8.1 ID 19-2153 Adopt Resolution No. 19-3350 Appointing a Member to the Public Safety
Personnel Retirement System Local Police and Fire Boards (Kelly
Williams)
Ms. Williams advised that the City received one application requesting consideration for
appointment to the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System Local Police and Fire
Boards. She said the appointment is necessary to fill a vacant member position with a term
expiring on June 30, 2023.
Mr. Nathan Burnell, applicant, addressed the Council and said he has lived in Lake
Havasu City for over 15 years and is currently the Vice President of commercial lending at
Horizon Community Bank. Mr. Burnell said he also served in the United States Marine
Corps as a Staff Sergeant. Mr. Burnell stated that he would like to join the PSPRS Local
Police and Fire Boards to support public safety, which is a vital component to the
community.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Dolan moved to adopt Resolution 19-3350 appointing Nathan
Burnell to the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System Local Police and Fire
Boards with a term to expire on June 30, 2023, seconded by Councilmember
McCoy, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Vice Mayor Lane, Councilmember Groat,
Councilmember Lin, Councilmember McCoy and
Councilmember Dolan
Absent: 1 - Councilmember Coke
8.2 ID 19-2151 Introduce Ordinance No. 19-1224 Amending Lake Havasu City Code
Section 3.20.040, Schedule of Fees and Service Charges and Updating
Costs Recovered (Jill Olsen)
Administrative Services Director Jill Olsen stated that the item before Council is the annual
review of the fees and charges for the City. She explained that the introduction of this
ordinance updates the list of City costs that are recovered and the percentage of the rate in
which they are recovered. She added that this section of the City Code refers to the
Master Fee Schedule, and explained that this year the City applied a 1.9 percent Consumer
Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 10/9/2019
City Council Minutes - Final September 24, 2019
Price Index (CPI) increase based on information from the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Ms. Olsen said City staff reviewed the recommended fees and charges applying
the 1.9 percent to those that are eligible, and noted that fees like water and sewer fees go
through a rate study and are not eligible for the CPI increase. Ms. Olsen added that some
of the fees and charges remained the same based on department recommendations.
Vice Mayor Lane questioned why the recovered average rate for Master Fee Schedule
S-110, Business License Processing, is 106 percent, to which Ms. Olsen explained that
the City determines the cost for the service, which is what each business is charged. She
said business applications received in the middle or quarterly periods are pro-rated;
therefore, it is counted as one full business license for the year but may only have a
pro-rated amount. She said when the City does the math it can appear that we are
recovering more than our costs, when in fact the City is only charging the actual cost, but
the math comes out to 106 percent based upon counting the licenses compared to the cost.
Councilmember Lin proposed that the costs for Master Fee Schedule S-309, Youth
Camps, stay the same.
Mayor Sheehy noted that S-309, Youth Camps, was on Page 74 of the Master Fee
Schedule.
Mayor Sheehy asked how the base fees on the proposed Facility Use Fee schedule are
determined, to which Ms. Olsen said the base fee is the amount that the Council adopted
last year. Mayor Sheehy asked if the City has performed any comparisons of similar
facilities or other communities to see if the fees are fair, to which Ms. Olsen said it was
done last year when the City performed a more thorough process than just applying the
CPI increase.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember McCoy moved to introduce Ordinance No. 19-1224 amending Lake
Havasu City Code Section 3.20.040 and updating costs recovered.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
There was direction from the Council for City staff to look into a process beginning next
year that is more long term, versus yearly, so that citizens do not have an adjustment
every year.
Councilmember Groat moved to introduce Ordinance No. 19-1224 amending Lake
Havasu City Code Section 3.20.040 and updating costs recovered, with S-309, Youth

