THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR PROJECT 10-11
[As requested by City Attorney Roric Massey, this item was removed from Consent Agenda and addressed immediately following the Consent Agenda.]
Deputy City Attorney Sarah Chilton presented the third amendment to the Microsoft Infrastructure Development Agreement. The original agreement encompasses 279 acres of land with limited water and sewer infrastructure purchased by Microsoft in 2018. Ms. Chilton explained the accelerated development plan for three buildings as cause for the multiple amendments and modified processes that were permitted for Microsoft to begin development of the project.
She continued to provide details regarding the amendment request which includes a change to the on-site storage development plan at building two, partially due to volume requirements for water being introduced into the wastewater treatment plant, to receive the certificate of occupancy for the second building, and to receive a building permit for the third building. She then outlined the requirements included in the agreement to meet the City and Microsoft needs.
Microsoft representative Cameron Carter, The Rose Law Group, thanked staff, reiterated that the amendment meets all needs of Microsoft, and is excited to continue working with the City of Goodyear.
Council noted they are appreciative of the accommodations made to get the project started on behalf of Microsoft and supports the amendment to finalize the plan in a way that addresses the needs of the City.

Assistant to the City Manager Jenna Goad presented Resolutions 2023-2293 and 2023-2294, approving the submittal of three grant applications to the Gila River Indian Community for the Tribal Gaming Grants Program.

She added that the last request was from Southwest Valley YMCA, asking that the City of Goodyear act as the municipal sponsor for a transportation grant to expand the existing Y OPAS Program for $75,000 over three years.

FY2023 PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT
PROJECTS
Hugh Bigalk, City Traffic Engineer and Brian Harvel, Streets Superintendent presented the expenditure request for the FY 2023 Pavement Management Projects.
Mr. Bigalk provided information on the pavement condition results, which have improved from 68.1% to 76.4% since 2014.
Mr. Harvel explained the two types of treatments planned are asphalt micro surfacing and surface sealing, to treat 72 lane miles of city streets, which will reduce and minimize water intrusion and existing cracking. He added that ADA compliant sidewalk ramp improvements are also planned.
Council praised the team for the hard work that goes in to maintaining such good roads and questioned the funding for the projects. Mr. Bigalk clarified that the General Fund is used for streets projects. The Highway Users Revenue Fund (HURF) is maintained in a separate account but is part of the General Fund.
