8.2 ID 15-0029 Series #07 Liquor License, Pimpin Shrimp, 2139 McCulloch Boulevard
North, Suite A/Lopez
Ms. Williams stated that this item was tabled in January and is back before the Council for their
recommendation. Ms. Williams advised that Pimpin Shrimp, located at 2139 McCulloch
Boulevard, has applied for a Series #07 liquor license. She noted that all posting requirements
were met, all fees were paid, and the location is properly zoned for a liquor license. Ms. Williams
advised that the City Clerk’s office received an objection from the Police Department; therefore,
staff is recommending disapproval of the liquor license.
Councilmember Barlow asked what the objection was by the Police Department, to which Chief
Dan Doyle stated that the Police Department objected because the applicant is pending taking a
plea agreement on four felony charges. He said per the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses
and Control (ADLLC) Board, Mr. Lopez is ineligible to hold a liquor license.
Councilmember Brister asked if Mr. Lopez would be able to come back and apply if the Council
were to deny the application, to which Chief Doyle stated it would be possible if it were brought
back by another owner of the business.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing.
Mr. Benny Lopez, owner of Pimpin Shrimp, addressed the Council and said what is pending can
change. He said he does have a back-up plan but said pending does not mean it is going to stick.
Mr. Lopez said it will be fully addressed and will hopefully turn out for the better.
Councilmember Lin stated that the Council really does not have a choice on how they vote because
when it goes to the State, they will deny the application. Mayor Nexsen asked if the plea deal was
done, to which Chief Doyle replied that it was his understanding that the plea deal was supposed to
take affect sometime this month. He said according to the County Attorney’s office, they would be
classified as Class 6 felonies. Chief Doyle stated that staff did contact ADLLC and they said under
those circumstances they would not grant the liquor license.
Mayor Nexsen stated if it would turn out for whatever reason that the County Attorney does not
pursue this, Mr. Lopez could always bring this back before the Council. Chief Doyle added if the
applicant decided to fight the charges and they would not result in felonies that would be an
automatic disqualifier.

8.3 ID 15-0020 Adopt Resolution No. 15-2901 Declaring the “2015 Amendments to the
Lake Havasu City Code Chapter 3.10, Procurement” a Public Record
City Attorney Kelly Garry said this item is a companion item to the next item on the agenda
regarding changes to the procurement code. She noted that this item is necessary to facilitate
adoption of the ordinance at the next meeting by reference.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Barlow stated that on Page 27 there is a clause regarding transfer of surplus
property, and added that when he spoke with Fire Chief Dennis Mueller the value of one of the
surplus fire trucks going to auction was approximately $30,000. He said the Town of Bouse only
had $8,000 available to purchase the surplus vehicle and he would not be interested in financing
their fire department for $20,000. Mayor Nexsen said while that may be an item for a future
agenda, the item for the Council’s consideration is to declare the amendments to the procurement
code a public record.
Councilmember Sheehy moved to adopt Resolution No. 15-2901 declaring the “2015
Amendments to the Lake Havasu City Code Chapter 3.10, Procurement” a public
record, seconded by Councilmember Coke, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Nexsen, Councilmember Barlow, Vice Mayor Brister,

Councilmember Sheehy and Councilmember Lin
8.4 ID 15-0021 Introduce Ordinance No. 15-1126 Amending Lake Havasu City Code
Chapter 3.10 Procurement
Ms. Garry stated that, fundamentally, the procurement code is the same as staff did not make any
significant changes to the processes and procedures. She said most of the changes are reformatting
and reorganizing the information to make it easier to use. Ms. Garry said the current code has an
elaborate numbering system that grouped the information by number and at times used the same
language. She said the proposed changes to the sections have been re-numbered, are shorter, and
Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 3/2/2015
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - February 10, 2015
Final
are easier to cite. She added that the proposed changes are also clearly outlined and grouped with
headings to clarify the Administrative Provisions, General Procurement Requirements,
Procurement, ARS Title 34 Procurement, and the Sale and Disposition of Property.
