Peoria celebrates the life of long-time councilman

BY ERIC NEWMAN

Peoria Times Staff Writer

Many people who grew up with former Councilman Carlo “Rocky” Leone, as both a colleague and a mentor, reflected on his life and career at a memorial service August 17.

Leone served as Peoria City Council’s representative for the Pine District from 1999 until this past April, when he resigned due to health issues. He ultimately passed away in June.

The memorial service, held at the St. Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic Church, was attended by many of the most important politicians and service members of the city.

Three grandchildren — Michael Loken, Barry Holdaway and Tiffany Hernandez — recalled some of their favorite memories of Leone, who was known to love his family dearly.

He “would do anything for his family,” according to Hernandez, who considered Leone to be more of a father figure than just a grandparent.

“He was the best man I could have ever known in my life,” Hernandez said.

Holdaway told stories of the late councilman coming to his grandkids’ swimming events at Peoria High School dressed in a Speedo swimsuit, eliciting a laugh from many who knew him well.

Loken reminisced about trips to California and Winslow when he was young, but

also remembered how much joy his grandfather took in serving Peoria.

“He was a proud councilman. He was proud to support his city, and he talked about it with great pride whenever I’d see him. I remember how happy he was when he gave me a tour of City Hall and his office,” Loken said.

Those who worked with Leone on the council felt similarly, remembering the hard work he would do to represent his constituents in the Pine District of Peoria.

Leone was known as a runner — he would run the streets of Peoria and always get honked at by cars — as well as a boxer.

Goodyear Councilwoman Wally Campbell said he took a “boxing mindset” on in his SEE COUNCILMAN PAGE 5

A 16-year-old student was arrested at Centennial High School on August 19, after police said he brought a loaded gun onto school grounds.

According to Peoria police, a school resource officer who confiscated the teen’s backpack found in it a 9mm handgun with 11 rounds in the magazine.

But the teen, whose name was not released due to his age, claimed the gun didn’t belong to him.

He didn’t, however, identify an owner.

Police said the student made no threats against the school, and no one was in any danger.

Prior to the gun’s discovery, the teen was appreSEE GUN PAGE 5

Chelsey Davis: Peoria’s cheerleader

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

Davis is a second-generation Arizonan; the daughter of Ralph Davis, a country radio DJ known as Eddie Haskell.

“Growing up, me and my brothers would go in and talk on the mic,” she said. “I think he probably got in trouble for it, but we loved it. We’re a very creative and theatrical family.”

Davis was meant to follow her father’s path and be in the public eye. At Oasis Elementary School, Davis led the morning announcements.

“Every day I would make it like an SNL skit,” Davis said. “I would do really silly things for people’s birthdays, or if it was the Fourth of July we would dress up. I didn’t really focus on that because I was so involved in extracurricular activities like cheer, track and basketball.”

She served as student council presidents at Oasis and Centennial. Davis’ freshman year, she was faced with death. During a March Madness spirit week her freshman year, she broke her neck in a tumbling session.

Peoria Times Executive Editor

Centennial High School graduate Chelsey Davis is Peoria’s favorite daughter and the feeling is mutual.

The ABC 15 Smart Shopper and morning traffic anchor frequently returns to her hometown to promote events and to tell students the sky’s the limit.

“I actually just went back not too long ago because they were recognizing their student council at a banquet,” Davis said. “I got to speak there and encourage the kids to continue leading and to see how far they’ll go with whatever they want to achieve.”

Centennial’s one-time homecoming queen also returned to lead the event’s parade four years after she graduated.

“It was perfect because, at the time, I was working at another station in town (Channel 5) and we brought our chopper over,” Davis said. “We were doing a live feed back at our station. All the viewers felt like they were part of this great, cool and fun event.”

“It was ‘Pirate Day,’” she said. “I’ll never forget because when I was on the stretcher, freshly out of the ambulance, people thought I was in a car accident.

My face wasn’t bruised, though. It was just the heavy black eyeliner that had streamed down my face.”

Davis looked on the bright side. She wore a blinged-out neck brace for three months. Her classmates carried her books, and by her senior year she earned a solo spot in a dance concert.

“I had a fellow student speak a poem I wrote about changing the world and I planned to dance to just the sound of his voice and the words,” she recalled.

“All day at school, I had severe back pains that only got worse. I couldn’t practice for the dance concert. I could barely speak to the student council members who came over to shoot a commercial for the morning announcements. I burst into tears.”

Davis’ parents rushed her to the emergency ward. Eventually, it was found she had a pulmonary embolism or a blood clot in her lung.

“The first three days I was there, I was just a shell or a ghost of myself,” she said. “I remember telling my parents I was going to die. But on the third night, I saw a silhouette of who I believe was Jesus at the end of my bed. Although I initially thought my headline would read, ‘Girl who has the world loses it all,’ I felt as though I was initially faced with a choice.

“I was then assured I had a greater purpose to fulfil. After that, it felt like a miracle. The next day, I could start to walk on my own, talk, eat, yawn, laugh.

I was able to have my parents take me to the dance concert in a wheelchair when I was released from the hospital.

The performance dancers were doing a number to ‘Thriller,’ and I remember being just as pale as the white makeup they had all over their face. I nearly cried watching because I was just so grateful to be there, and for the first time, my cheeks were flushed. Being there and even just watching dancing was bringing me back to life.”

The second semester, she auditioned for the Arizona Cardinals cheerleading squad and made it as an 18-year-old high school senior.

“To not be paralyzed and say, ‘Hey, I can whip my hair in the NFL, that was the coolest thing for me,’” she said.

‘Let’s go Coyotes!’

At the audition for the Cardinals, she gave her name, her nickname, “Chelsey loves you,” and said she was a Centennial senior.

“In true ‘Bring It On’ fashion, I did a high kick and yelled, ‘Let’s go Coyotes!’”

Despite the error, she became a finalist and made the squad. Davis was the youngest cheerleader in the NFL that year.

“I dove into my rookie season, learning everything from putting on a show to public speaking, how to handle appearances, self-defense, hundreds of routines, practices, mandatory workouts and so much more,” she said.

“To represent the organization and don the title of Arizona Cardinals cheerleader, it was required for us to either have a full-time job or be a fulltime student. I describe being an NFL cheerleader as a part-time job, but a full-time commitment. And truly, we were all embracing every single second that went into having the best seats SEE CHEERLEADER PAGE 3

in the house, on the sidelines next to all the action. We practiced outside in the evening hours several times a week, whether it was over 110 or around 50 degrees. I brought the phrase ‘full out or get out’ to the team, and it became our motto. We learned about mental strength as well as physical strength.”

Davis cheered from 2009 to 2014 and served as captain for two of those years. She was part of the show team, performing for troops across the nation and overseas.

“What I loved most about each experience was we had the opportunity to change and impact people’s lives,” Davis said.

“It would dawn on me regularly that I was now wearing the uniform I admired so much when I was younger.

It truly was like wearing a superhero cape. When we put it on and brought the poms out, we were something much greater than ourselves. We represented hope. We got to witness and help create memorable moments for children with illnesses who overcame battles and the parents while their child was in surgery.

We danced with breast cancer survivors and in honor of those who lost the fight.

We were there to help welcome home loved ones and see them reunite after being deployed, and even traveled as far as Japan to put on shows and bring our troops a piece of home. In general, it was always an honor to be part of countless amazing causes.”

During her five seasons with the Cardinals, she launched social media pages for the cheerleaders, edited the music they danced to on the field and helped with events like the Big Red Rib and Music Festival.

“I cherish every moment and memory with the Arizona Cardinals because it shaped who I am today,” she said. “I learned how to be a brand ambassador, representing an organization, how to communicate, how to lead, how to be a role model, impacting lives and making a difference, how to exceed expectations, how to be completely devoted to causes and missions.

“I worked and cheered with extremely intelligent women who are successful engineers, teachers, business owners, social workers and the list goes on.

When you’re constantly surrounded by greatness, you are inspired and empowered to rise and be better than the best.”

Learning to be a journalist Upon graduation, she entered ASU

as an education major, having been inspired by the teachers who educated her. Then halfway through her second semester, it dawned on her that she wanted to follow in her dad’s footsteps.

“I reached out to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and basically said I wanted to transfer,” she said.

“I said, ‘I know it’s late, but I want to get caught up. I want to graduate on time. I know this is what I was meant to do.’ It was a tough transition because we were already mostly done with the first year.”

Just to prove a point, she attended Cronkite classes that she wasn’t enrolled in yet. She submitted assignments so school officials understood she meant business.

“Everything I learned at Cronkite helped prepare me for the real world,” she said.

“Every class, every teacher who was working in the industry and peeling back the curtain for students and every internship added to our toolkits.

We learned every position of production, the writing styles, ethics, the importance of impactful storytelling and

the thrill of a deadline. I helped launch a sports talk show called ‘Sun Devils Sports Night.’”

When she graduated ASU, she worked for CBS. Jason Kadah, a meteorologist, took her under his wing and trained her on the system.

“During a practice round of me presenting the traffic report at the green screen, he did everything he could to throw me off,” she recalled.

“One example: He would throw stacks of papers in front of the camera, and I would laugh during my hit saying, ‘Well, just like those papers, you’ll be flying down the freeways today!’ I loved every second there, that crew became family, and we are still close today.”

Her husband understands her job fully. He’s former TV reporter Brandon Hamilton, who now works in real estate. She called it love at first sight.

“He was working at a different station. When I saw him, I thought he was the most handsome man I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Months later, he reached out to me and was congratulating me on the job. He asked if I ever wanted to grab lunch and talk about this crazy business. The rest is history.”

As of August 19, Peoria contractor ViaSun Corporation is rehabilitating 72nd Drive, from Cactus Road to Sweetwater Avenue. In addition, streets in Crown Point, Candlewood Estates, Chesapeake Park, Catalina, Promenade and Cactus Meadows will receive a mill and overlay.

