City Council Minutes - Final September 13, 2016
an advocate for general aviation and has a background in aviation. He reviewed his
background for Council and stated that he and his wife started vacationing in Lake

14, Zoning, To Make Necessary and Minor Corrections to the
Amendments Adopted June 28, 2016
Zoning Administrator Stuart Schmeling stated this item was introduced at the last meeting
and is an ordinance to correct a public record which was adopted on June 28th.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Vice Mayor Callahan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 16-1160 amending Lake
Havasu City Code Title 14, Zoning, to make necessary and minor corrections to the
amendments adopted on June 28, 2016, seconded by Councilmember Barlow, and
carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Nexsen, Councilmember Barlow, Councilmember
Brister-McCoy, Vice Mayor Callahan, Councilmember Coke,
Councilmember Sheehy and Councilmember Lin
8.6 ID 16-0866 Adopt Ordinance No. 16-1162 Amending Ordinance No. 16-1153
Regarding Lake Havasu City Code Title 14, Zoning, to Clarify the
Renaming of the Business Park District
Mr. Schmeling stated on June 14th Council adopted an ordinance that contained several
amendments to the Development Code and during his presentation he had mentioned that
a citizen spoke before the Planning & Commission (P&Z) asking them to consider
changing a zoning designation from Business Park District (BP) to Light Industrial
District (LI). Mr. Schmeling said that change was incorporated in the P&Z’s
recommendation to Council, however, that change was never adopted as part of the
adoption process. Mr. Schmeling stated that staff was asked to bring this back before the
Council to discuss and clarify the zoning designation.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing.
Mr. Hal Christiansen, Commercial Realtor for Coldwell Banker, addressed the Council
and stated that under the old Development Code there were three commercial
designations, Limited Commercial District (C-1), General Commercial District (C-2), and
Industrial Park District (M-1-P). He said when the new Development Code was adopted
he noticed that M-1-P was replaced with Business Park (BP). Mr. Christiansen stated the
realtors receive a lot of inquiries from investors looking to buy light industrial properties
and if the zoning classification were to be changed to BP it would indicate that it was
located in a business park and they may want a stand-alone building. He said that he
brought that before the P&Z and they agreed that LI would be a better designation. Mr.
Christiansen stated by changing the designation to LI, the realtors could state in their
listing under public remarks that it is located in a business park.
Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 9/28/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 13, 2016
There being no further comments, he closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Barlow asked if that was the opinion of the P&Z to change the zoning
designation. Mr. Schmeling stated that he believed they added that to their
recommendation.
Councilmember Brister-McCoy asked if all businesses in a business park pay Home
Owner’s Association (HOA) fees. Mr. Schmeling stated the BP zoning term has nothing
to do with being in a business park or have any HOA fees associated with it. He added
the term BP is a zoning term that is becoming more popular to sway away from the term
industrial. He added by changing the name, they are not changing any of the uses,
restrictions or requirements. Vice Mayor Callahan asked if that would affect the Business
Park at the Airport, to which Mr. Schmeling replied no.
Councilmember Barlow asked if changing the zoning designation was a consensus of the
real estate community. Mr. Christiansen explained that out of the 640 realtors in Lake
Havasu City, only six primarily deal in commercial real estate and they agreed that the
designation of BP would be confusing to investors if they would want a stand-alone
building.
Councilmember Brister-McCoy said the Council has three choices, Light Industrial (LI),
Industrial Park (M-1-P), or Light Industrial (M-1-P). Mr. Christiansen stated his
recommendation would be to change it to LI.
Mayor Nexsen stated as an example, a veterinary business may look at a listing that says
LI, and they may say that is not for me because that is for industry. Mr. Christiansen
stated that normally a veterinarian would contact a realtor and ask what type of zoning
designation they would need to be in.
Councilmember Sheehy asked for an explanation of where M-1-P came from. Mr. John
Parrish explained M-1, M-2 and M-3 for Council and added the “P” stands for
production.
Mayor Nexsen stated that if it is confusing for the realtors and in any way preventing
business from considering locating in Lake Havasu City, he did not see why we would
not change the name of the zoning designation. He added that he felt there may be a
better name than LI. Ms. Garry stated the fear was not just saying industrial or LI but it
was to give it more innovation and show the enhancements that were made into that
district. She added the fear was going with LI because there is much more to that
designation. Mayor Nexsen suggested that it be named business and light manufacturing.

