A representative speaking on behalf of the Sierra Vista IDA explained the IDA statutes permit issuance of bonds inside or outside Arizona and said the proposed sale would be conducted publicly by Robert W. Baird to institutional or accredited investors, with a planned sale in July if council approved the authorization. The representative emphasized these bonds are \"special limited obligations\" payable solely from revenues of the underlying school and that there is \"no financial liability for either the city, the state, or the Sierra Vista IDA\" beyond those pledged revenues.

Councilmembers asked for clarification about the bond type; one councilmember noted it is not a city-backed debt and thanked the presenter for the explanation.

Elizabeth (identified as the city public information officer and vice president of the Sierra Vista Historical Society) nominated the dedication and recounted Jones\u0000military service with the 10th Cavalry beginning in 1911, his deployment during World War I and his return to Fort Huachuca. Elizabeth said Jones patrolled the community nightly from 1947 until the city established local law enforcement and that his family hosted Catholic services in their home.

Marta Messimer, Jones's granddaughter, and Martie Jones, a long-time Sierra Vista resident and retired Frye volunteer firefighter, shared personal stories, including Jones checking unlocked businesses after hours and community members collecting money to pay him for his patrols. Demetria Warren, president of the Southwest Association of Buffalo Soldiers Incorporated, urged the council to \"place his name where it belongs at the heart of a community he loved and protected.\" Several councilmembers, city staff and representatives of Saint Andrews the Apostle Catholic Church and the Parks and Recreation Commission expressed support.

Councilwoman Landry moved adoption of the resolution; the motion passed with no opposition announced on the record. Staff said the nomination had unanimous support from the Southwest Association of Buffalo Soldiers, Saint Andrews the Apostle Catholic Church, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Parks, Recreation and Library director and the city manager.","The council approved resolution 2025-044 to name the Babb Avenue/Frye Boulevard park property the Henry Jones Legacy Park, following presentations from the Sierra Vista Historical Society, family members and the Southwest Association of Buffalo Soldiers.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6202015,"Council approves updates to city personnel rules clarifying performance evaluations, records and safety procedures",160,1660000,1820000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3788231-6d051322ad3eaac8c109caccc16ea2e0&start=1660&end=1820","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3788231-6d051322ad3eaac8c109caccc16ea2e0/thumbnail_1660000.jpg","/articles/6202015/Arizona/Council-approves-updates-to-city-personnel-rules-clarifying-performance-evaluations-records-and-safety-procedures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6202015-5b9c27550d58ce0d4ba48d75c136a114/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163094&Signature=gJ8TUvu8w2K8xaga5tMa4frSTdjydvIQdsOiNPbCRPhqyTpoSCRyolHMjPmlJWo6euUIsOjsfWwsj5d4ju0zpOtb4TvC9bKrkR9KXBIfMTA5Y4W0A~P~DQYYoM-EvzNF9Lz06MFclYfNm7sxJI6mU3TUYvmcEr6J9lelFIN7LdXsZ5Dl7p4a9fdaT11dGfzE8mOQilDnFGNzgyHI0EuRlZbzQao0seHJhduEb6ylBjh0mWGGejWsb9rlsl-GIuqYQtZmQk32VhUHEUHAyh5swve-NoNMVNNrFPURU081gmle7Mi0aleb4fTibwz7vkNWo6EwFEN6TUpy9sYD6~Z-UQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sierra Vista City Council on June 12 unanimously approved resolution 2025-043 amending the city's personnel rules and regulations to add clarifying language on several administrative and personnel processes.

Miss Brownie, presenting the changes to council, described four main revisions: a severability clause to correct or delete invalid phrases in future updates while leaving the remainder of the document intact; a requirement that alternates to the employee council be elected annually with removal for two or more unexcused absences; a formal statement that employees may file a written response to performance evaluations within five business days and that unsatisfactory evaluations are defined under the existing four-point scoring system; and substantial revisions to the employment-records section that list documents to be included in personnel files and how employees will be notified of file changes.

Brownie also described a new safety and training subsection requiring city employees to follow procedures to prevent abuse, neglect and exploitation of \"vulnerable persons,\" defined in the revisions as mentally or physically handicapped children and adults. She said the section was required by the city's insurance carrier.