There will be alternating lane restrictions and temporary restrictions to side streets and driveways throughout various phases of this project to allow for the work to be done and to protect the fresh surface. Residents should avoid driving and parking on streets until cones and traffic controls have been removed.

Construction hours are 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and holidays. Containers must be out by 6 a.m. on scheduled waste collection days, unless otherwise directed. Before construction begins on each street, residents will receive a

project notification that includes additional information and instructions.

City to rehabilitate trunk sewer main

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

Peoria Times Managing Editor

Local construction company B&F Contracting Inc. recently received the go-ahead from Peoria’s mayor and councilmembers, who unanimously approved a proposed trunk sewer rehabilitation project.

Voted on as a consent item at an August 13 regular meeting, the first since a July adjournment, the multimillion dollar project covers the rehabilitation of 6,131 lineal feet of trunk sewer main throughout the city.

The city is paying B&F Contracting more than $2.5 million for the project, which addresses 107th Avenue, just north of Beardsley Road; Happy Valley Road, east of 83rd Avenue; Beardsley

Road, west of 91st Avenue; and Bell Road and 91st Avenue.

Construction is anticipated to begin this fall, with a targeted completion of winter.

The intent of the program is to “repair and rehabilitate defective segments of the city’s wastewater collection system,” according to the August 13 council agenda.

It was deemed necessary following a September 2018 assessment of the city’s trunk sewer mains, 15 inches and larger, the document continues.

“The city assesses all of the major sewer lines in the city (15-inch and large lines) approximately every five years,” added Adina Lund, development and engineering director.

“We video all of the sewer lines and look for any imperfections in the pipe and grade the systems on a scale from one to five to help us assess pipes that are in need of immediate repair,” she continued. “Additionally, this helps us forecast projects for our 10-year capital improvement program.”

Ultimately, a two-year window was given to remediate several areas of the wastewater system, the document reports The project is incorporated in the city’s recently passed fiscal year 2020/29 capital improvement program.

hended by administrators for smoking marijuana wax, a more potent, concentrated cannabis extract, in one of the restrooms.

Upon being taken to the office, police said the teen admitted to an administrator that he had a gun in his backpack.

That’s when the SRO was called, and the student was arrested around 10 a.m.

In the hours following the incident, Principal Bill Sorensen sent out a letter notifying families of the teen’s arrest as well as administrators’ and officers’ response procedures.

“While no threats were made against students, staff or our school, weapons or any item that disrupts the educational process are never allowed on our campus,” Sorensen said.

And, according to Sorensen, teachers and other school staff members were briefed on the incident at a regular Monday meeting.

“A reminder to our families that I still believe there is no other place like our public schools where there are more staff 100% committed to the safety and well-being of students. At Centennial, the safety of our students and staff is our first priority.”

The suspect was booked into the Durango Juvenile Detention Center without incident and charged with carrying a weapon on school grounds. He received additional drug charges. Police said the charges are preliminary and may be changed.

Police issued the following statement: “These matters are extremely serious in nature, cause disruption of an educational institution, and are not tolerated by the Peoria Unified School District or the Peoria Police Department.”

Fame is a disease in the video age of today

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist

You know what affliction never gets the attention it deserves? Fame. That’s a disease I hope never to catch.

Sure, famous people probably don’t wait 45 minutes for a table at Oregano’s. And they get treated as VIPs when they go to a U2 concert or a sporting event. Even so, despite the benefits, being famous looks awful to me.

Case in point: This week’s flap over CNN anchor Chris Cuomo flipping out when some jerk with a video camera called him “Fredo,” a reference to the dumb, traitorous Corleone son in “The Godfather.”

Lost in the altercation’s storm of f-bombs and testosterone — and Cuomo’s bizarre comparison that calling him Fredo was no different than slurring a black person with the n-word — is what touched off the incident to begin with.

A random stranger approached another human being who was out with his wife and 9-year-old daughter and saw fit to insult him.

This is only acceptable, you’ll note, because Cuomo is famous. He appears on a national television network every weeknight, reading the news from a tele-

prompter, interviewing newsmakers and regularly insulting the president of the United States. Thus, he’s fair game in our culture of 24/7 confrontation.

As Cuomo put it on Twitter afterward: “Appreciate all the support but — truth is I should be better than the guys baiting me. This happens all the time these days. Often in front of my family. But there is a lesson: no need to add to the ugliness; I should be better than what I oppose.”

Another case in point explaining the downside of fame: Last Saturday night at 11:30, Chandler police arrested a 60-year-

old man for driving under the influence near Pecos Road and Arizona Avenue.

The man was observed speeding in a 2009 Chevy Tahoe. He also swerved out of his lane into the bike lane. Fortunately, no one was struck, injured or killed.

Such garden variety DUI arrests happen every Saturday night in virtually every city in the Valley. In fact, more than 26,000 Arizona drivers were busted for DUI in 2017.

So why did this DUI make the news?

Because the driver was a guy named Ron Minegar.

Still don’t know who he is? Neither did I. It turns out Minegar is the executive vice president and chief operations officer for the Arizona Cardinals football team.

In 2019, such a position makes him famous enough to draw headlines for his inexcusably poor decision to combine Tito’s vodka and driving.

I should note that Minegar’s colleague Steve Keim, the team’s general manager, also was arrested for DUI in Chandler last year.

And the Cardinals recently have had a series of off-field incidents and arrests, enough for reporters to portray a

team in chaos, struggling with a culture of recklessness.

Even so, had Minegar been arrested in isolation, I imagine his mugshot still would have made the news all week, along with bodycam video of his failing field sobriety tests.

That’s how fame — even low-level fame — works these days. It has a few benefits for which the famous face an additional level of public scrutiny not applied to the masses.

Do I feel sorry for Cuomo and Minegar? No. Both men could have acted differently and avoided the headlines.

Cuomo could have been more graceful. Minegar could have used an ounce of common sense and four ounces less vodka.

The famous seem to be a source of endless fascination nowadays, approached ad nauseum, reported on endlessly, consumed like so many potato chips. Thoreau once wrote that the “mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

I’ll pass on desperation, but the quiet certainly has its advantages.

Constant beatings which crossed the threshold of regular spankings were common in my childhood, with my abusive, gun-owning, alcoholic father and his family facilitating many of these beatings.

I am writing this letter to you not only as a constituent, but also as a first-gen-

Quick help in violent times Editor: The most recent flare-ups of gun violence in Ohio and Texas have caused a resurgence of familiar arguments that require tons of rhetoric and time, but no immediate change.

I believe there are things we can do right now to promote safety, intelligence and rapid response, and to help us all be involved immediately.

Most Americans are distracted and self-absorbed. Everywhere I go I see people of all ages totally involved with their cellphones. They are not aware of where they are (or where they are going, who is around them and where nearby safe places exist).

Police officers and military don’t act that way. I spent two tours in the Marine Corps, seven years as a policeman and over 25 years as a Salvation Army officer. During all that time, I worked disasters and crime scenes and have been in violent situations.

So, I strongly suggest that citizens of all ages do the following now and always: • Consider every place you go as potentially dangerous • Never use your cellphone in public (especially while walking), except to make an emergency call • Always know where you are (ad-

eration Filipino-American immigrant and a former victim looking to have a normal life. In the wake of the recent shootings, I cannot stay silent as these red flag laws are reintroduced.

I am against these new red flag laws, as those with trauma-related mental illnesses, such as combat veterans who have served our country alongside traumatized individuals such as me, are open to abuses by these laws. These red flag laws could easily twist an innocuous comment posted to social media into a threat and cause an individudresses, street crossings and area names) • Really look at people (faces, hands) and greet them • Notice how people are dressed (bulky clothes to conceal weapons or identity) • Have emergency numbers and identification on you (in a plastic bag for quick access) • When entering buildings, look around and sit near the room edges (noticing exits) • Be aware of objects that could be used as defense weapons • If you have to run to a protected area, run in a zig-zag pattern (so you’re not an easy target) • Make up your mind ahead of time that you may need to fight or help someone (this terrorizes terrorists; they are counting on fear) • Don’t worry about selfies; safety is important • Be alert and help others always

al’s personal right to self-protection to become forfeit in the eyes of the legal system — or worse.

The red flag system currently being proposed relies mainly on hearsay and rumors. This can be easily weaponized by individuals who consider themselves to be “concerned relatives.”

Alongside this, the system is already poorly set up and violates the individual’s second, fourth, sixth and 14th amendments by denying an individual not only their firearm rights but their right to a reasonable search and seizure through this system. It also creates an atmosphere where a fair and speedy trial is unable to be found, as the trial is already unbalanced and weighs against the individual whose firearms were taken away.

This system lacks oversight and does not properly investigate threats, making verification nonexistent. In its current state, this system could easily be used as a state-sponsored harassment campaign, which would allow the state

to disarm an individual and in turn leave them open to threats against their life should any arise during these legal proceedings to get their firearms back.

According to the FBI, most murders are committed by people the victims know, so giving these very same people the ability to disarm their victims is unwise at best. The same laws being used to push for individuals to be disarmed for being deemed threats can become laws that allow criminals to disarm their targets.

In summary, the proposed laws compromise the right of the individual in the name of creating a false sense of security. Given that these laws were being reintroduced on the heels of our recent shootings, it is clear that they are intended for preventing further mass shootings. The caveat to this, however, is that it opens gun owners to state-approved reprisals in the name of public safety.

Getting people off the streets fundamental in communities

BY CLINT HICKMAN

Maricopa County District 4 Supervisor

Everybody should have a place to call home. This country is too great, our economy is too strong and our duty to one another is too fundamental to accept otherwise. This is what I believe.

I also understand it’s not that simple.

Ending homelessness entirely is the right goal, but no matter how hard we work or how many great programs we support, it probably won’t happen in my lifetime or yours. But that doesn’t mean we stand on the sidelines and do nothing.

