5. CALL TO THE PUBLIC
Mr. Michael Eigenbrodt, President and CEO of Social Services and Interagency Council
of Lake Havasu City (Interagency), addressed the Council and said that he, along with the
three prior CEO’s, have enjoyed a good working relationship with the City Council. He
stated that the funding for Interagency comes primarily through three sources: 1) grants,
2) contracts, and 3) donations, both in-kind and cash. He said their total revenue currently
is just over $3 million, and traditionally the money Interagency receives from the City is
used as a match so they can leverage community money from grants. He said this fiscal
year approximately $117,000 of the City grant money was used as a match for two federal
contracts and one state contract that produced over $546,000 in contracts for Interagency.
Mr. Eigenbrodt said the grant funding received from the City represents about five
percent of their total gross revenue and, over a five year average, they receive double that
in cash donations; therefore, it is important that Interagency has a good reputation and
that the city realizes the things they are doing in the community. Mr. Eigenbrodt
announced that effective immediately Social Services Interagency Council of Lake
Havasu City, in a decision of his own and with the executive board, has decided to
rescind all applications and all grant funding for the next fiscal year. Mr. Eigenbrodt said

8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
8.1 ID 17-1188 Adopt Ordinance No. 17-1178 Amending City Code Chapter 5.12,
Alcoholic Beverage License, To Delegate Approval for Special Event,
Fair/Festival, and Extension of Premise Liquor Licenses to Reduce
Processing Time
City Attorney Kelly Garry advised that this item was introduced at the last meeting and
there were some questions brought up regarding what Mohave County (County) is doing
in regards to the request from the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control.
She said what the City discovered after contacting the County is that internally their staff
received the request and decided to continue processing as they have been doing and it
was never taken formally to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors (Board) for
Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 6/28/2017
City Council Minutes - Final June 13, 2017
consideration. Ms. Garry added that the City was made aware that Bullhead City recently
adopted a process similar to what staff is proposing to the Council.
Ms. Garry said information related to the payment of revenues to the non-profits was sent
to the Council, and noted that because it is not directly related to this item, the Council
can request it as a future agenda item for staff to bring back for further discussion if that is
the desire of the Council. Ms. Garry stated in addition, the Council received some
information regarding the non-refundable versus refundable application fee. She
explained that when drafting the provisions to this ordinance staff recognized a
discrepancy between two of the sections; one that seemed to imply that the application fee
was refundable, and another that did not imply that. She said as the provisions were made
staff corrected it to say refundable, which was not correct. Ms. Garry explained that the
City’s OPP clearly states that it is a non-refundable fee and the City has always processed
these as a non-refundable application fee. She further explained that whether the
application is denied at the staff, City Council, or state level; City staff goes through the
same process to analyze and make recommendation; therefore, it does not make sense
logically to make it a refundable fee. Mr. Garry stated that staff is requesting that the
Council correct that in the motion if the Council agrees that it should be a non-refundable
fee.
Councilmember Lin asked if the County said why they did not formally take it to the
Board, to which Ms. Garry replied that the City did not ask that much detail just whether
it had been formally considered by the Board, which it had not. Ms. Garry reiterated that
the County did say that they had decided internally to keep the process the same.
Councilmember Lin stated that she would like see an amendment for verification of
payment to the non-profits. Ms. Garry advised that the Council can make that request
under future agenda items.
Councilmember Lane said this ordinance is at the request of the State in an effort to
reduce the processing time, to which Ms. Garry said that is correct and added that it
moves the delegation of the approval of authority to the City Manager or designee. She
said applications that are denied can be appealed to the City Council.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing.
Ms. Frankie Lyons, Veterans United Arizona, addressed the Council and said it has been
brought to her attention that there are special event liquor license applications being
signed by non-organizational people and asked that the City monitor this more closely.
There being no further comments, Mayor Nexsen closed the public hearing.

