SEPT. 16PHOENIX CITY COUNCIL FORMAL AGENDA

WELCOME!

Thank you for participating in the process of representative local government. We welcome your interest and hope you and your neighbors will often attend Phoenix City Council meetings. Democracy cannot endure without an informed and involved electorate.

Phoenix operates under a Council-Manager form of local government. Policy is set by the Mayor and Council, and the City Manager, who is appointed by the Council, directs staff to carry out the policies. This separation of policy-making and policy administration is considered the most economical and efficient form of city government.

FORMAL CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS

The Council generally holds formal meetings at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesdays to take official action on Ordinances, Resolutions, and other items on the agenda. Although the formal agenda is subject to change, all changes to the printed agenda will be available at least 24 hours prior to the meeting.Visit phoenix.gov/cityclerk/publicmeetings to view the agenda and meeting schedule.

The formal meeting may appear to proceed very quickly, with important decisions reached with little discussion. However, councilmembers receive the agenda the week prior to the meeting, giving them the opportunity to study every item and to ask questions of City staff members. If no additional information is presented at the meeting, action may be taken without discussion.

HOW CITIZENS CAN PARTICIPATE

Phoenix City Council meetings are live streamed on phoenix.gov and available to view on Phoenix Channel 11.

For updated information on how residents can provide input on Council agenda items, please visit phoenix.gov/cityclerk/publicmeetings or call 602-262-6001.

For other questions involving the City, you are encouraged to contact your District councilmember at 602-262-7029 or the City Manager’s Office at 602-262-4449. To reach the Mayor’s Office, call 602-262-7111. We will doeverything possible to be responsive to your individual requests.

REGISTERED LOBBYISTS

Individuals paid to lobby on behalf of persons or organizations other than themselves must register with the City Clerk prior to lobbying or within five business days thereafter and must re-register annually. If you have any questions about registration or whether or not you must register, visit lobbyist.phoenix.gov or contact the City Clerk’s Office at 602-256-3186.

ACCESSIBILITY

For further information or reasonable accommodations, please call 602-256-3186 or Relay 7-1-1 as early as possible to coordinate needed arrangements.

Consideration of Renaming Robert E. Lee Street (Ordinance S-46949)

Request to formally consider renaming Robert E. Lee Street in accordance with the city's Street Naming Policy that allows City Council members to request a change to a recorded street name when it is considered derogatory or offensive based on City Code Section 18-1. Staff requests approval to change the name of Robert E. Lee Street, as well as approval of the proposed new street name selection process outlined in this report, and of the proposed cost reimbursement policy for impacted residents, businesses and property owners outlined in this report. Further request authorization for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.

SummaryIn accordance with the City of Phoenix Street Naming Process approved by the City Council on June 27, 2017 (Attachment A), the City Council on July 1, 2020 voted to direct staff to begin the process to consider renaming of Robert E. Lee Street. The Street Naming Process requires conducting two community meetings, which the July 1, 2020 action authorized to be done virtually due to the pandemic. The process also requires a technical review process of proposed new names to ensure conformity to adopted street naming criteria. The Council approved process requires that within 90 days of the request an item be placed on a Council agenda to decide on the proposed street renaming. This report contains detailed information on public input, the technical review of proposed alternate names, a proposed process for additional involvement by Robert E. Lee Street property owners in the selection of a new street name, and a detailed plan to assist residents to update their addresses, including an outline of the cost reimbursement process, should the Council approve renaming of the street.

Public InputOn July 1, 2020 , the Council approved the initiation of the process for consideration of renaming of Robert E. Lee Street. That Council action included a temporary process revision to allow the two required community meetings to be conducted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As stated in the July 1, 2020 Council-approved action: “The current process as approved by Council requires two public meetings to be conducted in the vicinity of each of the streets proposed for renaming. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, staff requests as part of this action Council approval to revise the process to allow virtual public meetings to obtain public input from the affected

Page 77


neighbors and community.” Staff conducted two web forums to discuss the proposedrenaming of Robert E. Lee Street and obtain community input. Residents were able toparticipate online or use their phones, including traditional landline telephones, whichis similar to public participation at Council meetings during the pandemic. Residentsand property owners of Robert E. Lee Street were notified of the opportunity toparticipate in the meetings through certified mailings, as well as multiple signs placedat various locations along the street. The live community web forums were held on July28 and Aug. 3, 2020.

The community was also notified of the opportunity to provide input in other ways theCity made available. These included:· Telephone to directly speak with staff

· Comment form on dedicated street renaming webpage:www.phoenix.gov/street-renaming <http://www.phoenix.gov/street-renaming>

· Postal mail

In all, 121 people participated in the community forums. In addition to the spokencomments, there were 45 submitted written comments related to the proposed RobertE. Lee Street renaming. Also, to accommodate a request by residents who stated theywere not comfortable meeting on the web forums, staff held a socially distanced, mask-required, in-person meeting with a group of 10 Robert E. Lee Street residents in theParadise Valley Community Center Multipurpose Room on Aug. 10.

For all comments submitted, either in writing or through a forum, slightly more peoplefavored renaming the street. For comments from people that indicated they lived on orimmediately adjacent to Robert E. Lee Street, slightly more indicated they opposedrenaming than supported it.

Attachment B includes all the public input gathered at the web forums, including theattendees’ positions on renaming, and a compilation of all comments submitted viaemail, web comment form, telephone and in writing. Comments from people whoindicated they lived on or immediately adjacent (within one block) to the street arelisted first and highlighted in yellow on all the meeting and comment spreadsheets.

Proposed NamesDuring the public comment process participants proposed more than 80 alternativenames for Robert E. Lee Street. City staff performed a technical review of all theproposed names to determine which ones met the criteria outlined in the MaricopaAssociation of Governments Address and Street Assignment Policy Manual. Theproposed names that met the established criteria are listed in Attachment C.

Page 78


The criteria used to assess alternate name proposals first examines availability. If theproposed name is already in use on a street elsewhere in the greater Phoenix area,then it is determined to be not eligible; 41 proposed street names were excludedbecause of non-availability. This standard excludes those names to avoid adding to thelist of duplicate street names and increasing the potential for confusion in emergencycalls for Fire or Police services. Staff must also examine street names that may beoverly difficult to pronounce or spell; no proposed street names for Robert E. LeeStreet were excluded due to this standard. This standard is also related to avoidingconfusion for emergency dispatchers and first responders in critical life-safetysituations. Lastly, if a name was submitted that was considered obscene or referred toillegal/controlled substances, it was excluded; five submitted names were excluded forthis reason.

Proposed Process for Selection of New Street NameThe proposed new street names listed in Attachment C were proposed both byresidents living on and adjacent to Robert E. Lee St. and by members of the broadercommunity. Several of the Robert E. Lee St. residents/owners indicated a desire tomake the decision or at least have a larger say in the selection of the new street nameby being allowed to vote on the new name. Because by ordinance the City Councilmust take action to vote on the new name, any vote by property owners would be anadvisory recommendation to the City Council who would then make the final decision.

In responding to the request from residents, staff proposes the following process forselection of the new street name, if the City Council approves renaming the street:· The City would conduct a process to allow property owners along Robert E. Lee

Street to provide an advisory vote to the City Council for the new name of the street.The City Council would still be required to take the final action on an ordinance tochange the name of the street.

· Certified letters would be mailed to property owners of Robert E. Lee Street with asurvey containing the list of eligible proposed names that met the City criteria. Eachletter would include a unique code that would allow the survey to be returned bymail or be submitted online.

· The survey would use a weighted ranking form of tabulation that would requireresidents to rank their top five name choices in their order of preference.

· A top-ranked choice would earn the highest numerical value with second, third andlater ranked choices yielding correspondingly lower values.

· These ranking values would be totaled at the end of the vote to show the aggregatepreference among property owners along Robert E. Lee Street.

· To ensure adequate time is provided, staff estimates this process may take

Page 79


approximately six weeks before returning to the Council for final action on the newstreet name.

· The results of the vote would be provided to the City Council at a future meetingalong with a request to approve a new street name, along with an effective date.

· Staff will recommend that the effective date of the new name not occur before Jan.11, 2021 to ensure sufficient time for residents, property owners and the City tomake necessary changes.

Street BackgroundRobert E. Lee Street has 131 individual parcels that consists of 88 single-familyresidential, 29 town homes, two four-unit apartment buildings (eight total units), onecharter school (on a residentially zoned parcel) and 11 HOA-owned common-areatracts. The street runs east to west from 52nd Street to State Route 51 with Union HillsDrive the major cross street to the north and Grovers Avenue the major cross street tothe south. There is a small non-contiguous section of the street just east of CaveCreek Road (Attachment D).

The parcels that make up the current-day street were developed in stages over a 38-year period from 1954 until 1992 (Attachment E). The street was unincorporatedMaricopa County land until 1988, when it was annexed into the City of Phoenix, as theannotations in Attachment E show. Three stretches of the road were dedicated as LeeStreet in 1954, 1958 and 1960. Sometime between 1960 and 1961, Maricopa Countychanged the name to Robert E. Lee Street, which appeared for the first time as arecorded street name in 1961 (Attachment E, page 4). All street dedications madeafter that date were as Robert E. Lee Street.

CostsThe Street Transportation Department (Streets) estimates it will cost the Cityapproximately $3,200 to fabricate and install new signs on Robert E. Lee Street, whichwill come from funds available in Streets' current fiscal year budget.

The Street Renaming Policy also stipulates that the City cover residents documenteddirect costs to update their address on personal documents and records, which staffestimates could be approximately $150 per address. Households are likely to havemultiple residents that are impacted, which the estimate intends to account for. Homesthat use their address for a registered business also may experience additional coststhat exceed a typical residence.

An accurate estimate of resident/owner costs is difficult because in some instancesresidents have discretion on which documents to replace. For example, banks

Page 80


contacted by the City have explained that checks with the prior address can still beused as long as the account and routing numbers are the same. Residents cancontinue to use those checks as is, or simply handwrite in a corrected street name untilthey exhaust their existing supply. Also, the state Motor Vehicle Services Department(MVD) does not require driver’s licenses to be replaced for an address change; theaddress only needs to be updated in the agency’s system within ten days at no cost.However, many people use their driver’s license as a form of identification that showstheir current address. If a resident chooses to replace their driver’s license, per theprocess outlined below, the City will reimburse the cost to replace it, which is currently$12.

In some cases, both a property owner who leases their property and tenants will beimpacted. Based on the most recent Maricopa County property records available, 27properties are owned by people with different mailing addresses, which likely indicatesproperties that are occupied by renters. Should all properties and tenants incur costsat the high end of the estimate, combined costs would be approximately $24,000.Based on Council approval, the funding will be allocated to the Planning andDevelopment Department budget to cover the reimbursement cost.

Proposed Cost Reimbursement PolicyStaff proposes the following policy to reimburse expenses for impacted Robert E. LeeStreet residents and property owners:· Property or business owners located on, or any individuals who live on, Robert E.

Lee Street as of the effective date of the change are eligible to be reimbursed bythe City for any costs directly associated with address changes related to renamingRobert E. Lee Street. The reimbursement will not include any cost for time spentmaking changes.

· City staff will be available to assist residents with any changes, as needed.

· As outlined later in this report, there are also several changes and notificationswhich the City is making on behalf of residents to reduce the time spent byimpacted individuals.

· For reimbursement, affected individuals will need to complete a simple City requestform along with receipts or other documentation to the City.

· The forms will be available in paper form for those who prefer to mail hard copies,as well as web forms, through which they can attach scanned receipts and submitreimbursement requests electronically.

· The City standard will be for residents to be reimbursed for eligible costs withinthree weeks of the City receiving the request.

· There is no time limit for impacted residents to submit for or receive reimbursementof eligible costs.

Page 81


· There is also no limit to the number of times an impacted resident can submit forand receive reimbursement if all reimbursements are for different eligible costs.

The Planning and Development Department (PDD) will work with the FinanceDepartment to process reimbursements. If for any reason a resident or property owneris denied reimbursement, the decision may be appealed to the City Managerrepresentative within the Planning and Development Department. Staff has created aworking draft of a form that residents would use to request reimbursement (Attachment F). When finalized, this will be adapted as an online form for thoseresidents that wish to submit request forms and receipts electronically.

City Staff Updating ResponsibilitiesShould the Council approve a new street name, city staff will send official notification ofthe name change to an extensive list of agencies so they can update customeraddresses in their respective systems. City staff is currently in communication with theMaricopa County Recorder’s Office, which will work with the City to record a streetname change notification for purposes of deed, deed of trust and voter registrationrecords for impacted residents and property owners. PDD staff will formally notifythese City departments: Police, Fire, City Clerk, Finance, Law, Neighborhood Services,Street Transportation, and Water Services. PDD staff also will complete an importantnotification to the United States Postal Service (USPS). At staff request, the USPS willcreate a "change alias" in their computer system that ties any new street name foreach property to the old street name. Thus, any mail addressed using an old streetname will automatically be re-routed to the address with the new name. These changealiases do not expire and will ensure mail sent through USPS will be re-routedindefinitely. All property address numbers will remain unchanged.

Planning and Development Department staff will also send official street name changenotifications to the Maricopa County Assessor's Office, Arizona Public Service, SaltRiver Project, Southwest Gas, Cox Communications, CenturyLink, Federal Express,United Parcel Service (UPS), as well as private mapping services including Google,Bing, Yahoo, MapQuest and Wide World of Maps.

If the Council approves renaming Robert E. Lee Street, staff will send via certified maila third set of documents to residents and property owners that includes a formal letterof approval, a copy of the recorded ordinance, and a completed address changenotification. Residents can keep these documents in their records should they need todocument or show proof of the street name change for any reason in the future.

Page 82


Resident AssistancePhoenix Public Library staff will continue to be available to directly assist impactedresidents. Staff researched address update processes for multiple agencies to assistresidential property owners, rental residents and business owners. Library staffcreated quick reference lists, complete with hyperlinks, on the street renamingwebpage for updating addresses with the MVD, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS),Maricopa County Recorder - Voter Registration and Property Deed/Title, the SocialSecurity Administration and Department of Veterans Affairs. The online guide also hassuggestions for updating addresses with insurance companies; cell phone providers;employers; banks, credit reporting bureaus and other financial institutions; schools andchildcare providers and online shopping sites. The resource guide for business ownersincludes quick reference address update links for the IRS, Arizona Department ofRevenue, Arizona Secretary of State, Arizona Corporation Commission and businesscredit reporting agencies. It adds suggestions for updating addresses with customers;banks and other financial institutions; and on websites, social media and other onlinelocal search tools. Residents that need or prefer live assistance can speak by phone toLibrary staff during normal library hours.

Timing of ChangeIf the City Council approves a new name at the Sept. 16 Formal Meeting, staffrecommends that the effective date of a new street name be no earlier than Jan. 11,2021. This will ensure sufficient time to process changes and avoid any addressuncertainty during the upcoming election and holidays.

Financial ImpactThe Street Transportation Department estimates a total cost of $3,200 to fabricate andinstall new signs on Robert E. Lee Street; the department will use existing fiscal yearbudgeted funds to cover this cost. Staff estimates approximately $24,000 is needed tocover costs to reimburse residents and property owners for direct expenses incurredrelated to changing their address. These funds will be allocated to the Planning andDevelopment Department from the General Fund.

P:\Street Naming Process TRT/DOC/00023 WEB\dsd_trt_pdf_00023 New 8/17

Background 1. Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Address and Street Name Assignment

Policy states that a “newly developed street will assume the name of the street on whichit aligns.”

2. North/South streets are typically numbered (per the established grid system).3. All numbered streets west of Central Avenue use Avenue, Drive, Lane, Glen and Dale

in that order as the specifically numbered street is located further west.4. All numbered streets east of Central Avenue use Street, Place, Way, Terrace and Run

in that order as the specifically numbered street is located further east.5. East/West, angled or loop right of way have a name assigned that is in the same

alignment or a new street name is identified per the new name assignment policy.6. City of Phoenix has a nationally recognized reputation for ease of navigation due to

consistently adhering to the “Grid” system of named and numbered streets7. For New Name Assignments, the name cannot be used anywhere else in the Phoenix

metropolitan area. Names should be short, easy to pronounce, easy to spell, besufficiently distinct from existing street names and be free of offensive or derogatorylanguage (in any language/translation) based on City Code Section 18-1.

Types of Activities 1. New plat with right of way dedication(s) or Map of Dedication (MOD)2. Right of way dedicated but not yet named (separate instrument dedication)3. Street name changes to correct an error4. Requests by property owners to change a recorded street name5. Requests by the mayor or three city council members to change a recorded street name

when it is deemed offensive or derogatory based on City Code Section 18-1.

Naming Process Street Name Review for Subdivision Plats and MODs:

Developer submits Plat or MOD with suggested street names (collector, local) following assignment criteria. Planning and Development Department (PDD) staff reviews and names unnamed streets or works with developer to revise names when necessary. Street names will be identified on plat, MOD, master plan, and site plan.

Right of way dedicated but not yet named: PDD names the street in accordance with assignment criteria and requests City Council approval of the naming ordinance.

Street name changes to correct an error: These changes are made according to Ordinance G-4593, approved by City Council in April 2004. This process allows the PDD to administratively correct street name errors on newly recorded subdivision plats or MODs. The following are the processes depending on which party initiates the correction or change.

v. Notification of the name change must be provided to the City of Phoenix Village Planner to be distributed to Village Planning Committee members and/or provided as an information only presentation to the appropriate Village Planning Committee.

vi. PDD will review the request. This review includes comments from Fire, Police, Water and Street Transportation departments, the United States Postal Service, and will require compliance with the criteria outlined in the Maricopa Association of Governments “Address and Street Name Assignment Policy.”

vii. If the application is denied, the applicant has the option to file an appeal to the City Manager’s Representative in PDD.

viii. If name change is approved by staff, a Request for Council Action will be submitted for approval at a formal City Council hearing.

Page 86


Requests by the Mayor or three City Council members to change a recorded street name when it is deemed offensive or derogatory based on City Code Section 18-1 as identified by the City Council:

These changes are made according to the City Council policy approved June 27, 2017.

Process: i. The Mayor or three Council members may request initiation of the process to

change a street name along with proposed new street name or name options and basis for the change. The request with proposed new street name(s) should be submitted to the City Manager in writing.

ii. In accordance with established deadlines, at the next available Formal Council meeting, staff will request City Council action to decide whether to initiate the process to review and later decide whether to change the street name. If approved by the full City Council, the process begins, as outlined below.

iii. PDD will conduct a review of proposed street name(s). This review includes comments from Fire, Police, Water and Street Transportation Departments, the United States Postal Service, and will require compliance with the criteria outlined in the Maricopa Association of Governments “Address and Street Name Assignment Policy.”

iv. Within 21 days of approval by City Council to start the renaming process, PDD will mail the first notice via Certified Mail to residents, businesses and property owners on the affected streets to inform them of the proposal to change the name of their street. Staff will identify all multi-unit properties, either commercial or residential, and consult USPS databases to locate individual unit mailing addresses to ensure all rental tenants receive notification, in addition to the property owner. The letter will contain a phone number and e-mail address to which residents may submit input on the proposed change.

v. City staff will schedule two public meetings as additional ways for residents to learn about the process and provide input. The meetings will be held in the vicinity of the street proposed for renaming and meeting details will be included in the first resident mailing noted above.

vi. All results of the technical review will be included in a report to City Council that also will include a map of impacted streets and abutting properties, a comprehensive summary of resident and business and property owner input on the proposed street name, a detailed estimate of city costs to replace street signs and a potential source of funding to cover those costs. The report will include an estimate of any financial impact to property owners, business owners and residents for required updates to addresses that would result from a street name change. It will also identify potential city funding for Council consideration to cover the costs, with the goal to ensure property owners, business owners and residents would not need to cover any required financial costs. It will list the steps staff will take to assist affected individuals with any additional notifications and processing of address changes, as requested, to reduce inconvenience and time impacts on property owners.

Page 87


Staff also will evaluate potential timing issues that may need to be considered and will make a recommendation for an effective date to minimize any negative impacts.

vii. Within 90 days of the request, an item will be placed on a Council meeting agenda for the City Council to decide on the proposed street name change.

viii. Fourteen days prior to the meeting at which the City Council will vote on the proposed name change, PDD will mail via Certified Mail the second required notice to all affected property owners to inform them of the date, time and location of the Council meeting.

ix. If City Council approves the renaming of a city street, PDD will compile and then share with residents a comprehensive resource list that includes hyperlinks and other contact information to minimize the time and inconvenience of updating addresses on personal accounts.

x. If Council proposes to change the street to an alternate name that had not been reviewed, the alternate name would require additional analysis and up to 60 additional days for technical review.

After City Council Approval of a Name Change

Any City of Phoenix fees related to changing of a street name under the provision approved June 2017 will be waived for affected property owners and/or residents. The City will notify the USPS, which will update their database to ensure that any mail sent to an address with the previous street name will be delivered to the address under the new street name. PDD also will notify the Police, Fire, City Clerk, Finance, Law, Neighborhood Services, Planning and Development, Street Transportation, and Water Services departments, Maricopa County Recorder, Maricopa County Assessor, Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project, Southwest Gas, Cox Communications, Century Link, Federal Express, United Parcel Service, and private mapping services such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, MapQuest and Wide World of Maps. PDD also will send to each property owner a notification letter of approval, an Address Change Notification and a copy of the ordinance. These can be presented by the property owner to any private entity that may request official documentation.

In favor Yes This commenter repeated these suggestions in the July 28 community web forum: Since I do not like the names suggested, I figured I should try to think of something else. Here is what I've thought of so far, having no idea if they are usable. I did search the Maricopa County Assessor website to see if they were already used (I searched without the East figuring it would give me wider results).

1) E. Edge Hill Street - nothing found2) E. Vista Hills - there is a drive but not astreet3) E. Desert Ridge Street - I know we arenear Desert Ridge Marketplace, which iswhat made me think of this. There is oneDesert Ridge Drive in Scottsdale but thatis all. I don't know if this can beconsidered because of the marketplace.4) E. North Hills Street - I only found aNorth Hills Church, no street names5) E. Vista Edge - nothing found 6) E. Desert Cactus Street - I know CactusRoad is here, not sure if that is too close. There is also a Desert Cactus InvestmentCompany. That is all I found.7) E. Mountain Vista Street - there isalready a Court, Drive, Avenue, but noStreet. That said, this may be toocommon and not acceptable based on the current use.8) E Desert Hills Street -there is already an E Desert Hills Drive in Scottsdale and a W Desert Hills Drive in both Phoenix and Glendale. This may betoo common and therefore notacceptable as well.

Explained that he's a 40-year resident of the street. He objects to the current policy as it takes away residents right to name their own street. He supports leaving the name as is as it honors a man that fought to secure the country's independence. He also said a process should begin to rename Washington and Jefferson streets and asked how he could begin that process.

E-mail commentssubmitted July 22

Opposed Yes Whether you like who Robert E. Lee is or was or find his name offensive or not, he is a part of our nation’s history. Revising history or choosing to ignore it or changing the name of our street will not change previous wrongs but ignoring it or trying to erase it will only ensure that we do not learn from it and surely badness will follow(Just watch the nightly news.) Just ask anyone who survived a tyrant who did it: Hitler, Stalin, etc. Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it. Not a good idea.

E-mail comments and request tor register.

Opposed Yes I am concerned that having to do all the address changes while also dealing with the pandemic is troublesome to me and no doubt many others. The city is also creating an added expense of time and dollars related to contacting dozens of businesses (such as social security and banks to name only a few key ones) as well as friends and family. (In a follow-up phone call, she explained that she was concerned about the efforts required to update her address. She doesn't understand why it has to occur now. She also questioned if Washington, Jefferson and Adams streets would be changed and if not, why. Reiterated her oppostion to renaming in spoken comments at July 28 community web forum.

Web comment submitted July 30

Opposed Yes As a resident on Robert E Lee I am disappointed that a city would cater to the whims of a small majority of political groups. As a senior citizen, in all the year's I've lived on Robert E Lee, a good 60% of people in the 20-35 age group never even heard of him. How much is this change going to cost the taxpayers of Phoenix? How many hundreds of cross streets will have to have the signage changed. How many miles is Robert E Lee across the Valley? Not to mention maps, mortgage deeds, and again as a senior all the paperwork I will have to change; drivers license, passports, medical information, insurance policies, etc., etc.

I DO NOT WANT MY STREET NAME CHANGED TO " FREEDOM" OR " JUSTICE". THAT'S A POLITICAL/MOVEMENT STATEMENT. TO ME IT'S OFFENSIVE AND DEROGATORY.

WE LIVE IN THE DESERT. Come up with a name that has no political connotation and no reference to a movement. Possibly, Foxtail, Desert Sage, Aloe Lane, Adobe Lane/Avenue, Azalea, Black Mesa, Broken Arrow . . . For goodness sake, get creative and stay away from political interest groups.Thank you,Melissa Wilson

E-mail comment submitted Aug. 5

Yes We would like to recommend names for consideration of our residential address for almost thirty (30) years. Our feeling is that the renaming should not be a direct result of political pandering. The new street name should hold content of an appropriate southwestern reflective of our deep heritage not in response to politically charged issues at the moment.

In favor Yes I support the renaming, however, the proposed names, freedom or justice st, are uninspired.

