He said a majority of respondents were not in favor of raising taxes (10 percent); however, 68 percent said they would need more information to provide an accurate opinion. A majority of respondents (61 percent) thought code enforcement should be more proactive, and 67 percent of respondents wanted to see a second bridge built spanning the Bridgewater Channel. He said in conclusion, the respondents said Lake Havasu City is a desirable and safe place to live, services provided by Lake Havasu City are positive and on par with comparison communities, and Lake Havasu City has great parks and natural spaces. Mayor Sheehy thanked Mr. Kozlowski for coordinating the survey as it provides a baseline for the City moving forward. He said the results are not surprising as the citizens of Lake Havasu City have a true pioneering spirit, sense of community, and collectively want to make our city a better place. 8.3 ID 21-2905 Adopt Resolution No. 21-3522 Affirming Support to be Awarded a Grant With the Office of Senator Kelly for FY 22 Congressionally Directed Spending for the Lake Havasu City Police Station and Jail Refurbishment (J. Greg Froslie) Public Works Director Greg Froslie said at a previous meeting the City Council approved the authorization and submittal of a $4 million grant application to Senator Kelly’s Office for repairs to the Lake Havasu City Police Station and Jail. Mr. Froslie explained that following the submittal the City received a request from Senator Kelly’s Office for additional information and letters of support from Council affirming support of the grant application. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing and added that no written public comments were received. Vice Mayor Coke moved to adopt Resolution No. 21-3522 affirming support to be awarded a grant with the Office of Senator Kelly for FY 22 Congressionally Directed Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 8/13/2021 City Council Minutes - Final July 27, 2021 Spending for the Lake Havasu City Police Station and Jail Refurbishment Project, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Vice Mayor Coke, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Lin and Councilmember Moses 8.4 ID 21-2883 Adopt Ordinance No. 21-1259 Amending the Zoning Classification and District Boundary for 2455, 2457, & 2459 Anita Avenue, Tract 2242, Block 1, Lots 13, 14, & 15, from Limited Commercial District (C-1) to Single-Family Residential District (R-1) (Luke Morris) Planning Division Manager Luke Morris said this item is amending a zoning classification for three vacant and undeveloped lots located on the corner of Avalon Avenue and Anita Avenue. He said if approved the lots would need to be reconfigured to meet the minimum requirements for the Single-Family Residential District (R-1) zoning district prior to any building permits issued for the property. Mr. Morris said the current zoning is Limited Commercial (C-1) and reviewed the surrounding zoning and General Plan designation. He explained that when the city was originally platted, there were a number of areas scattered throughout the city designated as commercial in residential neighborhoods that were reclassified in 2016 from commercial node to residential. He added that this item was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission with a recommendation of approval 3-2. Councilmember Dolan said he was in favor of rezoning these commercial nodes to allow for better zoning use. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. John Parrott, citizen, addressed the Council in favor of the rezone. He said as a local realtor, he must disclose that he has no interest in this transaction. He said over the years of selling commercial real estate he has never been approached by anyone interested in purchasing commercial nodal property. It is an old 1960's zoning technique that Robert McCulloch incorporated and while the commercial node at Jamaica Boulevard and McCulloch Boulevard has been successful and personally thinks the commercial node at Jamaica Boulevard and Chemehuevi Boulevard should remain commercial, the commercial node at Anita Avenue and Avalon Avenue is never going to attract commercial activity. Councilmember Campbell asked what Mr. Parrott’s recommendation would be for the existing commercial business in this commercial node, to which Mr. Parrott said it is unfortunate; however, the public had the opportunity to vote with the adoption of the 2016 General Plan which reclassified this area as residential. Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 8/13/2021 City Council Minutes - Final July 27, 2021 Mayor Sheehy said the adoption of the General Plan is an 18-month process with stakeholder engagement, several public hearings, and vote. He said the General Plan supports this rezone and the Council needs to look at these rezone requests on the merits of each individual use. Councilmember Moses asked if the City has received any objections from the existing commercial business. Councilmember Campbell said the owner, who has contacted her several times and also attended the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, is against the rezone. Councilmember Lane said over the last 50 years only one of the 10 properties has developed. He said this rezone affects the three most eastern pieces that are closet to the surrounding R-2 properties and leaves the six remaining pieces zoned as commercial. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing and added that no written public comments were received. Councilmember Moses agreed with Councilmember Lane and said he believes the City can still maintain the integrity of the neighborhood however the hard decisions will come down the road when the market dictates the remaining six lots. Councilmember Moses moved to approve Ordinance No. 21-1259 amending the zoning classification and district boundary for 2455, 2457, & 2459 Anita Avenue, Tract 2242, Block 1, Lots 13, 14, & 15, from Limited Commercial District (C-1) to Single-Family Residential (R-1) with the following condition: 1. The lots shall be combined or reconfigured to meet the R-1 standards prior to application for a building permit. Motion seconded by Councilmember Lane, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Vice Mayor Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Lin and Councilmember Moses Nay: 1 - Councilmember Campbell 8.5 ID 21-2886 Adopt Ordinance No. 21-1260 Amending the Zoning Classification and District Boundary for 2571 Via Palma, Tract 2271, Block 1, Lot 7 and a Portion of Golf Course Parcel 1-D, APN 105-14-036, from Limited Multiple-Family District (R-3) and Golf Course District (GC) to Residential Estate District (R-E) (Luke Morris) Mr. Morris said the subject property is located on Via Palma just off Acoma Boulevard South. He said the applicant owns Lot #7 (2571 Via Palma) and is in the process of purchasing a portion of the golf course adjacent to Lot #7 to combine the two properties Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 8/13/2021 City Council Minutes - Final July 27, 2021 and build a single-family home. Mr. Morris explained the history of the golf course and reviewed the surrounding zoning. He said the applicant is requesting to rezone the properties from Limited Multiple-Family District (R-3) and Golf-Course (GC) to Residential Estate District (R-E). He reviewed the proposed parcel plat map and noted that the parcel currently zoned GC does not meet the minimum standards for an R-E zone; therefore, the two lots would have to be combined or reconfigured to meet the underlining R-E zoning if approved. Mr. Morris added that this item was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission with a recommendation of approval 5-1. Councilmember Campbell asked if this action is to rezone one or both properties, to which Mr. Morris said the request is for both properties to be rezoned to R-E. Mayor Sheehy said there is approximately 55-feet between the adjoining property and proposed lot; therefore, if approved, an additional item would come before the Council at the next meeting for an easement to help protect any view corridors for neighbors impacted in this area. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. Wisdom asked about the zoning of the 55-feet between properties, to which Mayor Sheehy replied that it is zoned GC to create a cart path, easement for water service, and view corridor to protect those in the area. Mr. Wisdom asked about the current tee box, to which Mayor Sheehy spoke on the proposed location of the tee box. Mr. Diaz spoke on the view corridor and concerns regarding the narrowing of the fairways as the golf course continues to sell portions of their property. Mr. Wisdom asked about the elevation changes of the tee box, to which Mr. Morris said from his understanding, the golf course intends to relocate the tee box and shorten that hole from a Par 5 to a Par 4. City Clerk Kelly Williams said one written public comment was received and read the comment into the record as follows: “Our name are Christy and John Burlison. We reside at 674 Acoma Blvd. S, and our lot borders the 18th fairway on the East Course of the Lake Havasu City Golf Club. We are writing this letter in support of the zoning change regarding the property Tract 2271, Block 1, Lot 7 and a portion of golf course parcel I-D, APN 105-14-036 at 2571 Via Palma from R-3 and golf course to a residential estate district. This property is owned by DRs’ Theron and Summer Tilgner. They have been our neighbors since 2006 up until they sold their home at 2561 Via Palma. WE do not have a problem with the zoning change that is Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 8/13/2021 City Council Minutes - Final July 27, 2021 needed for them to build a new home at 2571 Via Palma. They were always respectful of their neighbors, and they kept their property neat and well-manicured. WE feel their new home will be an asset to the neighborhood. (Submitted by) Christy & John Burlison.” Councilmember Moses asked about the elevation changes between the properties and asked if combining the lots will create any issues with building height, to which Mr. Morris said typically when lots are combined, one of the conditions of the lot combination is that before any construction can be done they are required to submit a grading plan that will determine the building height. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Campbell asked what happens to the zoning if the golf course property is not purchased by the applicant, which Mr. Morris explained that the golf course property through the parcel plat map, once approved and recorded, is owned by the owner of Lot #7 to be combined and developed as one piece of property. He said if the lots were not combined, they would have to be reconfigured to meet the minimum lot size for the R-E. Councilmember Moses moved to adopt Ordinance No. 21-1260 amending the zoning classification and district boundary for 2571 Via Palma, Tract 2271, Block 1, Lot 7 and a portion of Golf Course Parcel 1-D, APN 105-14-036, from Limited Multiple-Family District (R-3) and Golf Course District (GC) to Residential Estate District (R-E) with the following condition: 1. The properties shall be combined prior to application for a building permit. Motion seconded by Councilmember Lin, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 5 - Mayor Sheehy, Vice Mayor Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Lin and Councilmember Moses Nay: 2 - Councilmember Campbell and Councilmember Lane 8.6 ID 21-2906 Approve Amendment No. 1 to S.A.R.A.