Councilmembers praised the clarifications as bringing long-standing practices into written policy. Councilwoman Faye Jackson moved adoption; the motion passed with no opposition announced on the record.","The council adopted resolution 2025-043 updating personnel rules to add severability language, require annual election of employee-council alternates, formalize the performance-evaluation response process, define personnel-file contents and add a new safety-training section on preventing abuse and neglect of vulnerable persons.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6202020,"Council adopts development-code amendments on temporary uses, signs, landscaping and setbacks",248,1284000,1532000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3788231-6d051322ad3eaac8c109caccc16ea2e0&start=1284&end=1532","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3788231-6d051322ad3eaac8c109caccc16ea2e0/thumbnail_1284000.jpg","/articles/6202020/Arizona/Council-adopts-development-code-amendments-on-temporary-uses-signs-landscaping-and-setbacks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6202020-a15a0593409ab157f3881a19330b6522/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163094&Signature=mk9yww7MiJbd8y5ZqOhLJW13sHRWZpHCboRiU6niycja58peM~ww1okVjo4M3vLfMfJMr1Rb3V1I6tb1IdoZtE5c7R4T0cHaZK3b5JffXCPoCU6GfxcgyumBfgAHHfhpYeoxNHEdkKWL7Wfx8r5nzpf6BiVbIX05g9484IeYBU3yzEbQDzoJQ1g8Fu~vFT4lD0mhQPHFIBgozyDGLxiojxPtJmOC0AVixYqpJ~sdmjRdI~cxK04onUjFroRROCZEgmYcVidK2ttVg2FsAL4F~T3Awb-6ZAI3G2jrf-su9x-QeiTFg1VMVVvlnHpJ57ucAk9bY2NG6JAjleqL4Pk4-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sierra Vista City Council on June 12 approved ordinance 2025-003 revising multiple sections of the city\u0000development code to clarify temporary uses, update sign rules, tighten landscaping standards for nonresidential sites and adjust setbacks for semi-detached units, carports and manufactured-home parks.

Staff said the changes were intended to \"improve efficiencies, clarify requirements, provide flexibility, and reduce unnecessary or obsolete regulations in the development code.\" Miss Briggler, speaking for staff, told the council the city received three comments on the Sierra Vista Engage website during a 30-day public comment period and that Planning and Zoning had unanimously approved the amendments at its March 25 and April 29 meetings.

Key changes adopted include definitions and development standards for construction staging areas and temporary field offices to allow contractors and utilities to store equipment and place temporary trailers during active projects with screening and nuisance controls; a sign-code revision allowing up to a 25% increase in sign height to accommodate architectural features and permitting reduced or waived five-foot sign setbacks for existing signs on constrained sites; expanded exemptions and revised standards for portable signs and feather banners; and a clarified definition of directional and permanent signs.

The ordinance also alters setback rules for semi-detached (row) homes so the end unit may use the required side setback while the attached-side may use a zero-lot line, and reduces the minimum building setback for carports and covered patios from five feet to three feet provided those structures use fire-resistant materials, a change staff said the fire marshal supports. Landscaping rules for commercial, industrial and apartment developments now require that 25% of landscape area be shaded by trees within 10 years, a minimum of three tree species and five shrub/cactus species, permeable hardscape in nonvegetated areas, earth-tone landscape rock with minimum sizing and depth, and at least one tree and two shrubs per landscape island. The previous separate minimum-buffer chart was removed and buffer distances were incorporated directly into individual zoning district sections.

Staff also added a conditional-use permit pathway for residential conversions of existing commercial buildings so council can review concept plans where conversions would otherwise exceed density or unit limits. The amendments address manufactured-home park standards by removing language that allowed detached garages and carports to sit in front of principal structures.

Councilman Marco Rodriguez moved approval; the motion passed with no opposition. Council discussion at the meeting was brief and supportive; councilmembers thanked members of the public who reviewed materials during the comment period.","The Sierra Vista City Council approved ordinance 2025-003, adopting a bundle of development-code text amendments that revise temporary construction uses, sign standards, landscaping requirements and setbacks for certain residential and manufactured-home features.","actionData","errors"]