Can we investigate alternatives?Desert themed? Plants/wildlifeNative people themed?Wild West themedEven naming it after John Lewis would be better (however it feels like a knee jerk reaction during a moment in time)

Thank you

In favor Adjacent Hello all. As a family, we are requesting to re-name Robert E Lee Street to "Buffalo Soldier Way”.The Buffalo Soldiers were a collection of African American US Army Calvary Regiments formed in 1866 after the Civil War and based in Southern Arizona out of Ft Huachuca. The Buffalo Soldier name then carried on until the Korean War when the Army was fully integrated. Why are we suggesting this name?1.) Family tie-in: My Wife's grandfather was a Buffalo Soldier during the two World Wars. 2.) Military tie-in: Along with many Phoenix families, we have both active duty and veterans in the family. This includes a recent Arizona National Guard veteran that is a Buffalo Soldier descendant.3.) Arizona tie-in. The Civil War barely touched the Arizona territory whereas the Buffalo Soldiers, as mentioned, operated here.4.) Horse tie-in: The entrance to my neighborhood (Triple Crown) has a statue of three horses. This is a reference to the three horse races that make up the Triple Crown Championship. Since the Buffalo Soldiers of the Civil War era were horse mounted cavalry, it provides something of a connection to a horse marquee theme.We wish this to be a positive, forward looking, non-judgmental, uplifting process supported by the neighbors along the street and residents of Phoenix. We appreciate the burden this change places on those directly impacted (We live next to but not on the actual street), but ask they consider the long-term goodwill that can come from this change.

This re-naming makes no change to, nor does it erase the history of the Civil War. It is simply a street name and what we choose to commemorate with that name. In 1960 the choice was made to commemorate the Commanding General of the Southern Confederate Army. In 2020, my family and I ask that we choose to commemorate The U i d S A B ff l S ldi l b d f A i V

In favor Adjacent Hello, I live in the Triple Crown subdivision. This is at the intersection of Tatum & East Robert E Lee Street. I absolutely feel the street should be renamed.

I am sure you are aware that Robert E Lee was a general in the Confederate Army, which fought to keep Black Americans suppressed through segregation and racial injustice.

The name of this street is a vestige of America’s racist past. We cannot allow honors given to war criminals to remain when the people who bestowed those honors don't represent our values today. It is the acceptance of all races & ethnicities that truly make not only Phoenix great but the entire USA.

I ask that you please consider my proposal to rename East Robert E Lee Street.E-mail comments submitted July 25. Comments submitted during July 28 community web forum.

Adjacent Requested meeting registration details. Clarified that he actually lives in Phoenix adjacent to RE Lee but has a Scottsdale postal address; parcel backyard faces RE Lee Street. Spoke at July 28 community web forum. Advocated for changing the name of the street to Buffalo Soldiers Way.

Buffalo Soldiers Way


In favor Yes I am writing to you about the proposed renaming of Robert E Lee. I am a resident in the area and am concerned about the initial proposed names by the City Council. The proposed street names (Justice or Freedom) don't reflect the other names in the area. While I am not opposed to renaming the street I don't feel that these street names fit (arguably the Robert E Lee name didn't fit either so again I think it makes sense for many reasons to rename).While I don't have any suggestions for your reference some of the other names are Villa Maria, Michigan, Annette, Villa Theresa, Villa Rita, Michelle, Charleston.I urge you to consider alternatives that are more fitting to the neighborhood.

In favor No I agree with changing the street name Robert E Lee to a more appropriate name. I think museum’s and libraries are appropriate place’s to highlight these people from our history. I don’t think we should idolize them in our everyday lives. Thank you


In favor No E-mailed the following statement: I live off Robert E Lee street and would like to see the street name changed. We should not be honoring a traitor who fought against our union to uphold slavery. I think John Lewis or any other civil rights activist would be more appropriate to name a street after.

Opposed No E-mailed the following statement: Your knee-jerk reaction to this “Cause Of The Moment” to erase our American history is all but an insult to most of us, most of us that remain silent due to the backlash from hate groups that cannot accept a difference in opinion to theirs. I have lived in Phoenix in excess of 20 years now. Leaving the mid-Atlantic region I had called home most of my life I had the privilege of exploring the battlefields of Gettysburg, Antietam and Manassas and visiting the Washington DC monuments and museums countless times as a child on school trips or family visits to these sites to enjoy our history, never once being offended or damaged by our history. On July 9th a letter posted by Alan Stephenson and Kini Knudson with the statement “street names deemed derogatory or offensive” in this letter was used in describing Robert E. Lee next to our home. Additionally Mayor Kate Gallego and Councilwoman Thelda Williams compiled their wherewithal to satisfy the group(s), either external on internal to our citylimits, need for destruction of our history. Though this is street name is small in appearance the Political Correctness must be shoved into our face not caring who it insults or offends, your goal is just to get by this “Cause Of The Moment” and get reelected sometime later after this blows over. I want a moratorium on all street and highway renaming’s in our state but I understand you are not my resource f thi tWeb comment submitted

Opposed No E-mailed the following statement: The impact of changing the street name does not outweigh the cost, time and effort being spent on this issue. Robert E. Lee - he’s part of history. We can’t change history. I doubt that few people know the character of the man or the history or would think about the history when they pass by or drive down that street. If the street name changes, where does it end? What next?

Efforts should be focused on what can be done to build or enhance relationships, public outreach/education and communication to change the heart and minds around this issue. There are more important issues that we are facing today - pandemic, unemployment, economy, education, etc. The sooner we look forward, the better.

We oppose changing the street name of Robert E. Lee. And we oppose and are offended that a few want to suppress American history.


In favor No I am in agreement with changing the name of Robert E Lee Street. If a street name is a reminder to Black Americans of revisionist history and a century and a half of systemic racism and oppression, changing the street name is a small step towards recognizing the struggles of Black Americans and understanding their perspective.

I have heard the logical fallacy that this will lead to “erasing history and burning all the history books." Removing a street name, or even a statue, does not erase history. Street names and statues are simply selective reminders of history; as a country struggling to move towards a post-racist society, it is important that we be reminded of that which is unifying rather than that which is divisive.

Thank you for taking my comments-E-mail received Aug. 4 In favor No : I asked to speak several times at the Robert E Lee renaming meeting this evening and

signed up to speak in the chat box, yet was never asked to. I'm extremely disappointed. I FAVOR the name change and would have appreciated my voice be heard. I'm not sure why they didn't continue the conversation, but I am frustrated that I wasn't given the opportunity to express my opinion. CHANGE THE NAME! Due justice to our Country and ALL citizens. It's time to change NOW.


Opposed Where will this statue smashing and street renaming era end? The loud voices of a tiny subculture of victimized groups blames their current plight on the past. To quote Victor Davis Hanson,a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institute: "The pretense is that the Civil War can only be regarded as tragic in terms of the present oppression of the descendants of Southern slaves — 154 years after the extinction of the Confederate states." Is this a broadbased cultural shift, or a simple blip in time due to a small group of frenzied activists who have received an unfortunate education that America is bad and needs to be taught a lesson. America is not perfect, but it is good. That's the point. People don't flee America because of oppression and hunger ! People flee their countries to come here. They don't care about the civil war. They care about their FREEDOM. Is the fact that a Northern General named Robert E Lee moving to the confederacy the worst of the worst? It is well known that as a Northern General he could not seek to plunder his home state of Virginia which was part of the South. Where does this stop? Jackson Street in South Phx named after President Jackson honors a man who signed the INDIAN REMOVAL ACT, dispossessing Indians who then incurred disease and death. He also opposed the abolitionist movement. Broadway road, now ceremonially named MLK Blvd honors a man that assaulted women and also let that happen in his presence, was a philanderer and plagiarized his PhD thesis. Getting back to being perfect to be good. None of the above were perfect, but their life stood for many good things. WHERE DOES THIS STOP?? The good and the bad are part of the American Story. Government leaders such as yourself should be driven by the long game, ie what will this mean for decades to come. This effort at statue removal and monument or street renaming is playing the short game. Why not vote on it????


In favor No Confederate monuments and symbols emerged in an effort to intimidate black Americans and uphold a revisionist — and racist — version of history. It is time for this to change. A quote from Annette Gordon Reed, a history scholar at Harvard states it best: "The United States was far from perfect, but the values of the Confederacy, open and unrepentant white supremacy and total disregard for the humanity of black people, to the extent they still exist, have produced tragedy and discord. There is no path to a peaceful and prosperous country without challenging and rejecting that as a basis for our society."


In favor No My family live on Michelle Drive, just south of Robert E Lee. I would like to submit the suggestion of ROBERTA as a replacement name. Most of the names in the neighborhood are female names (Angela, Libby, Muriel, Rita, Maria) so it would fit in. It would also be an easy mark of a pen to make the change from Robert E Lee for residents, softening the blow of such a change, totally apolitical,which is a good idea. It is benign enough not to cause upset.

Roberta


In favor No The street was renamed to Robert E Lee in 1961 as part of the racist backlash against the Civil Rights Movement. Its embarrassing that the name is still here and it must be renamed. Buffalo Soldier is a good name. I'm offended by the street names. I vote YES on renaming the street. Do we commemorate traitors and racists, or do we commemorate Buffalo Soldiers?

Buffalo Soldiers

E-mail submitted Aug. 6 In favor No Thank you for the opportunity to speak in favor of the proposed name change for Robert E. Lee Street. The proposal to change the street name is not about hiding, revising or "cancelling" history. It is about truth and accurately portraying history.I am sure you are familiar with the saying “history is written by the winners.” Well, in the case of the American Civil War, it appears that the narrative regarding the South in the Civil War was written by the losers. The narrative talks about the romantic notion of fighting for a lost cause; of preserving states’ rights and freedom from the tyranny of the federal government. All led by a group of brave and brilliant generals. Let’s be clear. The Civil War was about rebellion, treason and preserving the moral outrage of slavery. And Americans are still paying the price for that legacy. Naming streets after leaders of rebellions is not appropriate. If it is, how about renaming the street Benedict Arnold Street? After all, he was the "hero of Saratoga'?There are more appropriate ways to remember this history than through monuments and street namings. Let us not forget that until the recent Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Arizona was subject to pre-clearing of its elections procedure, because of a history of discrimination against black people.

Quote from March 24, 2019 National Review Article titled WAGING WAR AGAINST THE DEAD - Victor Davis Hansen"The 21st century is in danger of becoming an era of statue smashing and historical erasure. Not since the iconoclasts of the Byzantine Empire or the epidemic of statue destruction during the French Revolution has the world seen anything like the current war on the past. In 2001, the primeval Taliban blew up two ancient Buddha statues in Afghanistan on grounds that their very existence was sacrilegious to Islam. In 2015, ISIS militants entered a museum in Mosul, Iraq, and destroyed ancient, preIslamic statues and idols. Their mute crime? These artifacts predated the prophet Mohammed. The west prides itself on the idea that liberal societies would never descend into such nihilism. Think again. In the last two years there has been a rash of statue toppling throughout the American South, aimed at wiping out memorialization of Confederate heroes. The pretense is that the Civel War can only be regarded as tragic in terms of the present oppression of the descendants of Southern Slaves-154 years after the extinction of the Confederate States. The subtext of most current name changing and icon toppling is that particular victimized groups blame their current plight on the past. They assume that by destroying long-dead supposed enemies, they will be liberated-or at least feel better in the present."

Maybe the issue with this obscure street renaming should be the inflection point at which you don't just bow to a few loud voices who are offended by many things, maybe anything. As the saying goes, those who don't learn from the past are bound to repeat it. Our history teaches lessons about good and bad. The fact that history is taught only along lines that are "feel good" raises a generation of lopsided citizenry who are not equipped to go through life circumspectly. I am sure that the City of Phoenix has better things to do with our tax money than entertain the whims of the offended in a sliver of time where our society is going through a short term social spasm rather than a prolific and long term social change.


Opposed No I oppose the renaming and the current process of the renaming of the street, it is unconstitutional process at this time with covid19 happening. Open forum should be allowed so everyone can Express their concerns in person.

always found the name problematic. I believe that it should be changed and I want the City Council to know that as a resident there are some of us that believe it's problematic and doesn't have a place in Arizona.

Opposed Yes Written comments with meeting registration: Neither name alternatives are acceptable. Spoken comments at community forum:Thank you for the opportunity to speak. Like other people have stated, I purchased a home and it happened to be on this street. I picked the house because I could afford it and now this happens. My wife is permanently disabled and I'm a single-income household and the amount of fees is going to be more than I can afford all at one time. The other concern is that the other people in my house...will everyone in every house be reimbursed for any expenses or only the homeowner. (staff answer). The two choices -- Freedom and Justice -- if those are our choices we should leave it as Robert E. Lee. I don't agree with changing names and I'm sure if we had a non-virtual meeting you would hear a lot more of that. There are a lot of elderly people on this street that would express the same concern. I'm appalled with everything that is going on and I'm saddened by it.

Opposed Yes Written comments with meeting registration: Are there any other options for street names?What about all of the legal issues and paperwork for homeowners?

Opposed Yes Spoken comments at community forum: I'm a resident of Robert E. Lee Street. I'm a homeowner and am very upset by the whole thing. I think it's a waste of tax dollars for all of you people to be working on this when we have so many other needs in Phoenix. Just like the gentleman before said, we're trying to erase history and it's just not a good thing. We're letting people take over what America has been.

In favor Yes Spoken comments at community meeting: Already submitted. We do have a few questions. Unlike some of the people that spoke, we've been here 24 years and this is not the first time it has come up. David if you were there three years ago I may have spoken to you about it then. We're not for or against. When we moved in we almost didn't move in because of the street. Our feeling is that if we decide to rename make it easy and simple as possible. In 24 years you can't believe how this name has been mangled. If it's going to be done make it simple. I've submitted 7 or 8 names already. Do we get any say on the final candidates for a new name. I assume our number and zip code stay the same, correct? Do we get any say on the actual final name when it's narrowed down? (staff answer). I thought that Justice and Freedom -- we don't live in Massachusetts and the name should be relevant to Arizona if we do it.

Opposed Adjacent Written comments with meeting registration: I would like to see the name stay as it is. If that is not possible I don’t agree with the two names suggested at this time. They are politically motivated. It is not necessary to use the street renaming to express something political.

Opposed Adjacent Written comments with meeting registration: Renaming Robert E. Lee street is an ill-advised attempt to erase a portion of American history. As citizens of the United States, we are endowed with certain inalienable rights. The right to not be offended is not among them.

Opposed Written comments with meeting registration: Seems the emphasis is on newer homes and ignoring the history of the older section. Surely the elderly especially in the older section will get paid for all of their address changes for insurances, hospitals, and notaries which many cannot drive to.

Page 94


Opposed Written comments with meeting registration: Ignoring, changing or denying history is dangerous. It leads to repetition thereof. We need to learn from it. Slavery and war are bad things but hiding our heads in the sand will only ensure that they continue to happen. We need to concentrate on substance. Spoken comments at community meeting: I guess my biggest concern doesn't really involve the name or any name in particular. My concern is the current desire to either ignore or change or discount the history of our country. No matter how we change the name, it seems to me that it's going to offend somebody and the idea that ignoring history is somehow going to be a good thing goes against the thought that those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it. The next logical step would be we burn all of the history books. We study history so we can learn how to behave. I don't live on Robert E. Lee. I live in Belmont and Triple Crown. While it's not my street, I go in and out of my complex on that street every day. I think it's just as easy to offend by changing it as it is to offend them by leaving it. We need to focus on thinking and not feelings. Burning history books is not the answer.

""Buffalo Soldier Way (or Boulevard or street). The Buffalo Soldiers were African-American horse mounted US Army Calvary Soldiers that operated in Southern Arizona.Spoken comments at community meeting: I live in the Triple Crown neighborhood and my house backs up to Robert E. Lee separated by a short green belt. I'm looking forward to this change that I think can be a positive forward thinking change. I have a suggestion for a particular name that resonates with my name and Arizona. My family's suggestion is to rename it Buffalo Soldier Way or Boulevard or Street. Buffalo Soldiers were an African-American horse mounted cavalry troop that operated out of southern Arizona near Fort Huachuca. This name maintained through the horse mounted days all the way to the Korean War when the army was integrated, when the name was consolidated. My wife's grandfather was in a Buffalo Soldier unit during the two world wars. We have a direct personal connection to that. We also have a military tie...one of my nephews is in the Army currently. He's a lieutenant colonel and I have another nephew who was in the Arizona National Guard when they were deployed to Afghanistan. He is a direct descendant of a Buffalo Soldier -- his great grandfather. Also there's an Arizona tie-in. The Civil War barely touched Arizona other than one small skirmish. The Buffalo Solders were based here and maintained a presence for many years. There also is a horse theme. I live in Triple Crown -- there are three horses at the entrance to the neighborhood. But I think the connection with the horses is neat and gives it a certain connection. I think this can be positive forward-thinking event and I've heard people talk about that this should've been done long ago. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is today. By doing this name change we're planting the tree now.

Opposed Adjacent Spoken comments at community meeting:Thank you for taking the time with us. I'm in the same boat as the last two speakers. I live just off the street and have to go on the street to get to my street. I take zero offense that that is the name. I just use it to drive on. He happens to be on the losing side. I feel like we're trying to ignore or erase history and history is what we learn from. Have we in America made mistakes? Absolutely. But that doesn't change the fact that we have moved forward, more forward than any nation in the world. I hope that we're not about to do the same thing and spend time and taxpayer dollars to rename Washington and Jefferson and Van Buren and up to a dozen president named streets that we have in our city because they were slave owners. It doesn't make slave ownership correct but those are people that propelled us into history and founded our country. I would hate to see us do this. I don't want to see us rename any street. If there's something to honor, but to take away from history I completely disagree with and I also would hope... I'd rather see $3,200 that was mentioned... I'd rather you take that money and repave 44th Street and Robert E. Lee and do something that is productive that people can enjoy every day versus having to learn a new street name because we wanted to get rid of part of our history.

I've lived here my entire life and pass this street every day and realize that is kind of strange to change things and it feels like we're changing history. Robert E. Lee is not an important figure in Arizona. We'll still know about him and know about him in history classes. The reason it's important to change the name is because naming a street after someone says that that person is admirable. We need to be respecting in our society. Robert E. Lee was fighting to continue to enslave an entire group of people that is not the kind of person you want to memorialize in our "post racial" society. I understand this will be inconvenient but it will help any Black person that walks by the street there's a feeling that I'm not cared for, I don't matter. So I think it's an important change that needs to happen and a first step toward reparations for people that have been harmed.

I see bullying is a problem in schools, workplaces and homes. Is it ridiculous to stand up to bullies? Our country is being bullied into canceling our past.

We don't have any streets named after Hitler, and I don't think anyone has any issues remembering the atrocities he's responsible for. I'm in favor and very much support renaming and am surprised it didn't happen sooner. I like both proposed alternatives and would prefer Freedom.

I never gave the street name a second thought and wouldn’t have bought a house here if the name were an issue. I think it's a terrible inconvenience. I'd like to be reimbursed for both costs and time to update addresses. Also Robert E. Lee in Scottsdale and Glendale...what will happen with those? I have to write this address on my correspondence. If the name must be changed. I don't like Buffalo Soldiers because it's too long. I prefer Falcon because there are a lot of falcons and hawks found in this area all the time.

Spoken comments at community forum: Mentioned that he sent online comments separately. What was the history of the naming of this street? How many people have been offended? How many people have come forward to say they're offended? (Staff responds about history of the name). I vote no for the change. Temporary cultural upheaval, a spasm, and I don't see it as a long-term cultural shift. If we change that, we should change Jackson Street, who signed the Indian Removal Act....and opposed the abolitionist movement. How far will this go and how will this end and how many people are we going to try to placate.

Spoken comments at community forum:At the last meeting someone mentioned that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The time to be concerned about the street was when residents purchased their homes. If it was offensive then, we would've dealt with it. It's impossible to come up with a name that won't offend someone. There's no end to who can be offended. Government shouldn't placate hurt feelings, it's to build roads. Recommend 182nd Street northeast. We need to grow up and stop wasting city funds. There are costs to updating many things, GPS, and on and on. We have opiate and other problems. This is over the top. I vote no on renaming.

Spoken comments at community forum (separately submitted comments via web comment form): Thank you for the meeting. I attended the first and had more comments. As I mentioned in the first meeting, I suggest Buffalo Soldier Way (description of Buffalo Soldiers). We have a family tie to this. We have a military tie-in as we have veterans and active duty armed services. It's horse themed...it's relevant to the Triple Crown theme on our street. Positive, forward thinking. It's a burden on residents but urge them to consider the good will this will bring. This doesn't change history...it's simply a street name. In 2020, I ask that we commemorate a group of army veterans. Buffalo Soldier Way

Lee had positive aspects of his character: Christian, veteran, raised Washington's niece and was known as an honorable man. Lincoln asked him to run the country's military. We should remember the good not just the bad. When does renaming stop? We could find wrong that the Maricopa Indians did and we'd need to change the name of the county. There is no benefit in changing the name except to erase our history and fix past sins in this cultural war that we're in. I have been fired from my job because of my name and it's horrendous what I'm going through as a commercial pilot.

Comments

Opposed Summary of spoken comments: The renaming effort is taking money away from the city's many other financial needs, such as addressing speeding on our street and funding the Police Department. This is not a priority in our city. Why is this a problem now? How long will be eligible for reiumbursement for costs as they arise? Can we have bills sent directly to the city?Summary of spoken comments: I am fundamentally against "virture signalling." Let the residents pick a new name.

Opposed Summary of spoken comments: Speaker questioned the legality of conducting a process such as this using electronic communication, and he objects to the policy under which this renaming process was begun. He requested the documentation that established the legality of electronic meetings during a pandemic.

Opposed Summary of spoken comments: Changing the street name will create unsolvable problems when title searches are conducted for homes on the street, driving costs to close to $1,000. It could take years to solve the title issues that would be created by renaming the street. This also will create challenges for people to receive prescription drugs and other important parcels through the mail.

Opposed Summary of spoken comment: This effort is a big waste of taxpayer money.

Request to formally consider renaming S**** Peak Drive in accordance with the City'sStreet Naming Policy that allows City Council members to seek a change to arecorded street name when it is considered derogatory or offensive based on CityCode Section 18-1. Staff requests approval to change the name of S**** Peak Drive,as well as approval of the proposed new street name selection process outlined in thisreport, and of the proposed cost reimbursement policy for impacted residents,businesses and property owners outlined in this report. Further request authorizationfor the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.

SummaryIn accordance with the City of Phoenix Street Naming Process approved by the CityCouncil on June 27, 2017 (Attachment A), the City Council on July 1, 2020 voted todirect staff to begin the process to consider renaming of S**** Peak Drive. The StreetNaming Process requires conducting two community meetings, which the July 1, 2020action authorized to be done virtually due to the pandemic. The process also requiresa technical review process of proposed new names to ensure conformity to adoptedstreet naming criteria. The Council approved process requires that within 90 days ofthe request an item be placed on a Council agenda to decide on the proposed streetrenaming. This report contains detailed information on public input, the technicalreview of proposed alternate names, a proposed process for additional involvement byS**** Peak Drive property owners in the selection of a new street name, and a detailedplan to assist residents to update their addresses, including an outline of the costreimbursement process, should the Council approve renaming of the street.

Public InputOn July 1, 2020, the Council approved the initiation of the process for consideration ofrenaming S**** Peak Drive. That Council action included a temporary process revisionto allow the two required community meetings to be conducted virtually due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. As stated in the July 1, 2020 Council-approved action: “Thecurrent process as approved by Council requires two public meetings to be conductedin the vicinity of each of the streets proposed for renaming. However, because of theCOVID-19 pandemic, staff requests as part of this action Council approval to revise

Page 114


the process to allow virtual public meetings to obtain public input from the affectedneighbors and community.” Staff conducted three web forums to discuss the proposedrenaming of S**** Peak Drive and obtain community input. Residents were able toparticipate online or use their phones, including traditional landline telephones, whichis similar to public participation at Council meetings during the pandemic. Residentsand property owners of S**** Peak Drive were notified of the opportunity to participatein the meetings through certified mailings and signs placed at two locations along thestreet. A third community web forum was scheduled to provide members of the NativeAmerican community and the public an opportunity to comment on the renamingproposal. The live community web forums were held on July 30, Aug. 5 and Aug. 11,2020.

The community was also notified of the opportunity to provide input in other ways theCity made available. These included:· Telephone to directly speak with staff

· Comment form on dedicated street renaming webpage:www.phoenix.gov/street-renaming

· Postal mail

In all, 117 people participated in the community forums. In addition to the spoken andwritten comments from forum attendees, there were 73 submitted written commentsrelated to the proposed S**** Peak Drive renaming.

Attachment B includes all of the public input gathered at the web forums, includingthe attendees' positions on renaming, and a compilation of all comments submitted viaemail, web comment form, telephone and in writing. Comments from people whoindicated they lived on or immediately adjacent (within one block) to the street arelisted first and highlighted in yellow on all of the meeting and comment spreadsheets.Given the small number of total parcels on the street, there is not a large respondentpopulation from which to generalize feedback. Some commented that the decision torename should be solely up to residents. Residents in support of renaming did expressconcern about potential costs of updating their address, while others suggestedalternate names.

Proposed NamesDuring the comment period, residents proposed a total of 20 alternative names forS**** Peak Drive. City staff performed a technical review of all the proposed names todetermine those that met the criteria outlined in the Maricopa Association ofGovernments Address and Street Assignment Policy Manual. The proposed namesthat met the established criteria are listed in Attachment C.

