Sep 17, 2026 City Council Meeting 09/17/2026

YEAR, AND MORE THAN 12,000 WILL LOSE THEIR LIVES.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

UM, I'M A LONG TIME RESIDENT OF THIS TOWN, 43 YEARS, AND I WANNA SAY THAT I HAVE GROWN.

I WAS JUST TELLING BRANDON AND RACHEL HOW MUCH I'VE GROWN TO LOVE THIS TOWN.

AND THE FACT THAT YOU WOULD HONOR OVARIAN CANCER IS SO DEAR TO MY HEART RIGHT NOW.

UM, I, THE NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

YOU SHARED THEM IN THE PROCLAMATION THAT WE SUBMITTED, AND WE ALL HAVE PEOPLE.

I HAD GRANDMA ROSE WHO DIED OF THIS DISEASE.

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO I TALKED TO TODAY IN THE HOSPITAL WITH THIS DISEASE, NOT SURE IF SHE'S GONNA MAKE IT.

AND I HAVE MY DEAR FRIEND RACHEL, WHO GOT ME ON THIS CAMPAIGN WITH HER.

UM, I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR, BUT NOT AN OVARIAN CANCER SURVIVOR.

AND I VERY MUCH BELIEVE IN THIS CAUSE AND THE PROCLAMATIONS.

SHE HAS MANAGED TO ARRANGE 123 PROCLAMATIONS IN TOWNS, CITIES, AND STATES.

AND I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE WORKING WITH HER AND SUPPORTING THIS IMPORTANT CAUSE.

LET ME TURN THIS TO HER.

HI, MY NAME IS RACHEL SACKETT PUTTMAN, AND I'M HERE AS A STAGE THREE OVARIAN CANCER SURVIVOR, THRIVER AND ADVOCATE, AND AS A PROUD ARIZONA RESIDENT OF THE PAST 20 YEARS.

THANK YOU MAYOR HARKY AND THE ENTIRE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHANDLER FOR ONCE AGAIN, RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER AS OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, ARIZONA IS WHERE I BUILT MY ADULT LIFE, MY MARRIAGE, AND MY CAREER, AND MY SURVIVORSHIP.

SO RECEIVING THIS PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY OF CHANDLER IS SO DEEPLY MEANINGFUL TO ME.

OVARIAN CANCER IS ONE OF THE DEADLIEST CANCERS AFFECTING WOMEN, YET IT REMAINS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERFUNDED AND LEAST MISUNDERSTOOD.

OVER 21,000 WOMEN IN THE US WILL BE DIAGNOSED THIS

[00:10:01]

THAT'S ALMOST A 60% MORTALITY RATE.

MOST WOMEN ARE DIAGNOSED AT ADVANCED STAGES BECAUSE SYMPTOMS ARE VAGUE AND THERE IS NO EARLY DETECTION TEST.

FOR MANY OF US, THAT LACK OF AWARENESS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CATCHING CANCER EARLY AND FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES.

I WAS DIAGNOSED AT 38 WITH A RARE SUBTYPE CALLED LOW GRADE SERO OVARIAN CANCER, A CHRONIC DISEASE WITH NO STANDARD OF CARE AND AN 85% RECURRENCE RATE.

LIKE MANY WOMEN, I LOST MY ABILITY TO HAVE BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN, DREAMS MY HUSBAND AND I HADN'T YET FULFILLED.

AND THIS YEAR I SUFFERED SOME VERY DEEP LOSSES TO THIS DISEASE, LOSSES THAT WEIGH HEAVILY.

AND REMIND ME WHY AWARENESS IS SO URGENTLY NEEDED.

EVERY TEAL LIGHT, EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA MESSAGE, AND EVERY PROCLAMATION, INCLUDING THIS ONE, HELPS SOMEONE RECOGNIZE SYMPTOMS EARLIER AND BRINGS A MUCH NEEDED AWARENESS TO THIS INSIDIOUS DISEASE.

THESE ACTION TRULY SAVE LIVES AND HONOR THE WOMEN WE'VE LOST FAR TOO SOON.

THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH SURVIVORS, HONORING THE WOMEN WE'VE LOST AND HELPING TO PROTECT FAMILIES ACROSS THE CITY OF CHANDLER IN THE GREAT STATE OF ARIZONA.

YOUR CONTINUED LEADERSHIP MAKES A REAL AND LASTING DIFFERENCE.

