ROLL CALL Present: 7- Mayor Cal Sheehy, Councilmember Nancy Campbell, Councilmember David Lane, Councilmember Michele Lin, Councilmember Cameron Moses, Councilmember Jeni Coke and Vice Mayor Jim Dolan 5. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Gary Goodman, citizen, addressed the council regarding the city’s Adopt-A-Street Program. He said in comparing the city’s Adopt-A-Street application to Mohave County and the Arizona Department of Transportation’s application, the city’s is very onerous. He said in the spirit of volunteering, he requested the council consider reducing the application process. Mr. Brian Springberg, citizen, addressed the council and said he was in attendance to voice his overwhelming support for the City Council. He said the mayor and councilmembers have recently come under fire from various factions around town to the point to where instead of using their American right to protest, they turned it into something that the City Council were evil-doers and reflected poorly on the community. He said he would like the City Council to know that there are thousands of individuals in Lake Havasu City Page 1 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 the community who do not see them that way and know them differently. He said for the citizens of Lake Havasu City to stand by and watch the council be attacked, degraded, and otherwise vilified, is not only negative to the council but reflects horribly on the community. He thanked them for being the leaders that the community aspires their leaders to be, and said the community appreciates them and asked them to not just take to heart the negativity unjustifiably that has been coming their way. Ms. Cindi Johnson, citizen, addressed the council concerning the AZ Pride Show still allowing children to attend the event. She said sexualizing children is a moral crime and they are seeing it happen at drag shows across the nation. She requested that the City Council make the drag show an age restricted event of 18 years or older. Mr. David Diaz, citizen, addressed the council and said the Mohave Military Museum had a great inaugural year starting in the City Hall lobby and will be ending in the Mohave Community College library. He thanked the City Council and City Manager for their assistance with the first exhibit at City Hall. Ms. Donna McCoy, citizen, addressed the council to voice her support of the City Council. She said in her 20 plus years of living in Lake Havasu City, the citizens have expressed that they want less government in their lives and want control. She said she believes the City Council is taking the correct step in giving freedom to the parents and individuals to decide what is best. She added that she thinks the citizens of Lake Havasu City believe in what the council is doing and appreciates all the time the City Council has given the community. Mr. Mike Bonney, citizen, addressed the council to voice his support of the City Council. He encouraged everyone to listen to the voice of the crowd, as opposed to the voice in the crowd. Ms. Kelly Meister, citizen, addressed the council and said she is sickened by the circus of bigoted hypocrites that parade forward at every meeting crying that they are here to protect the children of Lake Havasu City, but did nothing to protect the children from the 54 registered sex offenders from the city website before they abused children. She said if this is all about protection of the children, why were they not protesting at the high school homecoming event where the male students dressed in cheerleading uniforms and wore makeup, and the female students played football. She said these self-proclaimed protectors of the children have singled out one group of people, and as a lesbian who has raised three daughters, she is offended. She said all the ugliness needs to stop and said one member of the protection squad has taken her fight nationally because she felt that she was not getting enough attention from the Mayor and City Council and now the Mayor and Vice Mayor are receiving death threats. Ms. Meister said words and actions have consequences and Lake Havasu City Page 2 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 said this is not about the children of Lake Havasu City, but about hate and prejudice. Ms. Linda Binder, citizen, addressed the council and was apologetic that the Mayor and Vice Mayor have had to put up with the threats when they are just doing their job. She said they were both re-elected with tremendous support and respect from the community and expressed her support for the City Council. She explained that the event is being held on private property, which the City Council has no control over, and said if someone has an issue with children attending then they should take it up with the parents. She added that several years ago the Republican Women’s Club held a drag show fundraiser event that was very successful and was enjoyed by everyone. Ms. Ginger Dodier, citizen, addressed the council regarding the AZ Pride Show event. She said their concern has always been about the children and the pedophilia sign on their website. She said every town is being tested and asked how Lake Havasu City is going to stand. Mr. Daniel Hoffitt, citizen, addressed the council and said the bible talks about lude behavior. He said this country is led by a constitutional right that if a majority do not want something, that is how it should be decided. Mr. David