Page 115


The criteria used to assess alternate name proposals first examines availability. If theproposed name is already in use on a street elsewhere in the greater Phoenix area,then it is determined to be not eligible; 12 proposed street names were excludedbecause of non-availability. This standard excludes those names to avoid adding to thelist of duplicate street names and increasing the potential for confusion in emergencycalls for Fire or Police services. Staff must also examine street names that may beoverly difficult to pronounce or spell; one proposed street name was identified as notrecommended due to not meeting this standard. This standard is also related toavoiding confusion for emergency dispatchers and first responders in critical life-safetysituations. During the public input process, a statement was made that one of theproposed names, Piestewa, may be difficult to pronounce or spell; however "Piestewa"is currently a very familiar name in the Phoenix area. Piestewa is the name of theadjacent Mountain Peak, as well as the name of the Arizona State Route 51 Freeway,both named in honor of Lori Piestewa. Piestewa Peak Drive was proposed more than20 times by members of the community to replace S**** Peak Drive during the publicinput process.

Proposed Process for Selection of New Street NameThe proposed new street names listed in Attachment C were proposed both byresidents living on and adjacent to S**** Peak Drive and by members of the broadercommunity. Several of the S**** Peak Drive residents/owners indicated a desire tomake the decision or at least have a larger say in the selection of the new street nameby being allowed to vote on the new name. Because by ordinance the City Councilmust take action to vote on the new name, any vote by property owners would be anadvisory recommendation to the City Council who would then make the final decision.

In responding to the request from residents, staff proposes the following process forselection of the new street name, if the City Council approves renaming the street:· The City would conduct a process to allow property owners along S**** Peak Drive

to provide an advisory vote to the City Council for the new name of the street. TheCity Council would still be required to take the final action on an ordinance tochange the name of the street.

· Certified letters would be mailed to property owners of S**** Peak Drive with asurvey containing the list of eligible proposed names that met the City criteria. Eachletter would include a unique code that would allow the survey to be returned bymail or be submitted online.

· The survey would use a weighted ranking form of tabulation that would requireresidents to rank their top five name choices in their order of preference.

Page 116


· A top-ranked choice would earn the highest numerical value with second, third andlater ranked choices yielding correspondingly lower values.

· These ranking values would be totaled at the end of the vote to show the aggregatepreference among property owners along S**** Peak Drive.

· To ensure adequate time is provided, staff estimates this process may takeapproximately six weeks before returning to the Council for final action on the newstreet name.

· The results of the vote would be provided to the City Council at a future meetingalong with a request to approve a new street name, along with an effective date.

· Staff will recommend that the effective date of the new name not occur before Jan.11, 2021 to ensure sufficient time for residents, property owners and the City tomake necessary changes.

Street BackgroundS**** Peak Drive has 20 single-family residential parcels. The street runs east to westfrom Lincoln Drive to the boundary of the Phoenix Mountains Park and Preserve. Theentrance to the street is approximately 1/2 mile east of State Route 51 (Attachment D).

As seen in Attachment D, the first parcels on what is now S**** Peak Drive weredeveloped in 1962 with the dedicated street name of "Flyn" Lane. A second dedicationin May 1964 listed "Flynn" as the recorded street name. In July 1964, the Phoenix CityCouncil changed the name from "Flyn" or "Flynn" Lane to S**** Peak Drive. The IndianHills Four subdivision, approved by the City Council in November 1965, was the first tobe recorded with the new name of S**** Peak Drive.

CostsThe Street Transportation Department estimates it will cost the City approximately$600 to fabricate and install news signs on S**** Peak Drive, which will come fromfunds available in the Street Transportation Department's current fiscal year budget.

The Street Renaming Policy also stipulates that the City cover residents' documenteddirect costs to update their address on personal documents and records, which staffestimates could be approximately $150 per address. Households are likely to havemultiple residents that are impacted, which the estimate intends to account for. Homesthat use their address for a registered business also may experience additional coststhat exceed a typical residence.

An accurate estimate of resident/owner costs is difficult because in some instancesresidents have discretion on which documents to replace. For example, banks

Page 117


contacted by the City have explained that checks with the prior address can still beused as long as the account and routing numbers are the same. Residents cancontinue to use those checks as is, or simply handwrite in a corrected street name untilthey exhaust their existing supply. Also, the state Motor Vehicle Services Department(MVD) does not require driver’s licenses to be replaced for an address change; theaddress only needs to be updated in the agency’s system within ten days at no cost.However, many people use their driver’s license as a form of identification that showstheir current address. If a resident chooses to replace their driver’s license, per theprocess outlined below, the City will reimburse the cost to replace it, which is currently$12.

In some cases, both a property owner who leases their property and tenants will beimpacted. Based on the most recent Maricopa County property records available, fiveproperties are owned by people with different mailing addresses, which could indicatethat the properties are occupied by renters. Should all properties and tenants incurcosts at the high end of the estimate, combined costs would be approximately $4,000.Based on Council approval, the funding will be allocated to the Planning andDevelopment Department budget to cover the reimbursement costs.

Proposed Cost Reimbursement PolicyStaff proposes the following policy to reimburse expenses for impacted S**** PeakDrive residents and property owners:· Property or business owners located on, or any individuals who live on, S**** Peak

Drive as of the effective date of the change are eligible to be reimbursed by the Cityfor any costs directly associated with address changes related to renaming S****Peak Drive. The reimbursement will not include any cost for time spent makingchanges.

· City staff will be available to assist residents with any changes, as needed.

· As outlined later in this report, there are also several changes and notificationswhich the City is making on behalf of residents to reduce the time spent byimpacted individuals.

· For reimbursement, affected individuals will need to complete a simple City requestform along with receipts or other documentation to the City.

· The forms will be available in paper form for those who prefer to mail hard copies,as well as web forms, through which they can attach scanned receipts and submitreimbursement requests electronically.

· The City standard will be for residents to be reimbursed for eligible costs withinthree weeks of the City receiving the request.

· There is no time limit for impacted residents to submit for or receive reimbursementof eligible costs.

Page 118


· There is also no limit to the number of times an impacted resident can submit forand receive reimbursement if all reimbursements are for different eligible costs.

The Planning and Development Department (PDD) will work with the FinanceDepartment to process reimbursements. If for any reason a resident or property owneris denied reimbursement, the decision may be appealed to the City Managerrepresentative within the Planning and Development Department. Staff has created aworking draft of a form that residents would use to request reimbursement (Attachment E). When finalized, this will be adapted as an online form for thoseresidents that wish to submit request forms and receipts electronically.

City Staff Updating ResponsibilitiesShould the Council approve a new street name, city staff will send official notification ofthe name change to an extensive list of agencies so they can update customeraddresses in their respective systems. City staff is currently in communication with theMaricopa County Recorder’s Office, which will work with the City to record a streetname change notification for purposes of deed, deed of trust and voter registrationrecords for impacted residents and property owners. PDD staff will formally notifythese City departments: Police, Fire, City Clerk, Finance, Law, Neighborhood Services,Street Transportation, and Water Services. PDD staff also will complete an importantnotification to the United States Postal Service (USPS). At staff request, the USPS. willcreate a "change alias" in their computer system that ties any new street name foreach property to the old street name. Thus, any mail addressed using an old streetname will automatically be re-routed to the address with the new name. These changealiases do not expire and will ensure mail sent through USPS will be re-routedindefinitely. All property address numbers will remain unchanged.

PDD staff also will send official street name change notifications to the MaricopaCounty Assessor's Office, Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project, Southwest Gas,Cox Communications, CenturyLink, Federal Express, United Parcel Service (UPS), aswell as private mapping services including Google, Bing, Yahoo, MapQuest and WideWorld of Maps.

If the Council approves renaming S**** Peak Drive, staff will send via certified mail athird set of documents to residents and property owners that includes a formal letter ofapproval, a copy of the recorded ordinance, and a completed address changenotification. Residents can keep these documents in their records should they need todocument or show proof of the street name change for any reason in the future.

Resident AssistancePhoenix Public Library staff will continue to be available to directly assist impacted

Page 119


residents. Staff researched address update processes for multiple agencies to assistresidential property owners, rental residents and business owners. Library staffcreated quick reference lists, complete with hyperlinks, on the street renamingwebpage for updating addresses with the MVD, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS),Maricopa County Recorder - Voter Registration and Property Deed/Title, the SocialSecurity Administration and Department of Veterans Affairs. The online guide also hassuggestions for updating addresses with insurance companies; cell phone providers;employers; banks, credit reporting bureaus and other financial institutions; schools andchildcare providers and online shopping sites. The resource guide for business ownersincludes quick reference address update links for the IRS, Arizona Department ofRevenue, Arizona Secretary of State, Arizona Corporation Commission and businesscredit reporting agencies. It adds suggestions for updating addresses with customers;banks and other financial institutions; and on websites, social media and other onlinelocal search tools. Residents that need or prefer live assistance can speak by phone toLibrary staff during normal library hours.

Timing of ChangeIf the City Council approves a new name at the Sept. 16 Formal Meeting, staffrecommends that the effective date of a new street name be no earlier than Jan. 11,2021. This will ensure sufficient time to process changes and avoid any addressuncertainty during the upcoming election and holidays.

Financial ImpactThe Street Transportation Department estimates a total cost of $600 to fabricate andinstall new signs on S**** Peak Drive; the department will use existing fiscal yearbudgeted funds to cover this cost. Staff estimates a total cost of approximately $4,000to cover costs to reimburse residents and property owners for direct expenses incurredrelated to changing the address. These funds will be allocated to the Planning andDevelopment Department from the General Fund.

Opposed Yes Greetings,I would like to share two points regarding the proposed renaming of streets:1.) Based on discussion with City Council representatives, I have confirmed this is a response to racial justice demonstrations in Phoenix. Changing a street name does nothing to address this problem. I urge you to not confuse doing something for doing the right thing. As leaders of the community it is incumbent upon you to identify causes of racism and address them. This isn't easy an easy problem to solve so don't be enticed to take easy actions.2.) The process for renaming is unfair to the residents. The vote taken at the July 1 City Council meeting was done without reaching out to us residents. The scheduled meetings for public comment are open to all which can drown out the residents' opinions. Yet, you have called a special meeting giving the supposed offended group a special opportunity to be heard.

Web comment submitted Aug. 2Opposed Yes I live on Squaw Peak Dr. 2 items:1. I am NOT in support of changing the name. We have asked the City Council directly for their plan to improve racial inequality in our city, and the response was we are renaming a street. They admitted thisis not part of any comprehensive solution. Their time, effort and resources should be spent on solving the real issue. This is a symbolic gesture that solves nothing. I want the City Council to know The City of Phoenix deserves better, and I am holding them accountable for real solutions.

2. Should the renaming move forward, Given these tense times, A generic name that is NOT linked to any ethnicity, Or particular Tribe, would be the prudent choice. Peak Drive, Sunset Drive or Iron Mountain Drive would All preserve at least a shred of our valuable history. Under NO circumstances amI in favor of anything with the name Piestewa in it.

Thank you for your consideration.

Peak DriveSunset DriveIron Mountain Drive

Web and e-mail comment.

Yes If the mayor and city council vote to force the renaming of Squaw Peak Drive, I would propose the following names for the reasons noted below (in addition to the fact they do not appear on the list of current PHOENIX street names found online and are easy to pronounce, write, and spell):

Sunset Place – When heading down the street from the mountain in the evening, there are beautiful views of Arizona sunsets, and many people head up to the mountain to view the gorgeous sunsets. Desert Sage Dr. – The Desert Sage bush is well known in the Valley, especially for its beautiful purple flowers. Desert Sunset Dr. – Another very descriptive name for the beautiful drive down the street being considered for renaming. Mountain Pass – Certainly descriptive of the drive into the park.

In favor No Supports renaming Squaw Peak Drive

I am not in favor of renaming Squaw Peak Drive. Though I respect the Native American community, even the Native American community is not in agreement regarding whether or not “squaw” is a derogatory term (see 3/23/2017 article in Indian Country Today). The mayor and council are pandering

Opposed Yes

Attachment B



Not specified Request for meeting registration details. No comments given


Opposed No Where is the proof that the word “Squaw” was ever a derogatory term until a particular newspaper publisher decided to gain attention/sales and then started a campaign which led to all other team mascots being “derogatory!” I will not buy into erasing my Native American heritage! Before you know it, “Native American, American Indian,” Aqua Caliente, Tucson, Santa Fe,” etc. will be deemed derogatory!!!

As for Robert E. Lee’s name, I refuse to be a part of erasing our history. I refuse the kool-aid!!!


No I don't live on either street names, just a City resident for 48 years. Is this really the best use for City taxes? City budgets are severely strained now, especially with Covid-19. I am sensitive to the names but should this be phased in over time after the virus is controlled? Don't need a return response just you consideration for the City budget.


In favor No (.4 miles away)

As a homeowner near the base of Piestewa Peak for 30 years, a frequent hiker of the mountain, and Coordinator of the annual March 23 Piestewa Fallen Heroes Sunrise Service in the park, I urge City Council to change the name of “Squaw Peak Drive” to “Piestewa Peak Drive.”

The name “Piestewa Peak Drive” would give the street a very meaningful name which would honor Lori Piestewa, the first Native American woman to die for our Country in overseas combat. It would also honor all our military heroes and recognize that this Country and the freedoms we enjoy today are made possible only through their courageous sacrifices. This is the focus of our annual sunrise service at Piestewa Peak. A very important part of Lori’s dedication sign at the summit trailhead states that “By recognizing one hero, we honor all military heroes and raise public awareness that regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, we all come together to defend our homeland.”

This public street has always been named after the mountain as it is the only road that leads directly to Piestewa Peak. It has been directly tied in to the prominence of the mountain and has served as a landmark that helps show visitors where to turn and how to get to Piestewa Peak. Renaming the street “Piestewa Peak Drive” would be the proper thing to do.

The name of the road was not changed when the mountain’s name was changed because there was a different process for renaming streets. As a result, Squaw Peak Drive has continued to carry a name deemed derogatory and offensive towards Native Americans. It is a glaring inconsistency with the city’s proud Point of Pride designation of Piestewa Peak in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve and with the city’s position as a great all-inclusive city.

Piestewa Peak Drive


In favor No As a member of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) District 1 (Maricopa County, Arizona) I strongly support renaming the Squaw Peak Drive to LORI PIESTEWA DRIVE. AS A SOLDIER AND FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN to die in combat, it is appropriate to name the Drive in her name.

So again rename the drive to LORI PIESTEWA DRIVE.

Piestewa Drive

Web comment form In favor No My family has resided in Phoenix for more than 50 years, the past 20 years in a home near the base of Piestewa Peak Mountain.As one of the original members of the Arizona Piestewa Committee, I herewith join the many others who recommend changing the name of "Sqyaw Peak Drive" to "PIESTEWA PEAK DRIVE", as reflected in the three main reasons documented and submitted to the Phoenix City Council by the "Arizona For Piestewa Committee".To be clear, it was not just co-incidental that "INDIAN SCHOOL ROAD" was given its name because it was the only road leading directly to the historic Indian School campus.Likewise, it was not co-incidental that phoenix's "CENTRAL AVENUE" was given its name because it was the only central street which divides the east side of Phoenix from the west side of Phoenix.Hence, the public street leading to the Piestewa Peak Mountain should be named after the mountain, as it is the only road/street that leads directly to Piestewa Peak Mountain.It's always good to give name to a street that has meaning. So many have died for the freedom we have today.Respectfully submitted,Jesse J. Ary; Realtor, HOMESMART, INC.

E-mail comment July 22

In favor No As "Old Country Doctor Grandpa" my commendation response to your proposed derogatory Street Name Change near "Piestewa Peak" is as follows: As you plan for the new name for the road leading to the already re-named Piestewa Peak Tourist attraction, replacing the derogatory "Squaw Peak" name, Commendations go to the Piestewa Family, the continuing Piestewa Memorial Committee, the past Legislative action of the Arizona Legislature and the very supportive Governor Janet Napolitano. All are to be highly commended for their past name change role achievements. You, of the Phoenix City Council are also to be highly commended for your current follow-up Leadership, which will hopefully lead to the logically proposed nearby street name revision to become: "Piestewa Peak Drive." This proposed new name makes a very helpful non- derogatory guidance connection linkage name from the Street leading to the Peak for those seeking to reach their Piestewa Peak visitation destination. Why do I feel so strongly as "Old Country Doctor Grandpa" on this name change issue? In all my long Family Physician action life of 62 years working with many Native American Tribal Nations, since 1958, it is very impressive that: I have Never heard a Native American personally refer to another Native American Woman as a "SQUAW." !!!

NoThe most appropriate and logical name for the street is Piestewa Peak Drive.This is the only road leading to Piestewa Peak, and serves as a landmark to show visitors where to turn. Squaw Peak Drive is derogatory and offensive to Native Americans. Please consider the name change.

E-mailed comments July 24

In favor No I’ve lived in Phoenix since 1974. I’ve hiked Piestewa Peak for years until it got so crowded. The street leading to Peak has reflected the name of the peak. Yet Squaw is not a friendly name to our Native American Indians. I grew up in Oklahoma with 51 American Tribes. We were taught the culture history of the Native American Indians. I feel that when Squaw was changed to honor Lori Piestwesa in 2003/4 the street leading to the peak ought have been changed as well. So for years it’s been a conflict. It’s time to respect our Native American Indian culture and match the the street name with the peak name Piestwesa Peak Dr Piestwesa Dr. And while on the subject Robert E Lee was president of the confederacy and since we are a unified nation. This name needs to change also. Unity Street Unified Street. My Dads family came to US in 1652 in Maryland most fought Missouri both sides I’m sure. The Upchurch came in 1635 to Jamestown then North Carolina I’m sure confederate side but once the Civil war came to an end. Both families have served in military over the years. So what do you name a street with such history of a man. Patriot Street, Drive Lane Place think of the Revolutionary time in our country. Yes many of our leaders had slaves. It’s our history neither right wrong just a strong believe Federal was not good g to rule the states. Decisions kind like today. How about naming the street after Michael Williams killed March 23 2003 Same day as Lori Piestwesa. Or another hero police officer fireman Good Luck it’s time to look at what we name sites streets to reflect respect for all cultures and races.

In favor No Squaw Peak Drive is very derogatory to American Indians. Does no one remember how Squaw Peak Mountain and Squaw Peak freeway had to be renamed because the word Squaw is offensive????


In favor No I think renaming Squaw Peak Rd to Piestewa Peak is in the best interest of our city. It is also a safe and easy way to find Piestewa Peak. I Am proud of our city for recognizing appropriate times to make important changes.

Web comment submitted July 30Opposed No In 2017 when the Mayor and City Council brought up the issue of changing the name of Squaw Peak Dr, the process was that if the majority of the residents opposed the name change it would not be done. Well, to the dismay of the Mayor and City Council that happened. So the process was intentionally changed by the Mayor and city council to side-step the residents and cut them out of the process. I was under the impression, and it seems mistakenly, that government officials serve the people not dictate.

Recently a sign facing the Lincoln Dr traffic was placed close to the intersection of Lincoln Dr and Squaw Peak Dr with info about the name change and dates for this hearing. This was not done in 2017. It seems the Mayor and City Council is doing it’s best to rub the name change process in the faces of the residents in trying to drum up support for their cause.

I have lived on Squaw Peak Dr for 10 years and in that 10 years I have never had anyone complain to me about the name of our street. In instances where I have needed to give my address to someone, why is it that they almost always asked me to spell it? Maybe it’s because it has no significant meaning to them and or they have never even heard the name before. As home owners and tax payers it is quite upsetting that those who have no financial investment in a home or pay taxes to live on our street have more say than this street’s residents do.

Instead of doing something really meaningful that could possibly be life changing and have a permanent impact on a specific community as in this case the Native Americans, what do you do? You changed a street name! Wow! That’s one for the history books! This action really helped a lot of people in need right????

I am sorry but it feels more like pandering to me. Throw them a bone and hope they go away until it’s election time again.

E-mail comments submitted Aug. 1In favor I strongly disapprove of the derogatory name of "squaw". I strongly agree that Phoenix rename the Drive to Piestewa Drive.

Piestewa Drive

E-mail comments submitted Aug. 3In favor I am happy to hear that Phoenix is seriously considering changing the name of this street to match the official name of Piestewa Peak. I am very aware of the controversy involved. I taught at Tuba City high school for over two decades, and am good friends with the Piestewa family; in fact, even had Lori in a class briefly. I was at her memorial service in Tuba City and talked directly with Lori's oldest brother Wayland about the meeting they earlier had that day with the Governor when she announced the planned name change. Of course, it's the Hopi way to be courteous and deferential to any guest (esp. the Az. governor)..Wayland had told me they appreciated the honor to his sister but had also commented that they desired the honor to be for ALL veterans...... Later, he told me that they were upset because so many had politicized the name change, and they just wanted unity. ... This is also the idea behind the yearly honoring they have around March 22 at Piestewa Peak; while it revolves around Lori, they also honor many other veterans at the ceremony. The Piestewa name is much more honorable and deserves to preserve the contributions of Arizona veterans for years to come (Lori was half Hopi and half Mexican). The squaw peak name will always be controversial. Native Americans you conslt will be almost as split on this as "redskins".....but from the white perspective, the word "squaw" itself implies "possession" of a woman. And in at least one of the Iroquois languages it refers to a "vagina." Given today's climate, it makes a great deal of sense to be objective and rename the street Piestewa Peak drive ..... and not dwell on decades old stereotypical slang that disrespects Arizona's indigenous people. I hike Piestewa Peak and area daily--it's not far away and gives me a chance to honor the Piestewa family I would welcome the opportunity to travel up the street with that most honorable name.

Web comment submitted Aug. 1No

I think SRP-MIC & GRIC NEED to be at the center of this renaming of a mountain in THEIR homeland.


Opposed The last time the Mayor and the City Council tried changing the name of Squaw Peak Drive, a local news anchor, John Hook from Channel 10, solicited comments from the public on his Facebook page. He got over 200 responses, and an OVERWHELMING NUMBER DID NOT SUPPORT CHANGING THE NAME OF SQUAW PEAK DRIVE. Only 2 out of more than 200 responses agreed with the name being changed. The general public does not agree with bothering with this name change and thinks the Council’s time and energy should be better spent on more important issues.



Opposed No I am deeply disappointed that we have come to this point in our lives where we must accommodate the few, the loud and the rude because they are offended by a commonly used named throughout history. It wasn’t without controversy that Squaw Peak was renamed to Piestewa Peak in 2003. Fast forward to 2020 and here we are “sanitizing our history to make a group of people feel better”. So, let’s make this change to Squaw Peak Drive a powerful one that honors the life of a native son. Charles H. Keating, IV, the first Navy SEAL from Phoenix and the state, to be killed. Charlie, as he is often referred to, was killed in Iraq on May 3, 2016 serving during Operation Inherent Resolve, at the age of 31. As part of a quick-response force mission to aid American troops under attack, he became the third American service member to die fighting the Islamic State group. Charlie was born and raised in Phoenix, graduated from Arcadia High School and could frequently be found hiking or running the trails of Piestewa Peak. There is so much more to tell, and for that reason, there are several of us that would be happy to make a presentation to the City Council regarding this amazing young man and why it is the right thing to do in naming Squaw Peak Drive in honor of him.For additional information, please see the following: https://c4foundation.org/; https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2016/05/03/navy-seal-killed-by-isis-fire-in-iraq-identified/; https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Charles+Keating+IV+Death+Video&ru=%2fvideos%2fsearch%3fq%3dCharles%2bKeating%2bIV%2bDeath%2bVideo%26FORM%3dVDMHRS&view=detail&mid=6BC44B8106EFCCABEED06BC44B8106EFCCABEED0&rvsmid=66B7D176420D2DFA2B7F66B7D176420D2DFA2B7F&FORM=VDQVAP

No You should also rename Indian School Road. The “Indian schools’” primary purpose was to assimilate native Americans children into white culture, erasing their identities.

I am for renaming the Squaw Peak Dr.


So, just to clarify…We are expected to change the name of Squaw Peak Drive while the Native Americans still perform the SQUAW DANCE (their name, not ours) as part of their religious ceremonies and they still make SQUAW BREAD?! What’s wrong with this picture? The Mayor, City Council, and Squaw Peak Drive residents are being held hostage by a small, but vocal group who don’t necessarily speak for the entire First Nation. If the tribes really felt it was so demeaning of their women, they would not continue to use the name in their own ceremonies and other aspects of their culture, especially since many of the tribes in Arizona are matriarchal/matrilineal societies; e.g., Navajo, Hopi, or matrilineal; e.g., Pima. If this issue had any real merit, the Native Americans should first deal with it in their own ceremonies and culture before expecting others to do the same.


In favor No One can be named after the Peak. The other, how about Lincoln Ragsdale - after my old neighbor who was a Tuskegee Airman!

Piestewa Peak Drive


Oppposed No To Whom it May Concern:I am not for renaming the streets, parks, or anything else in Phoenix. My belief is that there are more important things to be worried about other than worrying about names of the things in Phoenix. I do not believe that it is offensive and I feel it was offensive to rename Squaw Peak...and to this day we that are natives will always call it Squaw Peak. Here is a link that I found that explains how things got their name and what it means.https://press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/534650.html The world has become offended by almost everything, so why not take time and sit back and let things take it's course. Everyone that I talk to is not offended and think that there's more important issues at hand than renaming things so as not offend.