TOGETHER WE CAN SHINE A LIGHT ON THIS GRAVELY OVERLOOKED DISEASE AND GIVE HOPE TO THE WOMEN AND FAMILIES WHO NEED IT MOST.

LET'S DO A PHOTO.

I'D LIKE TO GET YOU RIGHT IN FRONT OF HERE.

YOU'LL BE THE CENTERPIECE.

SAY HI TO STEVE FOR ME.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR, OUR SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.

ON OUR AGENDA IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.

THANK YOU RACHEL AND SANDRA, YOU ARE NOT JUST SURVIVORS, YOU ARE THRIVERS.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY FOR FAMILIES, FOR WOMEN ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY, STATE AND NATION COUNCIL.

UH, NEXT

COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS? YES.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS A PUBLIC HEARING

[ Public Hearing]

AND THERE IS, UM, SOMETHING I NEED TO READ IN REFLECTION OF A NEW STATE LAW TO COMPLY WITH A RECENT CHANGE TO STATE LAW.

ANY PARTY WHO GIVES TESTIMONY OR WHO SUBMITS WRITTEN COMMENTS TO CITY COUNCIL AS PART OF A PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH WE'RE ABOUT TO DO ON A ZONING ISSUE, SHALL DECLARE WHETHER THE PARTY HAS RECEIVED COMPENSATION IN ANY FORM TO TESTIFY OR SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AT THIS HEARING.

SO WITH THAT, LET'S PROCEED WITH PUBLIC HEARING FOR A NX 26 DASH 0 0 0 2 ANNEXATION OF THREE PARCELS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY 4.42 ACRES LOCATED EAST OF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF COOPER ROAD AND VIA DE PALMAS, UH, OPENING THIS PUBLIC HEARING.

TAYLOR MANAM.

THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 4.42 ACRES CONSISTING OF THREE PARCELS IN MARICOPA COUNTY.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.

UH, AS SAID BEFORE YOU, TODAY IS ANNEXATION A NX 26 DASH TWO.

THE SUBJECT SITES LOCATED NEAR, UH, JUST EAST OF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF COOPER AND VIA DE PALMAS.

SURROUNDING THE SITE TO THE NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST ARE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, AND THEN TO THE WEST IS AGRICULTURAL LAND.

AND THEN, UH, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

[00:15:02]

UPON, UH, ANNEXATION, IT WILL RECEIVE ZONING OF AG ONE AND ITS CURRENT ZONING IS RU 43 IN THE COUNTY.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS CURRENTLY GOING, UH, CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A REZONE IN PD DP APPLICATION, PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION.

UM, BOTH ARE IN REVIEW AND WILL BE FORTHCOMING TO COUNCIL IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS FOR A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION.

UH, FEATURING 53 HOMES ACROSS A LARGER 12.6 ACRE SITE.

THE DEVELOPER IS KHO MANIAN AND THE HOMES WILL BE FOR SALE PRODUCT.

THE GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION OF THE PROPERTY IS NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE CITY WILL PROVIDE WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES TO THE PROPERTY STAFF HAS CIRCULATED THE REQUEST TO CITY DEPARTMENTS AND NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, TAYLOR.

COUNSEL, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS RELATED TO THIS PUBLIC HEARING? SEEING NONE.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION FROM THE AUDIENCE? AGAIN, SEEING NONE, I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU, TAYLOR, FOR THE PRESENTATION.

AND COUNCIL, WE HAVE ONE, UH, ITEM ON ACTION.

AND THIS IS SOMEWHAT UNIQUE AS AGAIN, AS A RESULT OF A STATE, UH, LAW CHANGE THAT REQUIRES ANY ITEM THAT IS DISCUSSED IN EXEC SESSION AFTER WE JUST MET THE DATE.

IS THAT RIGHT? UM, CITY ATTORNEY.

THAT'S CORRECT.

UH, MR. MAYOR, ANYTHING THAT'S ON AN EXECUTIVE SESSION CAN'T BE ON A CONSENT AGENDA.

IT NEEDS TO BE ON A SEPARATE AGENDA ITEM.

YEAH, I THINK WE, THAT JUST WAS AS OF THIS WEEK.

SO HAD WE, UH, HAD THAT EXEC SESSION A WEEK AGO, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TOO.

CORRECT.

THAT LAW WENT INTO EFFECT ON SEPTEMBER 12TH.

