Ms. Bonnie Toy, citizen, addressed the council and spoke concerning the lack of
information on the City’s website requesting assistance from the community in locating an
individual who committed a crime. She said after watching a Planning & Zoning

members do not have the same vision for the city as the citizens of Lake Havasu City and
suggested the council create a new revitalization committee called “Vision 20/22” to
Lake Havasu City Page 1 Printed on 4/13/2022

generate a new vision and plan.

City on May 1-3, 2022, with all proceeds benefitting the Boys and Girls Club of America.

City Council Minutes - Final March 22, 2022
6.3 ID 22-3226 Approve Agreement for Annual Services for the London Bridge Lighting Maintenance to
Roth Lighting (Greg Froslie)
City Manager Jess Knudson said this item is a service agreement with an annual cost of
$9,780 per year to ensure the system is working properly and to introduce new color
formats throughout the year. He added that the agreement contains an indemnification
clause which requires City Council approval.
Councilmember Lin asked if city staff had the tools to perform maintenance on the lighting
if the agreement was not approved, to which Mr. Knudson said the lighting was recently
installed; however, technical assistance is required in terms of the software and how the
system is utilized. He added that should anything else come up, the city would not have
any out-of-pocket expenses outside the maintenance agreement.
Councilmember Moses asked if this is an annual or one-time expense, to which Mr.
Knudson said the agreement is for three years at an annual cost of $9,780.
Mayor Sheehy stated that this is a maintenance service contract, not a software licensing
agreement.
Councilmember Campbell asked if the city was aware of these maintenance service costs
prior to installing the lighting system and if the city has anyone on staff that can perform
system maintenance, to which Mr. Knudson said city staff does not have the expertise to
address the technical issues associated; however, over the next few years city staff will
have more knowledge and hands-on experience to address any issues. He said the city was
aware of the maintenance service costs with discussions taking place in December 2021;
however, they were delayed due to changes in staffing.
Vice Mayor Dolan added that the maintenance service agreement is going to assist with
lighting color changes, themes/shows, and scheduling that requires additional knowledge of
the software.
Councilmember Campbell wondered whether Go Lake Havasu could be involved with the
lighting changes, themes/shows, and scheduling since they oversee events, to which Mr.
Knudson said the city welcomes the assistance of organizations with expertise in this area;
however, this programming is proprietary.
Councilmember Lin asked about the warranty and lifespan of the system, to which Mr.
Knudson said the lifespan of the LED lights is several decades and the warranty is several
years.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing.
Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 4/13/2022
City Council Minutes - Final March 22, 2022
Ms. Toy asked if this project went out to bid or if only one company can perform
maintenance on the system, to which Mayor Sheehy said the technical support will be
provided by the same company where the lighting system was purchased.
Ms. Frankie Lyons, citizen, addressed the council and asked why the software was not
included in the original purchase of the lighting system. She wondered if the lighting
changes and themes are necessary as there are other events and lights that could
compensate for that and felt it was unfair and unjust for the City Council to have to decide
on something that should have been presented at the time of purchase.
Mr. Murray asked if the maintenance agreement includes the annual software updates, to
which Mr. Knudson said it includes updates to the software, hardware, maintenance, and
lighting changes.
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Lane moved to approve the multi-year General Services Agreement
for the London Bridge Lighting Maintenance to Roth Lighting, seconded by Vice
Mayor Dolan, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 5 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Moses,
Councilmember Coke and Vice Mayor Dolan
Nay: 2 - Councilmember Campbell and Councilmember Lin

Student Educational Experience with Mohave Community College ( Chief Pilafas)
Fire Chief Peter Pilafas advised that before the council is an agreement with Mohave
Community College (MCC) and their EMS Program. He said MCC and the Lake Havasu
City Fire Department will partner to provide clinical practicum and/or educational
experiences for students enrolled in the Paramedic/Emergency Medical Technician
Program. He added that the agreement is for two years in which the Fire Department will
provide their paramedics with preceptorship (mentorship) training with oversight between
the Lake Havasu City Fire Department and MCC to give students the experience and field
experience needed to receive their paramedic and EMT certifications.
Chief Pilafas introduced Ms. Kristina Long, Director of EMS and Health Services, and Dr.