No To: Mayor Gallego, Councilman Sal DiCiccio, Mario PaniaguaLast night in the August 5th Squaw Peak Drive street renaming meeting, Mario Paniagua responded in reference to a question as to why Squawbush Place was not also targeted for a name change since it has the supposed derogatory name “squaw” in it. We were told that because the name comes from the Squawbush, a shrub plant, the word “squaw” is not considered derogatory. But the word “squaw” in Squaw Peak Dr. is derogatory? How interesting! So, the word “bush” nullifies the derogatory meaning of “squaw” but the word “peak” does not. Do you know how stupid and lame that sounds?? Especially since the Collins Dictionary online indicates that the word’s origin is so called from its use of the plant by Native Americans. If the Native Americans are not interested in the renaming of Squawbush Place also, how is there any validity in their claim in wanting to change the name of Squaw Peak Dr.? Let’s explore the meaning of what a double standard is: Definition - A double standard is the application of different sets of principles for situations that are, in principle, the same. It is often used to describe treatment whereby one group is given more latitude than another. We were fed a proverbial line of BULL! One name is derogatory but the other is not?? You can’t have it both ways. It’s either both names are derogatory or both names are not. So honestly, it’s all about getting Piestewa’s name on the street. From what I have heard in these meetings the consensus is in, and the residents will have no real say in the name. The Native Americans want Piestewa Peak Dr and that’s what you have intended to give them all along. You are even giving them their own separate meeting on August 11th, although the City’s street renaming policy only mentions the need for two meetings for residents. Why the special treatment? Do German Americans get a separate meeting? Do Italian Americans get a separate meeting? Do geologists who are concerned that it is called a “peak” and not a “mountain” get a separate meeting? The Mayor and Council’s intent is pretty clear. The meetings are just smoke and mirrors. You all are just running cover. It’s pretty clear that the decision is a done deal. You say the decision won’t be until September. But all the explanations on how you will assist residents is a dead giveaway as to how this all will go. One Native American man last night thought that the word “squaw” had been taken out of most of the tribal ceremonies. etc. Tribal leaders better start checking their web sites and other written articles online. Because Squaw Dance, Squaw Bread and Squaw Dance music can easily be found on Native American run sites. There are explanations of the ceremonies, articles and Squaw Dance music that can be ordered. One lady read a definition of “squaw” that said it was a derogatory word towards Native American women. I found the Webster Dictionary’s definition to say American Indian woman or wife. So yes, you can find varying opinions and definitions. As one article said, the jury is still out on this issue. What is totally frustrating is the fact that residents have paid a premium for their property to live in the area adjacent to the preserve. And pay taxes to that affect. And put up with the huge volume of traffic on our street, most of which is speeding to and from the park. And we are told that outsiders that do not live or have a financial investment on this street and neighborhood can come in and dictate their wishes on us and we have no say. [Well, you pretend to give us a say, but it appears it will be for nothing.] Honestly, would they like an outsider coming in and doing the same to them on their street and neighborhood? I think not! Is our little street expected to pay the “price” for the early settlers encroaching on Native American’s land? It appears that is the case.

No I would like to know why Phoenix Department of Planning & Development has jumped on the stupid train, there is nothing wrong with the name Squaw Peak Drive, it is not derogatory in any way shape or form. Squaw is the name of a female Indian woman by many tribes, my daughter in-law is 100% Native American and grew up on the Yakima Reservation and is very proud of her heritage and is one of the very few who still speak the native language. People have got to stop being such big babies, and saying everything is offensive to them, learn diversity and stop conforming to others beliefs. It's okay to be different and think different, that's how it's supposed to be. And we are supposed to learn from each other and love each other. It makes no sense to change a street name that is called Squaw Peak Drive because some "one" person might be offended, yet we keep all the rap music on the radio that totally blasts every kind of person out there and has the F word every other word- and that's okay to keep on the radio? Do you see the idiocy in this? And you are playing right into it.


No To: Mayor Gallego and City Council MembersDON’T CONFUSE THE NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY’S CONCERN ABOUT GETTING RID OF THE “DEROGATORY” STREET NAME SQUAW PEAK DRIVE WITH THEIR FERVENT DESIRE AND PUSH TO GOAD YOU INTO GETTING THE STREET RENAMED PIESTEWA PEAK DRIVE. It’s very apparent that is their underlying goal. If the street must be renamed, that is one thing, but it doesn’t need to be Piestewa Peak Drive to solve the problem! A mountain, freeway, and park already have Piestewa’s name. She has been very well honored. Enough is enough!!!

Comments delivered by phone Aug. 11

In favor No I am a member of the Navajo Tribe that has lived in the Vally for over 20 years. Im very in favor of renaming the street. I really think that the “s” word needs to be changed for the sake of our children and generations coming up. This derogatory term is from long ago. For the sake of our Native women, this is a disrespectful name. Let’s change this to honor a fallen American Hero.

Piestewa Peak Drive


In favor No I have lived in Arizona all my life. I love Arizona. I have a great respect for our Native Americans. The word Squaw is a slur, as I'm sure you know. With the renaming of the Peak, we have an opportunity to honor our Native heritage, as well as the first Native American female to fall in service to our country. As I said, I love our state. We can make it even better with changing the street name to fit the mountain name. As Terry Piestewa (Lori's father said, "This is our(community) mountain." Renaming the street would complete a great honor to our Native Americans, our military service and Arizona's heritage. The good far outweighs the bad. Thank you for your consideration--Ray Powell

Piestewa Peak Drive


In favor No Good afternoon,

My name is , President of Lulac Council 1191. I am also Latina and my ancestors are from the Tarahumara Tribe in Chihuahua, Mexico. I am also a Native to Arizona and have lived here all of my life.I am certain that many of you in this council are aware of the historical facts and the dynamics of this state in regards to communities of color and our Indigenous communities. We also know that our veterans sometimes do not have the appropriate resources and the health care they deserve. We can never compensate our veterans enough for being in the front lines so that all of us who are not are peacefully at home. Naming the street "Piestewa Peak Drive" would honor, Lori Piestewa and also all of our veteran and military heroes. This would be an act from The City of Phoenix to express appreciation towards courageous men and women who represent us not only as a state but also as a diverse nation. I have to also say that I find the S name of this street demeaning and offensive to Native American women. I am uncertain as to why there is even a debate happening regarding this word when most of you on this panel are aware of the atrocities committed against our Indigenous brothers and sisters. The name change is important as to also raise awareness that using terms that are offensive to Phoenix residents does not represent the City of Phoenix. On a positive note the name change will help visitors to know where to turn and how to get to Piestewa Peak . With this I thank you in advance for your time and have a wonderful day.

Piestewa Peak Drive


In favor No I'm writing in strong support for renaming both Squaw Peak Drive and Robert E. Lee Street. Native friends have told me for years that the word squaw (it bothers me to even type it), is considered offensive. I was thrilled when Piestewa Peak itself was renamed! I was so proud that our Arizona and Phoenix were acting in good faith for ALL their residents. The access drive to the peak parking lot now needs to be renamed, too. I favor Piestewa Peak (Rd, St, Dr, whatever) for consistency. I was flabbergasted to learn that there's a street in Phoenix named after the top general of the confederacy! Why here? Why would we honor a symbol of white supremacy? It's shameful, and that street should be renamed as well. Thank you for this opportunity to provide input on these issues.

Piestewa Peak Drive



Opposed No I am a senior citizen and grew up in Phoenix. I have lived in the Phoenix valley area since October 1957. I find it very difficult to start changing the names of so many things. I was born in Columbus, Ohio...some people want to rename my birthplace. However, since I do live here in the Phoenix area I want to comment on renaming Squaw Peck Drive. I do come to this section of town often. I wish you would just leave the name alone. However, since Phoenix has decided to change the name, please name it something I can pronounce and spell.

Peak Drive, Mountain Peak Drive, Desert Peak Drive are my suggestions.

Thank you...if you have read my comment

Peak DriveMountain Peak Drive


In favor No First, I will not be able to join the online meeting but, I feel my comment is important and does support the name change of S**** Peak to Piestewa Peak Drive in honor of a fallen female Warrior. In the Navajo culture and tradition babies are given spiritual names in addition to their American name. The traditional name given to the female is "Bah" which is given in great regard that women are Life Givers and protectors of life which is observed with integrity and great respect. She is the female Warrior, the foundation of her clan. With this teaching in mind I submit that this peak is renamed and honored with Piestewa Peak Drive.

Piestewa Peak Drive


N o If you still plan to force changing the name of Squaw Peak Drive, please choose from one of these names:

MOUNTAIN PASS; DESERT SUNSET DR.; DESERT SAGE DR.; SUNSET PLACE;

I’m a long-time resident of Phoenix and do not want anything else named Piestewa!



In favor

No The current name for the street S**** Peak Drive is VERY offensive to Native Americans and would like to see it changed to Piestewa Peak Dr. The street leads to the mountain and so it only makes sense to change it to Piestewa Peak Dr.Please consider and thank you!

Piestewa Peak Drive


In favor No The current name for the street S**** Peak Drive is very belittling to the Native American women and the Mountain has already been changed to Piestewa Peak therefore the street should be change in honor of the mountain and the hero that it is named after who gave her ALL for our freedom. Thank you for considering this.

Piestewa Peak Drive


In favor No I am Dine, an indigenous woman of the Navajo. I fully support the name change of this street. In my family and community the S-word is one of the worst words one can use. It is regarded as worse than four letter words because it is was a term used historically to justify the rape, kidnap, and traumatization of indigenous women and children. It is a dehumanizing term. It is toxic and has no place being used to usher people into a community, especially one that stands adjacent to a landmark named in honor of an indigenous woman warrior. Anytime this term is used it perpetuates terrible acts used against indigenous women and children today – the same indigenous community members who are going missing and found murdered in the thousands every year. Reading this term on a street sign is not passive – it incites recent memories of pain, trauma, and the core of genocide. It glorifies horrendous acts and is not a word I want to see on any sign signifying a community in this valley. This community needs signage that reflects a community of integrity, one that honors the land it stands on – that which was built on the original territory of indigenous tribes, and that tells the world it is taking a stance against usage of terms that harm others. I urge the council to change the name of the street to Piestewa Peak Drive and am relieved to know that the council will take on costs of this renaming process.

Piestewa Peak Drive


TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS:If your goal was to change the street name to remove a name you believe is offensive, you have likely achieved that goal since the mayor and city council have started the renaming process. Once this is done, for most of you and others who OCCASIONALLY drive down this street on the way to the Park, the name issue will be forgotten in a heartbeat, but for residents of this tiny street, we must deal with the name ON A DAILY BASIS FROM NOW ON. ---So now let the residents, who will be dealing with the name every time they must give out their address to someone when placing a mail order, or arranging for in-home service, or paying bills, and a myriad of other things, let them choose a street name that they are comfortable with. ---You’ve made it clear that you want the name to be Piestewa Peak Drive (which may have been your real intention to start with). But Lori has already been honored in at least 3 ways here in Phoenix, once on the Hopi Reservation, and in many other places around the United States. Tagging yet another item with the Piestewa name is not necessary to see that she has been honored and it will only cause confusion, not only because of the Piestewa Freeway that is just blocks away, but also because it is hard to spell and hard to pronounce. Of course, it also DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS listed in the City’s Street Renaming Policy. ---I realize many of you on this call probably live in the metro-Phoenix area, but I’m sure still have ties to your reservation. We don’t tell you what to name your streets or roads on your reservation, so just as we have compassion for your past history (yes, we really do), have a little compassion for us and let us choose any new name. ---TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS:We , the residents, DID NOT name this street. Though there is still reason to question whether the name needs to be changed, please don’t use our little street as the token to pay the “price” for the early settlers encroaching on Native American’s land, or because Native Americans think we were inappropriately defining the word “squaw” to mean something other than what dictionaries ORIGINALLY said was the stated definition of the word, which was not derogatory. LET US CHOOSE THE NEW NAME FOR THE STREET, WHICH NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING OTHER THAN PIESTEWA.



LORI PIESTEWA HAS BEEN HONORED IN MANY WAYS THROUGHOUT ARIZONA AND THE U.S. WE DO NOT NEED TO NAME A STREET AFTER HER…THE CITY OF PHOENIX HAS ALREADY SHOWN RESPECT AND APPRECIATION IN NUMEROUS WAYS FOR HER SACRIFICE. SHE HAS ALREADY BEEN HONORED AS FOLLOWS:XXXX [1] Arizona's state government renamed Squaw Peak in the Phoenix Mountains near Phoenix as Piestewa Peak and this was codified by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names on April 10, 2008;XXXX [2] The freeway that passes near this mountain was also renamed in her honor. XXXX In addition, Senator Tom Daschle honored her, as did Indian Nations across the United States. XXXX Since her death, the Grand Canyon State Games organizers have held an annual Lori Piestewa National Native American Games, which brings participants from across the country. XXXX A plaque bearing her name is also located at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico and Fort Bliss, Texas. XXXX She has also been memorialized with a plaque and ceremony at Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial in La Jolla, California. XXXX On November 10, 2011, American Legion Post No. 80 on the Hopi Reservation was renamed the Lori Piestewa Post # 80. XXXX On November 30, 2011, the Directorate of Training Sustainment headquarters at Fort Benning, Georgia was named Piestewa Hall in her honor.XXXX Her death led to a rare joint prayer gathering between members of the Hopi and Navajo tribes, which have had a centuries-old rivalry. XXXXIn May 2005, Piestewa's parents and children had a brand-new home built by Ty Pennington and his crew on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition accompanied by Jessica Lynch. They also built a new veterans' center on the Navajo reservation. XXXX In 2018, Piestewa became one of the inductees in the first induction ceremony held by the National Native American Hall of Fame.


If your decision is to change the name of Squaw Peak Drive, please consider the following for the name of our street. They do not appear to exist in Phoenix:FOOTHILLS WAY or FOOTHILLS ST. (VERY fitting for the area at the base of the mountains);GATEWAY PASS (the street serves as a gateway to the park and preserve);IRONWOOD PLACE (fits in nicely with the desert area and the nearby Ocotillo Rd.); MOUNTAIN TRAIL or MOUNTAIN TRAIL DR. (descriptive of the short route up to the hiking trails); HILL STREET (we’re at the base of the peak); AMERICAN WAY (needs no explanation);COYOTE CROSSING (we do see them crossing this area).

FOOTHILLS WAY or FOOTHILLS ST. GATEWAY PASSIRONWOOD PLACE MOUNTAIN TRAIL or MOUNTAIN TRAIL DR.


To Mayor and City Council: If you force the name change for Squaw Peak Drive, please choose from one of these names:IRONWOOD PLACE;FOOTHILLS WAY or FOOTHILLS ST.;HILL STREET;GATEWAY PASS;MOUNTAIN TRAIL or MOUNTAIN TRAIL DR.;AMERICAN WAY;COYOTE CROSSING.



Opposed These meetings over the past few weeks are nothing more than optics. THE DECISION HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL!. The statement being said that IF they decide to do the name change it will be made in September is false. There is no IF, they WILL do it. What better optics for an election year. This will be decided before the election. Regardless of your view on whether the name should be changed or not, we have been used as political pawns. Politically it will look great in the news. VOTES! Appease the Native American community so they will vote for you. Too few residents of the street to be concerned about their votes.There are two other streets in the metro area that also have the word “squaw” in them, but are being ignored. One is supposedly a private street in the Biltmore area named Squaw Peak Circle and the other not a private street, Squawbush Dr in the metro area. Mario in last week’s meeting said that the city supposedly has no jurisdiction over the private street to change its name even though the development is within the city and likely receives city services. If you look at the City’s Naming Process document for streets, it states that the City’s Planning and Development Department staff “works with developer to revise names when necessary”. So it appears the city DOES have jurisdiction (and responsibility) to change the name of Squaw Peak Circle if Squaw is derogatory. He also said that because Squawbush Dr was named after a bush it did not fall into the category of being derogatory. Excuse me! Double standard!!! The squaw bush or squaw berry bush. The Native Americans used the squaw berry primarily as a medicine. This is from an article in the American Indian health and diet project. It got its name back in the early 1800s because it was used by Native Americans. I’m not attacking Mario, I am just stating what my understanding is of what he referenced as the city’s excuse for why these streets are not also targeted. In all three city meetings on this issue there were roughly 37 call ins total between all three meetings. I am sure there have been some write in comments also. But in a city with a population of roughly 1.7 million people, that’s a meager consensus of Phoenicians’ opinions on this issue. But then again it was not widely published, probably because of the fire storm that then Governor Janet Napolitano started when she decided she had the power to go against policy and change the name of the peak when she knew she was over stepping her authoritySo other streets with the name “squaw” in it get a pass but our street does not because of the peak. I assume the other streets are not “high profile” enough. No optics! We are being muscled out of the process a second time. What this is all about is making sure the street name is Piestewa.YOU EITHER CHANGE ALL THREE STREET NAMES OR NONE!This is a beautiful area to live in. The residents paid a premium for their property to live in this area and pay taxes to that effect. We also put up with the high volume of cars RACING up the street to get to and from the park and at times the overflow of cars parking on the street from the park with driveways being obstructed and making exiting driveways difficult and hazardous. Some weeks we have multiple days with emergency vehicles (average of 7 Fire Department trucks for each emergency) running up to the park sometimes multiple times a day. So, I feel since it seems this name change will happen, the street’s residents who must deal with the name from now on should have the say as to what the name should be and NOT outsiders who PERIODICALLY visit the park.



Opposed Yes I live on Squaw Peak Dr and my husband and I attended all 3 public meetings. After the 3rd meeting It struck me that there is a planned narrative from all of those that support the name change. Over the 3 meetings all but 3 speakers immediately followed their comment, that they found Squaw offensive, with “and I want the street name Piestewa Drive”. This is NOT an issue of Squaw being offensive, but rather an initiate to get the street name changed to Piestewa (the poor attendance At the 3rd meeting for just the Indian community And the 1,147 business in Arizona with the word Squaw in their name, supports this theory)

I BEG you do not give in to a small minority and change my street name. And I expect you to give deference to those that actually LIVE on the street. Keeping our history intact is important to me.

But if you do, please, PLEASE do not change it to include Piestawa. It’s too long, no one knows how to spell it, And I find it offensive in that it only recognizes one faction of our diverse society. Lori Piestewa has a mountain, a park and a freeway named after her. Let that be enough.

My vote If you do not have enough integrity to keep the name the same - Peak Drive Thank you for your consideration.


Oppposed The original renaming of Squaw Peak was done illegally [ignored federal regulations] by former mayor Janet Napolitano. In 2017, Phoenix City Council went against the area’s residents who followed city policy and obtained more than a 75% majority of homeowners who wished to keep the current street name, so the council changed the policy, eliminating further the rights of the citizens. If street name is to be changed now, area residents should have the right to propose names and select the name to be used for renaming. Choice of names should not be at the whim of the Council.


“Piestewa Peak Drive” does not meet the city’s own criteria in their revised street naming policy which states “names should be short, easy to pronounce, easy to spell” and “be sufficiently distinct from existing street names”. This would put Piestewa Peak Drive just blocks away from the existing Piestewa Freeway. Choose a different name to avoid confusion. Lori Piestewa has already been appropriately honored with the renaming of the mountain, park, and freeway.


I QUESTION THE NEED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF SQUAW PEAK DRIVE SINCE:There is NO CONSENSUS among the Native American community regarding whether or not “squaw” is offensive. For example: •Read the March 2017 ar cle in Indian Country Today tled “Squaw” Offensive or Not – The Jury Is S ll

Out. •The Dine’ (Navajo) s ll perform the Squaw Dance as part of their religious ceremonies •My hairdresser is a Pima Indian – she hikes the Peak – and says use of “squaw” is not a big deal and

thinks all of this is a big waste of time, energy and money.The proposed name of “Piestewa Peak Drive” does not meet street renaming criteria which requires: •“the name cannot be used anywhere else in the Phoenix metropolitan area” and that •“names should be short, easy to pronounce, easy to spell” and •“be sufficiently dis nct from exis ng street names” oPiestewa Peak Drive is not a short name, is confusing for many to pronounce and is definitely not easy

to spell oIt is also not sufficiently dis nct from the exis ng Piestewa Freeway that is only blocks away from the

street to be renamed. oGiven these facts, it should be removed from the choice of names to be considered. oThis should not be harmful since Lori Piestewa has been greatly honored by the renaming of the

mountain that now has her name, the park that has her name, and the freeway that is also named in her honor.IF name change is forced on residents, •Residents should have right to establish choices for street name •Residents should decide final name that they must live with •Some suggested names include: oSunset Place oMountain Pass oDesert Sage Drive oDesert Sunset Drive.

Do outside influences have more rights than the affected residents? It appears so.

I understand why the City of Phoenix wants to rename the street named Squaw Peak Dr. This street was named many years ago before any of the residents owned their property. What I would like the City Council to do is let the property owners, on this short street, have a say in the new name THAT THEY HAVE TO LIVE WITH!I have lived in the Phoenix area for more than 60 years. I attended a Phoenix elementary school, Phoenix high school and Phoenix colleges. I am a Phoenix property owner. I have friends that live on Squaw Peak Drive. It would be such a wonderful gesture to allow the owners on Squaw Peak Drive to rename their street. Have the property owners submit a few names for the city to approve, then have the property owners, that are affected, vote on the final selection.

I personally would just drop the word "Squaw" and rename the street "Peak Drive". Make it simple!

Peak Drive



In favor Please help restore the dignity and pride of the Native-American culture by taking away this despicable title for a holy, sacred site. In times of the Hohokam when 10 villages and hundreds of miles of canals watered this peaceful Eden this mountain was the Sacred Woman's Mountain, a place to climb and give thanks and blessings for our children, daughters, wives, grandmothers. It remains holy today still a place to free your mind of daily emotional tolls we all deal with, a place to contemplate Mother Nature and all her beauty. Take away this racist, disgraceful slur and restore the respect our city deserves, respect for all and dignity for the oldest culture of our beloved nation.Honoring Confederate Generals demeans the lives lost to preserve our nation, the rebels desperately sought to destroy the government of the people by the people to keep their wealth which relied on the slavery and inhumanity of our fellow human beings trapped and lost in this cruel practice. We should honor those who gave their lives to preserve this nation though imperfect and still evolving to a more just society for all. America still represents freedom and justice, our public statues should present and proudly honor these values so dearly paid for by true patriots.

In favor No In today’s climate, everyone is encouraged to speak out and voice their convictions regarding numerous issues. Considering these actions, it is time to stop disrespecting the indigenous people, particularly those in our native state of Arizona. As an original member of the Piestewa Committee, now known as Piestewa Fallen Heroes Memorial Committee, I stand behind the Native American people and all of those in support of the name change from S**** Peak to Piestewa Peak Drive. As a community, we strive to teach our children to respect and honor each other –let us reflect on this and do the right thing, putting any political issues aside. Together, let us honor the ultimate sacrifice made by Lori Piestewa for this great nation.

Piestewa Peak Drive


In favor No I am very happy to hear that these streets will be renamed. Squaw Peak was renamed Piestewa Peak nearly 20 years ago, the street rename is long overdue. We should never have had a street named Robert E Lee and renaming that street is even longer overdue. I am grateful to live in a city that is willing to work for a better future for everyone.

July 30 S**** Peak Drive Community Web Forum Participants with comments(Residents that live or adjacent to street highlighted in yellow)




Opposed Yes Speaker comments: Lived on SP Drive for 51 years. We object to the renaming. Coun. DiCiccio did not contact us on this issue. Voted against us. People already think the name has been changed. I wonder if councilmembers have driven this intersection and what they saw as the street name. We had delivery people struggle to find our street. If our street is renamed, we can say that to respond to racism we renamed a street that is three blocks long.

Opposed Yes Speaker comments: You're the messengers....apologize for the anger your hearing from me tonight. I'm adamantly opposed to this. A number of residents are really irritated. I've confirmed this is response to racial justice demonstrations. I don't see how renaming has anything to do with social justice. Please don't confuse doing something with doing the right thing. City council and city leaders encumbent upon them to identify the causes of racism and address them. That's not an easy problem to solve. Don't take the easy option by renaming street. This process is unfair to residents...the meetings are open to anyone, who can drown out residents. But you have a special meeting for another group. I've researched the history or Lori Piestewa's death. I can't imagine anything more controversial than changing the name to Piestewa.

going to be contentious. I may be in the minority on my street. I love my street and neighbors. The name of the street is cringe worthy. I'm firmly in favor of a change. Change is hard, but so is going the right thing. A change to either Piestewa or Peak Drive is a step in the right direction. I'd be honored to leave on Piestewa Peak Drive.

We had to chase the postman to get our certified letter. 35 year of this area. I'm not in favor of the name change. I have a lot of respect for the Native American community and even they differ on if s**** is offensive. Indian Country Media had a story on that community within Native American community. Dine still have a s**** dance, a relgious ceremony, yet there's a problem with the name of our street. Many other streets are named S**** too, why are they exempt. Dictionary definitions also do not show the word to be derogatory. Piestewa Peak does not meet city renaming criteria. Name can't be used anywhere else...name should be short and distinct. Piestewa peak is not short and confusing to announce and spell and not sufficiently distinct from Piestewa Freeway. That should be removed from choice of alternate names. The mountain has her name. If a name is forced on us, I believe homeowners should have input and be able to have voice in final selection. Fox 10 anchor poll was overwhelmingly against it. I propose Sunset, Ironwood Drive.

