GRAFFITI PROGRAM UPDATE

Staff: Naimark, Miller
(Presentation 10 min.)

This report provides the Mayor and City Council with an update on the status of graffiti removal efforts in Phoenix and the new volunteer program, “Blight Busters”.

This item is for information only. No City Council action is required.

Backup included in Council packet/City Clerk's Office.

Action Taken:

Deputy City Manager Rick Naimark introduced Neighborhood Services (NSD) Director Jerome Miller and Deputy Director Tim Boling to discuss the graffiti program and ways staff has responded to budget challenges.

Mr. Miller thanked the City’s partners on the graffiti and Blight Busters programs. He noted there were increases last year in the amount of training given to volunteers for graffiti removal, the amount of restitution received through the court system from convicted graffiti vandals, and the use of graffiti flash cameras throughout the city.

Mr. Boling described staff innovations to combating graffiti, including paint sprayer training for residents and paint color matching. He indicated 127 residents received training last year, with this year’s number likely to exceed that. He also noted increased sweeps of major thoroughfares to identify and eliminate graffiti vandalism. Mr. Boling then discussed the Blight Busters program, which graduated 22 residents in July trained to remove graffiti, illegal signage, shopping carts, and other sources of blight. He stated volunteers have already contributed over 200 hours of service.

Mr. Miller explained staff shortages have resulted in slower response times to graffiti calls. He added the department has adequate supplies for graffiti removal and encouraged residents to contact the department if they would like to volunteer. Mr. Miller also noted staff continues to research other potential solutions to graffiti, such as citations to property owners and increased fees for the purchase of certain types of paint and markers.

Councilman Mattox asked about the results of the City ordinance requiring that spray paint cans be locked up and kept out of reach of minors.

Mr. Miller explained that, due to budget cuts, staff is only able to respond to complaints about violations, rather than conducting proactive inspections. He stated staff was working on a mailing to educate vendors about the ordinance.

Councilman Mattox added part of the issue had to do with surrounding municipalities not adopting similar ordinances.

Mr. Miller noted a similar bill in the state legislature this year did not pass, but that Government Relations staff would continue to work with neighboring municipalities on the issue. He also thanked the Council and volunteers for their assistance finding creative ways to respond to graffiti and blight issues during challenging economic times.

Councilwoman Williams asked how residents can contact Neighborhood Services if they are interested in volunteering.

Mr. Naimark stated residents can call #GONE from their cell phones or 602-495-0323.

Councilman Mattox noted his office has already received calls from residents encouraging the City not to cut graffiti or Blight Busters programs during the next budget cycle.

City Manager Frank Fairbanks stated resident suggestions are taken into account during budget development. He added no cuts would be made without public input through budget hearings.

Mr. Mattox thanked residents for volunteering, noting there is always additional need.

Mr. Miller stated NSD has been contacted about the city’s graffiti and Blight Busters programs by other cities nationwide, underscoring the programs’ success.

ESTIMATED

4. 3:10 P.M.-

STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Staff: Fairbanks, Peters
(Presentation 10 min.)

This report provides an update for the Mayor and Council regarding State legislation of interest to the City.

This item is for information only. No Council action is required.

Backup included in Council packet/City Clerk's Office.

Action Taken:

Government Relations Director Karen Peters provided a report on the end of the state legislative session, noting adopted bills from the first special session take effect September 30, 2009. She explained a third special session was called to address the state budget, with nine bills being transmitted to Governor Jan Brewer for approval. Ms. Peters indicated the Governor first signed House Bill 2014, and then signed the remaining bills, using the line item veto to make changes. Ms. Peters discussed the impact of the bills on the City of Phoenix, including the maintenance of the vehicle license tax, changes to the commercial property tax ratio, and the reinstatement of the state equalization property tax. She noted the state still faces a $1 billion shortfall for the current fiscal year.

Councilman Mattox noted the legislature also worked on non-budget legislation during the special session, which they were not supposed to do.

Ms. Peters explained the Governor has the power to define the purpose of a special session and can set rules to limit the session if needed.

Ms. Peters then discussed other aspects of signed legislation, including changes to the impact fee program, new background check and identification requirements to receive public services, and a two-year freeze on new or modified building codes for buildings approved prior to June 1, 2009. She stated these changes would become effective on November 24, 2009. She added Government Relations staff is working with departments to help prepare them for any changes needed to address the new laws.

Government Relations staff member John Wayne Gonzales described a new two-year freeze on impact fees.

Councilman Mattox clarified that the freeze was not based on calendar months but rather on each individual development.

Mr. Gonzales noted the freeze also requires local governments to conduct additional studies as part of their impact fee assessments.

Ms. Peters discussed the requirement for residents to present valid identification when applying for government services. She indicated public employees could be charged with a misdemeanor if they knowingly allow someone without proper identification to apply for government services.

Councilman Mattox asked what sort of evidence was required for someone to accuse an individual of violating this law.

Ms. Peters responded anyone is permitted to bring forward a lawsuit, though a judge would rule whether or not sufficient evidence was presented for the lawsuit to proceed.

Councilman Mattox asked City Manager Frank Fairbanks to discuss where funding comes from to support the Law Department.

Mr. Fairbanks explained the Law Department was funded by the General Fund and, like other departments, has experienced significant budget reductions.

Councilman Mattox called for a recess, with the meeting to reconvene at 3:30 p.m.

This item is for information only. No City Council action is required.

Backup included in Council packet/City Clerk’s Office.

Action Taken:

Mayor Gordon called the meeting to order at 3:26 p.m.