As a business leader and a county supervisor, I’m proud to support ideas that have impact. The ones that provide jobs and second chances to those teetering on the edge. The ones that connect people to stabilizing resources at critical moments. The ones that make a positive difference not only in the lives of individuals, but entire communities.

This summer, the Board of Supervisors approved $2 million in feder-

al and county dollars to fund proven programs and initiatives helping to

reduce homelessness, unemployment and repeat visitors to our jails.

Many of these programs are run in partnership with our cities and towns, which are hyper-focused on community solutions that can make neighborhoods better.

Here are a few examples that will improve quality of life in the West Valley: • Expanded partnerships with the cities of Avondale and Surprise to increase shelter options for the growing population of unsheltered individuals and families • Investments in community action programs which provide financial assistance and crisis case management to at-risk individuals in multiple cities and towns • Renewed agreements with trusted partners such as Native American Connections, Community Bridges, A New Leaf and Lutheran Social Services, which provide housing, shelter and navigation services.

The County believes in regional solutions to homelessness because no single government, no single nonprofit and no single person — however well-intentioned — can solve this problem alone.

But I also believe in personal investment. For most of my adult life, my family’s farm has been hiring people that others have written off, offering paid work to nonviolent offenders

while they’re incarcerated. Recently, we expanded Hickman Family Farms’ reentry program to include temporary housing so those willing to work have a guaranteed roof over the head for as long as they need.

I’m excited that Maricopa County is also working to make a difference in this area. One example funded this year is a collaboration called “Hand in Hand,” which connects those in the justice system who have experienced homelessness with supportive housing, physical/mental health and navigation services while in jail, and community services upon release.

The people who benefit from “Hand in Hand” are the frequent flyers. Those who come back to jail again and again, often for misdemeanors, many of which are related to lack of housing. This program looks at the individual’s needs and provides resources that give them the greatest chance of staying out of jail.

Getting people off the streets and connecting them with affordable housing and jobs is an important part of building safe, healthy communities. Maricopa County is a regional leader and active partner on this issue, bringing people to the table and funding proven programs. We may not be able to do everything, but each of us can do something. I hope you’ll join us.

Stand up for veterans

BY JUDGE DONALD WATTS Peoria Times Columnist

I am pleased to share that again this year the Maricopa County Justice Courts will participate in Glendale Stand Up. This is an annual event that helps veterans with a variety of issues that include, but are not limited to, legal advice by experts, assistance from the city courts and justice courts, an opportunity to participate in community service, services by the Motor Vehicle Division, job interviews, professional assistance to prepare a resume, educational opportunities offered by Glendale Community College, social services, health care issues, a haircut (not like the ones in boot camp) and even a free lunch. All the services veterans need in one location.

The courts will help with fines management, community service, warrants, suspended driver’s licenses, setting pre-trial conferences and answering general questions. Do not get the wrong idea. We are not here to make everything go away. We are here

to find a way to help you be successful. This year the event will be held on Saturday, September 21, at Glendale Community College.

We as Americans owe our entire lifestyle to the veterans of this great nation. If you are not a veteran, thank one, especially when you see a senior citizen wearing a cap that shows a war fought long ago. If you are a veteran, hold you head high. You are a cut above, you put others before yourself and you set the standard for what we as Americans are.

Do you need a ride to the event?

Posts 145, 94 and 96 of the American Legion will offer free rides for veterans in Surprise, Sun City, Sun City West and Peoria. To arrange for free transportation, call 623-282–9300. If you have not heard, now any veteran that has honorably served since 1941 can become a legionnaire. Contact you local post for details.

yon State Vets will offer veterinary care by board-certified specialists in the areas of cardiology, dentistry, internal medicine, surgery, radiology and will also house a 24-hour pet-emergency and critical care center,” said Curt Coffman, managing partner of West Valley Veterinary Ventures LLC. “The new preeminent facility will allow for collaborative state-of the art veterinary care by multiple veterinary experts all under one roof.”

Canyon State Veterinary Specialties will have dedicated spaces for surgery, dentistry, emergency and critical care, internal medicine, cardiology, endoscopy and CT. There will be 12 exam rooms, office space and a dedicated grieving space.

“We are thrilled to partner with West Valley Veterinary Ventures and Deutsch Architecture to deliver this

high-quality facility,” said Mike Bontrager, regional president of Adolfson & Peterson Construction. “The ability to provide emergent and specialty care under one roof will be a boon for the surrounding community.”

Moving along, Hello Vietnam Pho & Roll is open at 25245 N. Lake Pleasant Parkway, Suite 1100, northeast of Happy Valley Road and Lake Pleasant Parkway.

As the restaurant’s name implies, Hello Vietnam offers pho with a variety of protein selections, from rare tender steak to brisket and beef meatballs.

Hello Vietnam also offers fried rolls and fresh rolls, steamed rice bowls, Vietnamese sandwiches and fully loaded bowls.

New Mexican restaurant offers ‘a trip throughout the country’

BY ERIC NEWMAN

Peoria Times Staff Writer

Mochilero Kitchen co-owners Jorge Cota and Justin Banauch hope to offer what they call a “trip throughout the country” when the restaurant opens in Peoria this fall.

The Mexican restaurant pairs traditional styles of food with a current, authentic twist.

Cota recalled driving for a month throughout Mexico, sampling different recipes and culinary techniques, something he had been dreaming about since finishing culinary school over a decade ago.

He and Banauch, also head chef, aim to tell that tale when the restaurant opens around September. The story is especially important to them, as the pair believe the flavors of Mexican food in the area do not mirror the experience they have had in other places.

“It’s a whole story about a trip through Mexico, learning all these different recipes and regions, and he spirit,” Cota said.

“I’ve always felt like the food here

doesn’t fully represent what it could be. So I wanted to go down and get some of those recipes, take a trip and get some of that spirit, some of that love, and bring it back.”

The two, who met through LinkedIn and were impressed by the other’s credentials, are excited about the prospect of the opening of their location at 6791 W. Happy Valley Road. Cota

has roots in the West Valley, while Banauch does not. However, Banauch wants Mochilero Kitchen to serve as a foundation for an expanding culinary culture in the area.

“Peoria is a growing community, and it doesn’t have the kind of thing we’re offering. It’s a blank canvas for us,” Banauch said.

“It’s very exciting to be able to get to an area that’s not as developed culinary-wise in that way, and then kind of put our imprint on it.”

Mochilero — meaning “backpacker” in Spanish, as a nod to the restaurant’s roots and story — is set to hold 87 seats indoors and another 28 on the patio when weather allows. The menu and exact opening date are still being determined, but the staff of the new establishment is anxious to get started on what is their first venture as owners.

“We want all guests to feel welcomed and at home,” Cota said. “It’s a true, Mexican hospitality kind of place and we can’t wait to open the doors.”

Youth soccer club encourages athletes to invest in their education

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Peoria Times Staff Writer

Tibor Pelle wants young soccer players to learn the same lesson his son once did: good grades are better than skills.

“If you cannot handle your stuff academically, there is no future in college soccer for you,” Pelle said.

The Phoenix Rising FC Youth Soccer Club, one of the largest Arizona youth soccer clubs in Arizona, hosted a college advisory presentation for its youth soccer players August 12. Experts in the field spoke to the young students and went over key details that will help them become college soccer players.

The Phoenix Rising FC Youth Soccer Club is the only youth soccer club in Arizona with a full-time director of college advising program. Pelle, the director, seeks to empower young students by giving them the proper tools for success.

But, regardless of the skills of the player, he said it all comes down to how the player performs within the halls of an institution.

“It’s about character and it’s about academics and it’s about your conduct on the field. It’s about how you deal with adversity and it is also about if you have a high GPA,” Pelle said.

During his presentation, Pelle talked about his son, Miguel Aguilar, whom he adopted when Aguilar was 16.

Aguilar had moved away from Mexico and to Sacramento, California, to get away from a war-fueled environment, Pelle said. Eventually, Aguilar went on to be part of the club Pelle was coaching at the time. He quickly realized Aguilar had a talent for soccer. But Pelle reminded the young soccer player that the work he did in the classroom was what mattered most.

“Aguilar went on to play the Uni-

623-776-8400 | AZBROADWAY.ORG

versity of San Francisco, graduating in three and a half years with a 3.75 (GPA) and two degrees, one in finance and one in business administration,” Pelle said. “Miguel drafted in the first round, 17th pick, and all of the sudden is playing in the DC United.”

Aguilar spent three seasons at DC United before being transferred to the L.A. Galaxy, for whom he played two seasons before retiring to pursue a master’s degree program in accounting and finance. Pelle used the story of his son to inspire and caution the young soccer players to put effort into their education.

“If you are diluting yourself into believing you’re going to play professional soccer and using that as an excuse to not put the time in and not study hard enough, that is not going to go well for you,” Pelle said.

Pelle said that even if soccer players get drafted by professional teams, they will be “lucky to earn $3,000 a month.”

“We live in a country that is crazy about professional sports, but there’s a massive difference between being a professional baseball, basketball or football player on one hand, and on the other hand a soccer player. It’s just the reality.”

Pelle encouraged the players in the room to begin thinking what they want to pursue in college so that they are ready to answer that question when a coach from a college asks. Even if they don’t know the answer, Pelle said, they should talk about what classes they excel in and what fields interest them.

“Go somewhere where you could study something that is handy and practical and tangible. Something that you can jump into the work world with,” Pelle said.

Like Aguilar, there was a promising student and soccer player in the room who wanted to support the points Pelle was making by sharing his own story with the audience.

Pedro Lara, a PRFC youth player and future freshman at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, said, “Soccer for me is all about education. I think it is very important nowadays to look at education. If I could play soccer, great, but for me at the time was always about education.”

Tibor pelle, left, and Pedro Lara. (Peoria Times photo by Octavio Serrano)

Lara said he was unsure if he wanted to attend RPI at first, but after going through his options, the New York native realized it was the perfect place for him.