Mayor Nexsen asked if the recent $900,000 grant for Veterans Court was budgeted in the
Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 6/28/2017
City Council Minutes - Final June 13, 2017
court system, to which Ms. Miller explained that it is budgeted under non-specific grants,
which are grants that the City has not specifically identified because we do not know if
we are going to be successful in receiving them. She further explained that the Veterans
Court grant will be moved over to the courts so that it can be tracked, and then next year
and the following year it will be identified in those specific budgets. Mayor Nexsen asked
if removing it will leave enough money in the non-specific grant category, to which Ms.
Miller said yes because the non-specific grant category is typically over budgeted and
staff does not foresee any issues.
Councilmember Sheehy asked if the expansion of services for Havasu Mobility was
included in the budget, to which Ms. Miller replied yes.
Mr. Cassens said as the City looks into converting what was formerly grant services over
to contract services he suggested the Council consider leaving the line item in the budget.
Mr. Cassens said internally staff will be reviewing all of the formally grant funded
services that Lake Havasu City government needs or wants to continue under a contract
of services to bring back to the Council on whether to go out to bid for those services.
Councilmember Sheehy agreed with Mr. Cassens’ recommendation that funding should
stay in the budget.
Councilmember Groat asked if the $1 million in the Ranney Collector Well Project in the
Fiscal Year 2017-18 CIP Budget is to determine whether the City has the appropriate
geological substrate to use the collector well. Ms. Miller said the total budget including
the $60,000 spent in prior years is approximately $5.3 million. Assistant City Engineer
Jeremy Abbott explained that staff is currently working with Arizona State Lands
Department to gain access to identify if the site will work for a Ranney Well, and said if
that location does not work then the City will look at other options for water resources.
Mr. Abbott said the funding identified for the Ranney Well could be used for drilling new
wells or rehabbing existing wells identified through the Water Master Plan update which
is currently under contract.
Councilmember Groat asked when the City would have the results, to which Mr. Abbott
said it depends on whether the City is granted access to the property.
Councilmember Lane said Interagency has done a great job in this community and said
hopefully they can rebuild their reputation and continue to provide services to the people
in Lake Havasu City. He said he would like to see the grant funding set aside for the
request for proposal process to determine essential services through a contract of services.
Councilmember Lin asked how long the City has been doing grant funding, to which
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 6/28/2017
City Council Minutes - Final June 13, 2017
Mayor Nexsen replied at least 10 ½ years. She said she would like to see all of the grant
funding be allocated this year, and added that she would like to see $53,000 go to
Milemarkers to be used to train and recruit staff. Councilmember Lin said Interagency
used prior grant funding to hire a counselor, and she does not see how it would be any
different for Milemarkers. She added that she would like to see the extra money go to the
other organizations.
Mayor Nexsen said it is not extra money; it is taxpayer dollars, to which Councilmember
Lin said it has been taxpayer money for the past 10 years and thought it should continue
this year until next year when the Council decides whether to continue with grant
funding. Mayor Nexsen said for years the City has been trying to wean the non-profits off
taxpayers’ dollars that are allocated by the City. He noted that Interagency received the
amount they did because they could leverage $117,000 into more grant money to benefit
the community. Mayor Nexsen added that the community has asked the Council to stop
making donations with taxpayer money on their behalf and that the City should be
contracting to provide essential services to the community.
Councilmember Lane said he does not think the City should be giving taxpayer dollars to
these agencies, but rather create a contract for essential services where there are checks
and balances.
Councilmember Sheehy clarified that $194,000 is only a placeholder that the Council set
in the budget, and not a number that must be allocated out. He said the Council had the
conversation and added that he thought it would be in poor taste to withdraw the
opportunities that the Council has already said they would support but agreed that the
City needs to get out of the grant funding program.
Ms. Miller stated that the Council supported $2,000 for WACOG, $2,700 for
Milemarkers, $10,000 for HAVEN, and $2,000 for Search and Rescue, for a total of
$16,700 for FY 2017-18.
Mayor Nexsen agreed that it is a placeholder and certainly not excess but should be used
for essential services.
Councilmember McCoy agreed with Mayor Nexsen and thought the community would
prefer that the City move towards funding essential services that will benefit everyone.
Councilmember Sheehy said in addition to this being a placeholder, the City was looking
at other things like outsourcing the trash fees, parks projects, and whether to fund another
plans examiner. He said the placeholder allowed that conversation to happen and now all
the numbers have fallen and the City has been able to meet the goals of the Council and
Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 6/28/2017
City Council Minutes - Final June 13, 2017
the citizens.
Councilmember Lin disagreed and said she has received no emails or calls, nor has she
seen anyone at the podium asking the Council to stop wasting taxpayer money on grant
funding. Mayor Nexsen said the citizens communicate in various ways and the citizens
have been asking him for over 10 ½ years to stop making donations on behalf of the
citizens.
Councilmember Groat said this conversation marks a big difference between government
and private business and is placed around one-tenth of one percent of the budget, yet
there are parks that amount to approximately 12 percent or $20 million of the budget, as
well as the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) that amounts to $51
million in funding, and drinking water that has not been given much time and effort. He
said this process has been painful in our community because it is what has traditionally or
customarily been done in our community for years. Councilmember Groat said what he
has heard from the community is that they would like to see the Norona Effect funded for
the work that they are doing, which he does not disagree, but said this process has
distracted the Council from separating the “nice-to-haves” and the “need-to-haves” and
the core business of this municipality. He asked everyone to consider the message they
are sending if they do not support the Norona Effect.
Councilmember Lin asked for more information regarding the $60,000 for City Manager
PTO Payoff, to which Ms. Miller explained that it is the paid-time off that the city
manager has accrued since working for the City. She said when the city manager ends
employment the City will pay that back to him as pay, and explained that it was added to
the list of changes because they did not foresee the city manager position leaving in the
upcoming fiscal year. Councilmember Lin asked if there is a maximum number of PTO
hours that can be accrued, to which Human Resources/Risk Manager Shirlee Palbicki
replied that the cap is currently set at 420 hours annually at December 31st. She said
throughout the year employees can exceed the annual cap; however, on December 31st it
is capped at 420 hours.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.

explained that the first provision allows for three additional term extensions for five
years, and added that the recommended action tonight will execute that first extension. He
said the second provision allows for an increase to the base rent by 4 percent annually.
Mr. Froslie said the City is collecting $3,041.63 with this new addendum and has verified
the amount is in line with the industry standard on a national level.
Mayor Nexsen asked about the new law on small cell towers, to which Ms. Garry said she
does not believe it is applicable to what the City is doing here. She said some cities are
working on a model ordinance and there are some discrepancies on when that has to be in
place but it must be done by February 2018. She noted that staff will be working on
getting those regulations into the City Code. Mayor Nexsen asked if the new law will
make this contract null and void, to which Ms. Garry replied no and said she believes it
only replaces the small cell towers, which this tower is not.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
