4. COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION TO STAFF TO PROCEED ON THREE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE WHITE PAPER PRESENTED TO THE TOWN COUNCIL AT THE COUNCIL MEETING ON JUNE 8, 2009 BY THE CAVE CREEK CITIZENS FOR THE FUTURE GROUP.
Placed on the Agenda by Councilman Mozilo, Town of Cave Creek. (Councilman Mozilo is an author of the White Paper)

Council Action Needed: Motion to direct Staff to proceed with three priorities identified in the White Paper: 1) Hiring of a Chief Financial Officer - including researching any needed changes to Town Code to allow for the position and developing a job description for recruiting and hiring in the next fiscal year. 2) bringing the revisions to the Subdivision Approval Process with regard to the Final Plat and Site Plan Review Process. and 3) Begin the process of amending Appendix 'A' of the Zoning Ordinance.

FROM THE WHITE PAPER – PAGE 21:
RECOMMENDATION SIX: “Vigorously pursue Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart has purchased a (residential) 20.5 acre site on the east side of Cave Creek Road, south of the Bullington property. The Town must aggressively pursue Wal-Mart to locate a retail center on that site, resulting in some $3.0 million dollars of annual, net new retail sales taxes to the Town. Specifically, the Town should facilitate submission of appropriate applications by April, 2009. Additionally, the Town should expedite processing of their applications through the Planning Commission and the Town Council and schedule all actions to result in Town Council approval in July, 2009. Spearhead a benefits of Wal-Mart education campaign.
Recommendation six has already started when the Council approved the rezoning. It’s those pesky citizens, who believe in the right of petition to oppose losing their residential zoned neighborhood. Spearhead a benefits of Wal-Mart Education Campaign are being conducted at “Neighborhood meetings” which include the Mayor, Councilmen, Friends of Cave Creek PAC Members and the Wal-Mart Team with a Power Point presentation. We are being vigorously pursued by and with Wal-Mart sponsoring the PAC with $23,000 dollars worth of “in kind contributions” to control of the “Education Campaign.” At these meetings we are being asked to spread the “Gospel” according to Wal-Mart. Very slick and very scary!
FROM THE WHITE PAPER – PAGE 5:
Twenty-nine recommendations are provided in this document to assist the Town during this difficult economic downturn and to put the changes in place that are necessary for the Town to prosper in the future. Today, the Town stands at a fiscal crossroad and its choices are simple: increase the sources of sales tax revenue well beyond the development limitation of the Town Core or institute a property tax (OR BOTH). The time to act is now!

6. Waste Water Treatment Plant no later than June, 2010 to accommodate Wal-Mart and associated commercial development.

Vigorously pursue Wal-Mart to locate a retail center on Cave Creek Road South of Carefree Highway.

7. Complete the Waste Water Treatment Plant no later than June, 2010 to accommodate Wal-Mart and associated commercial development.

FROM THE WHITE PAPER- PAGE 34 / The Waste Water Treatment Plant:
The WWTP must be built in order to attract retail opportunities in the Carefree Highway corridor but present loan terms require debt service payments prior to revenue generation. As outlined in the notes several possibilities exist to bridge this gap and the Committee feels some combination of the possibilities will be required. The opportunities are:
  1. Continue the water and sewer prepayment programs recommended for 2009
  2. Negotiate upfront infrastructure improvement payments from retailers
  3. Negotiate modifications to the terms proposed in the loan agreement for the WWTP such that interest only payments can be made in 2010 and 2011
  4. Implementation of Cave Creek property taxes
FROM THE WHITE PAPER – PAGE 41:
One or MORE of the following sources can address the projected shortfall:
  1. Continuing the water and sewer prepayment programs recommended in 2009
  2. Negotiating upfront infrastructure improvement payments from Wal-Mart at inception of construction
  3. Negotiating modifications to the WIFA WWTP loan to allow interest only payments
  4. IMPLEMENTATION of Town of Cave Creek PROPERTY TAXES