In favor No Speaker comments (reiterating written comments submitted separately by e-mail): I want to go on record supporting Piestewa Peak Drive. Explained his family has resided in Phoenix for more than 50 years, the past 20 years in a home near the base of Piestewa Peak Mountain. As one of the original members of the Arizona Piestewa Committee, I herewith join the many others who recommend changing the name of "S**** Peak Drive" to "PIESTEWA PEAK DRIVE", as reflected in the three main reasons documented and submitted to the Phoenix City Council by the "Arizona For Piestewa Committee". Hence, the public street leading to the Piestewa Peak Mountain should be named after the mountain, as it is the only road/street that leads directly to Piestewa Peak Mountain. It's always good to give name to a street that has meaning. So many have died for the freedom we have today. Indian School Road was named that way because it led to the school campus. Camelback is named for the street it leads to. So it's logical to name the street that leads directly to the mountain after the mountain itself. It's always good to give a name that has meaning. So many died for our freedom and this honors that.

I really believed we were the best run city. I've struggled to get people on the phone over the past 3-4 months. I relate that to the fact that the city suffered due to a lack of funding. Police Dept. is underfunded by hundreds of officers. With that underfunding, i look at the costs to change the name off a small street. Why spend the money to do that? Changing our addresses is major, daunting task, especially for those in my age bracked. this is not productive for a city in financial trouble with costs of protests and damage done by them. This is a ridiculous waste of money. You're working for a small minority. Most articles I've seen show "S***" is not derogatory. I do not agree with this change.

After residents contacted the city, we had three days notice of a meeting. City's policy required majority of residents to agree, so they changed the policy to take our rights away. The whole process has been deceitful. I don't understand why it was done this way. The word "s****" is on some Native American documents, if it's truly derogatory, the Native American community should banish it from all mentions. We're being railroaded. The name Piestewa Peak does not mean MAG renaming standards.

My question tonight is when will we see the answers to our questions, where are you as a councilmember, why did you not talk to us as councilmembers on July 1. How do you justify the attack on S**** Peak Drive and not on S**** Peak Circle and S**** Bush Place. City taxes are paid for both of these streets. Have all nine councilmembers driven the intersection. How can you rename the street when the vote must be unanimous. My last comment is about two Native American men who contacted residents two years ago. He walked door to door and pleaded with us not to let the name be changed.

Opposed Yes Comment submitted at registration: I will add to what Rick said. I took 30 seconds to look in the white pages and saw found 1,100 businesses with the name S**** in it. If the word s**** is offensive to everyone, I hardly think these businesses would be in business.I also regularly attend business events at the S**** Peak Hilton and they are overly attended.I think it's ridiculous that the City Council is allowing the tail to wag the dog. This is not a solution. We asked the councilmembers for their comprehensive plan to fight racism and how this fits into it and how this is going to racial inequality and how it will improve our city. They specifically told us "this is the plan." They have no plan...this is it. I don't want to reward the City Council for their inactivity. They're bamboozling citizens into thinking they're doing their job. Since the city changed the policy to keep residents from having the name they want, I knew this day was inevitable. Under no circumstances should the name have anything racially motivated. There are 21 tribes in this state, why they would put Piestewa on it is ridiculous. My vote would be Peak Drive.

Peak Drive

Opposed Yes Speaker comments: I have contacted mayor and all council members and have met with two so far. I conveyed that I think this is a reaction to social justice movements. City employees have convinced themselves that the works S**** is offensive. The idea that the word is offensive to all Native Americans is dubious at best. If S Peak Drive is renamed, do we really think that will end racism? If so, how many streets will need to be renamed? With playing the victim, there is always something else to offend. Let's stop this nonsense now and get to work on identifying the root causes of racism in our community.

to Piestewa Peak Drive. Lori Piestewa, and AZ native, sets the example of serving our great nation with bravery, integrity and spirit. It is a racial remark to say S**** Peak to a great many people, not just a few, so it should be eradicated. The name is offensive to a lot of people. This is not political thing...they have been trying to rename the street for many years now. She is a hero and people that think it's wrong to rename a peak in her honor need to rething their values. As for renaming the businesses, hopefully that is forthcoming. IF they were using a different derogatory work such as the "n" word, I think people would think differently. If someone is offended, we should walk in that person's shoes. Renaming is happening in many places...the NFL. This would be a great honor for Lori and her family.

We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give the street a truly meaningful name that would honor not only Lori Piestewa but honor the sacrifices of all our fallen heros and the sacrifices of all our veterans. The memorial sign at the trail states that by honoring one hero, we are honoring all the miliary heros and raise awareness . This would be a monument to show hikers were to turn to get to Piestewa Peak. My family, which is half Navajo, considers the name to be hurtful and pejorative toward Native Americans. Changing the name would also eliminate an inconsistency in the city's designation of the peak and park.

My boss at Indian Country Today was Tim Gallego, a nephew of Chief Crazy Horse. Some of the words we considered offensive included the word "s***" The S**** Dance and S**** Bread were descriptions while people gave, that is not the Indian name for the ceremony or the bread. We have Native against White in terms of integrity. Our integrity needs to be listened to. We volunteer and serve our country. I've heard people say they lived here for 50 years, our people have lived here for thousands of years and we want to have our own respect. The derogatory names that are part of the colonial dominance to native culture has been part of the problem. We didn't name those, we have our own names for those. It's time for respect. I understand the concerns of the people that live there and the pains to get their addresses changed. Think about the pain we've gone through while we were invaded by the White people. We've made peace with that, we are part of this country and we demand to be part of the respect of the country. Piestewa itself means the puddle left after a rainstorm. Lori comes from a culture of the Hopi, the Dine, not Navajo -- and Spanish. She encompasses a lot of the culture of the Southwest. By honoring Lori, you're honoring much of the culture that has not been respected, and it's about time. The burden has been on the Native nation not on the White nation. Think about the names we have to change because they were part of the invaders to us.

Opposed No Speaker comments: I'm a ten-year resident and I oppose the street renaming. In 2017 a majority of residents could oppose a street name change. Mayor Stanton changed the policy to cut residents out and gave the mayor and council sole authority. It was so important that the issue sat idle for three years. We are expected to change the name of S**** Peak Drive while Native Americans still perform the S**** Dance as part of a religious ceremony and they still make s**** bread. We're all being held hostage by a small very vocal group that don't necessarily speak for the entire First Nation. If they thought it was so demeaning, they would not continue to use the name in their ceremonies or other aspects of their culture especially since many AZ tribes are matriarchal e.g. the Navajo, Hope and Pima. If this issue had merit, Native Americans should first deal with it in their own ceremonies. This just looks like political pandering and appeasement.

I'm a former world champion hoop dancer, a graduate of Stanford University. I do a lot of volunteering in the community and my kids attend school very close to the street we're discussing. I believe it is time to change the street name. It is late, but it is not too late to make things right with the American Indian Community. We are doing no favors to the Native AMerican community by keeping the name as is. Even if there are some not offended by it, there more in the Valley that are offended by it. Changing the name that leads to the mountain is particularly important to my family. I have three young kids that live within a mile of that street and we hike that area. My daughter will someday realize what that name is and means and she'll ask me what that means and what the significance is. I worry that she'll feel shameful what the actual meaning is. It portrays a caricature of a Native American woman in a shameful way and I don't want her to feel that. I feel for the neighbors that have to go through the pain and annoyance of all the paperwork. It is a hassle, but people move all the time. Think about the community you live and how to make it better and healthier and how we can live together in harmony. Want to take pride in my city, member of the Environmental Commission. This is a heavily used area. It should reflect our values as a city. Encourage the residents to think of it from a different point of view.

Opposed No Comment submitted at registration: I question the need to change the name of S**** Peak Drive since there is no consensus in the Native American Community whether s**** is offensive. This was outlined in the March 2017 issues of Indian Country Today titled "S**** Peak. Offensive or Not? The Jury is Still Out." The Dine or Navajo still perform the S**** dance as part of their religious ceremonies. My hairdress is a Pima that hikes the peak and she said the use of s**** is not a big deal and thnks all of this is a big waste of time. The proposed name Piestewa Peak Drive does not meet the city's name standards that requires the name not be used anywhere else and that the name should be short and easy to pronounce and be sufficiently distinct. Piestewa Peak Drive doesn't meet these requirements with Piestewa Freeway being just feet away. This shouldn't be harmful as Lori Piestew has been greatly honored by the naming of the mountain. If the renaming is going to be forced on residents, they should have the right to establish the new name and the name they'll have to live with going forward. Why has the council not be involved in these meetings... not even our councilman. I urge the council to rethink this plan.

We cannot, as non-native people, decide what is offensive. We are moving toward greater compassion, awareness and understanding in this city and state. The name was chosen at a time when people of color were fighting for their rights to show them where their place was. These actions cannot contradict the movement forward.

Please list your renaming idea(s) or any comments Name suggestions

Yes No Speaker comment: You know, for the most part for me, these meeting have been a little bit optics in a way. I feel the decision is already been made, there's no if as to whether the street name is gonna change. It's gonna change in September. It's just a matter of what the name is going to be. I just feel in an election year it's a little but politically motivated. I think if they are going to go thru this process, I think it would have been a little more fair to do it after the first of the year. I just feel it's political and great news worthy stuff for votes. The thing that frsutrates me and we had Mario kind of explained it last week, the analogy of what the City felt about two other street names, so I'm not attacking you Mario,please, but there's two other streets with the name Squaw in it. One is a private street and supposedly the other one is a metro street in a residential area. They both got the word Squaw in them. One is Squaw Bush and we were told that the private street you have no say over it. Squaw Bush, because it's the name of a bush, it kind of wasn't considered derogatory. I just find that ridiculous. It's a double standard. If the word Squaw is truly derogatory, then you should be going after every street in the City that's got that name in there. I mean there's no two ways around it. It just boggles my mind that they're not targeted also. You know, this is a beautiful area to live in. The residents paid a premium to have property in this area and they pay taxes to that affect. We also put up with a high volume of cars racing up down the street to the park at times and also the overflow of cars parking on the street from the park. We get a huge overflow sometimes when there's busy weekends. Driveways can be obstructed making exiting driveways difficult and hazardous. Some weeks we have multiple days with emergency vehicles running up and down the park. So, we kind of feel tha you know as the residents, we should really have the say in what the name will be and not what outsiders who periodically visit the park or drive by think it should be. I don't know, I'm just frustrated. I had big lond thing that would've taken 3 minutes to read and I decided not to go that far. But, seriously, if your gonna go after the word Squaw, go after all of them or don't go after any of them. It's a double standard and not fair. Thank you.

Yes No Speaker comment: Ok, thanks. To the Native Americans on the call, if your goal was to change the street name to remove a name that you believe is offensive, you've likely achieved that goal since the Mayor and City Council have started the renaming process. Once this is done, for most of you and others who occasionally drive down this street on the way to the park, the name issue will be forgotten in a heartbeat, but for residents of this tiny street, we must deal with this name on a daily basis from now on. So now, let the residents who will be dealing with this name everytime they must give out their address to someone when placing a mail order or arranging for in-home service or paying bills and a myriad of other things, let them choose the street name that they are comfortable with. You've made it clear that you want the name to be Piestawa Peak Drive, which may have been your real intent to start with, but Lori has already been honored in at least three ways here in Phoenix. Once on the Hopi Reservation and then many other places around the United States. Tagging yet another item with the Piestawa name is not necessary to see that she has been honored and it will only cause confusion, not only because of the Piestawa Freeway that is just blocks away, but also because it's hard to spell and hard to pronounce. Of course it also does not meet the requirements listed in the City street renaming policy. I realize that many of you on this call probably live in the Metro Phoenix area, but I'm sure you still have ties to your reservation. We don't want tell you to name your streets or roads on your reservation, so just as we have compassion for your past histrory, and yes we really do, have a little compassion for us and let us choose any new name. And, to the Mayor and City Council members, we the residents did not name this street, so there is still reason to question as to whether the name needs to be changed, please don't use our little street as a token to pay the price for the early settlers encroaching on Native American's land or because Native Americans think we were inapproriately defining the word Squaw to mean something other than what dictionaries originally said was the stated definition of the word which was not derrogatory. Let us choose the name for the street which needs to be something other than Piestawa. Thank you.

Yes No Speaker comment: First, I’d like to say to Percy Piestewa, I’d like to say thank you for your sacrifice. I’ve listened to the comments of American Indians at previous meetings and offsite and one thing stands out above all else, you are very proud people and I admire that. I’ve asked myself, why do I oppose doing something for people I admire. The answer is simple, changing a street name doesn’t accomplish anything for the American Indian community. It doesn’t address the history of mistreatment by the U.S. governments. It doesn’t open economic door close to you. It doesn’t do anything to improve the quality of your life. It’s an empty gesture. I want more for you. The other residents of Squaw Peak Drive want more. Let’s put a focus on getting resources to the Indian Health Service, the Phoenix Indian Center and Native Health. Let’s work with the Governor’s office on tribal relations to strengthen education of American Indian students. Your history is passed from generation to generation and I would like you to think about how powerful a story can be that you can tell future generations. Your grandfather, your grandmother, made it possible for you to go to college. Tribal elders improved your access to doctors and health care. Or, would you rather recount the story of how you changed a street name. Thanks David.

I am 14 years old and an honor student at Shadow Mountain High School. My mother is Denai, from Tolani Lake on the Navajo Reservation and my father, a U.S. Army veteran is KISH Grabrieleno Band of Mission Indians. My parents are business owners of Travel Indemnity and active in our Indigenous communities. I am a voice of my generation and a voice for those yet to be born. I am not a resident of your community, but I feel it is imperative that the residents hear the voice of future voters and future leaders. The claim that has been made in prior meeting by someone who opposes the street renaming that there is no Native consensus on the disparaging names we are called such as Squaw and others. Well, I am respectfully disagreeing with you. As a young Indigenous woman, I can say that we are reclaiming our identities that are frequently misrepresented and misappropriated within popular culture. As a non-resident of your community, I cannot demand you to honor a U.S. Patriot warrior woman I admire by changing the street’s name. Although precedence has been set that renaming the street should reflect the name of the peak rather than making a demand, I will share with you this, when I had the honor to run the eagle staff up to the top of Piestewa Peak in the spring of 2019 at the age of 13 during the annual memorial celebration of all fallen warriors, including Lori Piestewa, my thoughts and prayers were for all of us including those of you who reside at the base. The honor songs that call in the Red Tail Hawk that encircles the gathering year after year not only brings blessing to those who gather, but also brings blessings to your community. Our Indigenous history and stories have been swept under the rug and often forgotten in the midst of this great experiment we call the United States. Lori Piestewa is a Hopi warrior woman and patriot and one of our stories and I will pray that you do not sweep her story under the rug.

And, we also take great honors that in the unfortunate situation that Ms. Lori Piestewa was placed in and how this is coming about. We don’t want to forget the sacrifice she made along with many of our Native American veterans and it doesn’t just stand for that, but this is for veterans all across the Nation that made the sacrifices for our freedoms. One thing I do want to note is you know prior to coming back home, I did consider Phoenix as my residence for 20+ years. I went to high school out there and even in those areas with not complete understanding of Native American history and background, you know, the joking does happen when it comes to Squaw. So, I understand the derogatory nature of that particular word and coincidentally, I was in the valley on some separate business over the weekend and happened to drive down in that area and I had to think to myself, we’re in the year 2020 now and we still have issues like this that are out there and that hasn’t quite reached the level of being addressed. So, I do want to thank the honorable City Council members for bringing this to light. It’s that time. There’s a huge movement and a shift in dynamics when it comes to the entire country with equality. And, considering there you have 21 federally recognized tribes in the state of Arizona, first Nations here that inhabited this area from the very beginning should be a reminder to those that our leadership in the City of Phoenix and Arizona as well that we are not going to be invisible anymore and this is one step forward to having some of those changes made on behalf of Native America. And, so it’s just important for me to be a part of this panel and express from my view point that I do support this and I’m thankful that it is getting the attention that’s long overdue and whether you oppose it or not, I do want to thank those that commented, further comments as well, that’s the whole purpose of a public hearing. And, to those that do support it, I’ve heard many of our Native brothers and sisters speak to the fact that and others that support it as well. And, we have to move forward now, we are in year 2020 and have to address some of these issues. You know, Native lives matter and Native America needs to be heard, so I just want to mention that again. Honorable City Council, I appreciate you bringing this to the table and giving us an opportunity to voice our feelings about the name itself and what it represents. So, thank you this evening and I will echo what Ms. Titla said also, we’re hoping to get your support and votes to make this a reality and make the change and let’s get it renamed. Thank you sir.

Unfortunately, I forced to see the S word, a hurtful word, on a street sign on the way there. Today, I’m speaking out because I’m now a grandmother to two beautiful granddaughters who are paying attention. Choice of words are important. The S word makes me cringe. It’s not a word in my vocabulary. I cannot bring myself to say it. It’s highly offensive and is part of a painful past. The S word is a European settler word. It’s not an Indigenous word. Despite what some may say, specifically it might be part of root words coming from the Algonquin language, the word has evolved over time and has been used to disparage Indigenous women. It’s an ugly word. When people say the S word is not offensive, it invalidates the opinions of those who say it is. When someone says the S word is not offensive, they dismiss the feelings of those who say it is. When someone says the S word Is not offensive, they are saying opposing views are insignificant. When someone says the S word Is not offensive, they believe their choice of a word is more important because the dominant society has accepted it as a non-offensive word. It’s time to take down the S word from street signs. The Arizona State Board on Geographic and Historic Names and eventually the U.S. Board on Geographic Names did the right thing when they voted to rename S Peak to Piestewa Peak. I urge the Phoenix City Council to do the right thing. To choose the right words for the street leading up to Piestewa Peak. Please vote in favor of an honorable and meaningful name. Please vote for Piestewa Peak. Thank you.

Piestewa Peak Drive

No Yes Speaker comment: Hi Mario and City staff. Thank you do much for hosting this meeting and providing the opportunity to provide input on this important City process for the proposed renaming of Piestewa Drive. My name is Ginger Sykes Torres, I’m Navajo Dene and a resident of North Central Phoenix. I’m a trustee on the Board of Directors at the Heard Museum and I’m involved in numerous aspects of community service within our City Boards and Commissions. I strongly support the renaming; I think it is the healthy thing for our community to do right now. I love within a mile of the street and my children attend the school that is basically on this street. The time to change the street is late, but it’s an opportunity right now to take a street with a derogatory name and turn it into something that can be a point of pride for our City and our visitors and from anyone that comes from out of town, native or non-native, we can be proud of the new name. And in addition, I think it is important that we change the name for our children who will be here in this valley long after we are all gone. I appreciate the City offering to assist residents with the name change and thank you in advance to all of the City staff that will be standing by to help residents with the street name change and I just wanted to thank you all for my comments and the opportunity to provide comments. That’s all for me.

No NoNo Yes Speaker comments: First off, I’d like to thank all of you for being here as well your time, greatly

appreciated. I’m here to speak out on behalf of my people and voice what is right within our community. I am a 5th generation Arizona native as my family roots date back to prior to 1912. I take great pride in the way my family helped build this state and so I recently utilized “23 & Me” and to my surprise, I’m over 40% Native. And this came as a surprise to me as I embark on this journey to learn about what tribe I have history in, which was news, but only reassures my stance on renaming these streets to respect and honor the lives of the people and Native lands here in Arizona that came before me. The S word needs to be eradicated and removed as this is a slur based on a negative past, it’s derogatory. Like I said, let’s take a look at honoring our people, honoring our state, and real history. I once again want to thank you all for you time, it’s much appreciated. Be blessed. Thank you.


No Yes Speaker comment: My name is Patricia Hibbeler, I am a citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Montana. I am also CEO for the Phoenix Indian Center and a lifetime trustee for the Heard Museum. The S word is offensive and one that make me cry and feel ugly. It is a word that is negative towards us, American Indians. It has been used for several years to dehumanize people and the contemptuous connotation has been extended far beyond the Algonquin Tribes to all American Indian women from Maine to San Francisco. When I moved to Phoenix over 20 years ago, I was shocked that this word still continued to be used within the City and all of the opposition for it to be changed. The S word continues to offend me and other American Indians. A simple courtesy says it’s time to dump this name and place it in the linguistic trash can just as other radical ethnic and gender slanders. Several states have already passed laws to rid all names with the S word such as Minnesota, Montana, Colorado and Maine. Please do not treat us as an invisible population within this urban environment. Please respect our presence and are emotions toward a word that is based on a negative past and continues to be more demeaning to our American Indian women. It’s time for the City of Phoenix to find a name to be proud of for our next generation of young people and demonstrate to them the true appreciation for diversity. Let’s do the right thing. I would also say to the gentleman who spoke earlier in regards to changing names of other streets with the S word, let’s change them all. Words matter. Thanks you.

No Yes Speaker comment: Good evening, my name is Ernest Martinez. My wife, who is Navajo, and family have lived at the base of Piestewa Peak for the past 30 years. We're related to Lori Piestewa and the family. I'm also the coordinator for the annual Piestewa Fallen Heroes Sunrise Memorial, held every year for the past 16 years at Piestewa Peak on the day that Lori died. The Hopi, the Navajo, and representatives from Indigenous populations that formally inhabited our Phoenix area and veterans from throughout Arizona and the public come to the service faithfully every year to honor Lori, all our Native American fallen heroes and our veterans. But, it doesn't stop there. Upon the direction of the Piestewa family, we honor all our fallen heroes from Arizona regardless of race and the services of all our veterans. The former POW's of the Iraq War come every year to help us. The night before the sunrise memorial we have our reception, dinner and candlelight vigil at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral Hall. For the mothers and family members of loved one from throughout Arizona that have died for us in war. They are called Gold Star families and they carry the sacrifice of their loved ones daily in their heart. These sacrificies are what have made our country great and preserved the freedoms that we enjoy today. All the members of the public, of course, are welcome to attend all ceremonies and that is why we would like to see the name of the street leading to the mountain be names Piestewa Peak Drive in honor of Lori, our Native American community, our loved ones throughout the state that died protecting us, are precious Gold Star families and our veterans. One thing we must never forget is freedom is not free. The name of the street could be a daily reminder of the greatest sacrifices made by so many thoughout our history to make and keep this country free. Thank you.

Piestewa Peak Drive

No YesNo Yes Speaker comments: Good evening, “words spoken in his native language that I do not know and unable

to write down”. I just introduced myself in a language that my grandfather in World War II and as Ms. Hibbeler and the rest of the ladies have shared, words matter. Our words help win the war in World War II. And this word of this street is very demeaning. And we have an epidemic, a quiet epidemic that is now, not so quiet. The missing and murder of Indigenous women is an epidemic that has been quietly taking innocent Native American women and girls, boys, transgendered, lgtbq across the United States. And it’s because of words like these socially acceptable words that demean, dehumanize my relatives, my sisters, my mothers, my grandmothers. It’s time that we, together, work on, one step at a time, and this is one step that we can work on together. And, as the caller mentioned, there’s other words and other street names throughout the City that we also need to work on. And, let’s do this together. As first nations of Arizona; first nations of the United States all living in metro Phoenix, let’s make a change together so that we are all welcome in the City of Phoenix. Thank you.

No Yes Speaker comment: My name is Percy Piestewa, I am Lori Piestewa’s mother. I would be very humbled to have the name of this street leading to Piestewa Peak be named Piestewa Peak Drive in honor of Lori. Many of you have members of your family who have served or are presently serving our country. Close your eyes and imagine, one day you get a news flash on t.v. the unit your family member is in has been ambushed. Then, you hear that your family member has been killed. It is very heart wrenching experience for everyone, not just the families, why, because those who have given their lives, have done so for all of us so that we may be able to enjoy the freedoms we so often take for granted. In the mix of the heartbreak and devastation, there is a bright light. The community, the different ethnic people, the world, comes to conclusion to honor someone by renaming a landmark. By doing this, they honor all who have served. It is a truly humbling experience to our families to know that our communities understand and remember the sacrifice our military heroes have made. It is also a great honor to know that Lori and all who have sacrifice will never be forgotten. It will also serve as a reminder that freedom is not free. I would like to read scripture John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Thank you for allowing me to make my comments.

No Yes Piestewa Peak Drive Piestewa Peak DriveNo YesNo Speaker comment: Thank you very much. So, I'm Dede Devine with Native American Connections, a

non-profit that's been providing services to the Native community in the Phoenix area for over 50 years. As the City of Phoenix moves forward as a very inclusive city, this is really a simple decision. The only community that can be, can really determine if this street name is offensive is Indigenous women and we have heard their voice in previous testimony and written comments and I'm sure comments here tonight. I'm asking that you show respect for voices that haven't always been heard or listened to and I'm asking that you change the name and do the right thing. Thank you.

YesNo YesNo YesNo YesNo Yes Speaker comment: I am recovering from a brain aneurysm, so be patient with me. I am pleased to

answer the call to represent our people of this great state. Did you know there are 22 tribes in our state and all of them are federally recognized? My name is Jackson Harris and I am a matrilineal warrior. My mother (do not know spelling of her mom’s name), died of Covid-19. Her little brother, a Vietnam veteran, also passed within the week. Our people have been hit very hard. Our beautiful Native daughter deserves this honor. She gave her life and she didn’t think twice about it. Can you imagine? Please help us begin the healing. 2020 could very well go down in history as a turning point. Be part of the change. I talked with Percy, Lori’s mother, today and mother to mother I feel her pain. I lost my mother to Covid two months ago. This is not a hoax. This is taking our people, but in the same vein, we can heal. We are strong. We come from strong stock. We are the people, the first peoples, So, thank you very much for letting me be a part of this, it’s so important for us. Thank you, have a good night.