Park to add a walking archery course. He stated that that the item was heard by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with a recommendation of approval. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing.

Park Sublease Agreement with Lake Havasu Sportsman Club, Inc., and authorize the Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 8/13/2021 City Council Minutes - Final July 27, 2021 City Manager to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City, seconded by Councilmember Campbell, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Vice Mayor Coke, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Lin and Councilmember Moses 8.7 ID 21-2900 Award the Engineering Master Professional Services Agreement for Wastewater System Improvements to Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. ( Dan Sloan) Assistant City Engineer Dan Sloan advised that this item is to award an agreement to Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., for planning, design and construction improvements to the wastewater system. He said the City went through a Request for Qualification (RFQ) process to solicit consultants for an Engineering Master Professional Services Agreement. He said four firms responded to the RFQ and Jacobs Engineering was the highest-ranking firm. Mr. Sloan reviewed several of the projects for design and construction under the services agreement including the Park Avenue Lift Station Expansion, Island Treatment Plant Effluent Pond, Mulberry Treatment Plant Odor Control, and the Vadose Injection Well #4. Mr. Sloan said each project would be an individual task order to the Master Professional Services Agreement; therefore, this item is not awarding any individual project, only the term consultant contract. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing and added that no written public comments were received. Councilmember Lane moved to award the Engineering Master Professional Services Agreement for Wastewater System Improvements to Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Vice Mayor Coke, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Lin and Councilmember Moses 8.8 ID 21-2903 Award the Engineering Master Professional Services Agreement for Water System Improvements to Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.

Mr. Sloan reviewed several of the water system improvement projects including the Horizontal Collector Well Rehabilitation, S-1C-24 Tank Replacement, and various water tank and booster station improvements. Mr. Sloan added that each project would be an individual task order to the Master Professional Services Agreement.