City Council Minutes - Final September 13, 2016
Councilmember Brister-McCoy stated if she were bringing a veterinarian business into
town and saw industrial, she would not want to be in that location, she would want a
stand-alone business. Mr. Christiansen stated if there were a veterinarian office coming
into town, they would normally talk to a realtor. He added that there are too many
industrial locations in Lake Havasu City that are not located in a business park.
Councilmember Brister-McCoy stated that she agreed with Mr. Christiansen that she
would contact a realtor.
Councilmember Sheehy moved to adopt Ordinance No. 16-1162 amending
Ordinance No. 16-1153 regarding Title 14, Zoning, of the Lake Havasu City Code to
rename every reference to the Business Park District (BP) to Light Industrial
District (LI), seconded by Councilmember Barlow, and carried by the following
vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Nexsen, Councilmember Barlow, Councilmember
Brister-McCoy, Vice Mayor Callahan, Councilmember Coke,
Councilmember Sheehy and Councilmember Lin
8.7 ID 16-0878 Award Bid for Effluent Reuse Enhancement to AZCA Drilling
Water Resources Coordinator Dr. Doyle Wilson stated he was before Council to ask
approval to drill a second test recovery well for effluent that would be recharged into the
subsurface out by the Airport at the City’s North Regional Treatment Plant. He said staff
has recharged approximately 3,045 acre-feet of water since 2008 and with what the City
charges for effluent is valued around $1 million to $1.2 million. He said if it were water
the City would have to buy, it would be close to $12 million. Dr. Wilson stated the low
bidder was AZCA Drilling for $121,200 and added, that would only be for drilling the
well and would not include the infrastructure.
Mayor Nexsen stated that when this project first came about he was all for it because it
seemed like a great way to put the effluent in the ground and take it out before it reached
the water table. He said notwithstanding that it is supposed to be worth $1 million, he
asked what the project has cost to this point. Dr. Wilson stated what they are talking
about is the cost of disposing the treated wastewater as per the Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality Aquifer Protection Permit. He reviewed the average cost per well
and noted the total construction costs to be $2.9 million and annual operational costs at
approximately $165,000 per year. Dr. Wilson stated it would be highly debatable how
much it is worth and would depend on the market, but with shortages inching closer all
the time those numbers are going to go up. He said this is part of a water portfolio that he
thinks is going to be cheaper in the long run and will help extend the City’s water
allocation to avoid buying water in the future. Dr. Wilson stated the Bureau of
Reclamation (BOR) rules for accessing water with the accounting surface is if the City
drills a well and the water level is below the lake level, then the water is federal water and
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 9/28/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 13, 2016
will go against the City’s allocation but if the water is above the lake level then it is free
water because BOR considers it as water that is coming down from the mountains. Dr.
Wilson reviewed the proposed drill sites for Council.
Mayor Nexsen stated that it costs the City approximately $4 million to get $1 million
worth of water. He added that it is effluent coming out of the ground but there is no way
to distribute that other than using a truck. Dr. Wilson stated that there is an 18 inch
effluent pipeline that follows Whelan Drive east to west. Mayor Nexsen stated that the
City would still have to bring it from the well to the pipeline, to which Dr. Wilson stated
that it would only be several hundred feet of pipe. Mayor Nexsen suggested that the City
might be better off building a pipeline from the North Wastewater Treatment facility to
the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) line and use the effluent to irrigate all
of our parks and other systems. Dr. Wilson stated that he agreed with that 100 percent
but stated this well would be a storage mechanism. Discussion followed concerning the
Vadose wells.
Councilmember Lin asked if there is urgency with this project. Dr. Wilson explained not
at this point in time but stated the BOR, most of the major water providers, and the states
that make up the Lower Colorado River Basin project the first declared shortage at about
a 50 percent chance in 2018. He added that would not affect the City because there are
various safeguards in place but if there is a second or third shortage and depending on the
magnitude the City could do restrictive conservation which is included in one of the
City’s ordinances. Dr. Wilson stated that his personal goal is to make the city
self-sufficient as possible and prolong any problems that may come down the line by
preparing the most robust water portfolio that we can do on our own. Councilmember
Lin stated that this is more or less preventive measures, to which Dr. Wilson replied yes.