8.2 ID 22-3214 Adopt Resolution No. 22-3563 Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute
Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 4/13/2022
City Council Minutes - Final March 22, 2022
the Memorandum of Understanding with the Bureau of Land Management (Mike Keane)
Parks & Recreation Director Mike Keane spoke on the SARA Park and Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) trail system and the need for additional trail signage. He said this item
is requesting approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with BLM that allows the city
to work with BLM regarding signing designated trails leading from the SARA Park
trailhead and route inventory of trails not yet designated.
Councilmember Lin asked for an estimated cost of the signs, to which Mr. Keane said
BLM currently has an inventory of signs available; however, the city would have the
ability to purchase additional signs from BLM if needed. Mr. Keane added that the city
would be required to follow BLM’s strict trail sign guidelines.
Mayor Sheehy said the city does not anticipate a high cost for additional trail signs.
Councilmember Campbell asked if members of the community could assist the city in this
effort, to which Mr. Keane said volunteers would be assisting with route inventory of trails
and anyone interested in volunteering could contact the Parks and Recreation Department.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Lane moved to adopt Resolution No. 22-3563 approving and
authorizing the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding with
the Bureau of Land Management, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried
by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember
Lane, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses,
Councilmember Coke and Vice Mayor Dolan
8.3 ID 22-3216 Approve a Development Agreement for The Havasu Life South, Tract 2406, with SSD
Clarke Development Kearsage, LLC, Regarding the Public Improvements and Gated
Entry for the Development (Jeff Thuneman)
Development Services Director Jeff Thuneman advised that the item before the council is
approval of a development agreement for Havasu Life South located at the corner of
Kearsage Drive and Arapaho Drive. He said the property is approximately 2.5 acres and
consists of 32 residential lots with private streets and a gated entry. Mr. Thuneman said
because the subdivision will be served by private streets rather than public right-of-way,
the developer must enter into a development agreement to address responsibilities
associated with the installment and maintenance of public water and wastewater
infrastructure for the development. He added that the agreement includes the developer’s
responsibilities to install water and wastewater infrastructure to city standards and then
Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 4/13/2022
City Council Minutes - Final March 22, 2022
dedicate those utilities back to the city. Mr. Thuneman stated that the agreement also
outlines the responsibilities for future repairs, the dedication of the utility easements within
private streets, and gated entry requirements. He added that approval of this agreement
will allow the final plat to be executed.
Councilmember Lin said the development is close to two schools and asked where the gate
to the subdivision would be located, to which Mr. Thuneman said there will be two gates
that are approximately 20 to 25 feet off the right-of-way along Arapaho Drive.
Councilmember Lin expressed concern regarding the large volume of traffic and proximity
of the gates to the schools. She suggested the city install a “school crossing” sign at the
gated entryways.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Vice Mayor Dolan moved to approve the Development Agreement for The Havasu
Life South, Tract 2406, with SSD Clarke Development Kearsage, LLC, seconded by
Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember
Lane, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses,
Councilmember Coke and Vice Mayor Dolan
8.4 ID 22-3224 Update on the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal
Recovery Fund (SLFRF) Distributions to Lake Havasu City with Potential Direction
Provided to Staff (Jill Olsen)
Administrative Services Director Jill Olsen provided an update on the American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPA) Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF)
distributions to Lake Havasu City. She said when ARPA was originally adopted, it came
with a loose set of guidelines called the interim final rule that were challenging for many
local entities; however, the final rule was adopted in January 2022 and goes into effect on
April 1, 2022. Ms. Olsen explained that Lake Havasu City received the first round of
funding in September 2021 and will receive the second round of funding in September
2022. She said the key objectives of this funding was to deliver $350 billion for state, local
territorial, and tribal governments to respond to the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
emergency and lead a strong, resilient, and equitable recovery.
Ms. Olsen reviewed the total funding and key eligible categories for Lake Havasu City as
follows:
• Lake Havasu City Total Funding: $8,528,306
o Evenly distributed over two years
o Recommended for one-time expenditures (not recurring)

• Technical or in-kind assistance or other services to mitigate negative economic
impact
Ms. Olsen said other categories not specific to what our uses might be were COVID-19
mitigation, medical expenses, and behavioral healthcare.
Ms. Olsen reviewed the public sector revenue loss as follows:
• Public Sector Revenue Loss
o Elect standard allowance of up to $10 million
Spend on Government Services
• May spend on Government Services up to standard allowance or total distribution
(whichever is lower)
o Government Services generally include any service traditionally provided by a
government unless the United States Treasury has stated otherwise, such as:
Building of infrastructure, including roads
Modernization of cybersecurity
Provision of Police, Fire and other public safety services
Ms. Olsen noted that the funds have to be incurred or obligated by December 31, 2024,
and have to be spent by December 31, 2026.

