2004-2005 ANNUAL REPORT About the District Mission and Vision Before the Flood Control District's inception in 1959, severe flooding occurred throughout much of the County, primarily during the winter rains and summer monsoon. By establishing the District, the Arizona State Legislature created an organization charged with keeping County residents safe from flood hazards and established an independent funding source for essential projects. Today, through effective engineering, dam and channel construction, regulation, and public education, massive flooding is less of a hazard. The District, as created, is a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Arizona. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors also serves as the District's Board of Directors, who in turn receive counsel from the Flood Control Advisory Board, comprised of county citizens. Under the state's enabling legislation, the District is designated as a special taxing district, and as such, is given the authority to levy a secondary property tax on parcels within Maricopa County. Additional revenue are derived from other sources including the sale or lease of rights-of-way, fees that developers and individuals are required to pay to obtain building permits within Maricopa County and cost-sharing arrangements with the State of Arizona, County, cities and other agencies. The mission of the Flood Control District of Maricopa County is to provide regional flood hazard identification, regulation, remediation, and education to Maricopa County residents so that they can reduce the risk of injury, death, and property damage from flooding, while still enjoying the natural and beneficial values served by floodplains. Table of Contents The District's vision is for the residents of Maricopa County and future generations to have the maximum level of protection from the effects of flooding through fiscally responsible flood control actions and multi-use facilities that complement and enhance the beauty of our desert environment. We pledge to be responsive to our clients in an efficient, effective, and fiscally responsible manner. We will show personal integrity and professionalism in all our actions, and display continuous improvement, innovative thinking, and technical expertise. We will be stewards of the environment and the public’s trust, and we will be concerned about the effects of our actions on not only the current, but also future generations.

The Flood Hazard Identification program provides for the identification of, and alternative solutions for flood hazards, and flood warning data to public and private organizations allowing them to incorporate this information of flood hazards into their plans within presently developed and future urban growth areas. The Flood Hazard Regulation program offers guidance, direction, and enforcement to the public so that they can avoid causing adverse impacts to floodplains, and use their property safely and in compliance with applicable state and federal laws. The Flood Hazard Remediation program protects members of the public from flood hazards through structural mitigation and buyout so that they can live with a lower risk of loss of life or property due to flooding. Governing Boards Chairman's Message I am continually impressed at the scope of work completed by the Flood Control District of Maricopa County. Since 1959, the District has diligently protected residents from the dangers of flooding with programs that provide flood hazard identification, regulation, remediation and education. As a result of District programs, the people of Maricopa County are at a lower risk for flood-related injury, death and property damage. The District was hard at work this year after an unusually wet winter was followed by a significant monsoon season. These diverse weather conditions demonstrate that monitoring and responding to desert weather is a constant battle. Fortunately, existing flood control structures were in place to protect residents from significant flood-related injuries or property damage. Max Wilson District 4 Flood Control District of Maricopa County 2005 Board of Directors Chairman The future looks especially promising for the District as it moves forward on numerous projects that will both protect residents and allow them to appreciate the natural values of floodplains. I am certain that the District's revolutionary approach to flood control will continue to guide residents of Maricopa County safely into the future. Flood Control Advisory Board The Flood Control Advisory Board (FCAB) acts in an advisory role to the Board of Directors on flood control, floodplain management, drainage, and related matters. The FCAB reviews planning, operations, and maintenance of flood control facilities, and recommends an annual budget, which includes a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to the Board of Directors. The FCAB reviews program priorities and new policies, and provides recommendations to the Board of Directors. In reaching its decisions, the FCAB closely coordinates with District staff and takes into consideration input from both municipalities and citizens. The FCAB members also serve the District as members of the Floodplain Review Board and the Drainage Review Board. The Advisory Board consists of seven members, five of which are appointed by the Board of Supervisors for five-year terms. In addition to those five members, the Salt River Project and the city of Phoenix appoint representatives who are ex-officio members of the FCAB, with all rights and privileges granted to other members. Scott Ward District 1 2 Kent Cooper District 2 Hermant Patel District 3 Shirley Long District 4 Melvin Martin District 5 Paul Cherrington Salt River Project Tom Callow City of Phoenix Flood Control District Board of Directors The Flood Control District is governed by a five-member Board of Directors, who also serve as the Board of Supervisors for Maricopa County. The Board of Directors exercises all the powers and duties in the acquisition and operation of District properties, contracting, and carrying out regulatory functions as ordinarily exercised by governing bodies. Board members elect a new chairman each year. The chairman conducts the meetings of the Board of Directors, which generally follow the meetings of the Board of Supervisors. Fulton Brock District 1 Don Stapley District 2 Max Wilson District 4 Andrew Kunasek District 3 Mary Rose Wilcox District 5 3 Chief Engineer and General Manager’s Message I maintain a great sense of pride as I reflect on all that the District has accomplished this year. We faced a number of challenges, ranging from unusually heavy rainfall to internal restructuring, but our dedicated staff handled each one with a rare blend of professional dedication and expertise. Learning to work past different obstacles strengthens the District, and further exemplifies our passion for protecting the public from flood related injury, death or property loss. The District often hears skepticism concerning the presence of flood control in the desert. However, this year's rainy winter combined with a strong summer monsoon to confirm that even the most arid deserts can experience severe flooding. It was challenging to deal with these unexpected storms, but we are proud of how effectively our flood control structures handled the excess water, and limited its effects on County residents. There is a constant need for the services provided by the District as the population of Maricopa County continues to rise. As County communities boom, so do issues related to flooding. The tremendous growth made by Maricopa County in the past year was met with equivalent progress here at the District. Our Watercourse and Area Drainage Master Plans help us plan for the future and establish what types of channels, basins and dams will be necessary to protect communities in the coming years. We continue to study and implement floodplain regulations to properly protect citizens and our environment amidst developing communities. As we move into the next year, my goals for the District are: ! To increase the quality of service and satisfaction for both our external stakeholders as well as our staff. ! To expand our public outreach efforts to keep our public safety message relevant in the minds of Maricopa County residents and visitors. ! To continue to succeed at providing core flood hazard information through our Master Plan and Floodplain Delineation efforts. ! To construct new structures and maintain our existing structures to provide the greatest degree of public protection. ! To maximize the public utility of our facilities. I am confident that the District will see continued success as we forge ahead with programs that educate, identify, regulate and remediate flood hazards that will protect the residents of Maricopa County.

