water and other charges each month.

8.9 ID 15-0216 Adopt Resolution No. 15-2940 Adopting the Ten-Year Community
Investment Program (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2016-2025
Mr. Smothers noted that the only change to the CIP for Fiscal Years 2016-2025 since the budget
work session is the addition of $100,000 for the Site Six project.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Lin said the City started a study for the Community Athletic Fields Needs
Assessment (Fields Assessment) however no money has been set aside for that study for the
upcoming year, and asked if the $100,000 could be assigned to the Fields Assessment instead of
Site Six.
Mayor Nexsen said there are a few different options since the City ultimately does not know what
the total cost for either project is going to be. He said the Council could decide to: 1) move the
$100,000 to the Fields Assessment, 2) leave the $100,000 in the Site Six project, or 3) move the
money to the next fiscal year if there is a project that the Council decides the money could be better
spent.
Councilmember Lin said she is concerned because the City has announced an upcoming Fields
Assessment forum where the City is going to hear from the citizens; however, with no money
budgeted, she questioned why the City is asking for input when there is nothing planned in the
budget.
Councilmember Lin added that she is not against getting started on Site Six, but currently there are
no public forums scheduled for Site Six whereas there is for the Fields Assessment. She said there
is obviously going to be a need, but with no money budgeted she questioned how the City plans on
meeting that need.
Mayor Nexsen said he was guessing that the need would be budgeted in Fiscal Year 2016-17, and
stated that the $100,000 would not even get close to covering the needs for the fields.
Councilmember Lin asked how much money has been put in for the Fields Assessment, to which
Mr. Cassens said $149,000 has been carried-forward because it is not scheduled to be completed
until after the new fiscal year begins. He said no construction dollars have been assigned for either
Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 7/16/2015
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - June 9, 2015
Final
project because the projects have not yet been determined. Mr. Cassens added that there will be
public forums for both projects, and noted that the Council has the authority to move CIP dollars
from one project to another project as part of the budget amendment process.
There was discussion on the cost of both projects to date. Mr. Cassens discussed the process for the
Site Six architectural design and explained that the additional $100,000 would cover the cost of the
design drawings for permitting should the Council want to continue moving forward on the Site
Six project.
Councilmember Lin stated that she would like to see the $100,000 allocated to a project like the
Fields Assessment that is more immediate especially if the City is currently advertising community
outreach, and thought it would be better to reallocate the money now.
Mr. Cassens explained that the $149,000 completes only the assessment portion; however, if at the
end of the assessment the Council decides the $100,000 could accomplish something outlined in
the assessment, the City could make that allocation at the sacrifice of another project.
Mayor Nexsen asked if this was Council's last opportunity to add to the CIP budget, to which Mr.
Cassens stated yes. Councilmember Lin said her intention was not to increase or add to the budget.
Councilmember Lin moved to approve the budget and allocate the $100,000 intended for Site Six
in the Community Athletic Fields Needs Assessment for Fiscal Year 2015-16, seconded by
Councilmember Sheehy.
There was discussion regarding what the study portion of the Fields Needs would accomplish.
Councilmember Callahan asked what the $100,000 would accomplish for Site Six, to which Mr.
Cassens said it would complete the construction drawings for permitting.
Councilmember Sheehy asked if the $100,000 would complete the plans for Site Six in addition to
the carry-forward, to which Mr. Cassens replied yes and explained the process in more detail. He
added that staff does anticipate some savings in project design and drawings.
Councilmember Sheehy asked if staff was still anticipating the results of the Fields Assessment to
be released sometime in September, to which Mr. Cassens replied yes. Councilmember Sheehy
asked if from those results, would the Council then budget money for the next fiscal year or could
the Council use Contingency Funds if there were immediate needs that they decided should be
solved in the current fiscal year. Mayor Nexsen said the Council can always use Contingency
Funds; however, it is difficult to get four councilmembers to be in favor of doing that. He added
that the Council can also move allocations from other projects since the City budgets for more
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 7/16/2015
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - June 9, 2015
Final
projects than they intend to complete each year, or the Council could also push allocations to
another fiscal year.
Mayor Nexsen stated that there was a motion and second on the floor to approve the budget with
the amendment to move $100,000 from Site Six to the Community Athletic Fields Needs
Assessment.
Mayor Nexsen called for a roll call vote. Motion failed with Councilmember Lin voting “aye,” and
Councilmembers Callahan, Sheehy, Brister, Coke, Barlow, and Nexsen voting “nay.”

