5. CALL TO THE PUBLIC
Mr. Bill Detlefson addressed the Council and stated by adding four more softball fields, the City
could hold softball tournaments and charge $300 per team which would mean quarter of a million
to a half a million dollars coming into the community to help cover the cost of the fields. He said if
canteens were placed on the fields and volunteers would work them, the money that is paid for
concessions could go to the Little League to reduce the parent’s expenses. Mr. Detlefson stated
that he thought it would be a boom for the City.

8.3 ID 16-0701 Adopt Resolution No. 16-3050 Adopting the Ten-Year Community
Investment Program (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2017-2026
Ms. Tabatha Miller, Administrative Services Director, addressed the Council and stated staff was
proposing adoption of the City’s Ten-Year CIP program. She stated there is a requirement in the
City Code that the CIP be adopted prior to adoption of the budget.
Ms. Miller noted one change to the CIP was made since the budget presentation before Council on
May 18th. She said $500,000 was moved from future years in the CIP into the FY 2016/17 CIP
for the Fields Needs Improvement Project to potentially add additional fields and a sports complex.
She also pointed out that on that particular project the total budget over a 3-year period is $14
million.
Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 6/30/2016
City Council Minutes - Final June 14, 2016
Ms. Miller stated the Ten-Year CIP budget is $123 million and of that, $29 million is budgeted for
FY 2016/17 which is approximately 24 percent of the total 10-year budget. She said part of the
reason for that has to do with available resources and added, staff was able to, in a 3-year cycle,
look at the projects and determine that funding is available to complete those projects. She stated
funding sources for those projects beyond the 3-year cycle have not been identified and is an
ongoing process through the budget cycle year after year.
Ms. Miller stated summary sheets were provided to Council outlining where the $29 million would
be spent, and noted that it does include the $500,000 change in the budget since the May 18th
meeting. She reviewed various projects included in the FY 2016/17 CIP budget for Council.
Councilmember Lin asked if the $2 million for the Fields Needs Improvement Project in the FY
2016/17 CIP budget included anything for the sports complex. Ms. Miller stated originally $1.5
million was included in the budget for field improvements and the additional $500,000 was added
to start that project. Mr. Greg Froslie, Community Investment Director, stated the additional
$500,000 would not go towards the sports complex that was identified on Whelan Drive because
that did not have support of the Council in previous meetings. He said the sports complex was
high on the list of important projects to accomplish so staff moved money forward to explore other
options such as building a sports complex at SARA Park. Councilmember Lin asked if there was
money included in the budget to at least put some type of stake in the complex, to which Mr.
Froslie stated that was correct. He added that staff is going to explore SARA Park as an option
which will possibly require moving some of the existing users in the park. Councilmember Lin
asked, if Council were to go forward with the project, if the $8 million sports complex could be
built in FY 2018/19. Mr. Froslie stated that was correct and added there are significant funds in
year two of the CIP but the additional funds identified in year three of the CIP would be required to
complete any large construction project.
Councilmember Sheehy stated for a point of clarification, the funds included in the FY 2016/17
CIP will include upgrades to Cypress Park and SARA Park to alleviate immediate field needs and
then start construction for the long term project the fiscal year after next. Mr. Froslie added the $2
million will be allocated towards developing Cypress Park for soccer and additional lighting at
some of the grade schools and School District properties to expand hours of operation. He added
the new money would be used to develop plans for a sports complex at SARA Park.
Councilmember Sheehy stated this year the City will be able to solve all of the immediate needs
and then next year plan for the sports complex. Mr. Cassens stated that is the reason the $500,000
has been moved to the FY 2016/17 CIP budget. He added it will take extra engineering, planning,
site preparation, and the possibility that current users may have to relocate. He stated that is why
that $500,000 has been moved up to allow staff to begin that effort.
Vice Mayor Callahan opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.

