MCCULLOCH BOULEVARD/LEWKOWITZ
Councilmember Alger recused herself from participating and voting on this item.
Ms. Williams stated that Andrea Dahlman Lewkowitz has applied for a Series #06 Bar License
for BJ’s Tavern located at 2122 McCulloch Boulevard. She said all posting requirements have
been met, all fees have been paid, and no objections were received. Ms. Williams added that a
liquor license was previously held at this location.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Barlow asked if there was a way the Council could put conditions on the
motion, to which City Attorney Kelly Gary replied no. She explained that this is just a
recommendation to the State and does not have anything to do with any kind of conditions that
the City would normally provide for through something like a conditional use permit or some
sort of zoning process.
Councilmember Callahan asked if this license was coming from another establishment. Mayor
Nexsen asked if the applicant could address a few questions from the Council. Mayor Nexsen
said this license does not appear to be a renewal of their existing license, but rather a new
license with a new LLC.
Mr. Artie Collins, representative for BJ’s Tavern, addressed the Council and advised that he
was unable to answer the Council’s questions because the license is being handled by a law
firm and he is not pertinent to that information.
Councilmember Callahan expressed concern that the Council did not have enough information
regarding this request.
Mayor Nexsen agreed and said he did not understand what exactly is happening with the
license, as it appears they are buying a license from someone else and the license they currently
have is not currently being renewed. He said he did not know whether or not it should matter
based on the Council’s approval, he just did not understand how the transactions work.
Ms. Garry advised that she could not explain to the Council what the methodology or thinking
Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 1/30/2014
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - December 10, 2013
Final
is behind the application other than they are requesting a recommendation. Ms. Garry added
that she would have no reason to recommend denial.
Councilmember Callahan asked if the existing license was expiring, to which Ms. Garry replied
that she would not be able to answer that because she does not know if this is for two different
establishments or buildings, or a license from an establishment that went out of business and
now they are renewing that license or the license that is currently being held by one LLC. She
said that she did not want to speculate as to exactly what the plan is.
Councilmember Barlow stated he has a problem voting one way or another on this request as
there was not enough information on this or a representative in attendance to answer their
questions.
A motion was made by Councilmember Callahan, and seconded by Vice Mayor Barlow,
that this Action Item be tabled until the Council is able to gather further information. The
motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6 - Mayor Nexsen, Vice Mayor Barlow, Council Member Brister, Council
Member Callahan, Council Member Coke and Council Member
McAtlin
Recused: 1 - Council Member Alger
9.4 ID 13-0001 INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 14-1105 AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 8
OF THE LAKE HAVASU CITY CODE TO ADD CHAPTER 8.28
STORMWATER DATED DECEMBER 10, 2013
Community Services Director Greg Froslie advised that this item is to introduce an ordinance
amending Title 8 of the Lake Havasu City Code to add a brand new chapter related to
stormwater run-off, elicit discharge, and the Stormwater Management Plan. He added that the
ordinance would provide guidance to the development community relating to what the City will
require during construction projects to reduce or eliminate stormwater run-off and also provide
technical guidance for any onsite stormwater amenities such as onsite retention and culverts. He
said most importantly the ordinance will bring the City into compliance with the Arizona
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) Permit that the State issued to the City
several years ago.
Mr. Froslie added that the ordinance does list some prohibited discharges. He said there have
been a few concerns with the pool maintenance community, and added that discharging to the
street is the least approved by the City and did not know what level of impact it would have on
those that maintain pools. He added that the City would have the ability to work on the
additional language if needed; however he did not know what the State would accept.
Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 1/30/2014
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - December 10, 2013
Final
Mayor Nexsen said, for clarification purposes, he thought the prohibition was the discharge of
“chlorinated water” from pools or spas but that discharges of de-chlorinated water was
acceptable. Mr. Froslie said the current ordinance is silent on the chlorination level; however,
the proposed ordinance is specifically to contain stormwater run-off. Mr. Froslie added that
there may be a way to re-write the section to allow a certain amount of discharge if we were to
contain the sediment discharge.
Mr. Cassens stated that the proposed ordinance does prohibit the discharge of chlorinated pool
water but de-chlorinated water can be discharged. There was further discussion regarding pool
water run-off and chlorination levels.
Mr. Froslie further advised that this is the same code used throughout Arizona.
Councilmember Callahan asked if the proposed ordinance addresses run-off into washes, to
which Mr. Froslie replied yes. He added that it requires the City to put certain measures in place
to control stormwater run-off from construction sites.
Mr. Cassens added that there was some speculation that the proposed ordinance was going to
result in a new administrative process and require additional permits. He wanted to clarify and
assure the public that this is not the case. Mr. Cassens said staff is not implementing any new
processes or programs that would cause people to have to buy new permits.
Mr. Froslie added that the procedures and policies included in the proposed ordinance have
been in place for a little over a year now and staff has been asking for voluntary compliance
until now.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by Vice Mayor Barlow, that
this Ordinance be introduced. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Nexsen, Vice Mayor Barlow, Council Member Alger, Council
Member Brister, Council Member Callahan, Council Member Coke
and Council Member McAtlin
9.3 ID 13-0025 ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 13-2786 DECLARING AS A PUBLIC

Mr. Froslie advised that by adopting this resolution the Council declares Ordinance No.