“In my heart, I always knew I wanted to go back to (the) Northeast, and after looking at RPI and then that summer going out and seeing the campus, meeting up with the assistant coach who had gone out to see me and giving me a tour of the facilities, I decided that RPI is really something I wanted to look into,” Lara said.

Now, on his way to college, Lara reminds younger soccer players of the importance education plays into landing a college soccer position.

“College coaches also have a responsibility to you and to the university in seeing that you do what you’re supposed to do, make academic progress and eventually graduate. If you don’t graduate, it makes them look bad,” Pelle said. “If a coach sees that you’re going to struggle academically, that you’re not disciplined enough to study and get the job done in the classroom, are they going to be interested in you as a soccer player? No.” Though the coaches would love to watch the young athletes work their way to the professional leagues, what is most important in a person’s upbringing is his or her education, which ultimately gives them more options in the long run.

With meetings like this, Phoenix Rising FC Youth Soccer Club will continue to steer young athletes in the right direction and, hopefully, produce more inspiring stories like Aguilar’s and Lara’s.

New year, same goal for Sunrise Mountain football NO NO NO PAIN PAIN PAIN

BY ERIC NEWMAN

Peoria Times Staff Writer

The story is the same as usual for Sunrise Mountain football this season. The Mustangs are coming off a winning season in which they made the playoffs — as they have since coach Steve Decker took the program over in 2016 — and are rebuilt to try to do it again in 2019.

This rendition of Sunrise football is sprinkled with a balance of talent throughout the lineup, with plenty of younger players looking to make contributions as starters.

The Mustangs, due to both young talent and injury, played nine sophomores on defense in a 2018 game against region rival Ironwood, and a few on offense, too. That class, as upcoming

juniors, gives Decker a unique set of assets that are both young enough to keep improving, but already experienced at the highest high school level.

“That growth and getting thrown into the fire really helped them for the rest of the season, and that’s going to be big for us now,” Decker said.

Matt Johnson, a senior lineman, said with a young core, the seniors have taken it upon themselves to act as leaders and string along the underclassmen they will be depending on, as well.

“All during the offseason we’ve been mentoring them, and we’ve seen the group of young guys get so much better.

It’s really cool to see,” Johnson said.

Senior quarterback Alex Gianoli, who moves to the other side of the ball after playing safety last season, has been impressed with the work ethic of the entire group.

He claims these Mustangs are closer and have more of a unified team spirit than any season he has been a part of in his football career. And, it seems the other seniors believe it, as well.

“We’ve been going to these camps since before sophomore year, and the work this team has put in, everyone, is more than I’ve seen it in all those years,” Gianoli said.

Now set to start their 2019 campaign — with the same 10 teams slated for regular season games as they had last year — Sunrise Mountain will travel to Central High on August 23. As such, the Mustangs will have a chance to exact revenge on some of the teams they fell to in the past, as well as defend

bragging rights against the foes looking to do the same to them.

The AIA changed its football playoff format for the 2019 season, with an “open division” playoff consisting of eight teams from 4A, 5A and 6A to compete for the overall state championship aside from the individual conferences.

It is difficult to look far in the future, having not yet played a single game.

INTENSE INTENSE INTENSE PAIN PAIN PAIN

But, that eight-team postseason, Johnson said, is the ultimate goal for a perennially-successful 5A squad.

“That would just prove all of the work during the season, all that stuff we’ve been doing since last year ended, and give us a chance to see what we can do against all the 6A teams or the top ones in 5A. So, it would be really cool,” Johnson said.

Students, artist team up for new city mural

BY LAUREN SERRATO

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

The New River Trailhead at Westbrook Village recently welcomed a custom piece of artwork from a local professional artist and the help of over a dozen students.

A product of a program called Gallery 37, the mural is a collaboration between the Peoria Arts Commission and the West Valley Arts Council. The new mural, entitled “Mirage,” is the third completed piece of art from this collaboration. The first two murals were completed in 2016 and were initially installed on Happy Valley Road, but have since been relocated to the Peoria City Hall Campus and Country Meadows Park. In total, there are 15 pieces of art throughout the West Valley, completed by the Gallery 37 con-

tributing artists and students.

While “Mirage” is new to the trailhead, the piece was completed in the summer of 2017. The mural was completed before the trailhead was open to the public, causing a delay in the project installation. However, after the grand opening in August 2018, the mural was showcased to the public.

The completion of “Mirage” is credited to professional artist Belal Jammal and his student apprentices Marin Benjamin, Genevieve Brynne Quiros, Grace Diaz, Jennifer Duncan, Rainee Favela, Megan Galaviz, Kaylie Graham, Samantha Hulen, Tama Irving, Claire Kemp, Nayeli Rodriguez, Aubrey Shotts, Rosario Velazquez Cardenas and Amber Villaponds. Jammal said mural art and programs similar to Gallery 37 have always fascinated him.

“I’ve spent a lot of time researching the social impacts that such programs can have on communities,” he said. “I loved their vision and dedication and was extremely impressed by the structure and sustainability of the program.”

During his time as a mentor to the students, Jammal watched their skills develop. “Most of the students come to the program with very little or no mural experience, so I always enjoy witnessing the students evolve from nervous strangers to a close-knit and professional team of mural artists.”

The students in Gallery 37 decided upon “Mirage” after multiple brainstorming meetings. They researched Peoria’s history and studied the lives of its early settlers who moved to Arizona from Peoria, Illinois. Additionally, since all the students contributing to the project are female, the focus of the mural is on the lives of the women in Peoria, in both the past and present.

One of the many students who contributed to “Mirage” is Favela, a senior. This is Favela’s fourth year with

Peoria Seed Library blooming with business

BY KATIE SAWYER Peoria Times Writer

For Peoria residents, the only things needed to start a backyard garden right here in the desert are a library card and a little faith.

The Peoria and Sunrise Mountain libraries have added seed libraries to their long list of amenities, where patrons can “check out” up to three seed packets every three weeks, with each packet containing enough seed to grow one plant.

Heather Sorden, operations coordinator for the Sunrise Mountain Library, was excited by the idea when she first saw the seeds in the Pima County Public Library.

“I started researching and saw that seed libraries are just popping up all over the country now. It’s certainly not something new. We got into it definitely not on the cutting edge, but I (thought) that’s something that would be really beneficial to our community, if we could do that,” she said.

There are 25 public libraries in the Phoenix area that offer seed libraries, although all are sourced differently.

While some libraries choose to source their seeds from organizations like Garden Pool, and some even use Amazon, Sorden tried to find a local provider that could give her more than just the seeds.

“We decided to go with Native Seeds Search, because they’re local and they know what grows here. I thought that was really important because I am not a gardener at all, and I’d be very frustrated if I got a seed that doesn’t actually do well in Arizona,” she said.

The Tucson nonprofit organization has been dedicated to helping farmers grow sustainably and ending food insecurity since being founded in 1983.

During that time, it has grown its collection of seeds to astonishing numbers.

“Preserved in our seed bank today are nearly 2,000 varieties of crops adapted to arid landscapes extending from southern Colorado to central Mexico, many of them rare or endangered. The collection represents the cultural heritage and farming knowledge of over 50 indigenous communities,” according to its website.

These seeds have uniquely evolved, through generations of farmers and growers, to perform well in the desert environment. So, these seeds, as opposed to those bought on Amazon, will perform better in the heat and drought of southern Arizona.

“They were very helpful,” Sorden said. “I chose one type of bean and they said, ‘Oh, that’s for higher elevation, so you should get this one instead.’ They were awesome about telling me (which seeds) will grow well in Phoenix.”

Sorden applied for a federal grant to help start up the seed library, and once she received it, she celebrated the grand opening on October 6. The library now offers around 50 different vegetable and herb seeds.

“The herbs are very popular, and things like the pumpkin, the watermelon, those are really popular as well,” Sorden said. “Funnily, beans are not that popular, which I thought they would be, but they’re not.”

Perhaps growing beans in science class was enough for library cardhold-

ers. Tomato seeds — a plant notorious for being easy to grow — remain the most popular.

Sorden said her favorite part is the children who check out the seeds, as “they seem to really like getting the seeds and trying their hand at growing.”

“The kids that get excited about it. I think that’s the best part. They’re like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to grow our own zucchini,’ and they get excited about it,” Sorden said. “I think it’s a family project.”

To date, there have been more than 1,300 “check-outs” of seeds, but unlike the books at the library, patrons are not obligated to bring them back.

“That was part of Pima County (Library’s) original plan — to do a seed exchange,” she said. “We decided just to give the people the seeds and let them do with them as they will and not to do the exchange.”

For one thing, Sorden explained, the libraries don’t have experts on seeds.

“If you don’t have a master gardener working for you and people bring you seeds, you don’t know. I would not know the difference between an onion seed and a thyme or marjoram or cilantro,” Sorden said with a laugh.

The seed exchange has shown mixed results at other Valley libraries. Though Peoria libraries weren’t necessarily on the cutting edge of the seed library idea, they have reaped the benefits of seeing the pros and cons of other library systems, and how best to implement them in each library.

The program is designed specifically for people new to growing, and who

do not need seeds in bulk but may need more support than a person who is already an avid gardener. The city of Peoria has also created a Sustainable University program, which hosts workshops and classes on everything from growing wildflowers to composting.

“This is a program for beginning gardeners to get them exposure to growing,” Sorden said. “It’s definitely not a program if you’re already a gardener. You’re not going to want to try to get enough seeds from us to grow an entire garden, but it’s to give them exposure on how to grow, how to become sustainable, food-wise.”

Sorden, not a devoted gardener herself, tried her hand at growing radishes at the Sunrise Mountain Library from seeds she had checked out, but sadly they died when she went on vacation. Undeterred, she stated the importance of trying gardening — even if you’re not the best at it at first.

