Call to the Public Mayor Irwin called for public comments. Ken Cail offered the following comments, “Mayor Irwin, Town Council Members, Town Staff, and the public. Dogs are pack animals; they learn through interaction. They enjoy other animals and need the opportunity to develop. A dog park can become an educational center for the owners, improving their relationships with their dogs, sharing responsibilities of cleaning up, training their dogs to remain calm, and to provide within the community a common space for the discussion of ideas, a space where the town can demonstrate its character, display art, display history and to promote a pet friendly community. The end result would define our community with all of its benefits as appealing to its constituents, travelers, destination visitors and potential new citizens. Creating a dog park is a common activity for many local communities. They see a benefit in dog parks that reach beyond a place where dogs can relieve themselves. There is good and there is bad in dog parks but, we have a large amount of information from parks that has already been produced. While there are undoubtable benefits to dog parks we can see there’s limits, liabilities and potential problems with dog parks. If we chose to create a park we can use this vast amount of information to make a better dog park, one that is more attractive, usable and effective in meeting the town’s goals. Local trainers can offer introductory lessons for owners, owners can learn and share ideas about their dogs with other owners. I see the development of a dog park as an opportunity for the Town Council to show they are listening to their constituents. This issue was second in the Town Survey in 2023, yet little movement has happened since then. Dog park development can create future leaders in Town Council through valuable developmental experiences, the exchange of ideas and the creation of consensus. I applaud the Council’s attempt to provide more interaction with their constituents through hosting Coffee with Council for meets and greets. It is hard to get involvement from the community but, it is necessary. Listening to the survey results is a big step. It is easier to find fault with irresponsible dog owners by fining them, this has cleaned our parks but has only changed the location where these irresponsible owners leave their messes. Thank you.” Minutes of the Town Council Regular Meeting. January 2, 2025. Page 3 C.

Page 4 AYES NAYS ABSTAIN Mayor Irwin X Council Member Heisler X Council Member Smith X Council Member Phillips X Council Member Fernau X Mayor Irwin then declared the motion passed unanimously D. Business Before the Council D.1 Presentation of the Navajo and Apache Counties Traffic Study Findings. Public Works Director Patterson presented the Traffic Study Findings for Navajo and Apache Lane. To view the presentation, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4PEMeIOVtk&t=344s The presentation starts at Minute 9:30 of the meeting. Annick Desmeules offered the following comments, “My name is Annick Desmeules, I am the one that started the petition for Navajo and Apache Lanes. I am very disappointed, I have to say, in the results of the study because in my estimate, and I can speak for the two ladies that are my neighbors, it is a gross understatement. The fact that people were not speeding that much during the time of the traffic survey may have something to do with the fact that prior to the Study we had a strong police presence that actually caught several people not stopping at the stop sign and other things. There was a radar at some point, and I think whoever was using it as a cut through to get to Safeway or Ace got the message and started slowing down, because in actuality there are a lot more people than shown that speed through that street. I see them every day. The other thing is, the gentleman mentioned that anything less than 500 cars per day, is that for a major avenue? Because for a small residential street like Navajo or Apache it seems like a lot of vehicles, ok? That is a lot of cars in one day. I don’t know exactly how many people live on Apache Lane, I think we are in the neighborhood of 50 or 55 homes. So, 350 vehicles for a short street like that, that’s a lot. So, the fact that you are not going to do anything, you are not recommending that they do anything, I do not think any of the constituents on Apache Lane are going to be happy with that. So, that is my comment for now.” Mayor Irwin stated that she lives in the neighborhood and believes there are 185 parcels in Wonderland Acres and if you were to include the homes in Summer Haven, there would be even more. Minutes of the Town Council Regular Meeting. January 2, 2025. Page 5 Director Patterson said there are over 300 parcels and feels the total number is closer to 348. Director Patterson added that the number of vehicles shown in this Study is right on track for the number of parcels in this area. Mayor Irwin asked Commander Wilkey if there is less tolerance for speeders when the posted speed limit is lower. Commander Wilkey responded that it does go by a percentage and is always at the officer’s discretion. Commander Wilkey added that Arizona Law states, “speeds are reasonable and prudent”. Meaning, officers take that into consideration as far as the area and the posted speed limit. Council Member Phillips asked Director Patterson if the equipment that was used for the study is owned by the Town. Director Patterson stated that United Civil was contracted to do the Study. Council Member Phillips asked what the cost was for the Study. Director Patterson said the cost of the Study was $7,000. Director Patterson explained that the reason a traffic study is so costly is because every piece of data is reviewed. Once you perform a Study on a road/street, if a safety issue is missed, the Town would be liable. This is why every little piece of data is reviewed which reflects in the cost of the Study. Larry McCormick offered the following comments, “I was just going to ask Matt if there was any consideration for future projects that may affect the numbers. Namely, there is a subdivision that was, I believe, approved by Council on Woodland and then wasn’t there a condominium that was approved? I haven’t been through that area in quite some time.” Mayor Irwin said that the condos at the end of Navajo Lane were approved approximately 20 years ago. Larry McCormick continued, “Yeah, but my question is, especially the subdivision. I don’t remember how many homes and how densely populated that open field was. Was that Mountain View and Woodland Lake between the two roads? You know it is going to take about, probably, once it is completed and populated, a week or two to figure out a cut-through to the Safeway and it will be right through your neighborhood.” Mayor Irwin responded that she was unclear of what Mr. McCormick was referencing. Minutes of the Town Council Regular Meeting. January 2, 2025. Page 6 Council Member Heisler said he believed Mr. McCormick was referencing the subdivision that is in Navajo County, on the opposite side of Woodland Rd. Larry McCormick added, “It came before Council. It was a couple, actually, I knew the lady, she ran a group home in Scottsdale.” Mayor Irwin stated that she believes Councilor Heisler is correct. The property Mr. McCormick is referencing is in Navajo County. Meaning, the Town does not have any control over that property. Larry McCormick interrupted, “I understand you don’t. That, again, is my point. Let’s say there are a couple hundred homes that go in however many acres there. You got 400 cars that may cut through Navajo or Apache. That may affect the numbers that Matt has presented.” Community Development Director Loyd shared that the Dakova’s submitted the application for the project Mr. McCormick is referencing. Director Loyd said he does not believe that project will be moving forward. Director Loyd said in the event it does move forward, there were approximately 30 manufactured homes proposed. The development would be within 300 feet of the Woodland Road and Highway 260 intersection, adding that it would actually be much faster for people to exit via the 260 rather than cutting through Navajo or Apache Lanes. Director Patterson said whenever a new subdivision comes to Town, the traffic is looked at. Modeling is done and reviewed by Director Loyd and himself. This is done at the point that a subdivision is built, not before. D.2 Interviews and Consideration of Resolution No.’s 25-1762 and 25-1763, for the purpose of Appointing up to Two (2) Candidates to Fill Vacant Seats on the Pinetop-Lakeside Planning and Zoning Commission With Terms Ending July 23, 2026.

Director Loyd also explained that term dates had gotten off track in the past, unsure of when this occurred, but, by having the term dates ending July 23, 2026, for the two appointed Commissioners, it will bring us back to compliance with the terms defined in our Town Code.