MCCULLOCH BOULEVARD/LEWKOWITZ
Mayor Nexsen noted the applicant for BJ’s Tavern was present and requested the item be
opened for further discussion.
Councilmember Callahan said from what he understands there is a new license being put in
place for BJ’s Tavern that is coming from another location.
Mr. John Marconi, applicant for BJ’s Tavern, addressed the Council and said to answer some of
the Council’s concerns and questions he owns two liquor licenses. He added that there is a
possible litigation with the current liquor license which is currently on hold.
Mayor Nexsen asked Mr. Marconi if that is why a Limited Liability Company (LLC) was
created, to which Mr. Marconi replied yes. Mr. Marconi added that there is an agreement that
has been settled, but this license is to ensure that business of the bar is not interrupted.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing.
Mr. Collins said the establishment has learned a lot and made a lot of changes.
There being no further comments, Mayor Nexsen closed the public hearing

9.7 ID 13-0027 Sara Park Pipeline Improvements Project (WT-7380)-Water System
Improvements Design Services Agreement Amendment No. 5 with
Atkins North America.
FUNDING SOURCE
CIP-Irrigation and Drainage District Fund
PURPOSE
Council approval will authorize the City Manager to execute the Sara
Park Pipeline Improvements Design Agreement Amendment No. 5, with
Atkins North America.
BACKGROUND
On December 8, 2009, City Council approved the Design Sevices
Agreement for Water System Improvements with Atkins North America
(formerly PBS&J).
Agreement Amendment No. 5 contains engineering consulting services
for the design and bid phase for Sara Park water system pipeline
improvements totaling $84,455 or approx 10.8% of the cost of the
estimated improvement project.
Water improvements for Sara Park have been identified as a much
needed improvement from the 2007 Water Master Plan Update. The
existing Sara Park water service is undersized, resulting in minimal
water volume and virtually no fire protection. The existing water service
is a single, 6-inch water main that is aging and experiencing frequent
failures.
The Water Division requested Atkins North America review the existing
and future water needs of Sara Park and on October 31, 2013, received
the Sara Park Waterline Analysis technical memorandum. The
document presented five options to provide water service to the area .
On November 4, 2013, staff met to determine which of the five options
would be picked to best serve the park and city needs.
Option No. 3 was selected to serve Sara Park, and the improvements
will provide 14,200 LF of new watermain, three connections to existing
watermains at Sweetwater, Silver Clipper, and the parks existing water
feed. Other Items within the improvements and Atkins Scope for Design
Services include, replacement of a small section of existing watermain
under Highway 95 at the park's main entrance, a pressure reducing
valve to connect the existing watermain to the new watermain, a
separate watermain alignment and boring under highway 95 from the
watermain at Silver Clipper to approx the middle section of the park .
Estimated cost of the future construction project is $784,000.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
The Sara Park water line improvements will significantly strengthen the
Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 12/10/2013

existing water service to the park while providing additional capacity and
adequate fire protection for future park development.
FISCAL IMPACT
Appropriation is available in the Sara Park Waterline Improvements
Project WT7380 utilizing Irrigation and Drainage District funding.

9.8 ID 13-0018 Drainage System Improvements - Consultant Selection
Project No. ST3110
Dibble Engineering
Consultant Service Agreement
FUNDING SOURCE
CIP-Flood Control
PURPOSE
The approval of this consultant agreement will provide engineering
services to implement major and medium drainage system
improvements in the community. It would also provide engineering
technical assistance with permitting and development of a
comprehensive wash and drainage improvement program as identified
in the draft scope of services attached. The consultant would provide
specific project and on-call services for a one year period, renewable
annually, up to three years.
BACKGROUND
The stormwater drainage system in Lake Havasu City consists of the
roadway network and approximately 71 miles of washes that traverse
through the city. Many of our roadways collect stormwater runoff and
discharge to a local wash which conveys the runoff to Lake Havasu .
The existing drainage features in this system consist of wash, numerous
at-grade roadway crossings, and culverted roadway crossings including
corrugated metal pipe (CMP) and box culverts. To facilitate this program
the City contracted with Kimley-Horn and Associates to develop a
comprehensive Drainage Master Plan (DMP), completed in 2009. The
Master Plan identified several deficiencies with existing structures as
well as improvement projects to enhance the drainage system. The plan
was reviewed by the City Council in 2010. Although individual projects
have been completed over the last several years, significant
implementation of this activity has been delayed until such time as a
drainage consultant could be selected to assist with the development of
a detailed implementation plan and prioritization. The work proposed
under this program will provide that assistance.
The Consultant, Dibble Engineering, was selected though a Request for
Statements of Interest and Qualifications solicitation and will provide
engineering services, including design and possibly construction
administration, associated with installing improvements identified in the
City’s capital budget for drainage projects, as well as provide additional
services necessary for drainage improvements in the community. The
Consultant will utilize the information contained in the DMP as well as
certain design criteria provided in the Mohave County Drainage Design
Manual to design drainage improvements as identified in the scope of
work. The improvements will consist mainly of wash stabilization where
the city is experiencing significant erosion and sedimentation issues ,
and any other drainage projects that are deemed necessary on an
Lake Havasu City Page 12 Printed on 12/10/2013
City Council Regular Meeting Agenda December 10, 2013
as-needed basis or as negotiated in the Scope of Work. The negotiated
contract will have a one-year term with a potential for two additional one
year renewals.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
There are 13 major washes, with a length of 71 miles course through
Lake Havasu City, directly adjacent to approximately 7,500 residential
and commercial lots. Nearly 30% of the community is directly adjacent
to washes and the entire community is affected by street storm drainage
systems and roadway crossings. By implementing a comprehensive
maintenance, construction and improvement program, the reliability,
efficiency and effectiveness of the drainage systems are vastly
improved.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $225,000 are budgeted in FY 13-14 and
$110,000 in each year of the remainder of the CIP plan (FY 14-15
through FY 22-23) in Drainage Improvements Engineering Services,
Project No. ST3110, Account No. 351.1840.401. 6202.
