Consideration and Approval of License Agreement: National Bank of Arizona License Agreement for temporary use of property for Aquaplex staff parking.

Authorize License Agreement with National Bank of Arizona for temporary use of their property located east of the northeast corner of 4th Street and Route 66 for Aquaplex staff parking through September 30, 2013.

Subsidiary Decisions Points: During construction of the Aquaplex solar parking canopies the eastern portion of the parking lot will be closed off to patron and staff parking.  In order to ensure ample patron parking, Aquaplex staff will be required to park in alternative areas.  Staff will be assigned to a specified parking area based on their work schedule. Staff's safety is of utmost concern.  The National Bank of Arizona property located east of the northeast corner of 4th Street and Route 66 would provide the safest parking alternative.  The route to and from the lot has a pedestrian crosswalk and is better lit than all alternative parking areas.

The National Bank of Arizona is requesting a $1,000 fee for the use of the lot through September 30, 2013.  All costs related to the solar project are financed.

Effective governance.

Yes.

1. Approve the License Agreement. Recommended.
2. Do not approve the License Agreement. Impact: Aquaplex staff will be required to park along Horizon Lane.  The north Industrial Lane sidewalk to Horizon Lane does not have street lighting nor does Horizon Lane.  Staff ending their shift in the evenings will have to walk in the dark greatly increasing concerns over safety. 

In November 2009, staff was directed to develop renewable energy systems on City properties. In March 2010, a solar installation contract was awarded to Ameresco (formerly APS Energy Services). Phase 1 and 2 installed three (3) solar systems to date totaling 862 kilowatts (kW). Phase 3 will install solar at the Aquaplex, Rio de Flag Wastewater Treatment Facility,and Wildcat Wastewater Treatment Facility for a total of 802 kW. Construction is scheduled to begin July 8, 2013 through September 30, 2013.

Aquaplex staff are on site from 5:00 AM - 10:00 PM. At peak schedule more than 35 employees are working at the facility.  To maintain ample patron parking Aquaplex staff will be required to park in alternative locations. Staff needs an accessible and safe alternative. The National Bank of Arizona lot is the best option available.

Construction information will be posted in the Aquaplex lobby and a postcard will be mailed to all Aquaplex members about the parking disruption.