Leslie, citizen, addressed the council and said the city may not see the damage right now from children under the age of 18 attending drag shows, but they will see it down the road. He said the formative years for children are now, and said he does not understand if the event is for money or entertainment? Mr. Don Wisdom, citizen, addressed the council regarding the new courthouse project and the placement of political signs on billboards in Las Vegas. Ms. Bonnie Toy, citizen, addressed the council and requested that they consider lowering the property tax rate next year. She spoke on several discussion items at the recent Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting and addressed her concern with uneven pavement throughout the city. Mr. Steve Greeley, citizen, addressed the council and said he checks the Go Lake Havasu website occasionally to see whether there have been any changes to the AZ Pride Show event. He said the event still says it is open to all ages, attendees younger than 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent, and that it will consist of some adult content (language). He said this country was built upon compromise and does not understand why there cannot be some compromise. He said he does not believe in censorship; however, words and rhetoric have consequences and the threats are unacceptable. He said he found it shocking to hear that threats were being made to the city’s elected officials and does not Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 believe anyone in the room would condone that. He asked if Go Lake Havasu has publicly reached out to the organizers of the event or tried to compromise or has looked into removing the first sentence which states “the event is open to all ages”? He asked if Go Lake Havasu could make a public statement or issue a press release on whether they have tried to reach out to the organizers or tried to come up with something that benefits everybody. 6.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 8.1 ID 22-3492 Class B Bingo License Application for American Legion Post #81/White (Kelly Williams) Ms. Williams advised that Joseph Michael White with American Legion Post #81 has applied for a Class B Bingo License located at 181 Paseo Del Sol. Ms. Williams said the bingo games will be held five days a week, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday. She added that the application was reviewed internally, and no objections were received. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Councilmember Moses asked whether the application provides detail on the type of bingo that will be played, to which Ms. Williams said there is nothing on the application from the Arizona Department of Revenue that gives detail on the type of bingo that will be played. Councilmember Moses asked if there is anything that hinders the city from asking for information on the type of bingo, to which Ms. Williams said the city can request supplemental information from the applicant. Mr. Joseph White, applicant, addressed the council and said they will have the electronic bingo machines. Councilmember Moses expressed his concern regarding the number of bingo license applications coming before the City Council. He said he understands the City Council is providing a recommendation and are not the final approval or issue the license but expressed his concern regarding the direction of these licenses having no cap or limit on the number issued. Mayor Sheehy explained that the influx of applications is due to new legislation passed by the state that allows for non-profits to apply for bingo licenses. Councilmember Lane asked if the funds generated would remain in Lake Havasu City, to which Mr. White replied yes. Councilmember Lane moved to recommend that the Arizona Department of Revenue approve a Class B Bingo License for American Legion Post #81, at 181 Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 Paseo Del Sol, seconded by Councilmember Campbell, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke and Vice Mayor Dolan 8.2 ID 22-3496 Adopt Ordinance No. 22-1296 for Amendments to Title 14, Zoning (Development Code), Section 14.04.08, Sign Standards, and Section 14.06.03, Definitions, Adding Development Standards for Changeable Copy and Electronic Reader Board Signs, Establishing Minimum Free-Standing Sign Base Width, Amending Political Sign Standards, and Amending Sign Definitions (Luke Morris) Planning and Division Manager Luke Morris said the city recently received comments expressing concerns about the width of free-standing sign bases, the size of electronic reader board signs, and regulations for political signs. He said the following is an overview of the proposed amendments addressing these concerns: Freestanding Sign Base • A note has been added to Sign Table 4.08-2 establishing that a freestanding sign base must be at least 50% as wide as the full sign width. • This has been the presumed standard for years and is now included in the code. • Pole signs are prohibited; therefore, this standard is being included. Changeable Copy and Electronic Reader Board Signs • Notes have been added to Sign Table 4.08-2 for changeable copy and electronic reader board signs establishing a maximum size of 32 square feet and a minimum of eight seconds between displayed images. • Review of other Arizona jurisdictions found that 32 square feet was a common maximum size and eight seconds a common minimum display time. Definitions and Misc. Language Cleanup • ANIMATED OR MOVING SIGN, CHANGEABLE COPY SIGN, AND ELECTRONIC READER BOARD SIGN definitions in Section 14.06.03 and language in Section 14.04.08 have been updated and revised to accommodate the changes. Political Signs • Reorganized the layout of Section 14.04.08.J and renamed to Political Signs. • Removed reference to requiring payment of a fee. • Added requirement that the person or organization planning to erect the political sign must provide the City Clerk with the name, address, and telephone number of a person responsible for the placement and removal of the sign. Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 • Replaced the Sign Free Area map with a legible version. Mr. Morris said the proposed changes will become effective in 30 days, which is after the November 8th election; therefore, they will take effect in the next election cycle. He added that the Planning Commission heard this item at their October 5, 2022, meeting and recommended approval with no changes to the proposed language by a vote of 6-0. Mayor Sheehy said the council asked for staff to review the political sign section in the code that will address some of these components. He said during the most recent primary and general elections there have been numerous sign violations without a lot of muster in the code to ensure compliance, and added that with the cost of electronic signs becoming more affordable, Lake Havasu City is seeing more of them and this section is to ensure the integrity of the community and sign code and how it is supported by the General Plan is all put into an area. Councilmember Campbell said Bullhead City requires electronic signs to be turned off by 10:00 p.m. and asked if the city has also looked into this and whether the city has received any concerns regarding brightness, to which Mr. Morris said brightness is not addressed in the code for changeable message signs and the city has not received any complaints or reports regarding brightness. Councilmember Moses asked whether the code addresses dark skies or ambient light for outdoor lighting, to which Mr. Morris said the lighting code sets minimum standards for outdoor lighting, which is typically household or business lighting, and is not specific to electronic reader board signs. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Ms. Toy addressed the council and said the Go Lake Havasu website lists Lake Havasu City as a Dark Sky Community. Mayor Sheehy stated that Go Lake Havasu is a separate organization from Lake Havasu City; therefore, the city does not control the content on their website. He said a Dark Sky Community must meet many different measures and metrics, which Lake Havasu City does not meet. Mr. Diaz addressed the council and said for clarification political signs are allowed along McCulloch Boulevard and Lake Havasu Avenue (in the Sign Free Zone) if placed on private property with approval from the property owner. Mayor Sheehy said currently political signs are enforced through code enforcement; Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 however, if it is the will of the council to be proactive from a code enforcement standpoint for political signs, the council would need to include language in the motion or provide some direction to the City Manager. He stated that the city would still remain reactive for all other code enforcement activities. Discussion ensued related to proactive versus reactive enforcement of political signs. Mr. Knudson stated that the city currently has a process in place that is reactive, or complaint/report driven, but if it is the consensus of the council to go in a different direction for political signs then it can be changed to a proactive approach. Vice Mayor Dolan and Councilmember Lane were in favor of a reactive approach for enforcement of political signs. Councilmember Campbell was in favor of a proactive approach for political signs. Mayor Sheehy was in favor of a proactive approach for political signs. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Lane moved to adopt Ordinance No. 22-1296 for Amendments to Title 14, Zoning (Development Code), Section 14.04.08, Sign Standards, and Section 14.06.03, Definitions, Adding Development Standards for Changeable Copy and Electronic Reader Board Signs, Establishing Minimum Free-Standing Sign Base Width, Amending Political Sign Standards, and Amending Sign Definitions, seconded by Vice Mayor Dolan. Mr. Knudson asked if the council would consider amending the motion to include language on whether to have a “proactive” or “reactive” enforcement approach for political signs. Councilmember Lane amended the motion to include a reactive approach for political signs. The motion as amended was seconded by Vice Mayor Dolan, and failed by the following vote: AYE: 1 – Councilmember Lane NAY: 6 – Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke and Vice Mayor Dolan Councilmember Campbell moved to adopt Ordinance No. 22-1296 for Amendments to Title 14, Zoning (Development Code), Section 14.04.08, Sign Standards, and Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 Section 14.06.03, Definitions, Adding Development Standards for Changeable Copy and Electronic Reader Board Signs, Establishing Minimum Free-Standing Sign Base Width, Amending Political Sign Standards, and Amending Sign Definitions with a proactive direction for political signs, seconded by Councilmember