City Council Minutes - Final June 14, 2016
Councilmember Sheehy pointed out that the Airport projects are federal grants, funded through the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Councilmember Lin asked for an explanation of the Havasu 280 expenditures under the
Community Investment and Street funds. Mr. Cassens explained that there will ultimately be a
traffic intersection at Hwy 95 and also a roadway that will go into the Havasu 280 site.
Councilmember Lin asked if the $1.4 million was for the road, to which Mr. Cassens stated that
was correct.
Councilmember Coke moved to adopt Resolution No. 16-3050 adopting the
Ten-Year Community Investment Program for Fiscal Years 2017-2026, seconded by
Councilmember Brister-McCoy, and carried by the following vote:

Sheehy and Councilmember Lin
Absent: 1 - Mayor Nexsen
8.4 ID 16-0702 Adopt Resolution No. 16-3055 Adopting the Fiscal Year 2016-17
Tentative Budget
Ms. Miller stated that staff was asking Council to adopt the tentative budget which sets the highest
level or cap staff can set the final budget at which is $145,016,316. She added after tonight, the
Council can make changes to the budget or reduce the budget but cannot increase it over that
particular amount. She stated the Council previously approved the $29 million CIP plan and by
adopting the tentative budget would approve spending those funds.
Ms. Miller stated based on input from the May 18th work session and one final fix in the budget,
staff added a few items to the budget. She stated $10 million was included in the budget for the
potential to issue additional debt to support the sports facility if the money is cheap and it is in the
best interest of the City to issue that this year. Ms. Miller added an additional $200,000 has been
included in the budget because of an increase in Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) which is
received from the State, and $500,000 was included in the CIP to begin work on the sports
complex project. Ms. Miller stated when staff started looking at the expenditure limitation issue,
items that were not truly City expenditures were removed from the books. She said staff decided
to remove monies from the Western Arizona Law Enforcement Academy (WALEA), the
organization that originally set up Western Arizona Law Enforcement Training Academy
(WALETA) off from the City books but since then, staff discovered that WALEA was not
officially organized so that money was put back.
Ms. Miller stated final revenues are projected at $125.6 million and expenses just over $145
million with a little less than a $20 million discrepancy between revenues and expenses. She said
Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 6/30/2016
City Council Minutes - Final June 14, 2016
how that is covered is there is just under $100 million in reserves or fund balance that are savings
from previous years operations, money that was not spent on capital items. She added that staff
always budgets ample contingency funds and at least for a few years those funds have not been
spent and staff does not anticipate they will be spent this next year. She said in addition to that,
certain expenses never seem to hit 100 percent such as labor, supplies, and services.
Ms. Miller said the final item is the expenditure limitation and making sure that since the City is
right up against that limit that we do not exceed it. She said staff has to do a reconciliation of the
expenditure limitation that shows the amount staff expects to be subject to the expenditure
limitation this year and file Schedule A with the State. She added that does assume that we issue
$11.8 million debt to cover the additional CIP projects. She stated that is money that is excluded
from the expenditure limitation and makes this work and balance. Ms. Miller said the City’s
limitation is $56.7 million and we are just under that amount by $1.2 million.
Vice Mayor Callahan opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Vice Mayor Callahan thanked Ms. Miller and her staff for preparing the budget document.

district be changed to Light Industrial because it is more descriptive and is more in line with the
description in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
Councilmember Sheehy asked for an explanation of the BP zoning district. Mr. Schmeling stated
the BP district is the old M-1P zoning district which includes the Kiowa corridor, along Lake
Havasu Avenue just above Industrial Boulevard and south of the Airport.
Vice Mayor Callahan opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Sheehy moved to adopt Resolution No. 16-3051 declaring the “Lake