VERY GOOD.

SO, UH, AS A RESULT OF THIS, THE, UM, THE, UH, RESOLUTION NUMBER 60 34 AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONE CHANDLER OWNER AND THE CITY, UM, IS ON ACTION.

I HEARD FROM AT LEAST ONE COUNCIL MEMBER THAT YOU WANTED, UH, A BRIEF PRESENTATION.

IS THAT CORRECT? COUNCIL MEMBER POSTON? UH, YES.

MAYOR, THANK YOU.

I JUST, I JUST THINK THIS IS A PROJECT TO BE PROUD OF AND A LONG TIME COMING, AND I WOULD LIKE TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT IT.

GREAT.

KIM MOYERS, COME ON UP.

YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE SLIDES FOR US.

KIM IS OUR CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL.

MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ORIENTING, UM, THIS PROJECT TO OUR $20 MILLION INVESTMENT IN DR.

AM MAYOR COUNCIL, UH, THE ITEM THAT IS BEFORE YOU IS A PROJECT, UM, ON SITE SEVEN THAT WE CALL, UH, IS ONE CHANDLER IN OCTOBER OF 22.

WE DID, UH, COUNCIL SIGNED A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH JACKSON DEARBORN PARTNERS BACK IN 2024.

THEY DID ASK FOR A ONE YEAR EXTENSION.

SINCE THAT TIME, THEY DID COMPLETE THEIR REZONING WITH THE PAD THAT INCLUDED 291 MULTIFAMILY UNITS, 13,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE, 16,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL, AND 612 SELF-CONTAINED PARKING SPACES.

THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TODAY IS NEGOTIATED DEAL POINTS REASSIGNING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO SHELTER ASSET MANAGEMENT, ALSO KNOWN AS SAM.

IT ALSO EXTENDS AND UPDATES THE CONSTRUCTION DEADLINES.

WE DO, WE WILL SEE SOME SLIGHT DESIGN MODIFICATIONS, BUT THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE APPROVED A DR.

AND THERE IS ALSO AN ADDED BENEFIT THAT SHOULD THEY NOT MOVE FORWARD, WHICH WE HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE, THEY WILL, UH, WE DO HAVE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE THEIR PROPERTY, UM, AS A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

SO THE UPDATED TIMELINES INCLUDE WITHIN 20 DAYS AFTER CLOSING ON THE LAND, THEY WILL BEGIN, UH, THE INITIATION OF THE UTILITY RELOCATION WORK, SENDING IN THE DESIGNS TO THE AFFECTED UTILITY COMPANIES.

AT NINE MONTHS, THEY WILL HAVE A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THEIR CIVIL PLANS FOR BOTH ONSITE AND OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED BY MAY OF 2028.

THEY'LL HAVE A COMPLETION OF THEIR MINIMUM IMPROVEMENTS WITH THE FIRST TOWER BEING COMPLETE IN SEPTEMBER OF 29, AND THEIR SECOND TOWER COMPLETE IN, UH, SEPTEMBER OF 2030.

YOU CAN SEE A FEW OF THE UPDATES THAT THEY ARE SUGGESTING.

SOME OF THE ENHANCED FEATURES INCLUDE A ROOFTOP POOL, UM, A GATHERING SPACE AT THE TOP FITNESS CENTER OVERLOOKING ARIZONA AVENUE MONUMENT SIGNAGE AND CANTILEVER PATIOS.

I WAS ALSO EXCITED TO NOTE THAT THEY WANTED THE PARK DRAWINGS THAT THEY WANNA

[00:20:01]

AJ CHANDLER PARK AS WELL.

AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBER POSTON? SURE.

JUST KIM, WHEN, WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT, UM, I, AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE RUNS AT THIS AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE A VERY, UM, I WOULD SAY GOOD PARTNER IN THIS PROJECT, I THINK MM-HMM .

AND I WAS HOPING THAT YOU COULD SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO MAYBE WHAT MAKES THIS COMPANY UNIQUE AND SOME OF THE ATTRIBUTES THAT THEY BRING TO THE TABLE.

ABSOLUTELY.

I'LL MENTION A FEW, AND WE DO HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE AS, AS WELL AS BRENDAN RAY, SO I DON'T NEED TO TAKE ALL NIGHT.

I JUST WANTED TO BRAG A LITTLE .

UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, UH, A 69-YEAR-OLD COMPANY.

