A councilmember described the roadway as a long, winding stretch where drivers had struck back walls multiple times over the years. Staff installed temporary Jersey barriers within 48 hours while working on a longer-term fix, the councilmember said, and thanked transportation and other departments for coordinating the response.

The councilmember noted that some traffic-calming measures, such as speed bumps, can impede emergency vehicles and that staff has consulted legal and transportation teams to identify workable solutions. The remarks acknowledged the complexity of balancing resident safety with service access.

No formal directive or vote was recorded; councilmembers used their reports to thank staff and to note that a final solution is under study.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Surprise City Regular City Council Meeting - June 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Councilmembers commended city staff for quickly installing temporary Jersey barriers and pursuing a final solution to recurring crashes on Northwest Ranch Road; transportation and legal considerations influenced options discussed.","taxTitle","Surprise, Maricopa County, Arizona","taxId",2566,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6212400,"Council: intergovernmental park agreement finalized; staff to develop park master plan for Surprise’s 3,502 acres",152,2133000,2285000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3685456-5cf7c6a7397e7bca00ad561d0f83d58e&start=2133&end=2285","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3685456-5cf7c6a7397e7bca00ad561d0f83d58e/thumbnail_2133000.jpg","/articles/6212400/Surprise/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Council-intergovernmental-park-agreement-finalized-staff-to-develop-park-master-plan-for-Surprises-3502-acres","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212400-a61a0bd175aeb74d89dea2a266fb5d33/orig.mp4?Expires=1775734694&Signature=U6-Z6jITt1QVq010Rx7FtKEE0S67iWPiLtUlKH7mcM1pqSOydfm9b~7zUSiiFw2wNcL86nYotwRkQShq4I1g7-4x30TflKOP8oRpRw6hpxwXp4yJJMYMkwnKKNd7rnoe~w8mCAyO~Ll1Q5mLRoqfdokjb74N9l3Oyvyp04qcD6FG5izKAasEdTi2K4ZBUVHVgE9kzBcRiEaGlNbKhzbMXzNjx9zgJA9zfrWZdW9oJ0rZmZp5mu5sFjgN7u11IIy2F1ykO7Q37wNkrnf3xxWDvVwTLPS1DIXyQV~RlXEkwBKTCns7OIydPFMJtIhc~r9vDru3QUnjwa7g5brOWS0QFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Councilmembers said on June 3 that an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) transferring park responsibilities has been completed and that city parks staff will begin planning a park master plan covering the city's parkland.

Councilman Judd told the council that the board of supervisors meeting the day after the prior council session resulted in the city receiving the keys to the park and that \"Holly now has the keys to the park. It's a done deal.\" Judd said staff member Holly will assemble a master plan and ideas for how the city will use roughly 3,502 acres of parkland to guide future development and programming.

Separately, council and staff discussed the recently opened Oasis Swim Center and a council request for a future workshop on the city's recreation needs. One councilmember asked the recreation department to bring data and recommendations on facility needs and expansion options so the council can plan for fields and facilities that meet the needs of a growing city.

The remarks were presented as councilmember reports and future-agenda requests; no formal vote on the park master plan or a specific funding measure was taken at the June 3 meeting.","Councilmembers said an intergovernmental agreement transferring park responsibilities is signed, Holly (parks staff) now has the keys to the park, and staff will prepare a park master plan and recommendations for park and recreation facilities.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6212404,"Arts and Culture commission pitches joint Center for the Arts partnership with Dysart Unified School District",121,1369000,1490000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3685456-5cf7c6a7397e7bca00ad561d0f83d58e&start=1369&end=1490","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3685456-5cf7c6a7397e7bca00ad561d0f83d58e/thumbnail_1369000.jpg","/articles/6212404/Surprise/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Arts-and-Culture-commission-pitches-joint-Center-for-the-Arts-partnership-with-Dysart-Unified-School-District","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212404-ef71b674e43d69a956eab7a060d69551/orig.mp4?Expires=1775734694&Signature=PZyEUyTvP4DmKHv00PtYqLtYTA0o7V874k0SBqSZqtrEfdgY-Nyf84kM9Wb9-XlaOPBk1Q6lCM702k6M5trnwDI9gyI-m13FcutNSqHGtBeShU16SOF1m~NGSKiG070MSqEw31NynXbLBCuHkn1D5OBU1cRcPPu-pQchdsTOaxJa4nPWj2nIKlZ2zhkDc2WHWxSfKTz0QIFrccTKj2zW9221-XnOueNb3seCSLBR6gMJJAcox4GVkebSFAYdn7omXLupZJvf0JUWCwpZCXeVYogxxmquqwnHtCnX0ELbJwZJt7nb0U8x8UEKbiEGYE~w3cXOIOkrTuSLjHXbXE0UZg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Arts and Cultural Advisory Commission on June 3 told the Surprise City Council that it is pursuing a partnership with the Dysart Unified School District and a proposed Center for the Arts to bring more cultural programming into Surprise.