Piestewa Peak Drive

YesNo Yes Speaker comment: Hi there, I just have a really quick question and then I'll speak real quick. So, it was

my understanding that the Robert E. Lee was supposed to be renamed as well. Is that a different meeting that is going to be happening? Ok, cool, alright, so, first and foremost I think it goes beyond without saying that, of course, the street should be renamed Piestewa. I definitely drive thru this street almost single day to take a hike up that and seeing that racial slur hanging out there every single day is definitely not something I would expect from a City the size and diverse as Phoenix. Also, I want to say that there is a doctor named Dr. Winston Hackett and I think he would be a perfect person to put on the Robert E. Lee. He was one of the most capable doctors here in Phoenix. As a matter of fact, you could probably put anybody from the Hackett family up there. Dr. Hackett provided medical services not only people of color in the City when it was segregated, he also provided help for those of any race with socially destigmatized ailments. Some who were alienated from medical care from anybody and any place. He built at least 6 colleges to help patients with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and then converted the hospital he built for everyone here in Phoenix to the Winston Inn, which housed and fed hundreds of World War II draftees. And so, I think that's very important. The last thing I wanted to say is I think it's really important that Phoenix is doing things like changing signs and everything like that, but comes across as virtue signalling when here in our City we have one of the most violent Police forces. In November of 2019 they were in the news for stop and frisk packets. This week it was found out that Phoenix police disappropriately used force on people of color. And just recently this week as well, Phoenix police are arresting protestors that are utilizing their first amendment rights and I find it very disconcerning that we spend more money on public relations than we do on rape cases. I do want to just say it needs to not just stop at the signs and make sure that we go after things including our Phoenix police which are causing a lot of violence on our streets. Thank you.

The report will include an estimate of any financial impact to property owners, business owners and residents for required updates to addresses that would result from a street name change. It will also identify potential city funding for Council consideration to cover the costs, with the goal to ensure property owners, business owners and residents would not need to cover any required financial costs. It will list the steps staff will take to assist affected individuals with any additional notifications and processing of address changes, as requested, to reduce inconvenience and time impacts on property owners.

Page 124


Staff also will evaluate potential timing issues that may need to be considered and will make a recommendation for an effective date to minimize any negative impacts.

vii. Within 90 days of the request, an item will be placed on a Council meeting agenda for the City Council to decide on the proposed street name change.

viii. Fourteen days prior to the meeting at which the City Council will vote on the proposed name change, PDD will mail via Certified Mail the second required notice to all affected property owners to inform them of the date, time and location of the Council meeting.

ix. If City Council approves the renaming of a city street, PDD will compile and then share with residents a comprehensive resource list that includes hyperlinks and other contact information to minimize the time and inconvenience of updating addresses on personal accounts.

x. If Council proposes to change the street to an alternate name that had not been reviewed, the alternate name would require additional analysis and up to 60 additional days for technical review.

After City Council Approval of a Name Change

Any City of Phoenix fees related to changing of a street name under the provision approved June 2017 will be waived for affected property owners and/or residents. The City will notify the USPS, which will update their database to ensure that any mail sent to an address with the previous street name will be delivered to the address under the new street name.

PDD also will send to each property owner a notification letter of approval, an Address Change Notification and a copy of the ordinance. These can be presented by the property owner to any private entity that may request official documentation.

Opposed Yes Greetings,I would like to share two points regarding the proposed renaming of streets:1.) Based on discussion with City Council representatives, I have confirmed this is a response to racial justice demonstrations in Phoenix. Changing a street name does nothing to address this problem. I urge you to not confuse doing something for doing the right thing. As leaders of the community it is incumbent upon you to identify causes of racism and address them. This isn't easy an easy problem to solve so don't be enticed to take easy actions.2.) The process for renaming is unfair to the residents. The vote taken at the July 1 City Council meeting was done without reaching out to us residents. The scheduled meetings for public comment are open to

Web comment submitted Aug. 2Opposed Yes I live on Squaw Peak Dr. 2 items:1. I am NOT in support of changing the name. We have asked the City Council directly for their plan to improve racial inequality in our city, and the response was we are renaming a street. They admitted thisis not part of any comprehensive solution. Their time, effort and resources should be spent on solving the real issue. This is a symbolic gesture that solves nothing. I want the City Council to know The City of Phoenix deserves better, and I am holding them accountable for real solutions.

2. Should the renaming move forward, Given these tense times, A generic name that is NOT linked to any ethnicity, Or particular Tribe, would be the prudent choice. Peak Drive, Sunset Drive or Iron Mountain Drive would All preserve at least a shred of our valuable history. Under NO circumstances amI in favor of anything with the name Piestewa in it.

Web and e-mail comment.

Yes If the mayor and city council vote to force the renaming of Squaw Peak Drive, I would propose the following names for the reasons noted below (in addition to the fact they do not appear on the list of current PHOENIX street names found online and are easy to pronounce, write, and spell):

Sunset Place – When heading down the street from the mountain in the evening, there are beautiful views of Arizona sunsets, and many people head up to the mountain to view the gorgeous sunsets. Desert Sage Dr. – The Desert Sage bush is well known in the Valley, especially for its beautiful purple flowers. Desert Sunset Dr. – Another very descriptive name for the beautiful drive down the street being considered for renaming. Mountain Pass – Certainly descriptive of the drive into the park.

Not specified Request for meeting registration details. No comments given

I am not in favor of renaming Squaw Peak Drive. Though I respect the Native American community, even the Native American community is not in agreement regarding whether or not “squaw” is a derogatory term (see 3/23/2017 article in Indian Country Today). The mayor and council are pandering

Opposed Yes

ATTACHMENT B

Page 126



Opposed No Where is the proof that the word “Squaw” was ever a derogatory term until a particular newspaper publisher decided to gain attention/sales and then started a campaign which led to all other team mascots being “derogatory!” I will not buy into erasing my Native American heritage! Before you know it, “Native American, American Indian,” Aqua Caliente, Tucson, Santa Fe,” etc. will be deemed derogatory!!!

As for Robert E. Lee’s name, I refuse to be a part of erasing our history. I refuse the kool-aid!!!


No I don't live on either street names, just a City resident for 48 years. Is this really the best use for City taxes? City budgets are severely strained now, especially with Covid-19. I am sensitive to the names but should this be phased in over time after the virus is controlled? Don't need a return response just you consideration for the City budget.


In favor No (.4 miles away)

As a homeowner near the base of Piestewa Peak for 30 years, a frequent hiker of the mountain, and Coordinator of the annual March 23 Piestewa Fallen Heroes Sunrise Service in the park, I urge City Council to change the name of “Squaw Peak Drive” to “Piestewa Peak Drive.”

The name “Piestewa Peak Drive” would give the street a very meaningful name which would honor Lori Piestewa, the first Native American woman to die for our Country in overseas combat. It would also honor all our military heroes and recognize that this Country and the freedoms we enjoy today are made possible only through their courageous sacrifices. This is the focus of our annual sunrise service at Piestewa Peak. A very important part of Lori’s dedication sign at the summit trailhead states that “By recognizing one hero, we honor all military heroes and raise public awareness that regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, we all come together to defend our homeland.”

This public street has always been named after the mountain as it is the only road that leads directly to Piestewa Peak. It has been directly tied in to the prominence of the mountain and has served as a landmark that helps show visitors where to turn and how to get to Piestewa Peak. Renaming the street “Piestewa Peak Drive” would be the proper thing to do.

The name of the road was not changed when the mountain’s name was changed because there was a different process for renaming streets. As a result, Squaw Peak Drive has continued to carry a name deemed derogatory and offensive towards Native Americans. It is a glaring inconsistency with the city’s proud Point of Pride designation of Piestewa Peak in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve and with the city’s position as a great all-inclusive city.

Supports Piestewa Peak Drive as replacement


In favor No As a member of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) District 1 (Maricopa County, Arizona) I strongly support renaming the Squaw Peak Drive to LORI PIESTEWA DRIVE. AS A SOLDIER AND FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN to die in combat, it is appropriate to name the Drive in her name.

So again rename the drive to LORI PIESTEWA DRIVE.Piestewa Drive

Web comment form In favor No My family has resided in Phoenix for more than 50 years, the past 20 years in a home near the base of Piestewa Peak Mountain.As one of the original members of the Arizona Piestewa Committee, I herewith join the many others who recommend changing the name of "Sqyaw Peak Drive" to "PIESTEWA PEAK DRIVE", as reflected in the three main reasons documented and submitted to the Phoenix City Council by the "Arizona For Piestewa Committee".To be clear, it was not just co-incidental that "INDIAN SCHOOL ROAD" was given its name because it was the only road leading directly to the historic Indian School campus.Likewise, it was not co-incidental that phoenix's "CENTRAL AVENUE" was given its name because it was the only central street which divides the east side of Phoenix from the west side of Phoenix.Hence, the public street leading to the Piestewa Peak Mountain should be named after the mountain, as it is the only road/street that leads directly to Piestewa Peak Mountain.It's always good to give name to a street that has meaning. So many have died for the freedom we have today.Respectfully submitted,Jesse J. Ary; Realtor, HOMESMART, INC.

In favor No As "Old Country Doctor Grandpa" my commendation response to your proposed derogatory Street Name Change near "Piestewa Peak" is as follows: As you plan for the new name for the road leading to the already re-named Piestewa Peak Tourist attraction, replacing the derogatory "Squaw Peak" name, Commendations go to the Piestewa Family, the continuing Piestewa Memorial Committee, the past Legislative action of the Arizona Legislature and the very supportive Governor Janet Napolitano. All are to be highly commended for their past name change role achievements. You, of the Phoenix City Council are also to be highly commended for your current follow-up Leadership, which will hopefully lead to the logically proposed nearby street name revision to become: "Piestewa Peak Drive." This proposed new name makes a very helpful non- derogatory guidance connection linkage name from the Street leading to the Peak for those seeking to reach their Piestewa Peak visitation destination. Why do I feel so strongly as "Old Country Doctor Grandpa" on this name change issue? In all my long Family Physician action life of 62 years working with many Native American Tribal Nations, since 1958, it is very impressive that: I have Never heard a Native American personally refer to another Native American Woman as a "SQUAW." !!!

NoThe most appropriate and logical name for the street is Piestewa Peak Drive.This is the only road leading to Piestewa Peak, and serves as a landmark to show visitors where to turn. Squaw Peak Drive is derogatory and offensive to Native Americans. Please consider the name change.

In favor No I’ve lived in Phoenix since 1974. I’ve hiked Piestewa Peak for years until it got so crowded. The street leading to Peak has reflected the name of the peak. Yet Squaw is not a friendly name to our Native American Indians. I grew up in Oklahoma with 51 American Tribes. We were taught the culture history of the Native American Indians. I feel that when Squaw was changed to honor Lori Piestwesa in 2003/4 the street leading to the peak ought have been changed as well. So for years it’s been a conflict. It’s time to respect our Native American Indian culture and match the the street name with the peak name Piestwesa Peak Dr Piestwesa Dr. And while on the subject Robert E Lee was president of the confederacy and since we are a unified nation. This name needs to change also. Unity Street Unified Street. My Dads family came to US in 1652 in Maryland most fought Missouri both sides I’m sure. The Upchurch came in 1635 to Jamestown then North Carolina I’m sure confederate side but once the Civil war came to an end. Both families have served in military over the years. So what do you name a street with such history of a man. Patriot Street, Drive Lane Place think of the Revolutionary time in our country. Yes many of our leaders had slaves. It’s our history neither right wrong just a strong believe Federal was not good g to rule the states. Decisions kind like today. How about naming the street after Michael Williams killed March 23 2003 Same day as Lori Piestwesa. Or another hero police officer fireman Good Luck it’s time to look at what we name sites streets to reflect respect for all cultures and races.

In favor No Squaw Peak Drive is very derogatory to American Indians. Does no one remember how Squaw Peak Mountain and Squaw Peak freeway had to be renamed because the word Squaw is offensive????


In favor No I think renaming Squaw Peak Rd to Piestewa Peak is in the best interest of our city. It is also a safe and easy way to find Piestewa Peak. I Am proud of our city for recognizing appropriate times to make important changes.

Web comment submitted July 30Opposed No In 2017 when the Mayor and City Council brought up the issue of changing the name of Squaw Peak Dr, the process was that if the majority of the residents opposed the name change it would not be done. Well, to the dismay of the Mayor and City Council that happened. So the process was intentionally changed by the Mayor and city council to side-step the residents and cut them out of the process. I was under the impression, and it seems mistakenly, that government officials serve the people not dictate.

Recently a sign facing the Lincoln Dr traffic was placed close to the intersection of Lincoln Dr and Squaw Peak Dr with info about the name change and dates for this hearing. This was not done in 2017. It seems the Mayor and City Council is doing it’s best to rub the name change process in the faces of the residents in trying to drum up support for their cause.

I have lived on Squaw Peak Dr for 10 years and in that 10 years I have never had anyone complain to me about the name of our street. In instances where I have needed to give my address to someone, why is it that they almost always asked me to spell it? Maybe it’s because it has no significant meaning to them and or they have never even heard the name before. As home owners and tax payers it is quite upsetting that those who have no financial investment in a home or pay taxes to live on our street have more say than this street’s residents do.

Instead of doing something really meaningful that could possibly be life changing and have a permanent impact on a specific community as in this case the Native Americans, what do you do? You changed a street name! Wow! That’s one for the history books! This action really helped a lot of people in need right????

I am sorry but it feels more like pandering to me. Throw them a bone and hope they go away until it’s election time again.

E-mail comments submitted Aug. 1In favor I strongly disapprove of the derogatory name of "squaw". I strongly agree that Phoenix rename the Drive to Piestewa Drive.

E-mail comments submitted Aug. 3In favor I am happy to hear that Phoenix is seriously considering changing the name of this street to match the official name of Piestewa Peak. I am very aware of the controversy involved. I taught at Tuba City high school for over two decades, and am good friends with the Piestewa family; in fact, even had Lori in a class briefly. I was at her memorial service in Tuba City and talked directly with Lori's oldest brother Wayland about the meeting they earlier had that day with the Governor when she announced the planned name change. Of course, it's the Hopi way to be courteous and deferential to any guest (esp. the Az. governor)..Wayland had told me they appreciated the honor to his sister but had also commented that they desired the honor to be for ALL veterans...... Later, he told me that they were upset because so many had politicized the name change, and they just wanted unity. ... This is also the idea behind the yearly honoring they have around March 22 at Piestewa Peak; while it revolves around Lori, they also honor many other veterans at the ceremony. The Piestewa name is much more honorable and deserves to preserve the contributions of Arizona veterans for years to come (Lori was half Hopi and half Mexican). The squaw peak name will always be controversial. Native Americans you conslt will be almost as split on this as "redskins".....but from the white perspective, the word "squaw" itself implies "possession" of a woman. And in at least one of the Iroquois languages it refers to a "vagina." Given today's climate, it makes a great deal of sense to be objective and rename the street Piestewa Peak drive ..... and not dwell on decades old stereotypical slang that disrespects Arizona's indigenous people. I hike Piestewa Peak and area daily--it's not far away and gives me a chance to honor the Piestewa family I would welcome the opportunity to travel up the street with that most honorable name.

I think SRP-MIC & GRIC NEED to be at the center of this renaming of a mountain in THEIR homeland.


Opposed The last time the Mayor and the City Council tried changing the name of Squaw Peak Drive, a local news anchor, John Hook from Channel 10, solicited comments from the public on his Facebook page. He got over 200 responses, and an OVERWHELMING NUMBER DID NOT SUPPORT CHANGING THE NAME OF SQUAW PEAK DRIVE. Only 2 out of more than 200 responses agreed with the name being changed. The general public does not agree with bothering with this name change and thinks the Council’s time and energy should be better spent on more important issues.

Opposed No I am deeply disappointed that we have come to this point in our lives where we must accommodate the few, the loud and the rude because they are offended by a commonly used named throughout history. It wasn’t without controversy that Squaw Peak was renamed to Piestewa Peak in 2003. Fast forward to 2020 and here we are “sanitizing our history to make a group of people feel better”. So, let’s make this change to Squaw Peak Drive a powerful one that honors the life of a native son. Charles H. Keating, IV, the first Navy SEAL from Phoenix and the state, to be killed. Charlie, as he is often referred to, was killed in Iraq on May 3, 2016 serving during Operation Inherent Resolve, at the age of 31. As part of a quick-response force mission to aid American troops under attack, he became the third American service member to die fighting the Islamic State group. Charlie was born and raised in Phoenix, graduated from Arcadia High School and could frequently be found hiking or running the trails of Piestewa Peak. There is so much more to tell, and for that reason, there are several of us that would be happy to make a presentation to the City Council regarding this amazing young man and why it is the right thing to do in naming Squaw Peak Drive in honor of him.For additional information, please see the following: https://c4foundation.org/; https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2016/05/03/navy-seal-killed-by-isis-fire-in-iraq-identified/; https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Charles+Keating+IV+Death+Video&ru=%2fvideos%2fsearch%3fq%3dCharles%2bKeating%2bIV%2bDeath%2bVideo%26FORM%3dVDMHRS&view=detail&mid=6BC44B8106EFCCABEED06BC44B8106EFCCABEED0&rvsmid=66B7D176420D2DFA2B7F66B7D176420D2DFA2B7F&FORM=VDQVAP

No You should also rename Indian School Road. The “Indian schools’” primary purpose was to assimilate native Americans children into white culture, erasing their identities.

E-mail comment submitted Aug. 5 In favor

I am for renaming the Squaw Peak Dr.


So, just to clarify…We are expected to change the name of Squaw Peak Drive while the Native Americans still perform the SQUAW DANCE (their name, not ours) as part of their religious ceremonies and they still make SQUAW BREAD?! What’s wrong with this picture? The Mayor, City Council, and Squaw Peak Drive residents are being held hostage by a small, but vocal group who don’t necessarily speak for the entire First Nation. If the tribes really felt it was so demeaning of their women, they would not continue to use the name in their own ceremonies and other aspects of their culture, especially since many of the tribes in Arizona are matriarchal/matrilineal societies; e.g., Navajo, Hopi, or matrilineal; e.g., Pima. If this issue had any real merit, the Native Americans should first deal with it in their own ceremonies and culture before expecting others to do the same.


In favor No One can be named after the Peak. The other, how about Lincoln Ragsdale - after my old neighbor who was a Tuskegee Airman! Piestewa Peak Drive


Oppposed No To Whom it May Concern:I am not for renaming the streets, parks, or anything else in Phoenix. My belief is that there are more important things to be worried about other than worrying about names of the things in Phoenix. I do not believe that it is offensive and I feel it was offensive to rename Squaw Peak...and to this day we that are natives will always call it Squaw Peak. Here is a link that I found that explains how things got their name and what it means.https://press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/534650.html The world has become offended by almost everything, so why not take time and sit back and let things take it's course. Everyone that I talk to is not offended and think that there's more important issues at hand than renaming things so as not offend.

No To: Mayor Gallego, Councilman Sal DiCiccio, Mario PaniaguaLast night in the August 5th Squaw Peak Drive street renaming meeting, Mario Paniagua responded in reference to a question as to why Squawbush Place was not also targeted for a name change since it has the supposed derogatory name “squaw” in it. We were told that because the name comes from the Squawbush, a shrub plant, the word “squaw” is not considered derogatory. But the word “squaw” in Squaw Peak Dr. is derogatory? How interesting! So, the word “bush” nullifies the derogatory meaning of “squaw” but the word “peak” does not. Do you know how stupid and lame that sounds?? Especially since the Collins Dictionary online indicates that the word’s origin is so called from its use of the plant by Native Americans. If the Native Americans are not interested in the renaming of Squawbush Place also, how is there any validity in their claim in wanting to change the name of Squaw Peak Dr.? Let’s explore the meaning of what a double standard is: Definition - A double standard is the application of different sets of principles for situations that are, in principle, the same. It is often used to describe treatment whereby one group is given more latitude than another. We were fed a proverbial line of BULL! One name is derogatory but the other is not?? You can’t have it both ways. It’s either both names are derogatory or both names are not. So honestly, it’s all about getting Piestewa’s name on the street. From what I have heard in these meetings the consensus is in, and the residents will have no real say in the name. The Native Americans want Piestewa Peak Dr and that’s what you have intended to give them all along. You are even giving them their own separate meeting on August 11th, although the City’s street renaming policy only mentions the need for two meetings for residents. Why the special treatment? Do German Americans get a separate meeting? Do Italian Americans get a separate meeting? Do geologists who are concerned that it is called a “peak” and not a “mountain” get a separate meeting? The Mayor and Council’s intent is pretty clear. The meetings are just smoke and mirrors. You all are just running cover. It’s pretty clear that the decision is a done deal. You say the decision won’t be until September. But all the explanations on how you will assist residents is a dead giveaway as to how this all will go. One Native American man last night thought that the word “squaw” had been taken out of most of the tribal ceremonies. etc. Tribal leaders better start checking their web sites and other written articles online. Because Squaw Dance, Squaw Bread and Squaw Dance music can easily be found on Native American run sites. There are explanations of the ceremonies, articles and Squaw Dance music that can be ordered. One lady read a definition of “squaw” that said it was a derogatory word towards Native American women. I found the Webster Dictionary’s definition to say American Indian woman or wife. So yes, you can find varying opinions and definitions. As one article said, the jury is still out on this issue. What is totally frustrating is the fact that residents have paid a premium for their property to live in the area adjacent to the preserve. And pay taxes to that affect. And put up with the huge volume of traffic on our street, most of which is speeding to and from the park. And we are told that outsiders that do not live or have a financial investment on this street and neighborhood can come in and dictate their wishes on us and we have no say. [Well, you pretend to give us a say, but it appears it will be for nothing.] Honestly, would they like an outsider coming in and doing the same to them on their street and neighborhood? I think not! Is our little street expected to pay the “price” for the early settlers encroaching on Native American’s land? It appears that is the case.

No I would like to know why Phoenix Department of Planning & Development has jumped on the stupid train, there is nothing wrong with the name Squaw Peak Drive, it is not derogatory in any way shape or form. Squaw is the name of a female Indian woman by many tribes, my daughter in-law is 100% Native American and grew up on the Yakima Reservation and is very proud of her heritage and is one of the very few who still speak the native language. People have got to stop being such big babies, and saying everything is offensive to them, learn diversity and stop conforming to others beliefs. It's okay to be different and think different, that's how it's supposed to be. And we are supposed to learn from each other and love each other. It makes no sense to change a street name that is called Squaw Peak Drive because some "one" person might be offended, yet we keep all the rap music on the radio that totally blasts every kind of person out there and has the F word every other word- and that's okay to keep on the radio? Do you see the idiocy in this? And you are playing right into it.


No To: Mayor Gallego and City Council MembersDON’T CONFUSE THE NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY’S CONCERN ABOUT GETTING RID OF THE “DEROGATORY” STREET NAME SQUAW PEAK DRIVE WITH THEIR FERVENT DESIRE AND PUSH TO GOAD YOU INTO GETTING THE STREET RENAMED PIESTEWA PEAK DRIVE. It’s very apparent that is their underlying goal. If the street must be renamed, that is one thing, but it doesn’t need to be Piestewa Peak Drive to solve the problem! A mountain, freeway, and park already have Piestewa’s name. She has been very well honored. Enough is enough!!!

In favor No I am a member of the Navajo Tribe that has lived in the Vally for over 20 years. Im very in favor of renaming the street. I really think that the “s” word needs to be changed for the sake of our children and generations coming up. This derogatory term is from long ago. For the sake of our Native women, this is a disrespectful name. Let’s change this to honor a fallen American Hero. Piestewa Peak Drive


In favor No I have lived in Arizona all my life. I love Arizona. I have a great respect for our Native Americans. The word Squaw is a slur, as I'm sure you know. With the renaming of the Peak, we have an opportunity to honor our Native heritage, as well as the first Native American female to fall in service to our country. As I said, I love our state. We can make it even better with changing the street name to fit the mountain name. As Terry Piestewa (Lori's father said, "This is our(community) mountain." Renaming the street would complete a great honor to our Native Americans, our military service and Arizona's heritage. The good far outweighs the bad. Thank you for your consideration--Ray Powell


In favor No Good afternoon,

My name is , President of Lulac Council 1191. I am also Latina and my ancestors are from the Tarahumara Tribe in Chihuahua, Mexico. I am also a Native to Arizona and have lived here all of my life.I am certain that many of you in this council are aware of the historical facts and the dynamics of this state in regards to communities of color and our Indigenous communities. We also know that our veterans sometimes do not have the appropriate resources and the health care they deserve. We can never compensate our veterans enough for being in the front lines so that all of us who are not are peacefully at home. Naming the street "Piestewa Peak Drive" would honor, Lori Piestewa and also all of our veteran and military heroes. This would be an act from The City of Phoenix to express appreciation towards courageous men and women who represent us not only as a state but also as a diverse nation. I have to also say that I find the S name of this street demeaning and offensive to Native American women. I am uncertain as to why there is even a debate happening regarding this word when most of you on this panel are aware of the atrocities committed against our Indigenous brothers and sisters. The name change is important as to also raise awareness that using terms that are offensive to Phoenix residents does not represent the City of Phoenix. On a positive note the name change will help visitors to know where to turn and how to get to Piestewa Peak . With this I thank you in advance for your time and have a wonderful day.


