Gonzalez said the committee will work closely with the Parks and Recreation Department and hold work sessions where teens can be hands-on in planning. The committee reviewed logo and branding concepts and recommended staff have options prepared for approval at a future meeting.

The committee also discussed rules and policies for the teen room at the new recreation and aquatic center, including cell-phone usage. Gonzalez said the committee reviewed current policies and had an open discussion on how members felt about cell-phone usage; staff will take the committee's input to a graphic designer and to future policy development sessions.

Why it matters: The Mayor's Teen Advisory Committee serves as a youth advisory body that helps shape teen programming and facility rules. The committee's early decisions on branding and on user policies for the teen room could influence programming and day-to-day operations at the new recreation facilities.

Council members praised the inaugural committee's work during the meeting but no formal town policy or ordinance was adopted during the report. The committee's next steps include refining branding options and working with staff on policy recommendations for the teen room.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Queen Creek - Town Council Regular Session (CAPTIONS) - Apr 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Mayor's Teen Advisory Committee reported plans to pursue a drive-in movie event, work with Parks and Recreation on planning sessions, and begin branding and policy discussions for teen spaces; committee vice chair Charlie Gonzalez presented the update.","taxTitle","Queen Creek, Maricopa County, Arizona","taxId",2212,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6598334,"Queen Creek council approves consent agenda; item E pulled and later approved with one abstention",98,3014000,3112000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3038116-ef1c4ec92a7bbc7ba168ec6b16b615c3&start=3014&end=3112","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3038116-ef1c4ec92a7bbc7ba168ec6b16b615c3/thumbnail_3014000.jpg","/articles/6598334/Queen-Creek/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Queen-Creek-council-approves-consent-agenda-item-E-pulled-and-later-approved-with-one-abstention","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6598334-07c2479223bc86d256e2f2766b0d3ecc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445502&Signature=i1eol0tLgWIRbKtSsqkelqgD50ODxVtVvuqXsRAN7pJ0V6dL9XAYebNe51MfgQrIsEUTNnG0fPCOWflzO3iPRAmYTs~b6obQVGaQa0gxdkNsopTSmf6lWmMjKCXpigfWpg0A30IuIxTa0wByeRcq2m9OMiuc2E9Nmx9HHBL-lgF8J5NzxMFO~q1HfJdwgAuvouvzkyDKeYZEro1IFViEwYVeGKG2hDO-tJro3QeNsHoc5Nf4UXkPfXrutNKcxxHm0gmu5OsLPO~H39A4zo4ynYHKQnM2gHIt7uaNrd3wbTvOCb66fEEfzIgq-kPikB~4OgUDXehkajKNidq3FHU64Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Queen Creek Town Council approved the bulk of its consent agenda and later took a separate vote on consent item E after a council member declared a conflict of interest.

Council Member Brown moved to approve the consent agenda as published with the exception of item E; Council Member McClure seconded the motion. The council then voted to approve the remainder of the consent agenda unanimously, recorded in the transcript as 7–0.

Council Member Benney said he needed to pull item E to declare a conflict of interest. Later in the meeting Council Member Brown moved approval of consent item E with a second from Vice Mayor Martineau. The motion passed with six votes in favor and one abstention: Council Member Benney was recorded as abstaining.

Why it matters: Consent agendas bundle routine approvals such as minutes, intergovernmental agreements, procurement awards, and ministerial items. Pulling a single item for separate consideration, and a subsequent abstention, can indicate a personal, financial, or other recusal that prevents a member from voting on that particular item. The transcript does not specify the subject matter of item E nor the nature of the conflict.

Details from the record: The transcript records the two formal actions. The first motion (approve consent agenda except item E) was moved by Council Member Brown and seconded by Council Member McClure; the motion \"does pass unanimously 7–0.\" The second motion (approve consent item E) was moved by Council Member Brown and seconded by Vice Mayor Martineau; the motion \"does pass 6 and council member Benny abstaining.\" The transcript uses the spellings Benney, Benning, and Benny in different places; the council member who announced a conflict and who abstained is here standardized in the article to \"Council Member Benney\" to reflect the initial roll-call spelling used in the transcript.

The transcript does not list the specific contents of the consent items in the portion provided; those item descriptions and supporting staff reports were not specified in the transcript excerpts.","The Town Council approved the consent agenda unanimously except for item E, which was pulled for a conflict of interest and later approved 6–0 with Council Member Benney abstaining.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6598338,"Pinal County attorney addresses victims' rights as Queen Creek council issues proclamation",320,2345000,2665000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3038116-ef1c4ec92a7bbc7ba168ec6b16b615c3&start=2345&end=2665","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3038116-ef1c4ec92a7bbc7ba168ec6b16b615c3/thumbnail_2345000.jpg","/articles/6598338/Queen-Creek/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Pinal-County-attorney-addresses-victims-rights-as-Queen-Creek-council-issues-proclamation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6598338-34b705177bd43ea54a17d009a36b6ed5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445502&Signature=axc1otkc7EBzYpunw4mrX3sERaKGcJUIhlHaQ7i4lGYbp1n2UlSY0~kLvnEQTjlTXatiem4qZQWGIGu~rbSkK4Bdo1a8LbD8QYMH97Ri79xdFuXD-ryR1e5b1tcSq5YkbH74ajfk5fmfTt6~IDTDJC4inSxNMHvUyjUfqVzdiJsxOjiuG7xwGpyu2xJqAcZ-PLQHYNRirW2tZ6oXkRHk77qOfJiNZJDo0i2qE7KSvw~yhcs9E7zVtVYhntZZg5DjDg5eH9R5QJfFFASHH19PQFBtJdgWgHpzT1a~NJWcxz8YUgU9uJoNrDEPO0lYBdzziRzKVysJqnwccx2HCbDTLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pinal County Attorney Brad Miller told the Queen Creek Town Council that his office has created a special victims unit and described recent enforcement actions as the council presented a proclamation recognizing victims' rights.

The council read a proclamation designating the observance the council had placed on the agenda; Vice Mayor Martineau read the text on the council chamber dais. Pinal County Attorney Brad Miller then spoke about his office's priorities and the history of crime victims' rights in the United States.

Why it matters: Miller said victims' rights remain central to how his office approaches prosecutions and victim services. He told the council that the Pinal County Attorney's Office has recently launched a special victims unit and conducted several stings targeting child sex trafficking.

Miller said, “In the first three months of my office, I have created a special victims unit dedicated to that very purpose. In those three months, we have run three trafficking stings.” He added that prosecutions can involve people from many walks of life and stressed the office's focus on dignity for victims, invoking the state-level protections he said are guaranteed by Arizona law.

Miller referenced the Crime Victims' Bill of Rights and the statute's origin in the early 1980s, noting its role in shaping how prosecutors and courts treat victims. “We are very fortunate in Arizona that we have a crime victim's bill of rights,” he said. He described his office's work as seeking to uphold those rights and to provide victims with “dignity and respect.”

Council members and the mayor did not take a formal roll-call vote on the proclamation in the portion of the transcript provided; the event was presented as a ceremonial proclamation rather than a policy vote. The remarks that followed the proclamation focused on enforcement priorities, victim services, and outreach, rather than any Town ordinance or local policy change.

The council's agenda included several other ceremonial proclamations and recognitions that evening; the victims' rights proclamation was placed among those ceremonial items and followed by a photo presentation with staff and visiting officials.","Pinal County Attorney Brad Miller spoke to the Queen Creek Town Council about victims' rights and his office's new special victims unit; the council presented a proclamation recognizing Crime Victims' Rights Week.","actionData","errors"]