Dr. Charlotte Pullins, chair of the Arts and Cultural Advisory Commission, said the collaboration is in early stages but has \"incredible\" potential as a shared space for student showcases and professional performances. \"Art belongs to everyone, and this partnership, it moves us closer to making sure everyone in Surprise has a front row seat,\" Pullins said during the council's call to the public.

Pullins noted the partnership would allow residents to attend high-quality performances and a range of cultural programming within the city rather than traveling outside Surprise. She thanked the council for supporting the initiative and said the commission looks forward to developing the project \"to serve generations to come.\"

The presentation was delivered during the call-to-the-public segment of the June 3 meeting; no formal council action on the item was recorded.","The Arts and Cultural Advisory Commission told the Surprise City Council it is developing a partnership with Dysart Unified School District and a proposed Center for the Arts to expand local performance and cultural programming.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6212409,"Council approves development agreement requiring off-site roads and multiple wastewater options for Surprise 295 project",345,889000,1234000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3685456-5cf7c6a7397e7bca00ad561d0f83d58e&start=889&end=1234","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3685456-5cf7c6a7397e7bca00ad561d0f83d58e/thumbnail_889000.jpg","/articles/6212409/Surprise/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Council-approves-development-agreement-requiring-off-site-roads-and-multiple-wastewater-options-for-Surprise-295-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212409-b85558f714217e57fbc18e15e8a8e984/orig.mp4?Expires=1775734694&Signature=gF3k0FjzAHKvLwPnktry6hGxCzNB7WWIowMAtLs9RytH4DIB~QqzOSm4aVU8SOBzYAi-4twuBe-cgoQIXJoOPFf-97V0fGban~QGbxYZluXrQZMuv1tCj-CwbApT7JV3EU16InMl~lW3Jp4ksg1N7~IVfiriGUUxbVT6ICH9kt0ulcevFh3I8ots4Ci12VPPrkaQ~oEBJamgNxDKPW2ekOkYj0Fpezx-ld6nbMCKRBMgGf8s~-EEyxS0vLtD6fkpYvI1DDrfUmT4gUofWJnOVCplAugKGyf5LZN30ffrAlkzRsN-HzB7iFg9sXqpUGaztEVi1XGgkcem-hG-q0deTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Surprise City Council on June 3 unanimously approved Resolution 2025-62, adopting a development agreement for the Surprise 295 project that lays out the developer's obligations for water, wastewater and off-site road improvements.

The agreement requires the developer to provide one of several wastewater and water options — including dedicating a well and transmission lines to connect to the Surprise Foothills supply, establishing an emergency interconnect with Buckeye, or acquiring capacity in or participating in expansion of the SPA 2 / SPA 3 wastewater treatment facilities — and to construct a roadway tie-in from the project parcel to Sun Valley Parkway plus a secondary point of access before the first home can be sold or occupied.

Lloyd, planning staff, explained the options in the agreement and said the city may assist with acquiring any needed rights-of-way but that improvements would be paid for by the developer. \"So again, development paying for itself,\" Lloyd said during his presentation to the council.

Councilman Haney said he appreciated having the obligations documented and asked a clarifying question about timing. \"We're just looking at, basically, what is the developer responsible for if this zoning case proceeds. Is that correct?\" Haney asked. Lloyd confirmed that the primary access (referred to in the agreement as \"250\") must be installed immediately and that the selected secondary access must be in place before allowing an individual to take ownership of a home on the site.

The agreement describes three secondary-access options: a local-street connection routing through Buckeye to Beardsley Road; a connection using Beardsley Road across to local streets into Buckeye; or a route using Deer Valley Road to tie into future development at Surprise Foothills (the presentation noted that the latter is the most likely option). The agreement also sets out wastewater choices that include dedicating a well and transmission lines to connect to Surprise Foothills, establishing an emergency interconnect with Buckeye, or securing capacity at the SPA 2 / SPA 3 wastewater plants or participating in their expansion.

Mayor Sarter opened the floor for a motion. The council moved, seconded and voted to approve Resolution 2025-62; the clerk recorded the vote as a unanimous pass.

The development agreement will be part of the public record associated with the project's rezoning and forthcoming agenda items; Lloyd said additional development agreements will appear on upcoming agendas so council can review obligations before rezoning requests are considered.

Council discussion focused on transparency and documenting that developers pay for required infrastructure; no amendments to the agreement were reported during the meeting.","The Surprise City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-62 on June 3, 2025, adopting a development agreement for the Surprise 295 project that requires the developer to provide specified water and wastewater connections and build off-site roadway links before residences can be occupied.","actionData","errors"]