Mayor Nexsen asked what would happen if we drill and are disappointed as to the quality
of the water or the amount of the water. Dr. Wilson stated he was not worried about the
quality of water but only the quantity of water. He added that if it does not work at this
spot then we are not going to make it in this region because that is the best location on
city owned property. Mayor Nexsen stated so this is the last step to see if this Vadose
well works. Dr. Wilson pointed out that the well will be there for a long time and
construction of the well would not have to be completed at this time.
Councilmember Sheehy asked what assurances staff has that this is a good area and what
studies have been done to put all of this faith in this last well. Dr. Wilson stated a
consulting firm out of Tucson has done a very good job of trying to understand the City’s
position and has given us the best chance. He added that is not to say if we move onto a
private parcel there is not a better well.
Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 9/28/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 13, 2016
Mr. Cassens stated the WAPA line is included in the CIP budget and is something staff is
pursuing. He added that Dr. Wilson has been diligently searching for grants that could
potentially help determine the feasibility of this project. Mr. Cassens stated staff is
looking at contingencies and Dr. Wilson is absolutely right that the city has to be as water
tight a community as possible. He said in pursuing those other uses, ideally it is his goal
to essentially use every drop that we produce immediately with irrigation and non-potable
uses that are approved. Mr. Cassens stated he would not suggest that the Vadose project
be abandoned in its entirety because it is a good safety net in the event we cannot use all
of the water we produce and is also a condition of our Aquifer Protection Permit. He
added that we need to keep it working but whether we are able to economically exploit it
in a manner that pencils out that remains to be seen, so we can punch this last hole and see
where it goes and if it does not turn out we will go elsewhere.
Mayor Nexsen stated that we are at a point of no return and if you do not poke the hole
you will never know so you have to do it anyway. He said from an economic standpoint
to be able to deliver effluent directly to our parks through a line would be a $5 million
plus project and then use the Vadose well as a safety net. Mayor Nexsen said he had
some high hopes for this seven or eight years ago but it has not turned out the way he
thought it would.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Sheehy moved to award the bid for Effluent Reuse Enhancement to
AZCA Drilling (Project No. SS2960), seconded by Councilmember Brister-McCoy,
and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Nexsen, Councilmember Barlow, Councilmember
Brister-McCoy, Vice Mayor Callahan, Councilmember Coke,
Councilmember Sheehy and Councilmember Lin
8.8 ID 16-0894 Approve Cooperative Purchase of One (1) Animal Control Vehicle - 2017
F250 Super Cab 4X2 with ARF Animal Body from San Tan Ford
Maintenance Services Division Manager Mark Clark stated this item is the replacement of
the existing dog catcher vehicle that was converted from an existing van when the Police
Department took over those responsibilities.
Mayor Nexsen asked what would be done to the existing vehicle, to which Mr. Clark
stated it would be auctioned.
Councilmember Lin asked how many animals are transported in a month. Captain Troy
Stirling stated that when officers collect animals they try and deliver them to the Humane
Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 9/28/2016
City Council Minutes - Final September 13, 2016
Society in a reasonable amount of time depending on the circumstances. Councilmember
Lin asked if there was only one vehicle used to pick up animals. Captain Stirling stated
there is an additional animal control vehicle. Mr. Clark added there are two Animal
Control Officers. Mr. Cassens stated that the first goal of the Animal Control Officer is to
deliver the animals to their home by scanning for chips, looking at their dog tags, and
other resources that are immediately available through City channels. He added that
transferring the animals to the Humane Society is the last resort. Mr. Cassens stated that
the vehicles are fully air conditioned if that was Councilmember Lin’s concern.
Councilmember Lin stated her concern was buying a brand new vehicle when there is
only 50,000 miles on the existing vehicle and wondered how often it was utilized. Mr.
Cassens explained that the vehicles are used every day and the officers transport 90 to
100 animals per month.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Vice Mayor Callahan moved to approve a cooperative purchase for one (1) Animal
Control Vehicle – 2017 F250 Super Cab 4X2 with ARF Body from San Tan Ford in

between nine and eleven years old.
Vice Mayor Callahan asked if these were the last of the Crown Victoria vehicles to be
replaced, to which Mr. Clark stated that he believed they were.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.

Earthmovers, Inc.
Mr. Clark stated the item before Council is to replace the existing milled material on the
Mesquite Avenue parking lot that was a stop gap measure when this project was initiated.
He said the milled material was salvaged from the Acoma Boulevard project with an
inexpensive chip seal on the top of it which has given us three years of service. Mr. Clark
stated the City is now replacing that with a paved parking lot.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