UM, THEIR PARENT COMPANY IS DREW LOW.

UM, IT JUST HAPPENED BY COINCIDENCE THAT, UH, LAUREN, UH, OUR DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT MANAGER AND I ATTENDED THE INTERNATIONAL DOWNTOWN, UH, ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE IN TORONTO WHERE THEY HAVE, UH, OVER 40,000 UNITS AND WE SPENT ABOUT EIGHT HOURS TOTAL.

UM, LOOKING OVER MANY OF THEIR UNITS, THERE ARE, UH, THEY ARE VERY WELL KNOWN IN THE AREA.

THEY, UM, I'VE BEEN INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED WITH THE PEOPLE THAT THEY PUT IN.

IT'S NOT JUST A PROJECT TO THEM, BUT IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT THEY ACTUALLY HOUSE AND HOW THEY DO THEIR PRICING STRUCTURE AND THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR PEOPLE.

AND I THINK THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT, UM, THAN SOME THAT WE SEE.

AND THEY'RE VERY COMMITTED TO DOWNTOWN CHANDLER AND HAVE BEEN TO EVERY ONE OF THE WEEKLY PLANNING MEETINGS SINCE WE BEGAN OUR WEEKLY MEETINGS.

THE OWNER IS THERE EVERY SINGLE WEEK, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S VERY UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING TOO, THAT THEIR BUSINESS MODEL IS TO GET PEOPLE INTO THEIR PROPERTY AND PEOPLE STAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

I, THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE SEE IN OTHER PROPERTIES.

ABSOLUTELY.

UM, I, AGAIN, UH, THE OWNERS STU COULD, COULD SPEAK MORE ABOUT THIS, BUT THE AVERAGE TENANT STAYS AT LEAST NINE YEARS.

I THINK THAT'S A VERY HIGH AVERAGE IN THIS AREA.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU KEN.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COUNCIL MEMBER RO THANK YOU.

UH, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU AND STAFF FOR HAVING REALLY BEEN DEDICATED A LOT OF TIME TO THIS PROJECT.

BUT, BUT ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND AND, AND THANK MR. HENSON FOR SAYING YES TO THIS PROJECT.

YES, I KNOW THAT WE WERE AT A PLACE WHERE WE WERE GONNA HAVE TO PULL THIS THING BACK BECAUSE, UH, NUMEROUS OTHER PROJECT IN THE DOWNTOWN CHANDLER DIDN'T PAN OUT, BUT YOU CAME TO THE RESCUE, I WILL SAY TO THE RESCUE AND REALLY MAKE THIS PROJECT YOUR PRIORITY.

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT YOU COULD BE DOING ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT YOU HAVE CHOSEN CHANDLER.

IT'S ALSO TO PROVE THAT WE ARE A CITY OF INNOVATION AND THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE DOING HERE IN DOWNTOWN IS GONNA PROPEL US TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

AND THIS RELATIONSHIP THAT WE JUST STARTED WITH YOU RIGHT NOW, I WILL HOPE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD IT WHEN YOUR JET COME TO, TO BE AT OUR AIRPORT.

WE WILL DEFINITELY BE READY FOR IT AND CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU AGAIN, SIR, FOR SAYING YES TO THIS.

CANADA IS ALL , IT'S ALL IN.

COUNCILS FROM ORLANDO.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

AND, UM, I DO WANNA ECHO THAT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, KIM.

MM-HMM .

I THINK YOU PROMISED ME BEFORE YOU RETIRE YOU'RE GONNA GET THIS CORNER BUILT .

WELL, DON'T RETIRE THOUGH.

ALRIGHT.

I'M NOT HOLDING TO THAT .

UM, IT'S BEEN ABOUT AT LEAST 20 YEARS AT LEAST FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER.

IT HAS, THANK YOU.

UM, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING ABOUT THIS PROPERTY, IT'S A HUGE INVESTMENT TO OUR DOWNTOWN.

$30 MILLION OF AVERAGE ANNUAL BUDGET EXPENDITURES.

IT'S, AND I KNOW THEY'LL BE A PART OF THE DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY.

UH, KIM, DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THE INVESTMENT THAT THIS, THESE FOLKS ARE LAYING OUT TO OUR, THAT THEY BELIEVE IN OUR COMMUNITY SO MUCH THAT THEY WANNA INVEST IN THIS COMMUNITY AND IT'S A PRETTY GOOD, UM, FIGURE? ABSOLUTELY.