8.3 ID 19-2130 Adopt Ordinance No. 19-1221 Amending City Code Section 10.12.170,
Commercial Vehicles on Residential Streets, Regarding Public Service and
Public Safety Emergency Vehicles (Kelly Garry)
City Attorney Kelly Garry advised that this ordinance was introduced at the last council
meeting to come into compliance with a State law that prohibits the City from restricting
certain motor vehicles from being parked on a street specifically public service and public
safety vehicles of a certain size. Ms. Garry said staff recommends adoption of this
ordinance.
Mayor Sheehy stated that this ordinance allows public safety vehicles, which are
considered commercial vehicles, to be parked at a residence.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Groat moved to adopt Ordinance No. 19-1221 amending City Code
Section 10.12.170, Commercial Vehicles on Residential Streets, seconded by Vice
Mayor Lane, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Vice Mayor Lane, Councilmember Groat,

8.4 ID 19-2129 Adopt Ordinance No. 19-1222 Approving a Planned Development
Rezoning of Tract 123, Block 8, Lot 1 and Tract 125 Parcel “H” from R-1
(Single-Family Residential District) to R-1/PD (Single Family Planned
Development District) and General Development Plan for the Hilltop
Church Expansion Including a Height Exception from the Maximum
Building Height of 15-feet to Construct a New Church Facility 30-feet in
Height from the Established Maximum Grade of 115.5 Elevation (Stuart
Schmeling)
City Planner Luke Morris addressed the Council and said the subject property is Hilltop
Church located on McCulloch Boulevard North, between Bermuda Avenue and Daytona
Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 10/9/2019
City Council Minutes - Final September 24, 2019
Avenue, and is approximately six acres. He said the main building was built in 1967 with a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) that was approved in 1999 for a learning center with a
playground area. He stated that this request is for a new facility as indicated on the map as
building “A.” Mr. Morris said building “A” is part of a 2-year plan with a 15-year plan for
three future buildings as indicated on the map as buildings “B,” “C,” and “D.” He said the
property is zoned R-1 (Single-Family Residential District) which allows a church with a
maximum building height of 15-feet; however, the applicant is requesting a Planned
Development (PD) amendment to exceed the 15-feet height maximum. He explained that
the maximum height is determined from the base elevation, or zero starting point. He said
the base elevation for the property was determined to be 115.5 feet and further explained
how the base elevation, building height, and proposed building heights were determined.
He said the proposed building height is approximately 45 feet above the pad or street
elevation. He reviewed the topography and elevation levels of the existing church building,
proposed building, and future buildings. Mr. Morris said staff and the Planning and Zoning
Commission (Commission) recommend approval of the 30-foot height exception for
building “A;” with buildings “B,” “C,” and “D,” to be held at 15-feet in height based on
their pad height or base elevation levels.
Vice Mayor Lane asked if the proposed 30-foot building height includes the top of the
steeple, to which Mr. Morris said the proposed 30-foot height is for the building only. He
said there is an exception in the Development Code that allows the applicant to go heigher
for a steeple.
Mr. Rick Boucher, with ARBEE Design, addressed the Council and said he represents
Hilltop Church. He said they are requesting a 30-foot height exception to blend in with
other churches in the community. He said buildings “B,” “C,” and “D” are future plans
and building “A” is their initial idea of what they would like to do in the next two to three
years depending on funding.
Vice Mayor Lane asked if the applicant has spoken with any of the homeowners on Aztec
Drive about the plans and height exception, to which Mr. Boucher said they held a public
meeting and two neighbors attended, neither of which live on Aztec Drive. Mr. Boucher
added that the same two neighbors attended the meeting and did not have any concerns
with the height exception. Vice Mayor Lane asked if they received any concerns, to
which Mr. Boucher said the only concern was regarding traffic flow.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing.
Mr. Ron Austin, resident, addressed the Council and said he lives across the street from
Hilltop Church and attended the Commission meeting on August 7, 2019. Mr. Austin said
he is concerned about the proposed height exceptions for buildings “B” and “C” as there
Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 10/9/2019
City Council Minutes - Final September 24, 2019
was some discussion about the building height being 30 to possibly 60-feet, and is also
concerned about the future traffic pattern exiting the property. Mr. Austin was curious if
the the property would be rezoned to a school or college in the future.
Mr. Morris reviewed the allowed uses in an R-1. He said if the property were to be
rezoned it would have to go through a design review process and comply with City Codes.
Mayor Sheehy said to address Mr. Austin’s question about 60-feet, the height exception is
30-feet for building “A,” and 15-feet for the future buildings. He said the applicant has not
addressed any concerns about the proposed height exceptions and recommendations from
staff and the Commission.
Mr. Boucher added that if they were to move forward in 15-years, the proposal is for
buildings “C” and “D" to be a new church building and convention hall, and building “A”
and the existing church would be converted into a parking lot with two exits.
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Groat moved to adopt Ordinance No. 19-1222 approving the rezone
of Tract 123, Block 8, Lot 1 and Tract 125 Parcel “H” from R-1 to R-1/PD and a
General Development Plan for the Hilltop Church expansion including a height
exception from the maximum building height of 15-feet to construct a new church
facility 30-feet in height from the established maximum grade of 115.5 elevation with
the following conditions:
1. Building A shall be no taller than 30 feet
from the maximum grade established for the property.
2. Future buildings B, C, and D shall be no
taller than 15 feet from their proposed pad elevations