Mr. Smothers said the proposed budget remains the same as discussed during the budget work
sessions with the exception of two items: 1) the City Magistrate’s employment agreement, and 2)
the Future Foundation Grant. Mr. Smothers noted that there were no other changes.
Mayor Nexsen asked if the budget included the estimated revenues and expenses related to the new
bond offer, to which Mr. Smothers replied yes.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.

Council within certain limitations. He explained that single transactions cannot exceed $300 and
the separate total of any transactions in the fiscal year cannot exceed $1,000. Mr. Smothers added
that this can be done without using the competitive bidding process.

Bank.
Mr. Smothers advised that this item is an amendment of the agreement to extend and align the term
date to October 21, 2016.
Ms. Garry added that this is a piggy-back contract that the City uses from another community that
was allowed to extend their agreement for two years, and added that the City is just piggy-backing
off that extension.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.

8.13 ID 15-0223 Adopt Resolution No.15-2941 Approving Intergovernmental Agreement
for Joint Road Maintenance with Mohave County
Operations Director Gary Parsons said staff is recommending that the Council adopt a resolution
approving the Intergovernmental Agreement with Mohave County (County). He explained that
Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 7/16/2015
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - June 9, 2015
Final
there are some roads within the City and County with shared borders where the City and County
line go down the middle of the roadway; therefore, it only makes sense to divvy those roads up as
far as maintenance responsibility to get more continuity of the roadways.
Mr. Parsons said the shared roadways come to just over 31,000 square yards total, with the City’s
share at 15,276 square yards of pavement and the County’s share at 15,270 square yards of
pavement.
Mr. Parsons said the City would be responsible for sign and pavement maintenance for two of the
roadways in the Horizon Six limits (shown in Exhibit A1), and also responsible for the
continuation of Retail Centre Boulevard, on the backside of The Shops of Lake Havasu to London
Bridge Road (shown in Exhibit A2).
Mr. Parsons said the County would be responsible for sign and pavement maintenance for Little
Finger Drive and the continuation of Little Finger Road in Horizon Six (shown in Exhibit B1), and
also responsible for approximately 300-feet of roadway on Jacob Row, located off Highway 95
going into the Sunlake Village Development, where the County maintains the roadways inside the
development (shown on Exhibit B2).
Councilmember Barlow asked if there was an expiration date for this agreement, to which Mr.
Parsons stated that the contract is for 20 years.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Barlow moved to adopt Resolution No. 15-2941 approving the
Intergovernmental Agreement for joint road maintenance with Mohave County,

12. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Councilmember Lin requested a work session be scheduled to discuss the City acquiring the
English Village property.
Councilmember Sheehy stated that if the Council was going to schedule a work session regarding
the English Village he preferred that the City do some public outreach and asked that staff prepare
some additional facts regarding the English Village property as well as some possible solutions.
Mayor Nexsen asked staff to prepare some information and figures on the following solutions that
he has heard from the public:
• Turning the English Village property into a public park.
• Having commercial operations within the existing buildings, but refurbishing the property.
• Demolishing the existing buildings and construct new buildings but not necessarily all the
Tenant Improvements (TIs).
• Creating a public parking lot.
Ms. Garry asked if the Council would want to have discussion on how the City could acquire the
property, to which Mayor Nexsen replied yes.
There was a consensus of the Council to hold a work session as well as public outreach forums
prior to the work session to allow citizens to bring forward their ideas and possible solutions
regarding the English Village property.
Ms. Garry asked how many and what kinds of public outreach sessions was the Council interested
in having. Councilmember Sheehy said he would like to see this all happen as quickly as possible
and suggested having two public outreach sessions with a cross-section of the community outside
of the work session.
Councilmember Brister noted that the Council needs to take into consideration the fact that there
are a lot of people that live in Lake Havasu City that are not here during the summer.
Councilmember Lin asked if the public outreach sessions could be advertised in the City water
bills, to which Mr. Cassens said there is an opportunity to put a message on the water bills.
13. ADJOURN
