Councilmember Sheehy asked if the Wi-Fi in the Bridgewater Channel (Channel) was for
City staff or public use. Mr. Cassens explained the Wi-Fi would be for public use but the
primary purpose would be to enhance public safety in the Channel and increase digital
communications both in the Channel and surrounding area. He said the extra band width
that will be available, will be sufficient to provide free Wi-Fi to the public if that is the
direction the City would want to go. Mr. Cassens stated that it is not the intention of the
City to compete for those types of services and added, if there are providers that do
provide Wi-Fi in that area, staff would work with those providers to fill in any gaps in
service. He also said that it would increase the connectivity to the Island Treatment Plant.
Mr. Cassens stated that this is the first step in bringing greater band width to the
community and ultimately staff hopes to expand that to the central downtown area.

City Council Minutes - Final October 11, 2016
Vice Mayor Callahan asked if the City would have to provide additional power to that
area. Mr. Cassens stated there is power that runs the lights in the Channel but it is not
very reliable. He said the lights in the Channel come on and go off at the same time and
what staff would like to do is bring constant power through that area through some of the
existing conduit with un-switched power to each of the pedestals. He added the lights
would control themselves but staff would also be able to control them by wireless remote
control.
Councilmember Sheehy stated it was a little misleading to say the Channel because he did
not think the public perception would be on the London Bridge Beach side because the
most traveled area is between the London Bridge and Rotary Community Park. Mr.
Cassens stated the lighting would be on the London Bridge Beach side right now but
added that it would be nice to have a consistent look and if the people like the way that it
looks, the City may carry that into other areas in the future.

the City’s insurance broker. She added the intent is to remain with Travelers insurance
coverage at this time. Ms. Palbicki stated the renewal premium is $833,336.20,

8.3 ID 16-0928 Adopt Resolution No. 16-3096 Authorizing the City to Borrow up to
$12,225,000 from an Arizona Bank in the Form of a Loan to Finance
Certain Street Improvements, Wastewater Projects, Parks and Recreational
Facilities’ Improvements, Airport Improvements and Other General
Projects and Acquisitions; Authorizing the Execution and Delivery of a
Loan Agreement Setting Forth the Terms of the Loan and Providing for
the Repayment Thereof; Pledging the City’s Excise Tax Revenues as
Security Therefore; Authorizing the execution of a Placement Agent
Agreement and other Necessary Agreements; and Declaring an Emergency
Administrative Services Director Tabatha Miller stated that Mr. Mark Reeder with Stifel
would be presenting the second half of the presentation to Council. Ms. Miller said that
staff has gone through several reiterations regarding the potential debt the City is going to
issue and what staff is asking is that the Council approve up to $12.25 million in debt.
She said there are some caveats in the resolution; the total interest rate has to be less than
three percent and the repayment period at five years or less. She added that if approved,
the resolution would delegate to the City Manager, the Mayor and herself the ability to
execute the final documents for that debt issuance; the loan agreement with an Arizona
bank, the placement agreement with Stifel, the disbursement agreement, and a caveat of
many other documents.
Ms. Miller stated the reason the City is issuing this debt is because of the Expenditure
Limitation (EL) and what this loan does is allow the City to spend that money on capital
projects and other capital outlay; is excluded from the EL and when the City repays that
debt, it is also excluded from the EL.
Ms. Miller stated that the other thing that staff was looking at in this process is short-term
debt issuance and the ability to pre-pay the debt to manage the interest costs. She said
this is not about money but is about the need for expenditure capacity. She stated at the
Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 10/26/2016
City Council Minutes - Final October 11, 2016
end of August, the City had approximately $98 million in the bank and intended to pay
for these projects with cash but is not able due to the EL.
Ms. Miller stated that staff chose a private placement as the vehicle to use, and looked at
Arizona banks to keep the money local and the ability to deal with local institutions. She
said a Request for Proposals (RFP) was sent to 15 banks, pledging local sales tax as the
repayment structure. Ms. Miller said that saved on the cost of extensive staff and elected
official time because the City does not have to do bond rating or prepare an official
statement. She added that it also gives flexibility in terms of repayment which was one of
the key features because staff wanted the ability to pre-pay and with traditional bond
structure, it is hard to get call features before the ten year mark.
Mr. Reeder stated when he was contacted by Ms. Miller to assist with this transaction she
was pretty clear about a couple of things; the lowest cost of capital, the lowest interest
rate possible, and the flexibility to pre-pay. He said after a lot of discussion, they selected
the alternative of a private placement versus the bond issuance process and moved
forward accordingly. Mr. Reeder reviewed current interest rates for Council, and added
that there are some whispers from the Federal Reserve that they want to make some
changes on this front in December so this is a very good time for the City to consider this
financing.
Mr. Reeder stated that the private placement market came into play after the great
recession of 2008 and 2009 when a lot of the banks were disappointed in their loan
volume because of economic conditions and that is when the banks started approaching
cities and approached his firm because they represent a lot of cities. He said private
placement is especially attractive for the type of financing the City is doing to be able to
repay the obligations over a shorter period of time.
Mr. Reeder stated out of the 15 financial institutions that received the RFP, eight bids
were received which is reflective of the market believing in the City and doing a great job
financially. He said the bids were all over the board and many would not allow the
pre-payment provision. Mr. Reeder stated they are going to work towards moving on a
closing with National Bank of Arizona which is a large super regional bank that is doing a
fair amount of business around the state. He said that they provided a very strong bid at
1.49 percent and the call feature at any time without premium. Mr. Reeder stated that
National Bank of Arizona was the only financial institution that gave them that complete
flexibility. He said the debt service will be around $12.5 million which the City can pay
for in the budget process and with Council approval this evening, a conference call will
be scheduled tomorrow with Ms. Miller and Mr. Cassens to go over the details with
National Bank. Mr. Reeder stated if all goes well, they would move towards a closing on
or around October 27th.

