DISCUSSION: The Arizona and Nevada Departments of Transportation worked together in 2012 through 2014 to complete the I-11 Intermountain West Corridor Study. The study examined the planning of a possible Interstate link between Phoenix and Las Vegas, as well as high-level visioning for future extension of the corridor south to Mexico and potentially north to Canada that originated from the CANAMEX corridor discussions in the early 1990s. In March of 2016, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and ADOT initiated the environmental review process for a portion of I-11. Throughout the process, the Pinal County I-11 Coalition has met several times over the last 4-5 years, and continues to do so, to discuss pivotal elements and details of the results of the study in order to better position Pinal County as an economic development beneficiary of such a corridor throughout the County. During the last meeting held in December 2017, a consensus was driven for all involved within the Coalition to provide a letter of support regarding the I-11 Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement Alternatives Selection Report that was recently released. MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Mr. Steve Sanders, Gila County, made a motion to approve and pass to Regional Council the approval of CAG Staff sending a support letter regarding the Interstate 11 Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement Alternatives Selection Report. Mr. Bryant Powell, City of Apache Junction, seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

32 AGENDA ITEM VII-G CONSENT AGENDA ITEM: YES NO X CENTRAL ARIZONA GOVERNMENTS Request for Regional Council Action Date Submitted: January 2, 2018 Date Action Requested: January 31, 2018 Type of Action(s) Requested: X Formal Action/Motion Information Only Resolution Other Subject: Support Letter regarding the ASARCO Land Exchange TO: CHAIRMAN AND REGIONAL COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: Andrea Robles, ASARCO Land Exchange STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve CAG Staff to send a support letter, on behalf of the Regional Council, regarding the ASARCO Land Exchange. DISCUSSION: The proposed land exchange will benefit Pinal and Gila counties by reducing BLM checkerboard holdings, increasing local tax revenues and creating new jobs for the region. CAG s mission is to provide effective regional planning services for Gila and Pinal counties and to promote a community of interest. CAG s membership includes 17 incorporated communities, including Kearny, Hayden and Winkelman, which are the communities most impacted by this exchange. The land exchange has strong support in these communities and each town council has issued an individual letter of support for this project. The proposed exchange will benefit our local communities by allowing the BLM to reduce land holdings inside the existing Asarco Ray Mine, lands that are not publically accessible and have diminished public value. The exchange also includes BLM land that has existing Asarco mining claims and has little development opportunities outside of mining. It is beneficial to dispose of this land in exchange for new land that has high public recreation value and is suitable for future conservation efforts. The Ray Land Exchange is also beneficial from an economic standpoint. This exchange will create 200 new jobs, 500 indirect jobs and 150 temporary construction jobs for a region that is heavily dependent on natural resource operations. The exchange is also estimated to increase various local tax revenues by $1.5 million, which will provide resources for our local communities for years to come. The Asarco Ray Land exchange is a net-positive proposal for central Arizona that will benefit our local communities by exchanging limited use land for high value land, creating new jobs and increase local revenues.