In favor No I'm writing in strong support for renaming both Squaw Peak Drive and Robert E. Lee Street. Native friends have told me for years that the word squaw (it bothers me to even type it), is considered offensive. I was thrilled when Piestewa Peak itself was renamed! I was so proud that our Arizona and Phoenix were acting in good faith for ALL their residents. The access drive to the peak parking lot now needs to be renamed, too. I favor Piestewa Peak (Rd, St, Dr, whatever) for consistency. I was flabbergasted to learn that there's a street in Phoenix named after the top general of the confederacy! Why here? Why would we honor a symbol of white supremacy? It's shameful, and that street should be renamed as well. Thank you for this opportunity to provide input on these issues.

Opposed No I am a senior citizen and grew up in Phoenix. I have lived in the Phoenix valley area since October 1957. I find it very difficult to start changing the names of so many things. I was born in Columbus, Ohio...some people want to rename my birthplace. However, since I do live here in the Phoenix area I want to comment on renaming Squaw Peck Drive. I do come to this section of town often. I wish you would just leave the name alone. However, since Phoenix has decided to change the name, please name it something I can pronounce and spell.

Peak Drive, Mountain Peak Drive, Desert Peak Drive are my suggestions.

Thank you...if you have read my commentWeb comment submitted Aug. 11

In favor No First, I will not be able to join the online meeting but, I feel my comment is important and does support the name change of S**** Peak to Piestewa Peak Drive in honor of a fallen female Warrior. In the Navajo culture and tradition babies are given spiritual names in addition to their American name. The traditional name given to the female is "Bah" which is given in great regard that women are Life Givers and protectors of life which is observed with integrity and great respect. She is the female Warrior, the foundation of her clan. With this teaching in mind I submit that this peak is renamed and honored with Piestewa Peak Drive.


N o If you still plan to force changing the name of Squaw Peak Drive, please choose from one of these names:

MOUNTAIN PASS; DESERT SUNSET DR.; DESERT SAGE DR.; SUNSET PLACE;

I’m a long-time resident of Phoenix and do not want anything else named Piestewa! Web comment submitted Aug. 11

In favor

No The current name for the street S**** Peak Drive is VERY offensive to Native Americans and would like to see it changed to Piestewa Peak Dr. The street leads to the mountain and so it only makes sense to change it to Piestewa Peak Dr.Please consider and thank you!


In favor No The current name for the street S**** Peak Drive is very belittling to the Native American women and the Mountain has already been changed to Piestewa Peak therefore the street should be change in honor of the mountain and the hero that it is named after who gave her ALL for our freedom. Thank you for considering this.


In favor No I am Dine, an indigenous woman of the Navajo. I fully support the name change of this street. In my family and community the S-word is one of the worst words one can use. It is regarded as worse than four letter words because it is was a term used historically to justify the rape, kidnap, and traumatization of indigenous women and children. It is a dehumanizing term. It is toxic and has no place being used to usher people into a community, especially one that stands adjacent to a landmark named in honor of an indigenous woman warrior. Anytime this term is used it perpetuates terrible acts used against indigenous women and children today – the same indigenous community members who are going missing and found murdered in the thousands every year. Reading this term on a street sign is not passive – it incites recent memories of pain, trauma, and the core of genocide. It glorifies horrendous acts and is not a word I want to see on any sign signifying a community in this valley. This community needs signage that reflects a community of integrity, one that honors the land it stands on – that which was built on the original territory of indigenous tribes, and that tells the world it is taking a stance against usage of terms that harm others. I urge the council to change the name of the street to Piestewa Peak Drive and am relieved to know that the council will take on costs of this renaming process.


TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS:If your goal was to change the street name to remove a name you believe is offensive, you have likely achieved that goal since the mayor and city council have started the renaming process. Once this is done, for most of you and others who OCCASIONALLY drive down this street on the way to the Park, the name issue will be forgotten in a heartbeat, but for residents of this tiny street, we must deal with the name ON A DAILY BASIS FROM NOW ON. ---So now let the residents, who will be dealing with the name every time they must give out their address to someone when placing a mail order, or arranging for in-home service, or paying bills, and a myriad of other things, let them choose a street name that they are comfortable with. ---You’ve made it clear that you want the name to be Piestewa Peak Drive (which may have been your real intention to start with). But Lori has already been honored in at least 3 ways here in Phoenix, once on the Hopi Reservation, and in many other places around the United States. Tagging yet another item with the Piestewa name is not necessary to see that she has been honored and it will only cause confusion, not only because of the Piestewa Freeway that is just blocks away, but also because it is hard to spell and hard to pronounce. Of course, it also DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS listed in the City’s Street Renaming Policy. ---I realize many of you on this call probably live in the metro-Phoenix area, but I’m sure still have ties to your reservation. We don’t tell you what to name your streets or roads on your reservation, so just as we have compassion for your past history (yes, we really do), have a little compassion for us and let us choose any new name. ---TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS:We , the residents, DID NOT name this street. Though there is still reason to question whether the name needs to be changed, please don’t use our little street as the token to pay the “price” for the early settlers encroaching on Native American’s land, or because Native Americans think we were inappropriately defining the word “squaw” to mean something other than what dictionaries ORIGINALLY said was the stated definition of the word, which was not derogatory. LET US CHOOSE THE NEW NAME FOR THE STREET, WHICH NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING OTHER THAN PIESTEWA.

LORI PIESTEWA HAS BEEN HONORED IN MANY WAYS THROUGHOUT ARIZONA AND THE U.S. WE DO NOT NEED TO NAME A STREET AFTER HER…THE CITY OF PHOENIX HAS ALREADY SHOWN RESPECT AND APPRECIATION IN NUMEROUS WAYS FOR HER SACRIFICE. SHE HAS ALREADY BEEN HONORED AS FOLLOWS:XXXX [1] Arizona's state government renamed Squaw Peak in the Phoenix Mountains near Phoenix as Piestewa Peak and this was codified by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names on April 10, 2008;XXXX [2] The freeway that passes near this mountain was also renamed in her honor. XXXX In addition, Senator Tom Daschle honored her, as did Indian Nations across the United States. XXXX Since her death, the Grand Canyon State Games organizers have held an annual Lori Piestewa National Native American Games, which brings participants from across the country. XXXX A plaque bearing her name is also located at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico and Fort Bliss, Texas. XXXX She has also been memorialized with a plaque and ceremony at Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial in La Jolla, California. XXXX On November 10, 2011, American Legion Post No. 80 on the Hopi Reservation was renamed the Lori Piestewa Post # 80. XXXX On November 30, 2011, the Directorate of Training Sustainment headquarters at Fort Benning, Georgia was named Piestewa Hall in her honor.XXXX Her death led to a rare joint prayer gathering between members of the Hopi and Navajo tribes, which have had a centuries-old rivalry. XXXXIn May 2005, Piestewa's parents and children had a brand-new home built by Ty Pennington and his crew on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition accompanied by Jessica Lynch. They also built a new veterans' center on the Navajo reservation. XXXX In 2018, Piestewa became one of the inductees in the first induction ceremony held by the National Native American Hall of Fame.


If your decision is to change the name of Squaw Peak Drive, please consider the following for the name of our street. They do not appear to exist in Phoenix:FOOTHILLS WAY or FOOTHILLS ST. (VERY fitting for the area at the base of the mountains);GATEWAY PASS (the street serves as a gateway to the park and preserve);IRONWOOD PLACE (fits in nicely with the desert area and the nearby Ocotillo Rd.); MOUNTAIN TRAIL or MOUNTAIN TRAIL DR. (descriptive of the short route up to the hiking trails); HILL STREET (we’re at the base of the peak); AMERICAN WAY (needs no explanation);COYOTE CROSSING (we do see them crossing this area).



To Mayor and City Council: If you force the name change for Squaw Peak Drive, please choose from one of these names:IRONWOOD PLACE;FOOTHILLS WAY or FOOTHILLS ST.;HILL STREET;GATEWAY PASS;MOUNTAIN TRAIL or MOUNTAIN TRAIL DR.;AMERICAN WAY;COYOTE CROSSING.



Opposed These meetings over the past few weeks are nothing more than optics. THE DECISION HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL!. The statement being said that IF they decide to do the name change it will be made in September is false. There is no IF, they WILL do it. What better optics for an election year. This will be decided before the election. Regardless of your view on whether the name should be changed or not, we have been used as political pawns. Politically it will look great in the news. VOTES! Appease the Native American community so they will vote for you. Too few residents of the street to be concerned about their votes.There are two other streets in the metro area that also have the word “squaw” in them, but are being ignored. One is supposedly a private street in the Biltmore area named Squaw Peak Circle and the other not a private street, Squawbush Dr in the metro area. Mario in last week’s meeting said that the city supposedly has no jurisdiction over the private street to change its name even though the development is within the city and likely receives city services. If you look at the City’s Naming Process document for streets, it states that the City’s Planning and Development Department staff “works with developer to revise names when necessary”. So it appears the city DOES have jurisdiction (and responsibility) to change the name of Squaw Peak Circle if Squaw is derogatory. He also said that because Squawbush Dr was named after a bush it did not fall into the category of being derogatory. Excuse me! Double standard!!! The squaw bush or squaw berry bush. The Native Americans used the squaw berry primarily as a medicine. This is from an article in the American Indian health and diet project. It got its name back in the early 1800s because it was used by Native Americans. I’m not attacking Mario, I am just stating what my understanding is of what he referenced as the city’s excuse for why these streets are not also targeted. In all three city meetings on this issue there were roughly 37 call ins total between all three meetings. I am sure there have been some write in comments also. But in a city with a population of roughly 1.7 million people, that’s a meager consensus of Phoenicians’ opinions on this issue. But then again it was not widely published, probably because of the fire storm that then Governor Janet Napolitano started when she decided she had the power to go against policy and change the name of the peak when she knew she was over stepping her authoritySo other streets with the name “squaw” in it get a pass but our street does not because of the peak. I assume the other streets are not “high profile” enough. No optics! We are being muscled out of the

Opposed Yes I live on Squaw Peak Dr and my husband and I attended all 3 public meetings. After the 3rd meeting It struck me that there is a planned narrative from all of those that support the name change. Over the 3 meetings all but 3 speakers immediately followed their comment, that they found Squaw offensive, with “and I want the street name Piestewa Drive”. This is NOT an issue of Squaw being offensive, but rather an initiate to get the street name changed to Piestewa (the poor attendance At the 3rd meeting for just the Indian community And the 1,147 business in Arizona with the word Squaw in their name, supports this theory)

I BEG you do not give in to a small minority and change my street name. And I expect you to give deference to those that actually LIVE on the street. Keeping our history intact is important to me.

But if you do, please, PLEASE do not change it to include Piestawa. It’s too long, no one knows how to spell it, And I find it offensive in that it only recognizes one faction of our diverse society. Lori Piestewa has a mountain, a park and a freeway named after her. Let that be enough.

My vote If you do not have enough integrity to keep the name the same - Peak Drive Thank you for your consideration. Amy Klawitter


Oppposed The original renaming of Squaw Peak was done illegally [ignored federal regulations] by former mayor Janet Napolitano. In 2017, Phoenix City Council went against the area’s residents who followed city policy and obtained more than a 75% majority of homeowners who wished to keep the current street name, so the council changed the policy, eliminating further the rights of the citizens. If street name is to be changed now, area residents should have the right to propose names and select the name to be used for renaming. Choice of names should not be at the whim of the Council.


“Piestewa Peak Drive” does not meet the city’s own criteria in their revised street naming policy which states “names should be short, easy to pronounce, easy to spell” and “be sufficiently distinct from existing street names”. This would put Piestewa Peak Drive just blocks away from the existing Piestewa Freeway. Choose a different name to avoid confusion. Lori Piestewa has already been appropriately honored with the renaming of the mountain, park, and freeway.


I QUESTION THE NEED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF SQUAW PEAK DRIVE SINCE:There is NO CONSENSUS among the Native American community regarding whether or not “squaw” is offensive. For example: •Read the March 2017 ar cle in Indian Country Today tled “Squaw” Offensive or Not – The Jury Is S ll

Out. •The Dine’ (Navajo) s ll perform the Squaw Dance as part of their religious ceremonies •My hairdresser is a Pima Indian – she hikes the Peak – and says use of “squaw” is not a big deal and

thinks all of this is a big waste of time, energy and money.The proposed name of “Piestewa Peak Drive” does not meet street renaming criteria which requires: •“the name cannot be used anywhere else in the Phoenix metropolitan area” and that •“names should be short, easy to pronounce, easy to spell” and •“be sufficiently dis nct from exis ng street names” oPiestewa Peak Drive is not a short name, is confusing for many to pronounce and is definitely not easy

to spell oIt is also not sufficiently dis nct from the exis ng Piestewa Freeway that is only blocks away from the

street to be renamed. oGiven these facts, it should be removed from the choice of names to be considered. oThis should not be harmful since Lori Piestewa has been greatly honored by the renaming of the

mountain that now has her name, the park that has her name, and the freeway that is also named in her honor.IF name change is forced on residents, •Residents should have right to establish choices for street name •Residents should decide final name that they must live with •Some suggested names include: oSunset Place oMountain Pass oDesert Sage Drive oDesert Sunset Drive.

Do outside influences have more rights than the affected residents? It appears so.

I understand why the City of Phoenix wants to rename the street named Squaw Peak Dr. This street was named many years ago before any of the residents owned their property. What I would like the City Council to do is let the property owners, on this short street, have a say in the new name THAT THEY HAVE TO LIVE WITH!I have lived in the Phoenix area for more than 60 years. I attended a Phoenix elementary school, Phoenix high school and Phoenix colleges. I am a Phoenix property owner. I have friends that live on Squaw Peak Drive. It would be such a wonderful gesture to allow the owners on Squaw Peak Drive to rename their street. Have the property owners submit a few names for the city to approve, then have the property owners, that are affected, vote on the final selection.

I personally would just drop the word "Squaw" and rename the street "Peak Drive". Make it simple!

In favor Please help restore the dignity and pride of the Native-American culture by taking away this despicable title for a holy, sacred site. In times of the Hohokam when 10 villages and hundreds of miles of canals watered this peaceful Eden this mountain was the Sacred Woman's Mountain, a place to climb and give thanks and blessings for our children, daughters, wives, grandmothers. It remains holy today still a place to free your mind of daily emotional tolls we all deal with, a place to contemplate Mother Nature and all her beauty. Take away this racist, disgraceful slur and restore the respect our city deserves, respect for all and dignity for the oldest culture of our beloved nation.Honoring Confederate Generals demeans the lives lost to preserve our nation, the rebels desperately sought to destroy the government of the people by the people to keep their wealth which relied on the slavery and inhumanity of our fellow human beings trapped and lost in this cruel practice. We should honor those who gave their lives to preserve this nation though imperfect and still evolving to a more just society for all. America still represents freedom and justice, our public statues should present and proudly honor these values so dearly paid for by true patriots.

In favor No In today’s climate, everyone is encouraged to speak out and voice their convictions regarding numerous issues. Considering these actions, it is time to stop disrespecting the indigenous people, particularly those in our native state of Arizona. As an original member of the Piestewa Committee, now known as Piestewa Fallen Heroes Memorial Committee, I stand behind the Native American people and all of those in support of the name change from S**** Peak to Piestewa Peak Drive. As a community, we strive to teach our children to respect and honor each other –let us reflect on this and do the right thing, putting any political issues aside. Together, let us honor the ultimate sacrifice made by Lori Piestewa for this great nation.


In favor No I am very happy to hear that these streets will be renamed. Squaw Peak was renamed Piestewa Peak nearly 20 years ago, the street rename is long overdue. We should never have had a street named Robert E Lee and renaming that street is even longer overdue. I am grateful to live in a city that is willing to work for a better future for everyone.

Opposed Yes Speaker comments: Lived on SP Drive for 51 years. We object to the renaming. Coun. DiCiccio did not contact us on this issue. Voted against us. People already think the name has been changed. I wonder if councilmembers have driven this intersection and what they saw as the street name. We had delivery people struggle to find our street. If our street is renamed, we can say that to respond to racism we renamed a street that is three blocks long.

Opposed Yes Speaker comments: You're the messengers....apologize for the anger your hearing from me tonight. I'm adamantly opposed to this. A number of residents are really irritated. I've confirmed this is response to racial justice demonstrations. I don't see how renaming has anything to do with social justice. Please don't confuse doing something with doing the right thing. City council and city leaders encumbent upon them to identify the causes of racism and address them. That's not an easy problem to solve. Don't take the easy option by renaming street. This process is unfair to residents...the meetings are open to anyone, who can drown out residents. But you have a special meeting for another group. I've researched the history or Lori Piestewa's death. I can't imagine anything more controversial than changing the name to Piestewa.

going to be contentious. I may be in the minority on my street. I love my street and neighbors. The name of the street is cringe worthy. I'm firmly in favor of a change. Change is hard, but so is going the right thing. A change to either Piestewa or Peak Drive is a step in the right direction. I'd be honored to leave on Piestewa Peak Drive.

We had to chase the postman to get our certified letter. 35 year of this area. I'm not in favor of the name change. I have a lot of respect for the Native American community and even they differ on if s**** is offensive. Indian Country Media had a story on that community within Native American community. Dine still have a s**** dance, a relgious ceremony, yet there's a problem with the name of our street. Many other streets are named S**** too, why are they exempt. Dictionary definitions also do not show the word to be derogatory. Piestewa Peak does not meet city renaming criteria. Name can't be used anywhere else...name should be short and distinct. Piestewa peak is not short and confusing to announce and spell and not sufficiently distinct from Piestewa Freeway. That should be removed from choice of alternate names.

Explained his family has resided in Phoenix for more than 50 years, the past 20 years in a home near the base of Piestewa Peak Mountain. As one of the original members of the Arizona Piestewa Committee, I herewith join the many others who recommend changing the name of "S**** Peak Drive" to "PIESTEWA PEAK DRIVE", as reflected in the three main reasons documented and submitted to the Phoenix City Council by the "Arizona For Piestewa Committee". Hence, the public street leading to the Piestewa Peak Mountain should be named after the mountain, as it is the only road/street that leads directly to Piestewa Peak Mountain. It's always good to give name to a street that has meaning. So many have died for the freedom we have today. Indian School Road was named that way because it led to the school campus. Camelback is named for the street it leads to. So it's logical to name the

I really believed we were the best run city. I've struggled to get people on the phone over the past 3-4 months. I relate that to the fact that the city suffered due to a lack of funding. Police Dept. is underfunded by hundreds of officers. With that underfunding, i look at the costs to change the name off a small street. Why spend the money to do that? Changing our addresses is major, daunting task, especially for those in my age bracked. this is not productive for a city in financial trouble with costs of protests and damage done by them. This is a ridiculous waste of money. You're working for a small minority. Most

Opposed Yes Comment submitted at registration: My husband and I have lived on S*** Peak Drive for 51 years and are adamantly opposed to renaming the street. My question tonight is when will we see the answers to our questions, where are you as a councilmember, why did you not talk to us as councilmembers on July 1. How do you justify the attack on S**** Peak Drive and not on S**** Peak Circle and S**** Bush Place. City taxes are paid for both of these streets. Have all nine councilmembers driven the intersection. How can you rename the street when the vote must be unanimous. My last comment is about two Native American men who contacted residents two years ago. He walked door to door and pleaded with us

Yes

Opposed Yes Comment submitted at registration: I will add to what Rick said. I took 30 seconds to look in the white pages and saw found 1,100 businesses with the name S**** in it. If the word s**** is offensive to everyone, I hardly think these businesses would be in business.I also regularly attend business events at the S**** Peak Hilton and they are overly attended.I think it's ridiculous that the City Council is allowing the tail to wag the dog. This is not a solution. We asked the councilmembers for their comprehensive plan to fight racism and how this fits into it and how this is going to racial inequality and how it will improve our city. They specifically told us "this is the plan." They have no plan...this is it. I don't want to reward the City Council for their inactivity. They're bamboozling citizens into thinking they're doing their job. Since the city changed the policy to keep residents from having the name they want, I knew this day was inevitable. Under no circumstances should the name have anything racially motivated. There are 21 tribes in this state, why they would put

Opposed Yes Speaker comments: I have contacted mayor and all council members and have met with two so far. I conveyed that I think this is a reaction to social justice movements. City employees have convinced themselves that the works S**** is offensive. The idea that the word is offensive to all Native Americans is dubious at best. If S Peak Drive is renamed, do we really think that will end racism? If so, how many streets will need to be renamed? With playing the victim, there is always something else to offend. Let's stop this nonsense now and get to work on identifying the root causes of racism in our community.

In favor Yes

In favor NoIn favor No Comment submitted at registration: I'm strongly in support of renamning S**** Peak Drive

to Piestewa Peak Drive. Lori Piestewa, and AZ native, sets the example of serving our great nation with bravery, integrity and spirit. It is a racial remark to say S**** Peak to a great many people, not just a few, so it should be eradicated. The name is offensive to a lot of people. This is not political thing...they have been trying to rename the street for many years now. She is a hero and people that think it's wrong to rename a peak in her honor need to rething their values. As for renaming the businesses, hopefully that is forthcoming. IF they were using a different derogatory work such as the "n" word, I think people would think differently. If someone is offended, we should walk in that person's shoes. Renaming is happening in many places...the NFL. This would be a great honor for Lori and her family.

We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give the street a truly meaningful name that would honor not only Lori Piestewa but honor the sacrifices of all our fallen heros and the sacrifices of all our veterans. The memorial sign at the trail states that by honoring one hero, we are honoring all the miliary heros and raise awareness . This would be a monument to show hikers were to turn to get to Piestewa Peak. My family, which is half Navajo, considers the name to be hurtful and pejorative toward Native Americans. Changing the name would also eliminate an inconsistency in the city's designation of the peak and park.

My boss at Indian Country Today was Tim Gallego, a nephew of Chief Crazy Horse. Some of the words we considered offensive included the word "s***" The S**** Dance and S**** Bread were descriptions while people gave, that is not the Indian name for the ceremony or the bread. We have Native against White in terms of integrity. Our integrity needs to be listened to. We volunteer and serve our country. I've heard people say they lived here for 50 years, our people have lived here for thousands of years and we want to have our own respect. The derogatory names that are part of the colonial dominance to native culture has been part of the problem. We didn't name those, we have our own names for those. It's time for respect. I understand the concerns of the people that live there and the pains to get their addresses changed. Think about the pain we've gone through while we were invaded by the White people. We've made peace with that, we are part of this country and we demand to be part of the respect of the country. Piestewa itself means the puddle left after a rainstorm. Lori comes from a culture of the Hopi, the Dine, not Navajo -- and Spanish. She encompasses a lot of the culture of the Southwest. By honoring Lori, you're honoring much of the culture that has not been respected, and it's about time. The burden has been on the Native nation not on the White nation. Think about the names we have to change because they were part of the invaders to us.

Opposed No Speaker comments: I'm a ten-year resident and I oppose the street renaming. In 2017 a majority of residents could oppose a street name change. Mayor Stanton changed the policy to cut residents out and gave the mayor and council sole authority. It was so important that the issue sat idle for three years. We are expected to change the name of S**** Peak Drive while Native Americans still perform the S**** Dance as part of a religious ceremony and they still make s**** bread. We're all being held hostage by a small very vocal group that don't necessarily speak for the entire First Nation. If they thought it was so demeaning, they would not continue to use the name in their ceremonies or other aspects of their culture especially since many AZ tribes are matriarchal e.g. the Navajo, Hope and Pima. If this issue had merit, Native Americans should first deal with it in their own ceremonies. This just looks like political pandering and appeasement.

I'm a former world champion hoop dancer, a graduate of Stanford University. I do a lot of volunteering in the community and my kids attend school very close to the street we're discussing. I believe it is time to change the street name. It is late, but it is not too late to make things right with the American Indian Community. We are doing no favors to the Native AMerican community by keeping the name as is. Even if there are some not offended by it, there more in the Valley that are offended by it. Changing the name that leads to the mountain is particularly important to my family. I have three young kids that live within a mile of that street and we hike that area. My daughter will someday realize what that name is and means and she'll ask me what that means and what the significance is. I worry that she'll feel shameful what the actual meaning is. It portrays a caricature of a Native American woman in a shameful way and I don't want her to feel that. I feel for the neighbors that have to go through the pain and annoyance of all the paperwork. It is a hassle, but people move all the time. Think about the community you live and how to make it better and healthier and how we can live together in harmony. Want to take pride in my city, member of the Environmental Commission. This is a heavily used area. It should reflect our values as a city. Encourage the residents to think of it from a different point of view.

Opposed No Comment submitted at registration: I question the need to change the name of S**** Peak Drive since there is no consensus in the Native American Community whether s**** is offensive. This was outlined in the March 2017 issues of Indian Country Today titled "S**** Peak. Offensive or Not? The Jury is Still Out." The Dine or Navajo still perform the S**** dance as part of their religious ceremonies. My hairdress is a Pima that hikes the peak and she said the use of s**** is not a big deal and thnks all of this is a big waste of time. The proposed name Piestewa Peak Drive does not meet the city's name standards that requires the name not be used anywhere else and that the name should be short and easy to pronounce and be sufficiently distinct. Piestewa Peak Drive doesn't meet these requirements with Piestewa Freeway being just feet away. This shouldn't be harmful as Lori Piestew has been greatly honored by the naming of the mountain. If the renaming is going to be forced on residents, they should have the right to establish the new name and the name they'll have to live with going forward. Why has the council not be involved in these meetings... not even our councilman. I urge the council to rethink this plan.