Deputy City Manager Ed Zuercher provided an update on stimulus projects and funding in Phoenix. He explained the difference between formula and discretionary funding and indicated the city has received approximately $240 million for stimulus projects to date, as well as $24 million in low interest loans. Mr. Zuercher discussed some uses of the awarded funds, including projects related to public safety, aviation, homelessness, housing, meals for seniors, infrastructure, and sustainability. He then showed a video that highlighted stimulus-funded projects.

Government Relations Director Karen Peters explained the City continues to identify and apply for competitive grant funding. She also discussed stimulus transparency and accountability at both the federal and local level. She indicated residents can view information on stimulus projects in Phoenix at the city’s website.

5b. This report provides the Mayor and City Council with an update on the Transportation Investment Generating Economy Recovery (TIGER) Grant Application for the PHX Sky Train Line Extension project at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

This item is for information only. No City Council action is required.

Backup included in Council packet/City Clerk’s Office.

Action Taken:

Aviation Director Danny Murphy stated construction has begun on the first stage of the Sky Train, which will connect METRO light rail at 44^th Street and Washington with Terminal 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. He added the City is applying for an additional stimulus grant to fund the $122 million extension of the Sky Train to the remaining terminals.

Assistant Aviation Director Jane Morris provided an overview of the Sky Train alignment, indicating a scheduled completion date of December 2012. She stated the project would create 6,000 jobs and produce an economic output of $730 million.

Mayor Gordon noted the number of jobs created by the project is equal to approximately half of the City of Phoenix’s workforce.

Aviation Special Projects Administrator Jay DeWitt discussed the potential extension of the Sky Train to Terminals 2 and 3. He indicated construction could be accelerated nearly eight years if the city is awarded additional stimulus funding. He also noted the extension would create an additional 1,954 jobs and more than $250 million in economic output. Mr. DeWitt added the project has received a wide array of support, including letters from Senators John McCain and Arlen Specter, U.S. Representative Ed Pastor, and five mayors.

Mayor Gordon thanked staff for their work. He also thanked representatives from Pennsylvania, including Governor Ed Rendell, for their support on the project. He noted both Pennsylvania and Arizona would benefit from the project and have forged a unique partnership.

PHOENIX WOMEN'S COMMISSION 2008-09 ANNUAL REPORT AND 2009-10 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
GENERAL INFORMATION
TO:	Ruth Osuna Deputy City Manager	PACKET DATE:	September 17, 2009
FROM:	Lionel D. Lyons, Director Equal Opportunity Department
SUBJECT:	PHOENIX WOMEN'S COMMISSION 2008-09 ANNUAL REPORT AND 2009-10 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

This report informs the Mayor and City Council of the 2008-09 accomplishments of the Phoenix Women’s Commission and the goals and objectives for the 2009-10 year.

THE ISSUE

The Phoenix Women’s Commission (PWC) was created in 1975 to define the concerns of Phoenix women and explore resolutions to these concerns. The Commission is comprised of 18 citizens appointed by the Mayor and City Council to provide advocacy and consultation on economic, political, and social issues faced by women.

Over the past 34 years, the Phoenix Women’s Commission has taken an active role in dealing with the special challenges that women face and enhancing the quality of life for women and girls in the community. Many talented men and women have donated countless volunteer hours, serving as a voice for thousands of women in the community. Their gifts of leadership, expertise, and support have allowed the Commission to achieve significant accomplishments.

OTHER INFORMATION

The achievements of the Commission in 2008-09 are:

· Women’s Economic Forum – October 29, 2008

The Commission sponsored the Women’s Economic Forum, “Women Talk: Money and More!” on October 29, 2008. The forum, held at Phoenix College, provided an opportunity for more than 100 attendees to learn about personal economic growth, heighten their awareness of economic issues affecting women, and increase their financial literacy. Five speakers conducted presentations on these topics:

Gail Andrews and Rebecca Kennell, Co-founders, Creative Financial Design

Jeri Williams, Assistant Police Chief, Phoenix Police Department

Daniel Herbst, Dean of Student Services, Phoenix College

Smita Muliyil, Registered Dietitian, Maricopa Integrated Health System

● International Women’s Day – March 2009

To maximize scholarship availability to women during the current economic downturn, the Phoenix Women’s Commission and the International Women's Day (IWD) Steering Committee made the difficult decision to cancel the 2009 luncheon to reduce costs and allocate all funds raised directly to scholarships. Despite this major change, the IWD Steering Committee and the Commission raised $68, 575 for the International Women’s Day Scholarship Program. Of that amount, $60,000 was distributed to local schools for scholarships to benefit women re-entering the educational system or beginning an educational endeavor.

The annual event has raised more than $885,000 since 1995 to benefit the International Women’s Day Scholarship Fund. International Women’s Day was established as a worldwide day of recognition of the historic struggle of women to improve their lives and to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women.

2009-10 Phoenix Women's Commission Goals

The Commission’s goals for the 2009-10 fiscal year are:

●	Partner with local organizations, including Phoenix College, Sojourner Center, and Equal Opportunity Department, to sponsor the Women’s Economic Forum on October 28, 2009 at Phoenix College’s John Paul Theater
●	Host the 2010 International Women's Day Celebration in March 2010
●	Provide women with opportunities to access education through International Women’s Day academic scholarships
●	Increase outreach to organizations and programs serving women
●	Partner with community groups to address domestic violence, including providing women with information on domestic violence and their options to find safety
●	Support leadership programs for women and girls within the Phoenix area