Ms. Garry reviewed the proposed changes to thresholds for purchases as follows:
Current Threshold Proposed Threshold
• Small Purchases – Direct Purchase $101 to $2,500 $101 to $5,000
• Small Purchases – Verbal Quotes $2,501 to $5,000 $5,001 to $10,000
• Intermediate Purchases $5,001 to $40,000 $10,001 to $50,000
• Formal Purchases $40,000 Greater than $50,000
Ms. Garry noted that when looking at other cities in Arizona, a median range for a formal purchase
is between $20,000 and $50,000, with the majority of the cities being around $50,000. She said the
caveat to that is that all the codes are written differently, they distribute the authority in different
ways, and have different triggers to what is formal. Ms. Garry stated that the proposed code also
clearly identifies in groups all exceptions to one section, and although they are exceptions to the
procurement code, there is still the caveat that any award over $50,000 has to be approved by the
Council. She said these changes to the code would create efficiencies for staff; therefore, staff is
bringing this before the Council to get a clear intent of what purchases they would like to see and
what purchases they would allow staff to do.
Ms. Garry explained that one of the new provisions is adding an online bidding option that is a
procurement process where the City receives bids for goods, services, constructions, or information
services electronically in a real time bidding event. She noted that some staff members believe that
the online bidding option would be beneficial for the City; therefore, staff took the State’s process
for online bidding and incorporated that into the proposed procurement code.
Ms. Garry further explained that staff simplified the Title 34 provisions which relates to public
buildings and improvements and technical registrants such as engineers, architects, surveyors,
geologist, etc. She said since staff is required to comply with Title 34 when procuring those types
of services, staff eliminated trying to condense Title 34 into the procurement code. She added that
anything additional or anything not contained in Title 34 is outlined and clearly identifies what
other parts of the procurement code apply to those Title 34 procurements. Ms. Garry said what
staff is trying to do is get a clear intent of what the Council would like to be brought before them
and what Council is going to allow staff to do.
Ms. Garry explained that staff brought the sale and disposition of property in line with State law.
She noted that there were some things in the current law that are not allowed by State law so staff
removed those. Ms. Garry added that one concern the City’s consultant had was the transfer
Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 3/2/2015
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - February 10, 2015
Final
provision that Councilmember Barlow brought up during the previous item. She said the State
Procurement Code has a material management program, and as part of that program, they allow the
transfer of property. Ms. Garry said staff has incorporated that into the proposed procurement code,
and added that there is also a statement in the State Procurement Code that says cities can adopt all
or portions of the procurement code but it does not clearly identify that the City can adopt the
provisions of the material management program. Ms. Garry explained that the argument is that the
material management program is part of the State’s Procurement Code that the City can adopt and
use part of, but said there is lingering concern of whether the transfer provision is something that
the City has specific authority to do. She said that is important to staff because the City does make
transfers of surplus property, especially to the school district, and staff would like to continue to
have the ability to do that. She noted that while it is a small concern, she wanted to disclose it to
the Council.
Ms. Garry explained that there is a section in the current code and in the proposed code that talks
about the value of the contract and how that is applied or interpreted. She said the purpose of that
is to avoid circumventing of the code by purposely breaking up or segregating a larger purchase
into smaller purchases to avoid certain regulations and going through a small procurement instead
of a formal procurement. She noted that for purposes of determining whether the purchase is made
through an informal procedure the value of the contract is based on the fiscal year. Ms. Garry
explained that the current practice is once the threshold is exceeded with any one vendor, staff has
to go before the Council for approval of expenditures over the $40,000 threshold even though the
procurements were done in accordance with whatever is required based on the procurement
amount. She said to compound that or make it more difficult, is the procurement based by
department or division, and is it based by type of service or product. She asked, for example, if
there is a formal award that was already brought before the Council for $75,000 and now there is
an informal process and it is awarded to the same company for $20,000, does staff have to come
back for approval because the $40,000 threshold has been exceeded. Ms. Garry said what staff is
proposing is for each procurement to be considered individually so there is not a cumulative effect
of bringing the same thing back to the Council over and over again. Ms. Garry said staff needs to
know the Council’s expectations of what their intent is and what they want staff to bring forward
for approval.