The EMF was designed and constructed by the Soil Conservation Service (now known as the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)) to be the East Valley's chief regional storm water outfall. The floodway was originally designed to accommodate storm water runoff from existing rural conditions; however, as land use has transitioned from farmland to development, the facility is now undersized for the current and future 100-year storm events. The floodway accepts drainage from an approximately 260-square-mile watershed, including major watercourses such as the Queen Creek Wash and Sonoqui Wash, as well as the District's Rittenhouse Channel. The project consists of two large off-line detention basins known as the Rittenhouse Basin (RBasin) and the Chandler Heights Basin (CHBasin). Included with the CHBasin will be improvements to the Queen Creek Wash from downstream of Higley Road to the EMF. The RBasin encompasses approximately 147 acres, has a 100-year storage volume of 530 acre-feet, and accepts floodwaters directly from the EMF. The CHBasin, including the Queen Creek Wash improvements, encompasses approximately 233 acres, has a 100-year storage volume of 1,325 acre-feet, and accepts floodwaters directly from the Queen Creek and Sonoqui Washes. 6 This is the largest project undertaken by the District solely at its cost and without funding project partners. Due to the physical size of the project and its costs, construction will be completed in separate phases for construction and irrigation, and landscaping. At the end of fiscal year 2004/2005, the first phase of the CHBasin project was complete, preparations were underway for start of construction of the second phase in the fall of 2005 and the first phase of the RBasin project was underway, with completion expected in the spring of 2006. The size and location of the basins offers a great opportunity for creating multi-use recreational facilities in addition to providing flood protection. The District has been working with the town of Gilbert where the basins are located to develop Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) that would permit the town to obtain easements over and develop the basins into multi-use park facilities. Completion of the two basins, coupled with the town's efforts to develop the basins into multi-use facilities, will provide the East Valley with substantial flood control benefits while also providing the area with superior multi-use regional park facilities. Laveen Area Conveyance Channel The Laveen Area Conveyance Channel (LACC) is part of the Laveen Area Drainage Master Plan. This project runs from 43rd Avenue to the Salt River for a length of 5.8 miles, and is a joint venture between the District, the city of Phoenix, Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) and the Salt River Project (SRP). The LACC includes a conveyance channel and concrete culvert street crossings capable of conveying the 100-year flood. It also includes a flood detention basin at 43rd Avenue and Southern Avenue. The peak discharge at the outfall of the channel is estimated to be 2,800 cfs. The channel contains a concrete low-flow channel to convey irrigation tail water and nuisance flows. Both the channel and basin are grasslined and will become part of the city of Phoenix park system when complete. The LACC Project was constructed between 2003 and 2005, and was substantially complete in late 2004. The landscape contractor will finish establishing the turf in the spring of 2006, at which point the LACC Project will be turned over to the city of Phoenix. 7 2004-2005 Flood Control District Highlights Administration ! ! !