“That’s a skill that is leaving our society — being able to grow your own gardens. People don’t have kitchen gardens anymore. And, you know, I think that’s really unfortunate,” Sorden said.

Though their grant has now expired, the libraries decided in June to keep the seed library idea alive and growing. Patrons can find the seeds near the check-out counters.

Gallery 37, as she was accepted into the program as a freshman at Paradise Honors High School. Favela stated that the Gallery 37 provided her with the opportunity of exposure for her artwork, as well as connections throughout the West Valley.

“I was inspired to join Gallery 37 to not only contribute on a community project, but to gain more exposure into the abstract art world with a group of students that shared the same artistic interests as myself,” Favela said.

As one of the 14 students to help complete the mural, Favela played a major role in the project, as her sketch design was chosen by the group to create on a grander scale. She was also one of the students who presented the initial mural sketch to the Peoria City Council.

Favela and her team were responsible for completing the two female figures in the “Mirage” on the far left panel.

The Gallery 37 program is new to Arizona, but has been active throughout the country since 1991. It started in Chicago as a city beautification project with intentions to revitalize the community; however, the project also provided job training and arts education to aspiring artists and students. Gallery 37

has now expanded to serve the nation, including more than 24 cities across the United States, as well as the United Kingdom and Australia.

The students in the Gallery 37 project in Arizona range from ages 15 to 18.

Students are paired with a professional artist to design, develop and install a permanent piece of public art.

Marylou Stephens, the arts and events manager for the city of Peoria, referred to this program as both wonderful and unique, stating, “This school-to-work apprenticeship program results in the creation and permanent placement of a professional piece of public art, while also exposing students to a variety of career opportunities.”

In addition to the experience, the students receive college credits through the program’s partnership with Estrella Mountain Community College.

“Students are placed in an environment that cultivate interest in furthering their arts education,” Stephens said.

Since adding the program to the state in 2001, more than 250 West Valley students have participated in Gallery 37, many of which include students in Peoria.

The mural will be dedicated at 5 p.m.

Thursday, September 19, at The New River Trailhead at Westbrook Village.

Part of the joy of being a parent is introducing your baby to all kinds of new skills and activities. The important skills that you teach should take place on both the land and in the water. Teaching your baby how to swim and how to be safe around water is one of the most crucial life lessons that all parents must offer.

There are many benefits of baby swimming, even if it is a slightly daunting experience for most parents trying it for the first time. One of the benefits of baby swimming is that it starts building water confidence early. Going in the water with your baby will not only make them more assured about being in and around water, it can build your confidence as well.

Parents always ask me, “How young can a baby be to start swim lessons?”

My answer is that a baby can be introduced to the water between two and six months of age. Just this past year in fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics formally stated that they now recom-

mend that children as young as 1 year old get enrolled in formal swim lessons.

We also keep the temperature of our indoor pools at a very warm and comfortable 90 degrees all year long.

Benefits of swimming on your baby’s body and brain • Swimming strengthens your baby on the inside. While swimming will certainly help to develop their muscles and joints, it also improves the strength of their heart and lungs, and helps to develop their brain.

• Swimming can help to improve a baby’s coordination and balance. Because much of your baby’s body is supported by water, the main focus for them is on maintaining balance.

• Swimming can improve their sleeping pattern. While it isn’t going to make them sleep through the night every night, the extra exercise will help to make your baby sleepier.

• Swimming can improve a baby’s appetite. Lots of gentle exercise and warm water helps to make a baby hungry.

• A study done by Griffith Universi-

ty in Australia in 2012 showed that children who participate in regular swimming activities not only reach physical milestones faster but have a higher level of intelligence due to earlier brain and cognitive development.

Enjoy “tub time” at home to help prepare your baby for swim lessons Practice getting your baby’s face wet.

It’s important to get your child comfortable with water on their face. You can do this by first wetting different parts of their face. Move on to a slow trickle of water over your baby’s face and down the back of the head.

Teach bubble blowing. Blowing bubbles in the bath tub teaches children how to clear their nasal passages when they don’t have any free hands to plug their nose. One way to do this is to blow ping pong balls across the surface of the water. You can teach bubble blowing by making funny noises while blowing.

Not only is this fun for your toddler, it also prepares them for skills they’ll need in formal swimming lessons later on.

Use bath toys or household items

that they can interact with in the tub.

Not only do bath toys help your little one develop their motor skills, but this kind of play time in the bath allows them to use their limbs more freely in the water.

Eventually, watching your child take his or her first swim strokes across the pool will be just as exciting and memorable as watching them take their first walking steps across the floor. Enrolling in swim lessons may also prove to be one of the most enjoyable, special bonding experiences the two of you will ever experience together.

Bob Hubbard and his wife, Kathy, have become internationally renowned speakers and experts in the field of infant swimming. The Hubbards own three swim schools around the Valley — in Phoenix, Peoria and Mesa. A new, fourth location will open soon in Goodyear. Now celebrating their 21st year in business, their swim schools offer lessons to babies and children, ages two months up to 12 years of age.

Four ways to help seniors maintain healthy, independent lives

BY K.C. KANAAN Guest Columnist

I witnessed firsthand how painful it was when my parents lost their ability to drive and, with it, their independence. My siblings and I became their lifeline to the world. My parents relied on us for driving and escorting them everywhere — doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping, errands and social events. With small children of our own, it became increasingly difficult to be available to both my children’s and parents’ needs.

As we sought a solution, I discovered the lack of reliable transportation, assistance and companionship was far from anomalous to my family. In fact, transportation is the second-largest challenge for seniors and their families after health care.

For these reasons, I helped found a company that offers door-through-door service where the Driver Companions not only drive, but also provide assistance and companionship at all points along the journey, from pushing a grocery cart to running errands, escorting

clients to and from medical appointments and more.

Through this experience, I’ve discovered there are several critical ways to ensure seniors can maintain independent and healthy lives: Schedule and keep preventative health appointments — According to a 2011 study done by AARP, seniors who don’t drive make 15% fewer trips to the doctor. Regular check-ups and preventative screenings are important to ensuring seniors stay healthy.

Help seniors stay social — When a senior loses the ability to drive, reduced transportation options can lead to isolation, depression, poor health and poor quality of life.

Make sure the seniors in your life are able to maintain a consistent social calendar, whether it be attending religious services, lunch outings with friends, or visiting family.

Remove potential hazards — Seniors are more at risk for accidents such as falling or tripping that can result in more serious injuries. Identify and remove potential hazards that could potentially cause any of these accidents, such as adding ramps to curbed areas around the home or adding handrails to bathrooms.

Identify senior-friendly transportation options — If a senior is unable to drive, identify what services or public transportation options are the best fit.

No matter a person’s age, most people simply want the ability to enjoy an independent life. For seniors, they may require a bit more attention and assistance to achieve this goal.

K.C. Kanaan is the founder and CEO of Envoy America, a comprehensive program that offers transportation plus assistance and companionship for seniors. Envoy America helps seniors and the infirm stay independent, healthy and socially active — all without getting behind the wheel of a car. For more information, visit envoyamerica.com.

Once upon a time there was twice upon a time Have you ever been in a situation where you wished you could take back what you said to another person or about another person? Something provoked you or set you off and what was on the inside of you came right of out your mouth. You zinged them, attacking them verbally. You went to the dark side, when they didn’t do all that much to provoke you.

Many times, we humans attack others, even when something happens that is not their fault. They were the recipient of our frustrations and anger that had built up inside us for years. They just happened to be there when our internal temperature reached a boiling point. Then there is a breach in the wall between them and us.

Anger or frustration not transformed is transferred.

Let me clarify where I am going with

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Columnist

a real-life example. The perpetrator is this case was none other than me, myself and I. Yes, you probably thought I was perfect, writing all these articles for years.

Hang on. Here we go, into the darkness.

Two weeks ago, I returned from three weeks of speaking in South Africa. I was home for two days. Then Becky and I flew to Colorado Springs to speak at the World Prayer Center and to visit friends.

After a smooth check-in at the air-

line counter on our return home trip, we proceeded to the security line. Going through security can be a frustrating process. The lines are long. People going through them have no idea what to do. The agents are overworked and tired of dealing with the sheer volume of people. And the stress of getting to their flight in time heightens the anxiety of most everyone. By the time you get through the process, you are like a kettle on the boil. But you don’t want to vent your frustration because they might think you’re a terrorist. It’s their job.

Becky and I have a Global Entry pass, so we checked into the TSA’s pre-approved line. It’s a much quicker line. You put your hand-carry on the belt, they check it out and you’re on your way. But not on this occasion.

Understand I had just been through heaps of security checks in South Africa and now in America. My patience with the security process was registering empty. Then it happened.

The frequent flyer’s worst nightmare. The security agent, inspecting my carry-on bag by X-ray, saw something in my bag she wanted investigated. Finally, another TSA agent came to get my bag, unzipped it and proceeded to go through the bag slow, slowly and slower than slowly.

Inside me, the mercury was rising.

Jupiter was ascending. I was fuming at the agent who was going through my carry-on. I stood back, fearing I might say or do something stupid. He saw my Bible inside my carry-on. He flipped through it. He looked at me and very nicely said, “This is quite a Bible. You have really used it. How long have you had it?”

Have you ever spoken harshly and then wished you had never said it?

Well, I did then. When the words came out of my mouth, it was like I was running in slow motion, trying to catch the words as they proceeded into the air to his and many other ears. I spoke forcefully and loudly, “Don’t talk to me. Just check the bag and let me get out of here.” What was on the inside

went outside. He looked at me, smiled and zipped up the bag. I grabbed it without looking at him and off I went, thoroughly disgusted with myself more than him.

There he was, doing his job, being nice by starting a conversation about the very same Bible I had just used in South Africa and Colorado, ministering to thousands. He complimented me and I dissed him. How disappointing. My wife responded like Barney Fife in that old Andy Griffith show: “Citizen’s arrest! Citizen’s arrest!” I got the silent treatment from her, which is worse than any TSA agent or line. In one moment of a “flesh flash,” I had undermined the very person I am.