City Council Minutes - Final October 11, 2016
Mayor Nexsen stated that in light of the fact that most people think that interest rates are
going to rise, he wondered what the rational was for some banks not allowing the pre-pay
option. Mr. Reeder stated that his thought was that the banks have portfolios and they
want a certain period of time in which that pre-payment provision does not occur for
various technical reasons. He said the nice thing about the National Bank bid is the City
will be able to pay off the higher rate interest quicker.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Sheehy clarified for the public that these are not new capital projects that
the City is trying to fund, they are the ongoing Capital Improvement Projects and because
of the EL, the City is required to take out a loan in order to get the parks, roads and other
projects done.
Mayor Nexsen asked if this would affect the sewer financing in any way, to which Ms.
Miller said no.
Vice Mayor Callahan moved to adopt Resolution No. 16-3096 authorizing the City to
borrow up to $12,225,000 from an Arizona Bank in the form of a loan to finance
certain street improvements, wastewater projects, parks and recreational facilities’
improvements, airport improvements and other general projects and acquisitions;
authorizing the execution of delivery of a loan agreement setting forth the terms of
the loan and providing for the repayment thereof; pledging the City’s excise tax
revenues as security therefore; authorizing the execution of a placement agent
agreement and other necessary agreements; and declaring an emergency, seconded
by Councilmember Barlow, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6 - Mayor Nexsen, Councilmember Barlow, Councilmember
Brister-McCoy, Vice Mayor Callahan, Councilmember Coke