8.5 ID 19-2131 Adopt Ordinance No. 19-1223 Rezoning a 1,736 Square Foot Portion of
Golf Course Parcel 1, Added to Tract 134, Block 6, Lot 7, as Shown On
Parcel Plat 37-10, From Golf Course (GC) District to Residential Estates
(R-E) District (Stuart Schmeling)
Mr. Morris advised that the subject property is located on Hagen Way, west section of the
golf course, near the intersection of Mangrum Drive and Hagen Drive. Mr. Morris said the
golf course is zoned Golf Course (GC) District with the surrounding properties zoned
Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 10/9/2019
City Council Minutes - Final September 24, 2019
Residential Estates (R-E) District. He explained that prior to the adoption of the
Development Code in 2016, the golf course was zoned R-E District, and under new
ownership the golf course revamped their fairways and layout resulting in unused portions
being sold to many of the adjacent property owners. He said there have been
approximately ten sales where the golf course has adjusted lot lines taking a portion of the
golf course and adding it to a residential lot. Mr. Morris said this does not change the
zoning of the golf course and the property owner is not required to request a rezone;
however, the Zoning Administrator has determined that if the property owner plans to
develop the GC property with new buildings or structures, it would be appropriate for the
properties to have the same zoning of R-E. Mr. Morris said in this case the applicant is
requesting the 1,736 square foot portion of the golf course be rezoned from GC to R-E.
Mayor Sheehy asked about the setbacks, to which Mr. Morris explained that if the
property is rezoned to R-E the setbacks from the main structure would be 20-feet from
the front to the house and 25-feet from the front to the garage, 10-feet from the sides, and
20-feet from the rear. Mr. Morris said detached accessory structures are allowed to
encroach into the rear and side setbacks in all zoning districts; however, if the structure is
built in the rear 20-feet it would be limited to 15-feet in height.
Mr. Morris noted that staff has reviewed several of these properties for lot line
adjustments; however, this is the first to request a rezone.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Dolan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 19-1223 rezoning the
1,736-Square Foot Portion of Golf Course Parcel 1, that was added to Tract 134,
Block 6, Lot 7, as shown on Parcel Plat 37-10, from Golf Course District to

8.6 ID 19-2154 Approve Addendum 5, Task Order to Professional Services Agreement
with C&S Engineers, Inc., for Design Services for the Airport Taxiway A
and Connectors Reconstruction Project (Jeffrey Herb)
Project Manager Jeffrey Herb addressed the Council and said the Lake Havasu Municipal
Airport is located in the northern part of town adjacent to Highway 95. Mr. Herb
displayed an aerial photograph of the runway, taxiway, and six connectors. He noted that
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 10/9/2019
City Council Minutes - Final September 24, 2019
the taxiway and runway is a total of 8,000 feet in length, or two miles, and was originally

City Council Minutes - Final September 24, 2019
Ms. Nancy Campbell, resident, addressed the Council and asked if the City and taxpayers
are responsible for the asphalt maintenance, to which Mr. Herb replied yes. Ms. Campbell
asked if the Council has looked at the cost differential between concrete and asphalt, to
which Mr. Herb said the City has not, but could look into it. Ms. Campbell noted that
there is an enormous difference between asphalt and concrete maintenance.
Mayor Sheehy noted that there are some specific requirements with FAA grants that do
not allow as much flexibility, but noted that the City would look into it.
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Groat moved to approve Addendum 5, Task Order to the
Professional Services Agreement with C&S Engineers, Inc., for design services for