Awarded design-related contracts for: , McDowell Road Drainage Systems Project , 10th Street Wash Project , Wickenburg Downtown Flood Mitigation Project 9 McMicken Dam Fissure Risk Zone Remediation (FRZR) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) constructed McMicken Dam, originally called the Trilby Wash Detention Basin, in 1954 to alleviate considerable flooding in the West Valley and to protect Luke Air Force Base from flooding. During rehabilitation efforts by the District in the mid1980s significant ground subsidence, transverse cracks and ground fissures were discovered. Additional studies in 2000 and 2003 further characterized the fissures and conditions for fissure development adjacent to the south end of McMicken Dam. The District analyzed 23 alternative designs before selecting a preferred alternative to isolate the identified fissure risk zone from McMicken Dam. The final design of the project, completed by AMEC Earth and Environmental, Inc., included the removal of a section of the dam located within a fissure risk zone, construction of a basin and diversion features and the construction of a new soil cement dam segment outside of the identified fissure risk zone. In addition to designing a soil cement dam segment that would not fail due to a fissure should one occur outside the identified fissure risk zone, a fissure detection monitoring system is also to be installed. Construction costs are estimated at $3.6 million. A unique aspect of this project is that the Maricopa Regional Trail Corridor is located within the project area. The District consulted with a landscape architect in order to incorporate a compatible grading design for the project. A permit authorizing construction was obtained from the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR). Construction began in March 2005 and is scheduled to be completed in February 2006. 10 Bethany Home Outfall Channel (BHOC) This project is a joint effort between the District and the cities of Glendale and Phoenix. The channel and linear basin is a part of the Maryvale Area Drainage Master Study and extends along the northern bank of the Grand Canal from 64th Avenue to the Agua Fria Freeway Outfall Channel near 97th Avenue. The channel is being designed to allow public use as a park and trail corridor. Also included in this project are two 10-year capacity storm drain designs to be located along Bethany Home Road and Camelback Road running from the channel to 59th Avenue. The project will have a 100-year capacity removing approximately 745 structures from the floodplain. The channel will receive storm water from portions of Glendale, Peoria, Phoenix and unincorporated Maricopa County. Construction of Reach A (83rd Avenue to 97th Avenue) is complete. Construction of Reach B (67th Avenue to 73rd Avenue) is scheduled for completion in early 2006. Construction of Reach C (73rd Avenue to 83rd Avenue) will run from early 2006 to early 2007. The remaining segments, Reach D (64th Avenue to 67th Avenue) and the Camelback Road Storm Drain, will be completed by 2009. The city of Glendale is constructing the Bethany Home Road Storm Drain in conjunction with street improvements to Bethany Home Road over the next several years. 11 Floodprone Properties Acquisition Program (FPAP) To reduce the occurrence of repetitive loss to property and to protect the public, the District works with property owners on projects to remove them from harm's way. Regional structural projects are not always feasible; therefore, the District has developed a proactive Floodprone Properties Acquisition Program (Program) to provide limited funding for voluntary, nonstructural mitigation measures. The Board of Directors of the Flood Control District of Maricopa County adopted the Program in 2003. Currently, District staff is in the process of moving forward with the Program as a potential alternative for homes where structural solutions are not feasible to provide mitigation from flooding. The Program is voluntary and is open only to homeowners whose residence is located within a delineated floodway or floodplain. The Floodprone Properties Acquisition Program is a voluntary program. A property must meet one or more of the following descriptions to be evaluated for the program: 1. Property with an inhabited residential structure located in a delineated 100-year floodway or floodplain if no floodway designation exists, and built prior to such designation. 2. Property with an inhabited residential structure located in a delineated 100-year floodplain that has experienced documented flood damage. Note: Any property that will benefit from a proposed future CIP drainage or flood control project is not eligible for this program. Education Program The District signed a contract with KPNX-TV (Channel 12) during FY 04-05 to implement a comprehensive education and safety campaign in Maricopa County. As part of the campaign, the District will receive 120 exposures each quarter on KPNX-TV, the Valley's most watched news station. Additionally, the District will receive exclusive sponsorship rights of the KPNX News Special Monsoon 2005, which aired on Monday, June 27th from 6:30 - 7:00 p.m. The campaign also includes significant exposure on azcentral.com, the official Web site of KPNX and The Arizona Republic. Finally, the campaign includes sponsorship of The Arizona Republic's Newspapers In Education which features engaging classroom programs, student activities, and partnerships with local teachers. It is the goal of this campaign to increase exposure and awareness of the dangers associated with flooding; to position the District as an expert resource for flood and safety information; and to reduce the numbers of injuries, deaths and impacts to property associated with flood situations. The intent of the contract is to reach more than 1.5 million residents of Maricopa County with information about the dangers of flash flooding in the desert and crossing flooded washes; the potential risks to life and property associated with flooding hazards; and the work of the District. This will happen through a coordinated marketing and advertising campaign utilizing television, print, and online mediums. 12 Financial Commentary Financial Management Discussion and Analysis Revenue Viewed in its entirety, the District's financial performance over the course of Fiscal Year 2005 is most notable for the continuing high utilization of available funds to support legally mandated responsibilities and construct flood mitigation structures in partnership with federal, state, county and municipal governments. High continued growth in the County population and the new housing and business construction industry continue to be significant factors in the prioritization of District funding. Consideration as to the direction new growth will take significantly affects decisions as to which programs will receive priority funding, and which programs will be expanded, refined, restrained or curtailed. Funding decisions are also greatly influenced by consideration of which programs will be most effective in protecting the public from the ravages of floodwaters. As the population grows and expands into formerly unpopulated sections of the County the effectiveness of hard flood mitigation structures versus a greater emphasis on education, regulatory, planning and delineation programs becomes critical to the utilization of the District's limited funds. Over the course of Fiscal Year 2005, the District collected a total of $73,635,831.00 which represents 94.7% of the full year revised budget amount of $77,720,588.00. The shortfall of 5.3% to budget was the result of delays in the Design/Construction schedule of some active Capital Improvement Program Projects. While the cause for schedule delays can originate from a variety of sources, they often prevent the District from reaching a schedule milestone within the confines of the Fiscal Year at which a partner reimbursement is triggered. In practical terms these occurrences do not cause the District to forego the revenue, but rather to recognize it in a succeeding Fiscal Year. Partially offsetting the shortfall in partner reimbursements were greater than anticipated revenue earnings in the District’s licensing and permitting activities, fund balance interest earnings and payments in lieu of tax collections. Overall the Fiscal Year 2005 collection rate of 94.7% compares favorably to that achieved in Fiscal Year 2004 (93.1%).