8.4 ID 16-0927 Introduce Ordinance No. 16-1164 Amending City Code Section
11.08.220, Financial Responsibility, of the Airport Operating Regulations
Chapter
City Attorney Kelly Garry stated that staff routinely updates their template agreements
and several months ago updated the templates related to airport activities. She said
questions arose from the airport users and members of the Airport Advisory Board
regarding the new insurance requirements and liability, but specific concerns were raised
concerning City Code (Code) Section 11.08.220 which establishes minimum insurance
Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 10/26/2016
City Council Minutes - Final October 11, 2016
requirements for aircrafts based at the airport in order to demonstrate financial
responsibility. Ms. Garry stated that the language caused confusion with respect to the
minimum insurance requirements in agreements for activities at the airport. She added
that section in no way prohibits the City from having different coverages in these types of
agreements but it did cause some confusion. Ms. Garry said in order to avoid confusion
in the future and as good practice, it is recommended to amend that section of the Code.
She said the proposed amendments are to remove the specific insurance coverage
amounts as insurance coverages can vary greatly depending on the proposed use and type
of aircraft. Ms. Garry stated further, it is not a good practice to place specific insurance
requirements in the Code. Ms. Garry stated that the Airport Advisory Board
recommended adoption of the proposed ordinance at their September 21st meeting and
staff recommends introduction of this ordinance.
Mayor Nexsen asked what the concerns were, and stated when he looked at the minimum
insurance requirement he has more insurance on his car. Ms. Garry stated that the
insurance requirements contained in the airport agreements are much higher than what is
contained in the Code section so there was a lot confusion with the insurance
requirements contained in the Code even though staff explained that those are minimum
requirements for airport users in general and not specific to anybody entering into an
agreement with the City where that would be negotiated and would likely require higher
insurance to protect the facilities and premises of the airport. She added there was some
push back about having those specific requirements in the Code and added, it is not a
good idea to have those in the Code because depending on the activity and depending on
the aircraft, the insurance coverages vary greatly at the airport. Ms. Garry stated that in
the future staff could put together some airport policies that contain a matrix of insurance
requirements.
Mayor Nexsen asked if staff regularly asks for proof of insurance, to which Ms. Garry
stated not for general users of the airport but staff does request proof of insurance for
anybody who enters into an agreement with the City. Mayor Nexsen stated that if he
would have an aircraft that is on a City owned tie-down, staff would not ask for
insurance. Ms. Garry stated there are tie-down agreements so it would depend on
whether you enter into an agreement but if you are just parking at the airport for the day,
staff may not ask for insurance.
Councilmember Sheehy added that the conversation was that not all policies are like an
automobile policy which is how the current code reads so there was push back from the
users. He added this ordinance is a good mold to be able to solve their needs and also
serves the needs of the City. Ms. Garry added that they had received some questions
whether staff can question the users regarding their insurance because it is different than
car insurance where there is a statutory requirement for car insurance, there is no statutory
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 10/26/2016
City Council Minutes - Final October 11, 2016
requirement for aircraft. She stated most aircraft users have insurance to cover liabilities
but it was causing confusion that you cannot require the people that land at your airport to
show proof of insurance and staff was asked to show them in the Federal Aviation
Administration rules that would allow staff to ask for insurance for those landing at the
airport. She added staff can require the people that are based at the airport for long
periods of time to show proof of insurance or financial responsibility.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing.
Mr. Chuck Vaughn asked what the minimum insurance requirements are in the Code.
Ms. Garry stated the proposed ordinance removes the minimum insurance requirements
from the Code. She reviewed the current code requirements for Mr. Vaughn
There being no further comments, Mayor Nexsen closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Barlow moved to introduce Ordinance No. 16-1164 amending Lake
Havasu City Code Section 11.08.220, Financial Responsibility, seconded by Vice

8.5 ID 16-0951 Adopt Resolution No. 16-3097 Approving Ingress and Egress Access
Agreement with Arizona State Land Department for Parcel Adjoining Sir
Peter Gadsden Boulevard, London Bridge Beach, and Parking Lot
Community Investment Director Greg Froslie stated back in 2003 the City acquired
London Bridge Beach from the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) and a condition
of that sale was that the City would dedicate access to the ASLD parcels that are adjacent
to Sir Peter Gadsden. He said that should have happened per the agreement within the
first year of the lease and it was recently brought to staff’s attention due to some recent
activity between ASLD and a current lease holder on the Island. Mr. Froslie stated that
the Islander Resort lease has shrunk creating some vacant parcels that could be auctioned
off but because this action never took place, ASLD does not have dedicated public access,
which is a requirement of statute. He added that staff has been working with ASLD and a
registered land surveyor and have collaboratively written a legal description carving out
this roadway easement and a number of driveways. He stated that by approving this
agreement tonight the City will fulfill our original commitment from 2003 and dedicate
public access to all ASLD parcels adjacent to Sir Peter Gadsden.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public