But wait, there’s more. Though I had created a breach in the wall with the agent, I could now attempt to repair the breach in the wall. With God, the breach is not so much the issue as being the repairer of the breach, especially when you caused the breach. Isaiah 58:12 says, “…and you shall be called, the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths in which to dwell.”

What did I do to repair the breach? I walked back to the agent, looked him in the face and asked his forgiveness.

No excuses. No justifications. “I’m so sorry. You were just doing your job.

This is my issue. Please forgive me.”

He looked at me, a bit surprised, and smiled. “That’s alright. I understand.

Have a good day.” If the TSA agent is out there somewhere reading this article, thank you. Your response to my response repaired me more than you will ever know.

It’s not the “once upon a time” that gets us. It’s what we do afterward with the breach. “Once upon a time” created the breach. “Twice upon a time” repaired the breach. The time is always right to do what’s right.

Repairing the breach happens “twice upon a time.” Thank God for right paths.

Volunteers support students in math, literacy

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF When Sun City West resident Mike Kennelly retired several years ago from a career as a researcher in the biomedical field, he returned to his first love — working with students in the classroom.

Kennelly will serve as a volunteer for the third year with Your Experience Counts (YEC) in the Dysart Unified School District for the 2019-20 school year.

A program of HandsOn Greater Phoenix, YEC recruits and trains classroom volunteers for high needs schools in the Dysart, Washington, Osborn, Balsz and Mesa school districts. The program served nearly 4,000 students in 26 schools last year. More volunteers are needed to support literacy in grades one to three and math and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in grades four through eight.

Kennelly, with an advanced degree in chemical engineering, spent several years teaching in high school in addition to his work as a researcher.

“They were my most enjoyable and rewarding years,” he said. “When I saw YEC was seeking classroom volunteers, it was a good fit for me.”

Kennelly worked with individuals and small groups of students providing math interventions in fifth and sixth grades last year at Thompson Ranch Elementary. Sixth grade teacher Michelle Haslam reported that Kennelly “helped improve student academic outcomes and student motivation.”

At the conclusion of the school year, several fifth-grade students wrote notes thanking Kennelly for his help. Their comments included: “Thank you for getting me ready for the math test and

The Infrastructure Improvements Plan shall be consistent with the City's current Land Use Assumptions for each Service Area and each Category of Necessary Public Services as adopted by the City pursuant to A.R.S. § 9-463.05. (a) Reviewing the Land Use Assumptions. Prior to the adoption or amendment of an Infrastructure Improvements Plan, the City shall review and evaluate the Land Use Assumptions on which the Infrastructure Improvements Plan is to be based to ensure that the Land Use Assumptions within each Service Area conform to the General Plan. (b) Evaluating Necessary Changes. If the Land Use Assumptions upon which an Infrastructure Improvements Plan is based have not been updated within the last five (5) years, the City shall evaluate the Land Use Assumptions to determine whether changes are necessary. If, after general evaluation, the City determines that the Land Use Assumptions are still valid, the City shall issue the notice required in Section 20-41 of this Chapter. (c) Required Modifications to Land Use Assumptions. If the City determines that changes to the Land Use Assumptions are necessary in order to adopt or amend an Infrastructure Improvements Plan, it shall make such changes as necessary to the Land Use Assumptions prior to or in conjunction with the review and approval of the Infrastructure Improvements Plan pursuant to Section 2037 of this Chapter. (Ord. No. 02-59, 6/18/02, Amended (SUPP 2002-2); Ord. No. 2014-19, 5/6/14, Enacted (SUPP 2014-2)) Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 12 of 28 Sec. 20-36. - Development fees; Infrastructure Improvement Plan. (a) Infrastructure Improvements Plan Contents. The Infrastructure Improvements Plan shall be developed by Qualified Professionals and may be based upon or incorporated within the City's Capital Improvements Plan. The Infrastructure Improvements Plan shall: (1) Specify the Categories of Necessary Public Services for which the City will impose a development fee. (2) Define and provide a map of one or more Service Areas within which the City will provide each Category of Necessary Public Services for which development fees will be charged. Each Service Area must be defined in a manner that demonstrates a Substantial Nexus between the Capital Facilities to be provided in the Service Area and the Service Units to be served by those Capital Facilities. For Libraries and for Parks larger than 30 acres, each Service Area must be defined in a manner that demonstrates a Direct Benefit between the Capital Facilities and the Service Units to be served by those Capital Facilities. The City may cover more than one category of Capital Facilities in the same Service Area provided that there is an independent Substantial Nexus or Direct Benefit, as applicable, between each Category of Necessary Public Services and the Service Units to be served. (3) Identify and describe the Land Use Assumptions upon which the Infrastructure Improvements Plan is based in each Service Area. (4) Analyze and identify the existing Level of Service provided by the City to existing Service Units for each Category of Necessary Public Services in each Service Area. (5) Identify the Level of Service to be provided by the City for each Category of Necessary Public Services in each Service Area based on the relevant Land Use Assumptions and any established City standards or policies related to required Levels of Service. If the City provides the same Category of Necessary Public Services in more than one Service Area, the Infrastructure Improvements Plan shall include a comparison of the Levels of Service to be provided in each Service Area. (6) For each Category of Necessary Public Services, analyze and identify the existing capacity of the Capital Facilities in each Service Area, the utilization of those Capital Facilities by existing Service Units and the available excess capacity of those Capital Facilities to serve new Service Units including any existing or planned commitments or agreements for the usage of such capacity. (7) Estimate the total number of existing and future Service Units within each Service Area based on the City's Land Use Assumptions. (8) Based on the analysis in subsections (3)—(6) above, provide a summary table or tables describing the Level of Service for each Category of Necessary Public Services by relating the required Capital Facilities to Service Units in each Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 13 of 28 Service Area, and identifying the applicable Service Unit factor associated with each Category of Development. (9) For each Category of Necessary Public Services, analyze and identify the projected utilization of any available excess capacity in existing Capital Facilities, and all new or expanded Cap-

sary Public Services by relating the required Capital Facilities to Service Units in each Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 13 of 28 Service Area, and identifying the applicable Service Unit factor associated with each Category of Development. (9) For each Category of Necessary Public Services, analyze and identify the projected utilization of any available excess capacity in existing Capital Facilities, and all new or expanded Capital Facilities that will be required to provide and maintain the planned Level of Service in each Service Area as a result of the new projected Service Units in that Service Area, for a period not to exceed ten (10) years. Nothing in this Subsection shall prohibit the City from additionally including in its Infrastructure Improvements Plan projected utilization of, or needs for, Capital Facilities for a period longer than ten (10) years, provided that the costs of such Capital Facilities are excluded from the calculation of the Plan-Based Cost per Service Unit. (10) For each Category of Necessary Public Services, estimate the total cost of any available excess capacity and/or new or expanded Capital Facilities that will be required to serve new Service Units, including costs of land acquisition, improvements, engineering and architectural services, studies leading to design, design, construction, financing, and administrative costs. Such total costs shall not include costs for ongoing operation and maintenance of Capital Facilities, nor for replacement of Capital Facilities to the extent that such replacement is necessary to serve existing Service Units. If the Infrastructure Improvements Plan includes changes or upgrades to existing Capital Facilities that will be needed to achieve or maintain the planned Level of Service to existing Service Units, or to meet new regulatory requirements for services provided to existing Service Units, such costs shall be identified and distinguished in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan. (11) Forecast the revenues from taxes, fees, assessments or other sources that will be available to fund the new or expanded Capital Facilities identified in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan, which shall include estimated state-shared revenue, highway users revenue, federal revenue, ad valorem property taxes, construction contracting or similar excise taxes and the capital recovery portion of utility fees attributable to development based on the approved Land Use Assumptions. (12) Calculate required Offsets as follows: a. Identify those sources of revenue that: (i) are attributable to new development, and (ii) will contribute to paying for the capital costs of Necessary Public Services. b. For each source of revenue identified pursuant to paragraph a of this Subsection, calculate the relative contribution of new development paying for the capital costs of Necessary Public Services in each Service Area. c. Based on the relative contributions identified pursuant to paragraph b of this Subsection, for each Category of Necessary Public Services, calculate the total Offset per Service Unit to be provided in each Service Area. Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 14 of 28 d. Beginning August 1, 2014, for purposes of calculating the required Offset, if the City imposes a construction, contracting, or similar excise tax rate in excess of the percentage amount of the transaction privilege tax rate that is imposed on the majority of other transaction privilege tax classifications in the City, the entire excess portion of the construction, contracting, or similar excise tax shall be treated as a contribution to the capital costs of Necessary Public Services provided to new development unless the excess portion is already utilized for such purpose pursuant to this Section.

(13) Calculate the Cost per Service Unit by: a. Dividing the total projected costs to provide Capital Facilities to new Service Units for each Category of Necessary Public Services in each Service Area as determined pursuant to Subsections 1 through 11 of this Section by the total number of new Service Units projected for that Service Area over a period not to exceed ten (10) years for each Category of Necessary Public Services. b. Subtracting the required Offset per Service Unit calculated pursuant to Subsection 12 of this Section. (b) Multiple Plans. An Infrastructure Improvements Plan adopted pursuant to this Subsection may address one or more of the City's Categories of Necessary Public Services in any or all of the City's Service Areas. Each Capital Facility shall be subject to no more than one Infrastructure Improvements Plan at any given time. (c) Reserved Capacity. The City may reserve capacity in an Infrastructure Improvements Plan to serve one or more planned future developments. All reservations of existing capacity must be identified in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan at the time it is adopted.

