplace violence in Peoria, recent national events of workplace violence
have resulted in the Public Works-Utilities and Police Departments jointly taking a thoughtful and
proactive approach in assessing the City Hall campus buildings. The first phase of security
enhancements require a budget adjustment of $111,560 and include improved exterior lighting to
the buildings and the nearby garages, installation of additional cameras, the installation of a
metal detector at the City Council Chambers and alterations to the existing landscaping around
City Hall. Subsequent security enhancements may occur in other city buildings and will be
requested through the normal annual budget process.
The second part of the requested budget adjustments relates to the recently completed
replacement of the fuel tanks at the Peoria Municipal Operations Center (MOC). During the
course of the MOC Fuel Island project a small amount of motor oil was identified in the soil
around the tanks and had to be excavated, tested and removed. The oil came from a previously
unknown motor oil line that was abandoned many years ago. This excavation and remediation
was not part of the original CIP project funding and thus has caused the total cost of the project
to exceed budget by $15,000. A request for a budget adjustment of $15,000 is being asked for in
order to close out the MOC Fuel Island project.
Previous Actions:
On March 15, 2016, Council previously approved a budget adjustment to the fuel island project in
the amount of $40,000.
Options:
A : That the Mayor and Council approve a budget adjustment of $126,560 from General Fund
Contingency. To enhance and upgrade security features on the main City Hall Campus and
complete the funding needed for the MOC Fuel Island project.
B: The Mayor and Council could disapprove the budget adjustment of $126,560 from General
Fund Contingency. The result would be not enhancing and upgrading security features on the
main City Hall Campus and not providing the needed funding for the MOC Fuel Island project.
Staff Recommendation:
Discussion and possible action to approve a budget adjustment in the amount of $126,560 from
the General Fund Contingency account to various accounts for City Hall campus security
enhancements and the completion of the Peoria Municipal Operations Center Fuel Island project.
Fiscal Analysis:
Request a budget adjustment in the amount of $126,560 from the General Fund Contingency
account (1000-0300-570000) to the following accounts:
1000-0310-541003-CIPOF-NA-PW00506 $111,560 - Citywide Security
1000-0310-541003-CIPOF-NA-PW00305 $6,600 - MOC Fuel Island

TO: Carl Swenson, City Manager
THROUGH: Susan J. Daluddung, AICP, Deputy City Manager
FROM: Andrew Granger, P.E., Development and Engineering Director
SUBJECT: Deeds and Easements, Various Locations
Purpose:
This is a request for City Council to adopt a Resolution accepting Deeds and Easements for
various Real Property interests acquired by the City. The deeds and easements have been
recorded by the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office and this process will formally accept them
into the system.
Background/Summary:
The City of Peoria periodically acquires a number of property interests including deeds, roadway
dedications and various types of easements. All documents are reviewed for accuracy and
recorded. A Resolution to accept these documents has been prepared, which lists each
document by recording number and provides information related to each so the property interest
to be accepted can be identified.
Previous Actions:
This is an ongoing process which occurs when we have acquired a number of real property
interests.
Options:
A: Approve the adoption of the Resolution accepting Deeds and Easements into our system.
B: Deny adoption of the Resolution that formally accepts the Deeds and Easements into our
system, resulting in the City not having an official record of what has been transferred to the City
through recordation in the Maricopa County Recorder’s office.
Staff Recommendation:
Discussion and possible action to adopt RES. 2016-121 accepting Deeds and Easements for
various Real Property interests acquired by the City.
Fiscal Analysis:
There is no fiscal impact to the City.
Narrative:
This Resolution includes Real Property interests acquired since the adoption of the previous
acceptance resolution. The acceptance of the Resolution by City Council would bring the deeds
and easements into our system and is the final step in the process.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date Prepared: 10/12/2016 Council Meeting Date: 11/1/2016
TO: Carl Swenson, City Manager
THROUGH: Susan J. Daluddung, AICP, Deputy City Manager
FROM: Chris M. Jacques, AICP, Planning and Community Development Director
SUBJECT: General Plan Update Preview
Purpose:
Staff will provide the City Council with an overview of the impending solicitation and development
of the new Peoria General Plan.
Background/Summary:
Every city and county within Arizona is required to adopt a comprehensive, long-range planning
document called a General Plan. The role of the General Plan is to guide the physical
development and entitlement of the community and serve as the “blueprint” for future decisions
regarding land use and resource conservation. The Peoria General Plan currently includes
fourteen elements affecting many facets of the development of the City, including land use,
transportation, economic development, water resources, housing, growth areas, environmental
stewardship and others.
As part of the 1998 Growing Smarter legislation and its amendments, local governments are
required to ensure that their General Plans are maintained and kept current within a set
timeframe. Consequently, every ten (10) years, a city’s General Plan is required to be ratified by
the voters.
The first post Growing Smarter Peoria General Plan was ratified by voters in 2001 and was
largely a reflection of the planning completed in the late 1990's. The last substantive update to
the Peoria General Plan occurred in 2009 and was ratified by the voters in 2010. At that time,
the Plan was moderately refreshed to comply with revised statutory requirements and to further
refine the City Council policies and goals. Since then, Peoria has experienced an evolving
economic landscape, along with meaningful growth and physical development. Additionally,
advancements in technologies, and efforts in the areas of sustainability, diversification of
workforce, and quality of life are now topics at the forefront of the conversation which impact
land use decisions. The City believes now is the time to develop a new General Plan that is
visionary and responsive to the next twenty (20) planning horizon and through to buildout.
Moreover, given changes in technology, many in the community access or participate in
government in broader ways. It will be important to develop a communication and outreach
platform that facilitates broad and varying community input. The overall goal is to ensure that
there is strong community support for the new plan and approval is secured by the voters in late
2018.
The solicitation seeking qualified consultant services has been issued. We anticipate bringing a
consultant contract award to the City Council before the end of this calendar year. At this study
session, staff will provide the City Council with an early preview of the effort and seek input on
priorities or issue points as we move into the selection process.
Staff Recommendation:
Discussion regarding impending solicitation and development of the new Peoria General Plan.
Fiscal Analysis:
Funding for the preparation of the new Peoria General Plan was identified and approved as part
of the adopted FY17 Budget.

SUBJECT: ICMA Center for Performance Analytics Certificate of Excellence
Background/Summary:
The City of Peoria has been awarded ICMA’s Certificate of Excellence for its efforts in
performance management “for exceeding the standards established by the International
City/County Management Association in the identification and public reporting of key outcome
measures, surveying of both residents and employees, and the pervasiveness of performance
management in the organization’s culture.”
The ICMA Center for Performance Analytics (ICMA CPA) awards certificates each year
to recognize local government performance management programs, encourage comparative
analysis, and reward transparency. This Excellence award level is presented to only a select
number of organizations each year. This is the seventh consecutive year that Peoria has
attained the highest award level given by the ICMA CPA, and Peoria is one of just 34
organizations across the country to have achieved this level of recognition. This award
recognizes our city’s progressive management practices, and notes our efforts in using
performance information throughout our organization.
In order to be considered for an ICMA CPA Certificate award, an organization must submit an
application detailing its performance management efforts for the prior fiscal year. The 2016
certificate recipients are recognized on the basis of criteria that include data collection and
verification, training and support, public reporting, accountability and process improvement,
networking, and leadership.
For City of Peoria staff, this award presents a significant achievement. It reflects the
commitment of the City Council and staff to incorporating performance management to further
improve the operations of our city.