8.6 ID 16-0930 Adopt Ordinance No. 16-1165 Approving a Request to Rezone Tract
2289, Block 2, Lot 2, 3570 Sweetwater Avenue, from C-1 (Limited
Commercial District) to C-2 (General Commercial District)
Zoning Administrator Stuart Schmeling addressed the Council and stated that this
property is located on the south side of town just off the intersection of McCulloch
Boulevard and Sweetwater Avenue, off from Highway 95 and is between an outdoor
storage yard and the Ace Hardware Store. Mr. Schmeling stated that the applicant is
requesting to rezone to C-2. He added that the adjoining property to the east is also C-2
and the remainder of the block is C-1. He stated that back in the mid 1990’s, Ace
Hardware was allowed, through a conditional use permit and most likely under a different
code, in the C-2 district at that time. Mr. Schmeling also stated that the applicant is
requesting a conditional use permit to allow open storage. He said the Planning & Zoning
Commission (P&Z) did approve the conditional use permit with the condition that the
Council approves the rezoning request. Mr. Schmeling stated that the existing General
Plan shows that area as commercial which both C-1 and C-2 are implementing zoning
districts of commercial and therefore meets the current and upcoming General Plan.
Mayor Nexsen asked for the definition of an open storage facility. Mr. Schmeling stated
that it is typically a fenced storage yard and added that his understanding is that it would
look like a mirror image of the existing C-2 lot. Mayor Nexsen said that he noticed the
P&Z vote was 5-1 and asked what the objection was from the one vote. Mr. Schmeling
stated the descending vote did not submit why he voted against the rezoning but noted it
was a 6-0 vote on the conditional use permit.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Sheehy moved to adopt Ordinance No. 16-1165 approving a request
to rezone Tract 2289, Block 2, Lot 2, 3570 Sweetwater Avenue, from C-1 (Limited
Commercial District) to C-2 (General Commercial District), seconded by
Councilmember Brister-McCoy, and carried by the following vote:

8.7 ID 16-0915 Approve Cooperative Purchase of a Zetron IP Based Fire Station Alerting
System from Creative Communications
Fire Chief Brian Davis stated the fire station alerting system is a piggy back project to the
Police Department’s dispatch center upgrade and radio system upgrade and is essentially
taking the current 1940’s system and transferring it into an upgraded system that
integrates into the Police Department’s radio counsels. Chief Davis stated that the station
alerting is a piece of the process in between a 911 call and what would be the Fire
Department response. He added that the alerting system sounds an alarm and turns on a
light that activates the broadcast speaker so the information broadcast to dispatch goes out
simultaneously to all of the units. Chief Davis said this upgrade was budgeted at $90,000
and the bid came in approximately $8,000 less than what had been budgeted.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.

8.8 ID 16-0925 Approve Purchase of Back-Up and Recovery System from Dell Marketing
Ms. Miller addressed the Council and stated that staff is asking for approval to purchase a
rapid recovery back-up system to replace the current system that is obsolete and does not
meet the City’s needs. She stated that growth in both of the current systems and the shear
amount of data that is being stored has caused concern if all the data can be backed-up.
Ms. Miller stated if it comes to having to restore the system from the current back-up it
could take days or weeks to get everybody and all of the information back on line. She
said in addition to that, staff feels that it is necessary to have an outside area to store this
information similar to the cloud so if anything would happen to City facilities, the data
would be stored elsewhere and staff would be able to restore that information.
Vice Mayor Callahan asked what connects with the cloud, to which Ms. Miller stated it is
Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 10/26/2016
City Council Minutes - Final October 11, 2016

the security in the last six months from the outside world using firewalls.