UH, SOME OF THE NUMBERS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TOGETHER, UH, WE'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S $130 MILLION PROJECT.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE COMMUNITY? WE KNOW FOR OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, THEY WILL HAVE, UH, ABOUT 200 FULL-TIME STAFF ON SITE AT ALL TIMES.

THOSE ARE PEOPLE SPENDING MONEY SPENT IN OUR DOWNTOWN AND IN OUR AREA.

UM, ABOUT 50% OF THOSE WILL ACTUALLY BE SAM EMPLOYEES.

SO THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS AND BRINGING THEIR EMPLOYEES HERE.

WE KNOW PERMITTING FEES ALONE ARE GONNA BE ABOUT $4 MILLION THAT ARE GONNA BE PUT INTO OUR REVENUES.

IT'S GONNA CREATE SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF A HUNDRED RETAIL NEW JOBS AND BETWEEN SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 70 AND 85 OFFICE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE AGAIN, UH, JUST GONNA KEEP REAPING THAT, UM, UH, GENERATING THAT INCOME.

WHILE WE DID NOT DO AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PROJECT, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO INCENTIVES INVOLVED, WE HAVE TAKEN A LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS IN THE AREA AND WE KNOW FOR A PROJECT THIS SIZE THAT THIS SHOULD GENERATE APPROXIMATELY

[00:25:01]

SO WITH ALL OF THE NEW PEOPLE IN, UH, IN DOWNTOWN SPENDING THEIR MONEY RIGHT HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY, IT WILL BE A BENEFIT FOR OUR, FOR CHANDLER.

AND, YOU KNOW, AND WE MET THESE INDIVIDUALS ALREADY IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO.

UH, I APPRECIATE THE INVESTMENT, THANK YOU FOR INVESTING IN OUR, OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, AND, AND, AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS THEY'RE HERE TO STAY AND HOPEFULLY WE COULD DO ADDITIONAL WORK.

SO THANK YOU.

COUNCIL, I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING I DON'T ALWAYS DO IS I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION.

I USUALLY RESERVE THAT FOR COUNCIL, BUT I BELIEVE IN THIS COMPANY, BELIEVE IN THE PROJECT.

UH, B BRENDAN, THIS MIGHT BE THE FIRST TIME YOU EVER HEARD ME DO THAT .

SO, UH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 60 34, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONE CHANDLER OWNER AND THE CITY OF CHANDLER AND APPROVING AN ASSIGNMENT OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO SAM C-D-T-I-L-L-C.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

I'LL SECOND IT AGAIN BECAUSE, UH, I SECOND IT EARLIER.

ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS.

EVERYONE'S PRETTY MUCH SAID COUNCIL, PLEASE VOTE.

COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

VERY GOOD.

COUNCIL

[13. Unscheduled Public Appearances]

NEXT.

I HAVE TWO UNSCHEDULED PUBLIC APPEARANCE CARDS.

I WILL CALL THEM UP IN THE ORDER PRESENTED TO ME.

THE FIRST IS, UM, IS JAGA ZEN.

I'M SORRY, Y GOT YOUR, I CAN'T READ THIS TOTALLY, BUT PLEASE COME UP.

STATE YOUR CITY OF RESIDENCE.

YOU HAVE UP TO THREE MINUTES TO SHARE WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND.

COUNCIL CANNOT ENGAGE YOU BECAUSE THIS IS UNSCHEDULED.

SIR, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS ZENKO.

I LIVE HERE IN CHANDLER ON THIS CONSTITUTION DAY.

IT'S IMPORTANT NOT JUST TO HAVE A CELEBRATORY MOOD ABOUT OUR RIGHTS, BUT ALSO RECOGNIZE WHEN THEY ARE IMPLICATED AND WHEN IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAFEGUARD THEM EVEN WHEN IT IS INCONVENIENT ALL ACROSS THE NATION.

WE ARE SEEING HOW MASS SURVEILLANCE IS STARTING TO RUN INTO THOSE RIGHTS.

OUR SUPREME COURT IS GOING AGAINST THE MASS COLLECTION OF CELL PHONE DATA, SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IT SHOWS EVERYONE'S LOCATION WITHOUT A WARRANT.

IN FACT, FLOCK CAMERAS ARE COMING UNDER BIPARTISAN FI FEDERAL INVESTIGATION FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON.