City Council Minutes - Final March 22, 2022
Mr. Knudson thanked Ms. Olsen for reviewing the use and regulations of the ARPA funds
and said staff is looking for consensus and direction from the City Council on how these
funds should be spent.
Mayor Sheehy said this item is before the City Council at the request of Councilmember
Lin. He said the council has held fragmented conversations about the use of the ARPA
funds including discussion at the October 26, 2021, council meeting regarding water and
sewer rates, discussion at the February 2022 planning session on road improvements
within the community, discussion regarding quality of life and park developments, and
discussion on social service agencies within the community and the services they provide
to the citizens. He said approximately $8.5 million will be allocated to Lake Havasu City
over a two-year period with a requirement that the funds be used by December 31, 2026.
He presented the City Council with a handout as a start to the conversation that proposed
utilizing $3.5 million on water and wastewater projects, $2.5 million on pavement
preservation, $1.5 million on parks and recreation, $500,000 on public safety, and
$500,000 on social service agencies.
Mayor Sheehy said there have been discussions concerning the social service perspective
within the community and how the City Council can address the needs of social service
agencies to mitigate negative economic impact or financial hardship. He said the City
Council could give direction to staff to move forward with creating a mechanism for social
service agencies to apply for those areas, including food, housing, medical services, agency
services, childcare, senior adult care, senior services, and other social service needs. He
said the city could then create a citizen board appointed by the City Council using the
same process as the other boards/committees/commissions with five regular members and
two alternates that would make recommendations to the council. He added that it would
be a specific community resource board to discuss the application process, review
applications, and make final recommendations to the City Council who would then award
dollars to the different social service agencies.
Councilmember Lin said she would like to hear from the social service agencies in
attendance before making any decisions. She questioned the amounts proposed for parks
and recreation and pavement preservation and how those areas tie into being negatively
affected by COVID-19.
Mayor Sheehy said those amounts would fall into the personal exemption of $10 million
that allows the city flexibility with infrastructure. He spoke on the initial Community Block
Development (CBD) process the city was required to go through for funding prior to the
rules changing.
Councilmember Lin said when the City Council decides to use the ARPA funding, she
Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 4/13/2022
City Council Minutes - Final March 22, 2022
would like to ensure that they are held accountable later and do not have to pay it back.
She spoke on the negative impact COVID-19 had on the housing market, workforce, and
social services in Lake Havasu City and expressed her desire to designate the ARPA funds
towards helping people in the community.
Councilmember Campbell questioned if utility rates are considered a tax, to which Mayor
Sheehy said utility rates are a user fee in the Enterprise Fund, not a tax.
Councilmember Campbell spoke on the reduction of the water and sewer rates and
questioned if the proposed $3.5 million would go towards the rate shortfall, to which
Mayor Sheehy said approximately $2 million of the proposed $3.5 million would go
towards the water and sewer rate adjustments based on direction at their October 26,
2021, meeting. Councilmember Campbell questioned the level of funding being proposed
stating that the city’s sewer revenues have increased approximately $1.6 to $1.8 million in
the last seven months after the rate reduction.
There was discussion regarding water and sewer rate reductions on October 26, 2021.
Mayor Sheehy noted that specific water and wastewater projects will be tied to each area
of funding.
Councilmember Campbell questioned the use of ARPA funds towards infrastructure
projects and expressed her desire to designate more funding towards social service
agencies and one-time issues such as the housing and security crisis in Lake Havasu City.
She was in favor of creating a community resource coalition.
Councilmember Lin asked if Ms. Olsen could provide more information on the public
mental health sector guidelines, to which Ms. Olsen said those guidelines allude to areas
where people experienced decrease in revenue, financial insecurity, and increased costs
associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. She added that staff could go back and find
more detailed information within the supplementary or final rule section.
Vice Mayor Dolan expressed his concern regarding the amount proposed for water and
wastewater projects, but agreed with funding towards pavement preservation, public
safety, and social service agencies. He said he would like to see more information on the
parks and recreation projects, additional funding for public safety, and $500,000 for social
service agencies each year for two years.
Councilmember Campbell agreed with Vice Mayor Dolan’s comments related to the parks
and recreation projects. She said she did not want to see ARPA funding being used for
new parks or Downtown Catalyst projects.
Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 4/13/2022
City Council Minutes - Final March 22, 2022
Councilmember Moses spoke on the water and sewer rate adjustments and said he would
like to wait until the end of the year to see whether there are any shortfalls in utility rate
collections to fully commit to using ARPA funding for water and wastewater. He