8.7 ID 19-2147 Approve Amendment One to Cooperative Purchase Agreement with
Superior Supply Inc. for Road and Highway Materials, Asphalt Crack
Sealant(s) (Kenneth R. Porosky)
Transportation and Maintenance Superintendent Kenneth Porosky advised that the item
before Council is the annual cooperative purchase agreement with Superior Supply Inc. for
crack sealant. He said the City anticipates crackfilling approximately 220 lane miles this
year, which is approximately 50 percent more than last year.
Mayor Sheehy clarified that this is for the purchase of the material and the City contracts
with a company to perform the crack seal to the roadways, to which Mr. Porosky replied
yes.
Vice Mayor Lane said the cost has declined over the last few years, to which Mr. Porosky
noted that the decline is due to the City crack sealing fewer miles.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember McCoy moved to approve Amendment One to the Cooperative
Purchase Agreement with Superior Supply Inc. for an estimated annual expenditure
not to exceed $200,000 and authorize City staff to exercise the three additional
one-year term renewal options, seconded by Vice Mayor Lane and carried by the

8.8 ID 19-2148 Approve Cooperative Purchase Agreement and Purchase of Seven (7)
Various Vehicles for Police, Fire, and Streets with San Tan Auto Partners,
L.L.C., dba San Tan Ford (Kenneth R. Porosky)
Mr. Porosky advised that the item before Council is the annual cooperative purchase
agreement to purchase five Police patrol vehicles, one Fire Battalion Command vehicle,
and one Streets pickup truck utilizing Highway User Revenue Funds. He reviewed the
City’s Vehicle Replacement Program process and point system for replacement. He noted
that the point system is based on a vehicle’s condition, mileage, and repair, and added that
the seven vehicles being replaced scored 35 points or higher and are 13 to 14 years old.
Councilmember Dolan said for clarification the reason for two separate vehicle purchases
on the agenda is that they are different dealers, to which Mr. Porosky replied yes.
Mayor Sheehy explained that the point system is a sophisticated program that rates each of
the City’s assets and assesses a point value. He said when the point value is above the 32
range it is in the best interest of the taxpayers to replace that item to recover some of the
costs. Mayor Sheehy noted that as a way to save money during lean budget years the
Council increased the point system. He said many of these vehicles are now 35 points or
higher.
Councilmember Groat added that it is necessary to replace the vehicles for the safety of
the employees and risk management and added that the City has kept the asset
replacement within the approved schedule.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Dolan moved to approve the Cooperative Purchase Agreement and
the purchase of seven (7) Utility & Pickup Trucks with San Tan Auto Partners,
L.L.C., dba San Tan Ford in the amount of $374,189.36 and to authorize City staff
to exercise the option to renew the Cooperative Purchase Agreement in accordance
with the Arizona State Contract for two additional twelve-month terms through
March 31, 2022, seconded by Councilmember McCoy, and carried by the following

Department 2020 Chevrolet Silverado C2500HD 4WD Crew Cab SB as
Equipped from Midway Chevrolet (Kenneth R. Porosky)
Mr. Porosky said this item is the annual cooperative purchase agreement with Midway
Chevrolet to purchase two Fire Battalion Command vehicles. He explained that by keeping
the Chevrolet vehicles, the City is able to utilize some of the equipment from the existing
vehicles.
Councilmember McCoy asked if the City received the same deal from Chevrolet as Ford,
to which Mr. Porosky replied yes and said it was all off the State bid.
Councilmember Dolan noted that the City is not just buying the vehicles but the equipment
that comes with the vehicles, to which Mr. Porosky replied that was correct and added
that the City is able to save money by using some of the existing equipment.
Vice Mayor Lane noted that these items were previously approved by Council during the
budget process.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Groat moved to approve the cooperative purchase of two (2)
Pickup Trucks with Midway Chevrolet in the amount of $132,164, approve and