AND THAT IS WHY CHANDLER MADE THE RICE CHOICE IN DISCONTINUING FLOCK CAMERAS BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD BE SURVEILLED WITHOUT A WARRANT.

AND THAT IS WHAT THE FOURTH AMENDMENT ULTIMATELY SHOWS.

AND AMONG OTHER THINGS.

UM, AND SO THE REACTION THAT WE ARE SEEING TO THAT IN THE VALLEY, UM, IS WE ARE OBVIOUSLY SEEING FLOCK CAMERAS BE TAKEN DOWN, UH, ACROSS OTHER CITIES, BUT THAT SURVEILLANCE IS BEING SLOWLY REINTRODUCED BY STEALTH.

I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE FROM THE CITY OF GILBERT.

THIS IS A TOWN WHERE RESIDENTS OPPOSED FLOCK CAMERAS BY A 400 TO 104 TO ONE RATIO.

AND YET THAT'S A TOWN COUNCIL, UH, INTRODUCED, UM, AXON FLEET THREE CAMERAS, WHICH ARE ALPS MOUNTED ON POLICE CARS, UM, AND IN A BY UNANIMOUS MOTION THIS MONDAY.

AND SO THE REASON I MENTION THIS IS IT'S VERY EASY TO END UP IN THE SAME PLACE THAT WE WERE.

UM, I TRY TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE, UH, VARIOUS AGENDAS.

UM, UNFORTUNATELY, UH, MAYBE THE CITY CURLER CAN HELP WITH THIS.

THE SEARCH FUNCTION IS BROKEN.

SO I HAD TO MANUALLY GO THROUGH ALL THE AGENDAS TO SEE, UH, WHAT THE NATURE OF OUR AXON CONTRACT IS.

AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE HAVE FLEET CAMERAS AND WHETHER THEY'RE CONFIGURED TO ACT AS LICENSE PLATE READERS.

I OBVIOUSLY OPPOSE THIS, BUT WE CAN GET INTO THE DETAILS LATER.

BUT EVEN IF PHYSICAL HARDWARE IS NOT USED TO REINTRODUCE A LPR TECHNOLOGY TO CHANDLER, THERE IS ANOTHER LOOPHOLE THAT MAY BE COMING FOR US PEREGRINE SOFTWARE.

WHAT PEREGRINE SOFTWARE DOES IS TAKE FOR EXAMPLE, A RED LIGHT CAMERA AND TURN IT INTO A FLOCK CAMERA BY ON THE BACK END DOING THE A LPR ANALYSIS.

I WILL FOR THE COUNCIL'S INFORMATION, SAY THAT PEREGRINE SOFTWARE WAS PURCHASED BY CHANDLER IN DECEMBER OF 2025.

SO I WOULD ALSO, YOU KNOW, LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.

THE RESULT IS THREE CONCRETE STEPS THAT THIS COUNCIL CAN DO TO SAFEGUARD NOT JUST OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, WHICH YOU'RE HELPING OUT WITH HERE TODAY, BUT ALSO OUR FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

FIRST, PLEASE DIRECT CHANDLER'S, UH, POLICE TO STOP RESPONDING TO FOIA REQUESTS WITH ENORMOUS STACKS OF PAPER THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE WHEN WE ARE GO TRYING TO GO THROUGH DATABASES.

SECOND, PLEASE TELL US WHETHER AXON FLEET THREE CAMERAS ARE IN CHANDLER AND IF THEY'RE ACTING AS ALPS.

AND FINALLY, TELL US WHAT PEREGRINE IS DOING.

AND ARE, ARE, IS THAT SOFTWARE TURNING ALL THE LIGHT RED LIGHT CAMERAS INTO FLOCK CAMERAS? I UNDERSTAND WE ARE ALL TRYING TO DO OUR BEST HERE.

THERE ARE ALWAYS DIFFICULT DECISIONS TO BE WEIGH HERE.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE CONSENT AGENDA JUST, UH, WENT THROUGH CELEBRATE SOFTWARE, WHICH I MAY NOT BE COMFORTABLE WITH, BUT IS, UH, KIND OF A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

BUT OVERALL WE MUST PR PRESERVE OUR FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT CONVENIENT AND EVEN WHEN IT INVOLVES DIGGING INTO THINGS THAT APPEAR TO ALREADY BE SETTLED.

TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH US.

NEXT UP IS NOAH JAMES MARKHAM.