expressed concerns with funding parks and recreation projects but said he could support
funding after-school programs and youth camps, pavement preservation, and investing in
infrastructure. He said he was in favor of creating a community resource coalition and
suggested the City Council initially commit $500,000 and then recommit additional funding
for a second year if needed.
Vice Mayor Dolan said he would like for the APRA funding to be separate from the
budget where it can be reviewed and discussed by the City Council over the next two
years.
Councilmember Lane was in favor of creating a community resource coalition.
There was discussion related to giving back to the community and using it in areas that are
in the best interests of the public.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing.
The following individuals spoke in favor of the City Council designating ARPA funding to
support citizens in the community and social service agencies:
• Mr. Morgan Braden, citizen
• Ms. Cindy Katz, The Clothes Closet, Inc.
• Ms. Christine Watson, The Clothes Closet, Inc.
• Ms. Barbara Smith, Western Welcome Club of Arizona
• Ms. Leslie Denney, Calvary Church
• Ms. Angie Foltz, Western Arizona Senior Living
• Ms. Frankie Lyons, Veterans United of Arizona
• Ms. Bonnie Toy, citizen
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing.
There was discussion regarding the process of forming a community resource coalition and
funding level.
Councilmember Lane said he was not in favor of setting a certain amount of funding for
social service agencies at this time. He suggested the council create a community resource
coalition to identify the needs and funding levels and give staff an idea of how much
money is left for other needs such as deferred maintenance and infrastructure.
Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 4/13/2022
City Council Minutes - Final March 22, 2022
Mayor Sheehy clarified that the ARPA funding is stimulus money from the federal
government utilizing the vehicle of COVID-19 to distribute through different mechanisms
for local municipalities and is different than the initial funding of PPE loans.
There was discussion regarding the Lake Havasu City Resource Alliance formed in 2020
that used CARES Act funding to support businesses and individuals due to the COVID-19
crisis.
Councilmember Campbell suggested the council give direction to create the community
resource coalition but wait on determining a specific funding level.
Mayor Sheehy said the consensus he is hearing from the City Council is to direct staff to
create a community resource coalition. He added that while the council does not seem in
favor of determining a set amount, he believes a funding parameter is needed and asked if
the council would be in favor of allocating $1 million for social service agencies over a
two-year period with the ability for the coalition to request additional funding if needed.
Councilmember Lin was in favor of setting a dollar amount to affirm that the City Council
is serious about investing in the community. She said this is not about the non-profit
organizations but the people that the non-profit organizations are helping in the
community.
Councilmember Moses said he was in favor of $1 million.
Councilmember Campbell said she would like to see the City Council set aside $1 million
each year for two years.
Councilmember Lane expressed his concerns with allocating a specific amount when the
City Council does not know what the true needs are in the community at this time.
Vice Mayor Dolan agreed with Councilmember Lane. He said he would like to see the
coalition determine the needs and how much funding is needed. Vice Mayor Dolan
reiterated that he would like to see these items and conversations concerning the ARPA
funds separate from the budget process and discussion.
Mr. Knudson reviewed the budget process and how projects within the budget contain
identified funding source(s), like ARPA funds, with a plan on how those funds are spent.
Councilmember Coke said instead of the City Council determining a specific amount, she
envisioned the social services agencies coming to the community resource coalition with
the program and amount they need, and number of people they can serve with that
Lake Havasu City Page 12 Printed on 4/13/2022
City Council Minutes - Final March 22, 2022
amount.
Councilmember Lane added that he would also like to hear from staff on funding levels to
address city needs.
Councilmember Lin spoke on the buffer between the community resource coalition and
City Council to ensure accountability for the non-profits and added that she would like to
see the City Council set some amount of funding tonight to show their commitment.
Mayor Sheehy said he would like to have some consensus from the council to give staff
direction. He expressed his concerns that the ARPA funds are time sensitive and have
different tranches based on federal legislation that would prohibit the City Council from
circling back to this discussion until the next budget cycle on whether to use the funds for
non-profits, who need funds for immediate infusion, and/or municipal purposes.
Mayor Sheehy recommended that the council come to some consensus on the funding
parameters to give staff direction, noting that staff would then come back with a resolution
to create the community resource coalition, as well as the appointments of the members
and the funding of the agencies and organizations and/or additional requests.
There was consensus from the council in creating a community resource coalition and
allocating approximately $1 million as a starting point for social service agencies.
Ms. Olsen added that, in terms of accountability, the city (recipient) will remain
accountable for the funding and will ensure that the non-profits (subrecipients) are
following through with their program or plan for the funding.