The name was chosen at a time when people of color were fighting for their rights to show them where their place was. These actions cannot contradict the movement forward.

Please list your renaming idea(s) or any comments Name suggestions

Yes No Speaker comment: You know, for the most part for me, these meeting have been a little bit optics in a way. I feel the decision is already been made, there's no if as to whether the street name is gonna change. It's gonna change in September. It's just a matter of what the name is going to be. I just feel in an election year it's a little but politically motivated. I think if they are going to go thru this process, I think it would have been a little more fair to do it after the first of the year. I just feel it's political and great news worthy stuff for votes. The thing that frsutrates me and we had Mario kind of explained it last week, the analogy of what the City felt about two other street names, so I'm not attacking you Mario,please, but there's two other streets with the name Squaw in it. One is a private street and supposedly the other one is a metro street in a residential area. They both got the word Squaw in them. One is Squaw Bush and we were told that the private street you have no say over it. Squaw Bush, because it's the name of a bush, it kind of wasn't considered derogatory. I just find that ridiculous. It's a double standard. If the word Squaw is truly derogatory, then you should be going after every street in the City that's got that name in there. I mean there's no two ways around it. It just boggles my mind that they're not targeted also. You know, this is a beautiful area to live in. The residents paid a premium to have property in this area and they pay taxes to that affect. We also put up with a high volume of cars racing up down the street to the park at times and also the overflow of cars parking on the street from the park. We get a huge overflow sometimes when there's busy weekends. Driveways can be obstructed making exiting driveways difficult and hazardous. Some weeks we have multiple days with emergency vehicles running up and down the park. So, we kind of feel tha you know as the residents, we should really have the say in what the name will be and not what outsiders who periodically visit the park or drive by think it should be. I don't know, I'm just frustrated. I had big lond thing that would've taken 3 minutes to read and I decided not to go that far. But, seriously, if your gonna go after the word Squaw, go after all of them or don't go after any of them. It's a double standard and not fair. Thank you.Yes No Speaker comment: Ok, thanks. To the Native Americans on the call, if your goal was to change the street name to remove a name that you believe is offensive, you've likely achieved that goal since the Mayor and City Council have started the renaming process. Once this is done, for most of you and others who occasionally drive down this street on the way to the park, the name issue will be forgotten in a heartbeat, but for residents of this tiny street, we must deal with this name on a daily basis from now on. So now, let the residents who will be dealing with this name everytime they must give out their address to someone when placing a mail order or arranging for in-home service or paying bills and a myriad of other things, let them choose the street name that they are comfortable with. You've made it clear that you want the name to be Piestawa Peak Drive, which may have been your real intent to start with, but Lori has already been honored in at least three ways here in Phoenix. Once on the Hopi Reservation and then many other places around the United States. Tagging yet another item with the Piestawa name is not necessary to see that she has been honored and it will only cause confusion, not only because of the Piestawa Freeway that is just blocks away, but also because it's hard to spell and hard to pronounce. Of course it also does not meet the requirements listed in the City street renaming policy. I realize that many of you on this call probably live in the Metro Phoenix area, but I'm sure you still have ties to your reservation. We don't want tell you to name your streets or roads on your reservation, so just as we have compassion for your past histrory, and yes we really do, have a little compassion for us and let us choose any new name. And, to the Mayor and City Council members, we the residents did not name this street, so there is still reason to question as to whether the name needs to be changed, please don't use our little street as a token to pay the price for the early settlers encroaching on Native American's land or because Native Americans think we were inapproriately defining the word Squaw to mean something other than what dictionaries originally said was the stated definition of the word which was not derrogatory. Let us choose the name for the street which needs to be something other than Piestawa. Thank you.Yes No Speaker comment: First, I’d like to say to Percy Piestewa, I’d like to say thank you for your sacrifice. I’ve listened to the comments of American Indians at previous meetings and offsite and one thing stands out above all else, you are very proud people and I admire that. I’ve asked myself, why do I oppose doing something for people I admire. The answer is simple, changing a street name doesn’t accomplish anything for the American Indian community. It doesn’t address the history of mistreatment by the U.S. governments. It doesn’t open economic door close to you. It doesn’t do anything to improve the quality of your life. It’s an empty gesture. I want more for you. The other residents of Squaw Peak Drive want more. Let’s put a focus on getting resources to the Indian Health Service, the Phoenix Indian Center and Native Health. Let’s work with the Governor’s office on tribal relations to strengthen education of American Indian students. Your history is passed from generation to generation and I would like you to think about how powerful a story can be that you can tell future generations. Your grandfather, your grandmother, made it possible for you to go to college. Tribal elders improved your access to doctors and health care. Or, would you rather recount the story of how you changed a street name. Thanks

No Yes Written comment submitted with registration:I would like the current derogatory street name - which is an insult to women - to be removed, and I prefer that the street be renamed Piestewa Peak Drive, in honor of fallen Native American Army soldier, Lori Piestewa, a member of the Hopi tribe.

No No Speaker comment: My name is Adeezhi Salas, not Squaw Salas. Adeezhi derives from the Navajo meaning younger sister. I am the youngest sister of four. I am 14 years old and an honor student at Shadow Mountain High School. My mother is Denai, from Tolani Lake on the Navajo Reservation and my father, a U.S. Army veteran is KISH Grabrieleno Band of Mission Indians. My parents are business owners of Travel Indemnity and active in our Indigenous communities. I am a voice of my generation and a voice for those yet to be born. I am not a resident of your community, but I feel it is imperative that the residents hear the voice of future voters and future leaders. The claim that has been made in prior meeting by someone who opposes the street renaming that there is no Native consensus on the disparaging names we are called such as Squaw and others. Well, I am respectfully disagreeing with you. As a young Indigenous woman, I can say that we are reclaiming our identities that are frequently misrepresented and misappropriated within popular culture. As a non-resident of your community, I cannot demand you to honor a U.S. Patriot warrior woman I admire by changing the street’s name. Although precedence has been set that renaming the street should reflect the name of the peak rather than making a demand, I will share with you this, when I had the honor to run the eagle staff up to the top of Piestewa Peak in the spring of 2019 at the age of 13 during the annual memorial celebration of all fallen warriors, including Lori Piestewa, my thoughts and prayers were for all of us including those of you who reside at the base. The honor songs that call in the Red Tail Hawk that encircles the gathering year after year not only brings blessing to those who gather, but also brings blessings to your community. Our Indigenous history and stories have been swept under the rug and often forgotten in the midst of this great experiment we call the United States. Lori Piestewa is a Hopi warrior woman and patriot and one of our stories and I will pray that you do not sweep her story under the rug.

No Yes Speaker comments: My name is Tim Nuvangyaoma and I have the honor of serving as the Chairman of the Hopi Tribe. And, we also take great honors that in the unfortunate situation that Ms. Lori Piestewa was placed in and how this is coming about. We don’t want to forget the sacrifice she made along with many of our Native American veterans and it doesn’t just stand for that, but this is for veterans all across the Nation that made the sacrifices for our freedoms. One thing I do want to note is you know prior to coming back home, I did consider Phoenix as my residence for 20+ years. I went to high school out there and even in those areas with not complete understanding of Native American history and background, you know, the joking does happen when it comes to Squaw. So, I understand the derogatory nature of that particular word and coincidentally, I was in the valley on some separate business over the weekend and happened to drive down in that area and I had to think to myself, we’re in the year 2020 now and we still have issues like this that are out there and that hasn’t quite reached the level of being addressed. So, I do want to thank the honorable City Council members for bringing this to light. It’s that time. There’s a huge movement and a shift in dynamics when it comes to the entire country with equality. And, considering there you have 21 federally recognized tribes in the state of Arizona, first Nations here that inhabited this area from the very beginning should be a reminder to those that our leadership in the City of Phoenix and Arizona as well that we are not going to be invisible anymore and this is one step forward to having some of those changes made on behalf of Native America. And, so it’s just important for me to be a part of this panel and express from my view point that I do support this and I’m thankful that it is getting the attention that’s long overdue and whether you oppose it or not, I do want to thank those that commented, further comments as well, that’s the whole purpose of a public hearing. And, to those that do support it, I’ve heard many of our Native brothers and sisters speak to the fact that and others that support it as well. And, we have to move forward now, we are in year 2020 and have to address some of these issues. You know, Native lives matter and Native America needs to be heard, so I just want to mention that again. Honorable City Council, I appreciate you bringing this to the table and giving us an opportunity to voice our feelings about the name itself and what it represents. So, thank you this evening and I will echo what Ms. Titla said also, we’re hoping to get your support and votes to make this a reality and make the change and

but I make my home in the valley. I’ve been here almost 20 years in the Phoenix area. As a lot of relocated Indians are, we have one of the largest populations with Native American Urban Indians in the country, if not, the largest, well no, Manhattan’s higher, but I digress. I am the Director to the Executive Director of the American Indian Policy Institute at Arizona State University. I have a PhD in American Indian Studies and I have been around a number of folks; this is what I do, this is what I do every day. But I can’t speak in the eloquent words that Lori’s mother spoke in that moved me to tears. So, I’m just gonna say this, I support Piestewa Peak Drive as the name because it’s the right thing to do to honor a Native American woman killed in action fighting for this country. Words matter,

No Yes Speaker comment: My name is.. I’m a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe. I am a decedent to three Apache “inaudible”, some who may have inhabited the area surrounding Piestewa Peak. On numerous occasions, I’ve had the honor and pleasure to hike Piestewa Peak, as I live here in the valley. Unfortunately, I forced to see the S word, a hurtful word, on a street sign on the way there. Today, I’m speaking out because I’m now a grandmother to two beautiful granddaughters who are paying attention. Choice of words are important. The S word makes me cringe. It’s not a word in my vocabulary. I cannot bring myself to say it. It’s highly offensive and is part of a painful past. The S word is a European settler word. It’s not an Indigenous word. Despite what some may say, specifically it might be part of root words coming from the Algonquin language, the word has evolved over time and has been used to disparage Indigenous women. It’s an ugly word. When people say the S word is not offensive, it invalidates the opinions of those who say it is. When someone says the S word is not offensive, they dismiss the feelings of those who say it is. When someone says the S word Is not offensive, they are saying opposing views are insignificant. When someone says the S word Is not offensive, they believe their choice of a word is more important because the dominant society has accepted it as a non-offensive word. It’s time to take down the S word from street signs. The Arizona State Board on Geographic and Historic Names and eventually the U.S. Board on Geographic Names did the right thing when they voted to rename S Peak to Piestewa Peak. I urge the Phoenix City Council to do the right thing. To choose the right words for the street leading up to Piestewa Peak. Please vote in favor of an honorable and meaningful name. Please vote for Piestewa Peak. Thank you.

No Yes Speaker comment: Hi Mario and City staff. Thank you do much for hosting this meeting and providing the opportunity to provide input on this important City process for the proposed renaming of Piestewa Drive. My name is Ginger Sykes Torres, I’m Navajo Dene and a resident of North Central Phoenix. I’m a trustee on the Board of Directors at the Heard Museum and I’m involved in numerous aspects of community service within our City Boards and Commissions. I strongly support the renaming; I think it is the healthy thing for our community to do right now. I love within a mile of the street and my children attend the school that is basically on this street. The time to change the street is late, but it’s an opportunity right now to take a street with a derogatory name and turn it into something that can be a point of pride for our City and our visitors and from anyone that comes from out of town, native or non-native, we can be proud of the new name. And in addition, I think it is important that we change the name for our children who will be here in this valley long after we are all gone. I appreciate the City offering to assist residents with the name change and thank you in advance to all of the City staff that will be standing by to help residents with the street name change and I just wanted to thank you all for

No NoNo Yes Speaker comments: First off, I’d like to thank all of you for being here as well your time, greatly

appreciated. I’m here to speak out on behalf of my people and voice what is right within our community. I am a 5th generation Arizona native as my family roots date back to prior to 1912. I take great pride in the way my family helped build this state and so I recently utilized “23 & Me” and to my surprise, I’m over 40% Native. And this came as a surprise to me as I embark on this journey to learn about what tribe I have history in, which was news, but only reassures my stance on renaming these streets to respect and honor the lives of the people and Native lands here in Arizona that came before me. The S word needs to be eradicated and removed as this is a slur based on a negative past, it’s derogatory. Like I said, let’s take a look at honoring our people, honoring our state, and real history. I once again want to thank you all for you time, it’s much appreciated. Be blessed. Thank you.

No Yes Speaker comment: My name is Patricia Hibbeler, I am a citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Montana. I am also CEO for the Phoenix Indian Center and a lifetime trustee for the Heard Museum. The S word is offensive and one that make me cry and feel ugly. It is a word that is negative towards us, American Indians. It has been used for several years to dehumanize people and the contemptuous connotation has been extended far beyond the Algonquin Tribes to all American Indian women from Maine to San Francisco. When I moved to Phoenix over 20 years ago, I was shocked that this word still continued to be used within the City and all of the opposition for it to be changed. The S word continues to offend me and other American Indians. A simple courtesy says it’s time to dump this name and place it in the linguistic trash can just as other radical ethnic and gender slanders. Several states have already passed laws to rid all names with the S word such as Minnesota, Montana, Colorado and Maine. Please do not treat us as an invisible population within this urban environment. Please respect our presence and are emotions toward a word that is based on a negative past and continues to be more demeaning to our American Indian women. It’s time for the City of Phoenix to find a name to be proud of for our next generation of young people and demonstrate to them the true appreciation for diversity. Let’s do the right thing. I would also say to the gentleman who spoke earlier

No Yes Speaker comment: Good evening, my name is Ernest Martinez. My wife, who is Navajo, and family have lived at the base of Piestewa Peak for the past 30 years. We're related to Lori Piestewa and the family. I'm also the coordinator for the annual Piestewa Fallen Heroes Sunrise Memorial, held every year for the past 16 years at Piestewa Peak on the day that Lori died. The Hopi, the Navajo, and representatives from Indigenous populations that formally inhabited our Phoenix area and veterans from throughout Arizona and the public come to the service faithfully every year to honor Lori, all our Native American fallen heroes and our veterans. But, it doesn't stop there. Upon the direction of the Piestewa family, we honor all our fallen heroes from Arizona regardless of race and the services of all our veterans. The former POW's of the Iraq War come every year to help us. The night before the sunrise memorial we have our reception, dinner and candlelight vigil at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral Hall. For the mothers and family members of loved one from throughout Arizona that have died for us in war. They are called Gold Star families and they carry the sacrifice of their loved ones daily in their heart. These sacrificies are what have made our country great and preserved the freedoms that we enjoy today. All the members of the public, of course, are welcome to attend all ceremonies and that is why we would like to see the name of the street leading to the mountain be names Piestewa Peak Drive in honor of Lori, our Native American community, our loved ones throughout the state that died protecting us, are precious Gold Star families and our veterans. One thing we must never forget is freedom is not free. The name of the street could be a daily reminder of the greatest sacrifices made by so many thoughout our history to make and keep this country free. Thank you.

No YesNo Yes Speaker comments: Good evening, “words spoken in his native language that I do not know and unable

to write down”. I just introduced myself in a language that my grandfather in World War II and as Ms. Hibbeler and the rest of the ladies have shared, words matter. Our words help win the war in World War II. And this word of this street is very demeaning. And we have an epidemic, a quiet epidemic that is now, not so quiet. The missing and murder of Indigenous women is an epidemic that has been quietly taking innocent Native American women and girls, boys, transgendered, lgtbq across the United States. And it’s because of words like these socially acceptable words that demean, dehumanize my relatives, my sisters, my mothers, my grandmothers. It’s time that we, together, work on, one step at a time, and this is one step that we can work on together. And, as the caller mentioned, there’s other words and other street names throughout the City that we also need to work on. And, let’s do this together. As first nations of Arizona; first nations of the United States all living in metro Phoenix, let’s make a change together so that we are all welcome in the City of Phoenix. Thank you.

No Yes Speaker comment: My name is Percy Piestewa, I am Lori Piestewa’s mother. I would be very humbled to have the name of this street leading to Piestewa Peak be named Piestewa Peak Drive in honor of Lori. Many of you have members of your family who have served or are presently serving our country. Close your eyes and imagine, one day you get a news flash on t.v. the unit your family member is in has been ambushed. Then, you hear that your family member has been killed. It is very heart wrenching experience for everyone, not just the families, why, because those who have given their lives, have done so for all of us so that we may be able to enjoy the freedoms we so often take for granted. In the mix of the heartbreak and devastation, there is a bright light. The community, the different ethnic people, the world, comes to conclusion to honor someone by renaming a landmark. By doing this, they honor all who have served. It is a truly humbling experience to our families to know that our communities understand and remember the sacrifice our military heroes have made. It is also a great honor to know that Lori and all who have sacrifice will never be forgotten. It will also serve as a reminder that freedom is not free. I would like to read scripture John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man

non-profit that's been providing services to the Native community in the Phoenix area for over 50 years. As the City of Phoenix moves forward as a very inclusive city, this is really a simple decision. The only community that can be, can really determine if this street name is offensive is Indigenous women and we have heard their voice in previous testimony and written comments and I'm sure comments here tonight. I'm asking that you show respect for voices that haven't always been heard or listened to and I'm asking that you change the name and do the right thing. Thank you.

No Yes Speaker comment: I am recovering from a brain aneurysm, so be patient with me. I am pleased to answer the call to represent our people of this great state. Did you know there are 22 tribes in our state and all of them are federally recognized? My name is Jackson Harris and I am a matrilineal warrior. My mother (do not know spelling of her mom’s name), died of Covid-19. Her little brother, a Vietnam veteran, also passed within the week. Our people have been hit very hard. Our beautiful Native daughter deserves this honor. She gave her life and she didn’t think twice about it. Can you imagine? Please help us begin the healing. 2020 could very well go down in history as a turning point. Be part of the change. I talked with Percy, Lori’s mother, today and mother to mother I feel her pain. I lost my mother to Covid two months ago. This is not a hoax. This is taking our people, but in the same vein, we can heal. We are strong. We come from strong stock. We are the people, the first peoples, So, thank you very much for letting me be a part of this, it’s so important for us. Thank you, have a good night.

Piestewa Peak Drive

YesNo Yes Speaker comment: Hi there, I just have a really quick question and then I'll speak real quick. So, it was

my understanding that the Robert E. Lee was supposed to be renamed as well. Is that a different meeting that is going to be happening? Ok, cool, alright, so, first and foremost I think it goes beyond without saying that, of course, the street should be renamed Piestewa. I definitely drive thru this street almost single day to take a hike up that and seeing that racial slur hanging out there every single day is definitely not something I would expect from a City the size and diverse as Phoenix. Also, I want to say that there is a doctor named Dr. Winston Hackett and I think he would be a perfect person to put on the Robert E. Lee. He was one of the most capable doctors here in Phoenix. As a matter of fact, you could probably put anybody from the Hackett family up there. Dr. Hackett provided medical services not only people of color in the City when it was segregated, he also provided help for those of any race with socially destigmatized ailments. Some who were alienated from medical care from anybody and any place. He built at least 6 colleges to help patients with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and then converted the hospital he built for everyone here in Phoenix to the Winston Inn, which housed and fed hundreds of World War II draftees. And so, I think that's very important. The last thing I wanted to say is I think it's really important that Phoenix is doing things like changing signs and everything like that, but comes across as virtue signalling when here in our City we have one of the most violent Police forces. In November of 2019 they were in the news for stop and frisk packets. This week it was found out that Phoenix police disappropriately used force on people of color. And just recently this week as well, Phoenix police are arresting protestors that are utilizing their first amendment rights and I find it very disconcerning that we spend more money on public relations than we do on rape cases. I do want to just say it needs to not just stop at the signs and make sure that we go after things including our Phoenix police which are causing a lot of violence on our streets. Thank you.

Introduction and Background

The Phoenix City Council established the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture Public Art Program in 1986 to help create a more beautiful and vibrant city. The program is funded through an ordinance that allocates one percent of the Phoenix Capital Improvement Program to enhance the design of public buildings, infrastructure and spaces. In the past 34 years, it has created more than 200 major projects and become a national leader in developing unique collaborations with artists and other design professionals to build a better Phoenix. The projects range from new airport facilities, parks, community centers and canal trails, to bridges, streetscapes, overpasses, transit centers, recycling centers, and other key infrastructure.

Phoenix public art has garnered numerous awards for design excellence, including two Design for Transportation Awards from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Endowment for the Arts, numerous Arizona Forward Environmental Excellence Awards, including the 2001 President's Award, and other local and national recognition. The Public Art Program has brought positive national and international media attention to the City of Phoenix through articles in The New York Times, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Art in America, The Atlantic Monthly, and Landscape Architecture, among others.

Each year, the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture works with funding City departments and the Mayor and City Council to develop the annual Public Art Plan that identifies capital improvement projects in all areas of Phoenix that offer the greatest opportunity for artist involvement and public accessibility. The plan is presented to the Mayor and City Council for review and approval. The total budget for each project includes funds to contract for design, fabrication, installation and project administration. Art projects, like other public works, are funded in part through City-issued bonds and other capital improvement funds. The projects are scheduled to be in step with priorities in the City’s CIP program.

Artists are recommended for projects through a competitive procurement process that involves selection panels of arts professionals, staff from the funding City departments and representatives of the community where public art projects will be located. Project architects and City staff may serve as non-voting advisors to the panel. The panels review applications usually submitted in response to a Call to Artists. The selection panels base their recommendations on the quality of the artists’ works, their suitability for the project, and their ability to work well with the community and other design professionals. The panel’s recommendation must be reviewed by the Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission, a volunteer citizen advisory board, and approved by the Mayor and City Council before artists can be contracted to begin work.

The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture has developed the FY 2020-25 Public Art Plan with input and assistance from the Mayor and City Council, City residents, artists, funding City departments, and the Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission.

1. Design Team Projects

Artists on design teams collaborate with architects, landscape architects, engineers and community members to plan major capital construction projects. Design team projects often create significant enhancements for new infrastructure, stand-alone structures fabricated by the artist, or both.

2. Site-Specific Commissions

These projects often respond to the opportunities and history of a community or place. Site-specific commissions may be incorporated into new construction or existing public facilities.

3. Purchase of Existing Artwork

The City maintains an extensive portable works collection of more than 1,000 works of art displayed in more than 20 public buildings and at The Gallery @ City Hall.

4. Temporary Commissions

Temporary commissions include a range of short-term projects that provide professional development for artists and that respond to selected locations or opportunities. Temporary projects may include new media, art installations, sculptures and other changing displays.

5. Artwork Refurbishment

The City must periodically refurbish public art in the City’s collection. Sometimes major modifications or retrofits are needed to accommodate changing site conditions or to renew the appearance of works that have been damaged by the elements. Major modifications funded through the City’s Capital Improvement Program go beyond routine maintenance.

6. Master Planning

The City periodically develops master plans to determine the best opportunities for incorporating art into public projects. Master plans often recommend where specific projects or series of projects should be sited to achieve the greatest public benefit.

The FY 2020-25 Public Art Project Plan includes the following types of public art projects:

Transit Furniture Manufacturing and Installation - Request for Award (OrdinanceS-46933)

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into an agreementwith Talis Construction Corporation to construct and install new bus shelters. Furtherrequest to authorize execution of amendments to the agreement, as necessary withinthe Council-approved expenditure authority provided below, and for the City Controllerto disburse all funds related to this item. The agreement's total cost will not exceed$2,265,612.

SummaryThe design is the result of a collaboration between the Phoenix Public TransitDepartment (PTD) and students from ASU’s Institute for Design and Arts to designnew bus shelters that provide improved shade for bus riders and are, in the long run,estimated to be more cost-effective to manufacture.

Phoenix has 4,050 bus stops, 2,650 of which currently utilize one of four shadestructure designs. The bus shelters currently in use provide maximum shade when thesun is directly overhead. The purpose of the new shade structures is to achieve highershade coverage when the sun is at different angles. The new design can beparticularly effective for bus stops where shelter placement makes it difficult to blockthe sun, such as west-facing stops.

Improving shade for transit riders is a priority identified in the voter-approved PhoenixTransportation 2050 (T2050) plan. The result of the collaboration with ASU helps toachieve this with three new shelter options that offer a more flexible platform to provideshade for riders throughout the City.

The three shelter models which resulted from the collaboration are as follows:· Shelter 1: T2050 shelter - the base, standard shelter.

· Shelter 2: The kit-of-parts shelter and seats - A flexible shelter base that allows staffto install either a scaled-down version in areas with limited right-of-way (ROW), orinstall a series of shelters side-by-side to offer additional shade where allowed bythe available ROW. This shelter has a smaller footprint than the standard T2050shelter.

Page 223


· Shelter 3: The larger version - this shelter utilizes components from the kit-of-partsmodel to form a larger shelter that can be installed in areas that call for a uniqueshelter design or placement.

The Public Transit Department will utilize the following protocol as a basis for theplacement of the new shelter design, recognizing that the current design will alsocontinue in tandem with the new model:· West-facing bus stops (new and existing with high ridership)

· Locations with limited ROW or other structural barriers

· High ridership locations in need of additional shade

· Replacing current bus shelters that can no longer be repaired or have sustaineddamage

Procurement InformationThe City issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB PTD19-010) on Feb. 3, 2020, to award amaximum two-year Transit Furniture Manufacturing and Installation contract. A two-year contract provides staff with a suitable time frame by which the new design can bemanufactured, installed and tested against the use and wear it will experience in thefield.