(5) The adopted development fee schedule set forth in the section is identified in Chapter 27, Tables 27-19 (a), 27-19 (b), 27-19 (c), 27-19 (d), 27-19 (e), 27-19 (f), and 27-19 (g). (Ord. No. 02-59, 6/18/02, Amended (SUPP 2002-2); Ord. No. 2014-19, 5/6/14, Enacted (SUPP 20142); Ord. No. 2017-32 , § 6, 6-13-17) Sec. 20-38. - Development fees; updates; schedules. (a) Updating the Infrastructure Improvements Plan. Except as provided in Subsection B of this Section, not later than every five (5) years the City shall update the applicable Infrastructure Improvements Plan related to each Category of Necessary Public Services pursuant to Section 20-37 of this Chapter. Such five-year period shall be calculated from the date of the adoption of the Infrastructure Improvements Plan. (b) Determination of No Changes. Notwithstanding Subsection A of this Section, if the City determines that no changes to an Infrastructure Improvements Plan, underlying Land Use Assumptions, or fee schedules are needed, the City may elect to continue the existing Infrastructure Improvements Plan without amendment by providing notice as follows: (1) Notice of the determination shall be published at least 180 days prior to the end of the five-year period described in Subsection A of this Section.

(c) Response to Comments.

The City shall consider and respond within 30 days to any timely requests submitted pursuant to Paragraph 4 of Subsection (b) of this Section. Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 17 of 28 (Ord. No. 02-59, 6/18/02, Amended (SUPP 2002-2); Ord. No. 2014-19, 5/6/14, Enacted (SUPP 2014-2)) Sec. 20-39. - Development fees; collection. (a) Collection. Development fees, together with any administrative charges assessed to defray the costs of administering Sections 20-30—20-43, shall be calculated and collected at issuance of permission to commence development; specifically: (1) Development fees shall be paid at the time of issuance of a Building Permit according to the current development fee schedule for the applicable Service Area(s) as adopted pursuant to this code, or according to any other applicable development fee schedule as authorized in this Chapter. a. The City shall determine the amount of each required development fee through the use of the applicable fee schedule. b. The City shall determine the Category of Development for each development based on overall, long-term impact of the development. In general, impact fees shall be assessed based on the principal use of a building or lot. For example, a warehouse that contains an administrative office would be assessed at the warehouse rate for all of the square footage. Shopping centers shall be assessed at the retail/commercial rate, regardless of the type of tenants. For a true mixed-use development, such as one that includes both residential and nonresidential development, the fee shall be determined by adding up the fees that would be payable for each use as if it was a freestanding land use type pursuant to the fee schedule. For uses that cannot readily be designated under a particular Category of Development, the City Manager or his designee shall determine the category the particular use will be assigned based on which category has a daily trip generation rate most similar to the proposed use. c. The City shall determine the water meter size for each lot based on the actual meter size installed on each lot. If the exact meter size is not listed in a table, then the City shall use the next largest meter size in such table.

If a lot consists of two (2) or more separate areas with separate meters in each separate area, then the development fee shall be determined by adding up all the fees that would be applicable for each meter size in each separate area. d. In assessing the development fees for NonResidential land use types, square footage shall be measured in terms of Gross Floor Area, and any determination of square footage shall be in whole units, with any fractions thereof being rounded up to the next square foot. e. Develop-

ate areas with separate meters in each separate area, then the development fee shall be determined by adding up all the fees that would be applicable for each meter size in each separate area. d. In assessing the development fees for NonResidential land use types, square footage shall be measured in terms of Gross Floor Area, and any determination of square footage shall be in whole units, with any fractions thereof being rounded up to the next square foot. e. Development fees for development projects involving an addition to or remodeling of an existing facility, change of use, change of housing type, change of meter size or other modification or redevelopment of a previously developed lot or building with a valid certificate of occupancy shall be calculated as follows: the applicable development fees for the proposed Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 18 of 28 development as set forth in the current development fee schedules minus the applicable development fees for the previous development as set forth in the current development fee schedules. In the event that the difference is negative, no refund of previously paid development fees shall be made. (2) If a Building Permit is not required for the development, but water connections are required, any and all development fees due shall be paid at the time the water service connection is purchased. If no Building Permit or water connection is required, all development fees shall be paid prior to development approval. (3) In determining the amount of fees required for land included in a community facilities district established under A.R.S. Title 48, Chapter 4, Article 6, the City shall take into account any Capital Facilities provided by the district that are included in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan ("Included Capital Facilities") and the capital costs paid by the district for such Included Capital Facilities, and shall reduce development fees assessed within the community facilities district proportionally. (4) No Building Permit, water or sewer connection, or certificate of occupancy shall be issued if a development fee is not paid as directed in the previous paragraphs. (5) If the Building Permit is for a change in the type of building use, an increase in square footage, a change to land use, or an additional or upgraded point of demand to the water system, the development fee shall be assessed on the additional service units resulting from the expansion or change, and following the development fee schedule applicable to any new use type. (6) For issued permits that expire or are voided, development fees and administrative charges shall be as follows: a. If the original permittee is seeking to renew an expired or voided permit, and the development fees paid for such development have not been refunded, then the permittee shall pay the difference between any development fees paid at the time the permit was issued and those in the fee schedule at the time the permit is reissued or renewed. b. If a new or renewed permit for the same development is being sought by someone other than the original permittee, the new permit Applicant shall pay the full development fees specified in the fee schedule in effect at the time that the permits are reissued or renewed. If the original permittee has assigned its rights under the permits to the new permit Applicant in writing, the new permit Applicant shall pay development fees as if it were the original permittee upon presentation of such written assignment to the City. (b) Exceptions. Development fees shall not be owed under any of the following conditions. Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 19 of 28 (1) Development fees have been paid for the development and the permit(s) which triggered the collection of the development fees have not expired or been voided. (2) The approval(s) that trigger the collection of development fees involve modifications to existing development that do not: (a) add new Service Units, (b) increase the impact of existing Service Units on existing or future Capital Facilities, or (c) change the land-use type of the existing development to a different Category of Development for which a higher development fee would have been due. To the extent that any modification does not meet the requirements of this paragraph, the development fee due shall be the difference between the development fee that was or would have been due on the existing development and the development fee that is due on the development as modified. (3) Public schools and charter schools shall be exempt from payment of Fire and Police development fees to the extent provided by law. (4) Temporary structures for which an administrative use permit is secured for use as a sales office and not for residential or other purposes and intended to be removed within the two-year period granted under the use permit shall be exempt from devel-

that is due on the development as modified. (3) Public schools and charter schools shall be exempt from payment of Fire and Police development fees to the extent provided by law. (4) Temporary structures for which an administrative use permit is secured for use as a sales office and not for residential or other purposes and intended to be removed within the two-year period granted under the use permit shall be exempt from development fees. This exemption shall not apply where the temporary building is erected on a parcel of land upon which a permanent building with permanent facilities is to be constructed. (c) Temporary Exemptions from Development Fee Schedules. New developments in the City shall be temporarily exempt from increases in development fees that result from the adoption of new or modified development fee schedules as follows: (1) Single-Family Uses. On or after the day that the first building permit is issued for a Single-Family Detached subdivision development, the City shall, at the permittee's request, provide the permittee with an applicable development fee schedule that shall be in force for a period of 24 months beginning on the day that the first building permit is issued for the subdivision, and which shall expire at the end of the first business day of the 25th month thereafter. During the effective period of the applicable development fee schedule, any building permit issued for the same Single-Family subdivision development shall not be subject to any new or modified development fee schedule, provided that if the City reduces the amount of an applicable development fee during the period that a grandfathered development fee schedule is in force, the City shall assess the lower development fee. (2) Non-Residential and Multi-Family Uses. On or after the day that the final approval is issued for a Non-Residential or Multi-Family development, the City shall provide an applicable development fee schedule that shall be in force for a period of 24 months beginning on the day that final development approval of a site plan and/or final commercial subdivision plat is given, whichever is earlier, and which shall expire at the end of the first business day of the 25th month thereafter.

For the purpose of this paragraph, final approval shall mean the Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 20 of 28 approval of a site plan or, if no site plan is required to be submitted for the development, the approval of a final subdivision plat If no site plan or final subdivision plat is required, final approval shall mean the issuance of the first building permit on the property.

During the effective period of the applicable development fee schedule, any building permit issued for the same development shall not be subject to any new or modified development fee schedule, provided that if the City reduces the amount of an applicable development fee during the period that a grandfathered development fee schedule is in force, the City shall assess the lower development fee. (3) Other Development.

Any development not covered under paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Subsection shall pay development fees according to the fee schedule that is current at the time of collection as specified in Subsection A of this Section. (4) Changes to Site Plans and Subdivision Plats. Notwithstanding the other requirements of this Subsection, if changes are made to a development's final site plan or subdivision plat that will increase the number of service units after the issuance of a grandfathered development fee schedule, the City may assess any new or modified development fees against the additional service units. (Ord. No. 02-59, 6/18/02, Amended (SUPP 2002-2); Ord. No. 2014-19, 5/6/14, Enacted (SUPP 2014-2)) Sec. 20-40. - Development fees; credits. (a) Eligibility of Capital Facility. All development fee Credits must meet the following requirements: 1. One of the following is true: a. The Capital Facility or the financial contribution toward a Capital Facility that will be provided by the Developer and for which a Credit will be issued must be identified in an adopted Infrastructure Improvements Plan as a Capital Facility for which a development fee was assessed; or b. The Applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that, given the class and type of improvement, the subject Capital Facility should have been included in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan in lieu of a different Capital Facility that was included in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan and for which a development fee was assessed.

If the subject Capital Facility is determined to be eligible for a Credit in this manner, the City shall amend the Infrastructure Improvements Plan to (i) include the subject replacement facility and (ii) delete the facility that will be replaced. The decision of the City on such determinations is final and not subject to any appeal under this code. 2. Credits

Facility that was included in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan and for which a development fee was assessed.

