5. CALL TO THE PUBLIC
Ms. Susan Stocker, resident, addressed the Council concerning the lack of code
enforcement on vacation rentals. She said she has made numerous complaints regarding
the noise level to the City and Police Department for over two years regarding a vacation
rental located on Cliffrose Drive. She said there are over one hundred unlicensed vacation
rental homes making it difficult for one code enforcement officer to enforce over 611
vacation rentals in Lake Havasu City. Ms. Stocker said residents are frustrated and asked
for help from the Council.
Ms. Bonnie Toy, resident, addressed the Council concerning pedestrians using the
crosswalks in the downtown area intersections with flashing yellow lights. She said
vehicles are not yielding to the pedestrians in the crosswalks making it a safety hazard.
Ms. Toy asked the Council to address this issue.
Ms. Lisa Krueger, President of the Lake Havasu Area Chamber of Commerce, addressed
the Council and introduced new Chamber members.

Mr. Mark Wilkins, resident, addressed the Council and said he moved to Lake Havasu
City approximately one year ago and researched vacation rentals located near his property.
He said the City has a site listing the vacation rentals along with their contact information;
however, with minimal enforcement on these properties and no funds for enforcement,
why have the codes.