Councilmember Callahan said, using the scenarios Ms. Garry explained, he assumed the bidding
process would be followed with each occurrence, to which Ms. Garry replied yes, and explained
that the procurement official, city manager, and city attorney oversees the process, and it also goes
through different approvals, as well as final sign off by the administrative services director. Ms.
Garry noted that there is no circumvention of the procurement code. She said the question is how
many times the Council wants these items to be brought before them for approval.
Councilmember Barlow said the proposed changes were satisfactory to him. He added that as far as
Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 3/2/2015
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - February 10, 2015
Final
he was concerned he thought it best to keep the process as simple as possible.
Councilmember Callahan agreed and thought there were enough procedures in place to make
certain things are being done properly. He agreed to keep it simple but still abide by the State
statues.
Councilmember Brister agreed and said people always question why items keep coming back to
the Council for approval when they were already approved. Councilmember Brister favored
increasing the threshold to $50,000.
Councilmember Coke agreed with Councilmember Brister and said the City has very competent
staff. She said the Council oversees everything that they need to and sometimes they tend to
overthink or overanalyze things that common sense. Councilmember Coke favored increasing the
threshold to $50,000 as well.
Councilmember Sheehy asked if the proposed change would still allow staff to continue transfers
of property, to which Ms. Garry explained that it would limit what staff is currently doing as far as
disposal of goods. She added that the City does transfers to other political subdivisions such as the
school district and the way the proposed code is written would allow those transfers to occur but
not as broad as what is in the current code. Councilmember Sheehy asked if the proposed code
would allow transfers of property of $3,000, to which Ms. Garry said that is how it is written in the
current code, so as soon as the value reaches a threshold it then requires Council approval before
the item is disposed.
Councilmember Sheehy asked if staff was comfortable leaving transfers in the proposed code as it
is instead of allowing the code to be what is actually done in practice, to which Ms. Garry stated
that staff has ceased doing those types of transfers until the new procurement code is in place.
Councilmember Callahan stated that he was comfortable with the proposed changes to the code
and was supportive of any opportunity to create efficiencies. He was also in favor of increasing the
threshold to $50,000.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.
Mayor Nexsen said there looked like there was no additional approval needed other than
department approval for intermediate purchases, to which Ms. Garry replied that intermediate
purchases also go through Administrative Services. Mayor Nexsen asked the City Manager how
comfortable he was with not seeing items that might be $48,000 or $49,000, to which Mr. Cassens
stated that he was not concerned, and added that the previous code was so complex and confusing
that staff tended to lean on the side of being conservative and brought more things forward and
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 3/2/2015
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - February 10, 2015
Final
processed more purchases than really necessary. He added that the proposed changes not only
keeps the checks and balances in place but it relieves some of the pressure on management and
also on the Council for having to approve what could be deemed an inordinate number of routine
purchases.
Mayor Nexsen said Item #7 under intermediate purchases states “A price agreement solicited
pursuant to this Section may be used for contracts with a term up to 5 years and for a maximum
total dollar amount less than or equal to $50,000 within each fiscal year.” He asked if this section
would allow him to enter into a lease for personal property for $248,000 but only pay less than
$50,000 a year on that lease. Ms. Garry stated if you are entering into a contract and the aggregate
is $250,000 it would have to be approved by Council even though it is not in that fiscal year.
Mayor Nexsen said he wanted to make sure staff would not be able to skirt around the code by
using a lease to buy a big piece of equipment that is not approved by that Council.
Purchasing/Grants Supervisor Kim Fiumara explained that a price agreement would be an
agreement based on a unit cost, such as tons of aggregate or tires, and could not exceed $50,000
per year; therefore, if staff came before the Council with a piece of equipment it would be for a
total cost. Ms. Fiumara said a price goes by unit costs and not exceeding a certain amount, whereas
a lease would be cumulative of what the total lease cost would be. Mayor Nexsen said he
understood that but wanted to make sure it was not interpreted to be a way to get around going
through a formal purchase process. Mr. Cassens stated the overall contract for the equipment itself
would be one contract that the Council would be asked to approve and would not be a separate
contract at the end of each fiscal year for $50,000.