NOAH, PLEASE STATE YOUR CITY OF RESIDENCE.

YOU HAVE UP TO THREE MINUTES

[00:30:01]

ALOHA MAYOR AND TO THE REST OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS NOAH JAMES MARKHAM, AND I'M FROM THE GREAT CITY OF TEMPE.

SO THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I TALKED ABOUT I WAS THE ONLY DEMOCRAT THAT SUPPORTS FLOCK AND LICENSE PLATE READERS AND TO THE NEWS CHANNELS THAT SAID THERE WAS NO ONE FOR THE FLOCK CAMERAS.

AND CHANDLER, YOU'RE FALSELY WRONG FOR WHAT YOU SAID ON THE NEWS ABOUT FLOCK CAMERAS AND CHANDLER.

SO I KEEP ON HEARING THAT FLOCK WITH THE MIS FLEET INFORMATION AND THOSE CAMERAS WILL PICK UP ILLEGAL ALIENS, WHICH IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.

IT, IT DOESN'T IT CAN ONLY SEE THE LICENSE PLATE.

AND PLEASE, WHOEVER IS OPERATING THESE FLOCK CAMERAS DO NOT BE A PERP.

ALSO, I, I'VE KIND OF, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WE'RE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE FLOCK CAMERAS SO MUCH, BUT YOU KNOW, GOD IS BIGGER THAN A FLOCK CAMERA.

AND I KEEP ON TELLING PEOPLE THIS, YOU KNOW, YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE IN GOD, BUT HE IS HIGHER THAN THAT FLOCK CAMERA .

SO FUNNY.

SO YES, I I'M FOR THE POLICE FORCE AND I'M HERE FOR SAFETY.

KEEPING HOMELESS OFF OUR STREETS AND KEEPING OUR CITY SAFE AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR POLICE ARE OUT THERE ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY SUNDAYS TO KEEP, MAKE SURE DOWNTOWN CHANDLER IS SAFE AND CLUBS ARE SAFE.

AND YES, DEMOCRATS, I KNOW YOU KEEP THINGS SAFE AND NOT MAKE THE DOWN THE TOWN TRASHY.

SO LET'S NOT BE THAT DEMOCRAT THAT LIKES A TOWN, TRASHY TOWN.

I ALSO ASK THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE EXTEND THE CREEK, THE STREETCAR HERE AND CHANDLER INSTEAD OF THE LIGHT RAIL AND MORE BUS ROUTES IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HERE AND CLEAN THOSE SEWER SYSTEMS ON THE STREET.

ALSO, I AM WONDERING IF YOU GUYS COULD PUT A MOJI STORE HERE AT THE CHA MA.

IT'S A BIG STORE OF, UH, JAPANESE STUFF AND KEEP TRANS WOMEN AT A WOMAN'S SPORTS.

THAT'S WHY THEY ARE CALLED TRANS WOMEN.

THEY ARE MEN.

MAHALO AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME.

THANK YOU NOAH.

NEXT UP

[ Current Events 1. Mayor's Announcements 2. Council's Announcements 3. City Manager's Announcements]

WE USED THE OPPORTUNITY WHEN WE WERE THERE AS WELL TO TAKE THE BULLET TRAIN TO VISIT OUR FRIENDSHIP CITY, CITY T END, WHERE WE ARE LOOKING AT EXTENDING

[00:35:01]

RELATIONSHIPS AS WELL AS DEVELOPING MORE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES BETWEEN OUR CITIES.

AS CHANDLER EVOLVES AND THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY BECOMES AN ECONOMIC BLOCK OF CHANDLER'S CONTINUED SUCCESS, THESE TYPES OF EVENTS ARE IMPORTANT FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY, OF OUR REGION, AND OF OUR STATE.

THANKS, MAYOR.

I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT AN EVENT I ATTENDED TODAY ALONG WITH YOU MAYOR, WHO MADE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

I WANTED TO THANK THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION.

THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB HOSTING A PRESENTATION TO SMALL BUSINESSES ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST NOT THAT OFTEN THAT YOU GET EXPERTISE IN THE ROOM LIKE THAT TO BE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND TO MAKE PRESENTATIONS.

SO I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE FULLER IP LAW ATTORNEYS AS WELL FOR TAKING THEIR TIME.

AND WHAT WAS REALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, I I ATTENDED BOTH AS A COUNCIL MEMBER AND A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER MYSELF, AND LEARNED A GREAT DEAL.