If the subject Capital Facility is determined to be eligible for a Credit in this manner, the City shall amend the Infrastructure Improvements Plan to (i) include the subject replacement facility and (ii) delete the facility that will be replaced. The decision of the City on such determinations is final and not subject to any appeal under this code. 2. Credits shall not be available for any Capital Facility provided by a Developer if the cost of such Capital Facility will be repaid to the Developer by the City Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 21 of 28 through another agreement or mechanism. To the extent that the Developer will be paid or reimbursed by the City for any contribution, payment, construction, or dedication from any City funding source, any Credits claimed by the Developer shall be: (a) deducted from any amounts to be paid or reimbursed by the City; or (b) reduced by the amount of such payment or reimbursement. (b) Eligibility of Subject Development. To be eligible for a Credit, the Subject Development must be located within the Service Area of the eligible Capital Facility. (c) Calculation of Credits. Credits will be based on that portion of the costs for an eligible Capital Facility identified in the adopted Infrastructure Improvements Plan for which a development fee was assessed. If the Gross Development Fee for a particular Category of Necessary Public Service is adopted at an amount lower than the Cost per Service Unit, the amount of any Credit shall be reduced in proportion to the difference between the Cost per Service Unit and the Gross Development Fee adopted. A Credit shall not exceed the actual costs the Applicant incurred in providing the eligible Capital Facility, nor shall it exceed the amount of the applicable development fee for the Subject Development. (d) Allocation of Credits. Before any Credit can be issued to a Subject Development (or portion thereof), the Credit must be allocated to that development as follows: (1) The Developer and the City must execute a Credit Allocation Agreement including all of the following: a. The total amount of the Credits resulting from provision of an eligible Capital Facility. b. The estimated number of Service Units to be served within the Subject Development. c. The method by which the Credit values will be allocated within the Subject Development.

(2) It is the sole obligation of the Developer to request allocation of development fee Credits by the City through an application for a Credit Allocation Agreement. (3) If a building permit is issued or a water connection is purchased, and a development fee is paid prior to execution of a Credit Allocation Agreement for the Subject Development, no Credits may be allocated retroactively to that permit or connection. Credits may be allocated to any remaining permits for the Subject Development in accordance with this Chapter. (4) If the entity that provides an eligible Capital Facility sells or relinquishes a development (or portion thereof) that it owns or controls prior to execution of a Credit Allocation Agreement, Credits will only be allocated to the development if the entity legally assigns such rights and responsibilities to its successor(s) in interest for the Subject Development, together with an agreement for the assignment of and assumption of all duties between entity and the City pursuant to any agreements between the entity and City. Ordinance No. 201921 Page 22 of 28 (5) If multiple entities jointly provide an eligible Capital Facility, all entities must enter into a single Credit Allocation Agreement with the City, and any request for the allocation of Credit within the Subject Development(s) must be made jointly by the entities that provided the eligible Capital Facility. Failure by any entity to enter into a Credit Allocation Agreement with the City shall be deemed a waiver of any rights to receive credits under this Chapter. (6) No assignment or assumption of any Credit Allocation Agreement shall be recognized by the City unless such written assignment or assumption of the Credit Allocation Agreement is filed with the City Clerk of the City. (e) Credit Agreement.

Credits shall only be issued pursuant to a Credit Allocation Agreement executed in accordance with Subsection (d) of this Section. The City Council may authorize the City Manager to enter into a Credit Allocation Agreement as part of the approval of zoning and/or development agreements with the controlling entity of a Subject Development, subject to the following: (1) The Developer requesting the Credit Agreement shall provide all information requested by the City to allow it to determine the value of the Credit to be applied.

(4) The applicant shall pay the cost incurred by the City in making the determination as set forth in Chapter 2 of this Code. The City as a condition of proceeding with the application will require a deposit of the reasonably estimated cost. The City's determination of the Credit to be allocated is final and not subject to any further review. (5) Upon execution of the Credit Allocation Agreement by the City and the Applicant, Credits shall be deemed allocated to the Subject Development and applied to development fee charges as incurred.

(2) Credits shall only be issued when the eligible Capital Facility from which the Credits were derived has been accepted by the City or acceptable forms of assurance are approved in writing by the City. (3) Where Credits have been issued pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Subsection, a development fee due at the time a building permit is issued shall be reduced by the Credit amount stated in or calculated from the executed Credit Agreement. Where Credits have not yet been issued, the Gross Development Fee shall be paid in full. (4) Credits, once issued, may not be rescinded or reallocated to another permit or parcel, except that Credits may be released for reuse on the same Subject Development if a building permit for which the Credits were issued has expired or been voided and is otherwise eligible for a refund under Section 20- 32.(a)(2)(a) of this Chapter.

A development fee determination

by City staff may be appealed in accordance with the following procedures: (a) Limited Scope. An appeal shall be limited only to disputes regarding the calculation of the development fees for a specific development and/or permit and calculation of Service Units for the development. No other administrative actions of the City pursuant to Sections 20-30—2043 of this code shall be subject to appeal. (b) Form of Appeal. An appeal shall be initiated on such written form as the City may prescribe and submitted to the Finance Director. The Applicant shall submit a written notice of appeal with a full statement of the grounds and an appeal fee as provided in Chapter 2 of this Code. (c) Action by Hearing Officer. The City shall assign the matter to a hearing officer, who shall consider the applicant's statement of the grounds and the City's response which shall be filed within ten calendar days following the applicant's appeal. The Hearing Officer shall act upon the appeal within 10 calendar days following the filing of the City's response.

Failure to file a response shall be deemed a waiver of the right to respond.

Continuances may only be granted by the hearing officer for good cause and all parties shall be notified of the decision in writing. (d) Final Decision. The Hearing Officer's decision regarding the appeal is final. (e) Fees During Pendency.

Upon final disposition of an appeal, the fee shall be adjusted in accordance with the decision rendered, and a refund paid if warranted. If the appeal is denied by the Hearing Officer, and the Applicant has provided the City with financial assurances as set forth in clause (2) above, the Applicant shall deliver the full amount of the development fee to the City within ten days of the Hearing Officer's final decision on the appeal. If the Applicant fails to deliver the full amount of the development fees when required by this Subsection, the City may draw upon such financial assurance instrument(s) as necessary to recover the full amount of the development fees due from the Applicant. (Ord. No. 02-59, 6/18/02, Amended (SUPP 2002-2); Ord. No. 2014-19, 5/6/14, Enacted (SUPP 2014-2)) Sec. 20-42. - Development fees; refunds. (a) Refunds. A refund (or partial refund) will be paid to any current owner of property within the City who submits a written request to the City and demonstrates that: Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 25 of 28 1. The permit(s) that triggered the collection of the development fee have expired or been voided prior to the commencement of the development for which the permits were issued and the development fees collected have not been expended, encumbered, or Pledged for the repayment of Financing or Debt; or 2. The owner of the subject real property or its predecessor in interest paid a development fee for the applicable Category of Necessary Public Services on or after August 1, 2014, and one of the following conditions exists: a. The Capital Facility designed to serve the subject real property has been constructed, has the capacity to serve the subject real property and any development for which there is reserved capacity and the service which was to be provided by that Capital Facility has not been provided to the subject real property from that Capital Facility or from any other Capital Facility. b. After collecting the fee to construct a Capital Facility, the City fails to complete construction of the Capital Facility within the time period identified in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan, as it may be amended, and the corresponding service is otherwise unavailable to the subject real property from that Capital Facility or any other Capital Facility. c. For a Category of Necessary Public Services other than Water Facilities, any part of a development fee is not spent within ten (10) years of the City's receipt of the development fee. d. Any part of a development fee for Water Facilities is not spent within fifteen (15) years of the City's receipt of the development fee. e. The development fee was calculated and collected for the construction cost to

ject real property from that Capital Facility or any other Capital Facility. c. For a Category of Necessary Public Services other than Water Facilities, any part of a development fee is not spent within ten (10) years of the City's receipt of the development fee. d. Any part of a development fee for Water Facilities is not spent within fifteen (15) years of the City's receipt of the development fee. e. The development fee was calculated and collected for the construction cost to provide all or a portion of a specific Capital Facility serving the subject real property and the actual construction costs as certified by the City Manager or his designee for the Capital Facility are less than the construction costs projected in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan by a factor of 10% or more. In such event, the current owner of the subject real property shall, upon request as set forth in this Section A, be entitled to a refund for the difference between the amounts of the development fee charged for and attributable to such construction cost and the amount the development fee would have been calculated to be if the actual construction cost had been included in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan. In performing the recalculation, the City may take into consideration actual construction costs for other improvements serving the subject real property that were included in the Infrastructure Improvements Plan for the same Category of Necessary Public Facilities. The refund contemplated by this Subsection shall relate only to the costs specific to the construction of the applicable Capital Facility and shall not include any related design, administrative, or other costs not directly incurred for construction of the Capital Facility that are included in the development fee as permitted by A.R.S. § 9-463.05. Ordinance No. 2019-21 Page 26 of 28 (b) Earned Interest. A refund of a development fee shall include any interest actually earned on the refunded portion of the development fee by the City from the date of collection to the date of refund. All refunds shall be made to the record owner of the property at the time the refund is paid. (c) Refund to Government. If a development fee was paid by a governmental entity, any refund shall be paid to that governmental entity. (d) Correction of Errors. The City Manager or his designee is hereby authorized and directed to correct any error in the assessment and collection of development fees detected within twenty-four (24) months of the date of the payment of the development fees, including assessing additional development fee amounts or issuing a refund from the appropriate development fee fund(s), to the extent of their authority to do so. If such refund exceeds the authority of the City Manager, it shall be submitted to the City Council for a determination. (e) No Refund for Change of Development. After a development fee has been paid pursuant to this Chapter, no refund of any part of such development fee shall be made if the development for which the development fee was paid is later demolished, destroyed, or is altered, reconstructed, or reconfigured so as to reduce the size of the development, the number of units in the development, or the number of Service Units.