Mayor Nexsen said, with regard to preference in purchasing, the City cannot do local preference
except for the 2 percent sales tax portion, but the proposed changes suggests that as long as it is a 5
percent differential the City can give a local preference. Ms. Garry explained that the consultant
reviewed this section and gave staff a recommendation according to current practices and law and
how things are trending in Arizona as far as preferences. She said based on what other cities are
doing and where that comfort level is, this is the recommended preference section that staff
received from the consultant. Mayor Nexsen stated that he wanted to make sure the City is on solid
ground before awarding those contracts. Ms. Garry said there are current ongoing litigations and
appeals regarding preferences for other cities, and added that this is an area that staff will continue
to watch and if the litigation starts coming down saying you cannot do that, staff would be sure to
amend the code and amend the City’s practices.
Councilmember Sheehy asked if the State Procurement Law allows the 5 percent preferential, to
which Ms. Garry stated she believed there were some preference provisions within the State
statues. Ms. Garry noted that she would provide that additional information prior to final reading of
the ordinance.

8.5 ID 15-0037 Adopt Ordinance No. 15-1125 Rezoning and Approving a Major
Amendment to Planned Development APN 120-03-060; 6590 Chenoweth
Drive, from M-1P/PD (Industrial Park Planned Development) to M-1P/PD
Amending the General Development Plan from Eight Industrial Lots to a
222 Unit RV Resort
Senior Planner Stuart Schmeling advised that the City received a request from the property owner
at 6590 Chenoweth Drive, located just east of Highway 95 at the corner of Chenoweth Drive and
Victoria Farms Road. Mr. Schmeling said the Eagle Storage development on the north end has
been fully developed since about 2005, and added that the southern portion was originally
proposed for 8 industrially zoned lots. He advised that the proposed amendment includes 19.23
acres and will include up to 222 RV sites, a club house, a pool, outdoor amenities, and some
additional ancillary commercial uses that support the product within the park. Mr. Schmeling
further advised that the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to approve this amendment.
Councilmember Callahan asked if any permits would need to be acquired from the Army Corps of
Engineers, to which Mr. Schmeling stated he believed there would be but would let the applicant
answer that question.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing.
Mr. Anthony Caputo addressed the Council and stated that he was a former resident of Lake
Havasu City and has owned this property since approximately 2005. He said he gave a piece of the
property, at a reasonable price, to the City to put in a lift station and in trade the City would
provide sewer to the Havasu RV Resort. Mr. Caputo said the 19.23 acres is owned by himself and
Mr. Bill Shufflel and is being purchased by Mr. Bill Kaufman, a resident of Oregon. He said Mr.
Kaufman intends to build Horizon RV Development and will be the project manager for the
construction phase and manage the property after it opens in 2015. He said it will be a top-rated,
state of the art RV resort with condos for sale, timeshares, and some rentals. Mr. Caputo said the
ancillary buildings will be for hobbies such as woodworking and pottery.
Mayor Nexsen stated his concern is that it is being placed in an industrial zone and said when
industry does go in people will complain. He asked Mr. Caputo how they intend to advise people
that at some time in the future the residents will be putting up with industrial noises, to which Mr.
Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 3/2/2015

Final
Caputo explained that real estate law requires them to disclose everything about the area including
the dump and the airport. Mayor Nexsen noted that has not stopped people in other facilities who
complain about the potential of a motor sports facility and industry that could go in there, as many
of those people have told him that they had no idea that they were in an industrial zone. Mr.
Caputo said most people do not always read the paperwork but they are required to disclose
everything.
Councilmember Sheehy asked if there would be transient lodging or full time residents, to which
Mr. Caputo stated there would be both.
Councilmember Brister said she too has the same concerns as Mayor Nexsen with regard to the
industrial noise. She said people complain about the potential noise, dust, and pollution because
there might be a sports park in that area. She said even though the verbiage about industrial is in
the contract, it could save the Council a lot of trouble if the potential buyers understood that it is in
an industrial area.
There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Callahan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 15-1125 rezoning and
approving a major amendment to planned development APN 120-03-060 from
M-1P/PD amending the general development plan from eight industrial lots to a 222