BUT WHAT WAS REALLY GREAT TO SEE WAS THE NUMBER OF SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO TOOK TIME OUTTA THE MIDDLE OF THEIR DAY TO COME AND ATTEND THIS, WHICH JUST SHOWS US THERE'S A NEED AND A SMALL BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM IN CHANDLER.

AND I WAS JUST REALLY APPRECIATIVE AND GRATEFUL TO SEE THEM BEING SERVED IN THAT WAY.

BECAUSE WE CALL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS THRIVERS.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

WE ARE ASKING EVERYONE TO HELP US MAKE CHANDLER ROADS SAFER.

IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THERE HAVE BEEN 16 THOUSANDS CRASHES IN THE STREET OF CHANDLER.

THAT'S WHY CHANDLER IS UNDERTAKING A ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN.

BUT WE NEED YOUR INPUT TO REDUCE THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF CRASHES ACROSS THE CITY.

VISIT CHANDLER AZ.GOV BACKLASH SAFETY STREET, CHANDLER AZ.GOV/SAFETY STREET TO LEARN MORE.

WE ARE INVITING EVERYONE TO TAKE THE SURVEY AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK YOUR VOICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE AND HELP OUR ROAD HELPS OUR ROADS TO BE SAFER.

THE NEXT ONE I HAVE IS A KIM LIGHT VISUAL THAT I HAVE FIVE YEARS AGO AS ONE OF MY INITIATIVE HERE IN THE CITY OF CHANDLER.

I WILL BE HOSTING A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VIGIL HERE IN THE CITY HALL, RIGHT HERE IN THE BACK COURTYARD ON OCTOBER 16 AT 6:00 PM WE'LL HAVE COMMUNITY LEADERS AND NONPROFIT PARTNERS IN ATTENDANCE TO SHARE RESOURCES, AND WE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THE COURAGE OF THRIVERS

UM, I DO JUST WANT TO EXTEND A THANK YOU TO MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL CITY STAFF, VOLUNTEERS AND VENDORS WHO ATTENDED OUR HISPANIC HERITAGE KICKOFF, UM, EVENT THIS PAST WEEKEND.

OUR CONTIGO EVENT HAS BECOME ONE OF OUR SIGNATURE EVENTS HERE IN CHANDLER, AND IT BEGAN IN, I BELIEVE, IN 2021.

UM, OR, OR STOP CAN, UH, CORRECT ME ON THAT ONE.

BUT EVERY YEAR, EVERY YEAR IT HAS, UH, GROWN AND EVOLVED BIGGER AND BIGGER.

AND THIS YEAR WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAD A COLLABORATION WITH EAST VALLEY HISPANIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE CITY OF CHANDLER, AND THE MEXICAN CONSULATE HERE IN PHOENIX, WHICH IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT EVENT.

SO I WANT TO THANK THOSE ORGANIZATIONS AND I WANT TO THANK THE HONORABLE JORGE SKAS, UM, THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONSULATE COMING OUT TO DO THE, UH, RITO CEREMONY.

IT WAS A GREAT EVENT WELL ATTENDED, AND AS I SAID, THIS CONTINUES TO GROW BIGGER AND BIGGER EVERY YEAR.

SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR.

BUT BEFORE THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE STILL HAVE A LOT MORE EVENTS GOING ON THROUGH THE NEXT MONTH, UH, FOR, UM, OUR CONTIGO LINEUP.

SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT, UM, CHANDLER.GOV/CONTIGO TO CHECK OUT ANY OF OUR FUTURE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON, SPECIFICALLY IN OUR LIBRARIES AND OUR VISION GALLERY.

WE HAVE THE A LOS STO CELEBRATION COMING UP AND THE MARIACHI AND PRO CORTICO FESTIVAL COMING UP AS WELL NEXT MONTH.

SO HELP US CELEBRATE AND JOIN IN ON THE FUND FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH.

THANK YOU VICE MAYOR.

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY THE NEXT TWO NIGHTS ON SUNDAY, ACTUALLY, AND TUESDAY TO ATTEND TWO MORE ELTO EVENTS AND THE SPONSORS WERE STILL RAVING ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVED DOING IT IN CHANDLER OUTSIDE THERE AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT VENUE.

SO THANK YOU COUNCIL AND STAFF FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND LEADERSHIP.