District operations experienced a variety of changes and pressures over the course of the year. Among the changes experienced were the transfer of the Regulatory Title 11 Drainage responsibility to the County Planning and Development Department, the creation of a Public Works oversight function that included the District's operations, the transfer of supervisory responsibility for the STORM and Water Pollutant permitting function to the County Environmental Department, and the completion of the DFIRM mapping grant with FEMA. Each of these changes required the District to treat the prioritization of operations funding as a work in progress and re-evaluate its spending budget. As a result of the ongoing re-evaluation and prioritization effort, the District significantly increased the funding and productivity of its core mandatory functions. ! The Planning Program Funding Increased $407,154 (7.7%) ! The Structure Assessment (Dam Safety) Program Funding Increased $1,225,730 (302.3%) ! The Floodplain Delineation Program Funding Increased $168,426 (14.6%) ! The Flood Warning and Detection Sy s t e m F u n d i n g I n c r e a s e d $82,222 (9.9%) ! Expenditures for Infrastructure Maintenance Increased $1,204,011 (27.9%) The program funding increases listed above will be continued and in most cases expanded upon during Fiscal Year 2006 as the District continues to concentrate its efforts on the mandated programs of Flood Hazard education, identification, regulation and remediation.

While the District did experience some delay in its anticipated Infrastructure Design and Construction schedule, much progress toward the completion of major flood mitigating structures was accomplished. In addition, the District initiated the Flood Prone Properties Acquisition Program (program) during the year. The new program is designed to offer homeowners, whose residence resides in a floodway or floodplain, the opportunity to sell their property to the District and relocate to a location out of harm’s way. The first year of the program (Fiscal Year 2005) indicates that there are a significant number of homeowners interested in the Program and funds have been budgeted in future years to provide to homeowners an alternative to living within a potential flood area. While recognizing that there was a funding shortfall in comparison to budget during Fiscal Year 2005, it should also be recognized that the shortfall was the result of schedule delays and not the abandonment of planned infrastructure projects. Full funding provision has been provided in future years’ budgets to continue projects started or continued during Fiscal Year 2005.

As a result of this increase and the anticipated Fiscal Year 2006 revenue collections, the District is in an excellent position to fully fund all of its budgeted mandated and capital needs. The increase in fund balance also allows the District increased flexibility in reacting to land purchases at favorable prices, capital equipment replacements, software and data processing needs, and a variety of other opportunities that arise during the span of a fiscal year.

It was the fifth county formed in Arizona, and eventually portions were used to create Gila and Pinal counties. In the late 19th century, citizens living far south of Prescott, the territorial capital and site of the Territorial Legislature, petitioned for a more local seat of government. Residents of the Salt River Valley and the Gila River area wanted a new county in their respective locations. After weighing both proposals, the Legislature agreed with the Salt River Valley group and created Maricopa County. Today Maricopa County measures 9,226 square miles, 21 square miles of which is water. Five major river systems flow through the county draining an area of approximately 57,000 square miles, which includes portions of New Mexico and Mexico. Nearly 60 percent of Arizona's population resides in Maricopa County, which includes the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale, Peoria, and Gilbert. The County has been consistently one of the fastest growing counties in the country during the last decade.