APNs 110-05-003, 110-05-023, 110-05-025, and 110-05-027, Totaling 80
Acres, Located North of Window Rock Road and East of the Lake Havasu
City Corporate Limits, as Requested by Lomas Land Co. and Bluewater
Development
Mr. Schmeling stated this is an introduction of an ordinance for a proposed annexation to Lake
Havasu City. He said the property is located on the extreme east end of town just north of Horizon
Six and includes four parcels, a total of 80 acres.
Mr. Schmeling stated that staff created a Public Facilities and Service Extension Report and the
Fire and Police Departments suggested there would be no impact for service upon annexation of
this property. He said the property in the County is zoned Agriculture/Residential (AR) and
annexation into the city would have an Agricultural-Preservation (A-P) zoning designation. Mr.
Schmeling stated that the applicant is proposing a preliminary design for a subdivision which
means he would not only go through the subdivision process potentially upon annexation but
would also request a rezone at that time which would most likely end up being rezoned to
Residential-Single Family (R-1) or Residential- Estates (R-E).
Vice Mayor Callahan opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Barlow moved to introduce Ordinance No. 16-1152 to annex four

located north of Window Rock Road and east of the Lake Havasu City corporate
limits into the Lake Havasu City limits, seconded by Councilmember

8.8 ID 16-0756 Award Agreement for Engineering Services for the Lake Havasu City
Airport to C&S Engineers, Inc.
Operations Director Louis Martinez addressed Council and requested approval of a general service
contract for engineering services for various grant projects at the Municipal Airport. He said since
this item was drafted, staff identified three specific project tasks for approximately $163,000 and
requested the motion be changed to reflect the award to C&S Engineers be in the amount of
$200,000. He said if approved by Council staff would proceed with Tasks, 1, 2, and 3 upon
Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 6/30/2016
City Council Minutes - Final June 14, 2016
approval from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA).
Mr. Martinez reviewed the following tasks for Council:
• Task 1 – Electrical vault building and back-up generator ($600,000 construction project)
• Task 2 – Fire hydrant relocation design update ($25,000 construction project)
• Task 3 – Erosion control and foreign object debris (FOD), and runway drainage
improvements ($500,000 construction project)
Mr. Martinez stated these are all grant projects totaling $1.125 million including the engineer’s
costs of fees of approximately 15 percent. He said these tasks do not include construction
administration which will be included in a future grant. Councilmember Sheehy stated these
projects are grant money and the City would be spending approximately 10 percent of the $1.2
million.
Vice Mayor Callahan asked for clarification that the motion was to be changed from $100,000 to
$200,000, to which Mr. Martinez stated that was correct.
Vice Mayor Callahan opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Sheehy moved to award the agreement for engineering services for
the Lake Havasu City Airport to C&S Engineers, Inc. in an amount not to exceed

8.9 ID 16-0744 Award Bid for the Mulberry Effluent Basin Expansion, South Intake
Structure Upgrade Project to Fann Environmental, LLC
Mr. Froslie stated the item before Council is a construction contract for a project that is part of the
City’s ongoing efforts to provide upgrades and improvements to the treated effluent distribution
system in preparation for the conversion of some of the City parks from potable water to treated
effluent. Mr. Froslie stated this project is part two of the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority
(WIFA) project that was required as part of refinancing the sewer loans. He stated the first project
was awarded on January 26, 2016, is nearing completion, and is focused on increasing capacity of
the comingling pond located at the Mulberry Treatment Plant.
Mr. Froslie stated the item before Council is focused on the South Intake Structure which is the
Lake Havasu City Page 12 Printed on 6/30/2016
City Council Minutes - Final June 14, 2016
pump station located along the shoreline of Body Beach. He said the South Intake pumps lake
water to the comingling pond and subsidizes the effluent supply during the hot summer months
when we struggle to meet our demands for effluent for our contractual obligations with the golf
courses. He stated this project would replace all of the pumps, piping system and electrical system.
Mr. Froslie stated four bids were received and all of them were under the engineer’s estimate of
$353,099. Mr. Froslie stated that Fann Environmental has worked on very similar projects over
the past several years for the City. He asked for Council approval of the contract.
Vice Mayor Callahan opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Sheehy noted that Fann Environmental was the lowest bidder on the project.
Councilmember Sheehy moved to award the Base Bid for the Mulberry Effluent
Basin Expansion, South Intake Structure upgrade project to Fann Environmental
LLC, in the amount of $332,000, seconded by Councilmember Brister-McCoy, and