Lin, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 1 - Councilmember Lane Nay: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke and Vice Mayor Dolan 8.3 ID 22-3475 Approve the Purchase of Motorola Irrigation Controllers from Branif Systems, Inc. (Mike Keane) Parks and Recreation Director Mike Keane advised that this item is requesting approval to purchase Motorola Irrigation Controllers from Branif Systems, Inc., to replace existing irrigation controllers that were purchased in 2005. Mr. Keane explained that the irrigation system operates more efficiently by sensing flow and shutting down the system if a leak is detected and alerts staff. He added that the irrigation controllers are located at Wheeler Park, Fire Station No. 2, Avalon Park, Dick Samp Park, Public Works Maintenance Yard, Airport, North Highway 95 Monument Sign, and Realtor Park. Mayor Sheehy asked if the rest of the community is on similar systems, to which Mr. Keane said the city has been working on updating the controllers since 2015. He said this purchase will complete the system upgrade. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Vice Mayor Dolan moved to approve the purchase of Motorola Irrigation Controllers from Branif Systems, Inc., and authorize the City Manager to sign the Cooperative Purchase Agreement on behalf of the City, 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 22-3478 Approve Amendment No.1 to the Cooperative Purchase Agreement with Omnia Partners for the Purchase of Two (2) 2022 Caterpillar 926M Wheel Loaders from Empire Southwest, LLC, dba Empire Machinery (Bill Young) Transportation and Maintenance Superintendent Bill Young advised that this item is for the purchase of two 2022 Caterpillar 926M Wheel Loaders utilizing the Omnia Partners cooperative purchase agreement with the City of Tucson in the amount of $490,046.04. Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 Mr. Young stated that these loaders will replace two existing loaders that have exceeded their lifespan. Councilmember Campbell asked when the equipment is anticipated to arrive, to which Mr. Young said approximately six to nine months. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Councilmember Moses moved to approve Amendment No.1 to Cooperative Purchase Agreement with Empire Southwest, LLC, dba Empire Machinery, for the purchase of two 2022 Caterpillar 926M Wheel Loaders in the amount of $490,046.04, and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 on behalf of the City, seconded by Vice Mayor Dolan, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke and Vice Mayor Dolan 8.5 ID 22-3498 Approve Amendment No. 1 to Services Agreement for Multi-Term Maintenance Sweeping for Renewal and Price Increase with Precision Sweeping, LLC (Bill Young) Mr. Young said this item is to renew the service agreement and price increase with Precision Sweeping, LLC, from $153,762 to $184,514.40. Mayor Sheehy added that the city contracts with an outside vendor to sweep the entire community a minimum of two times per year to help maintain the roadways. Councilmember Lin asked for clarification of the city’s in-house sweeping versus contracted sweeping services. Mayor Sheehy explained that the contracted sweeping service sweeps the community all at once, but the city also has an in-house street sweeper that is used for storm clean-ups or maintenance clean-ups throughout the community. Mr. Young added that the city’s current sweepers are in poor condition and in need of repairs. He added that the city recently purchased a new sweeper that is expected to arrive in a year; therefore, the city is still in the process of needing an outside company to perform citywide sweeps. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 Councilmember Coke moved to approve Amendment No. 1 to Services Agreement for multi-term maintenance sweeping with Precision Sweeping, LLC, seconded by Councilmember Lane, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke and Vice Mayor Dolan 8.6 ID 22-3505 Discussion, Update, Acceptance of GMP, and Contract Awards for the New Municipal Courthouse Project: Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Including Additive Alternates 1 and 2 with FCI Constructors, Inc., Construction Manager At Risk Construction Services Contract with FCI Constructors, Inc., and Amendment No. 3 to Engineering Professional Services Agreement with DFDG Architecture for Construction Administration (Jarod Thiele) Project Manager Jarod Thiele advised that this project consists of renovation and conversion of a property, purchased by the city in 2020, to the city’s first municipal courthouse, and the expansion and conversation of the existing second story to a community multi-purpose room.

She expressed her concerns regarding the safety of the second-floor community/multi-purpose room and poor condition of the parking lot. Vice Mayor Dolan and Councilmember Coke were in favor of moving forward with the courthouse project. Councilmember Coke asked if the security in the lobby would also be used for those going to the second-floor multi-purpose room, to which Mr. Thiele responded yes. Councilmember Lane was in favor of moving forward with the courthouse project. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Lake Havasu City Page 13 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 The following individuals spoke in support of the courthouse project: • Ms. Cindy Ritter, citizen • Ms. Donna McCoy, citizen • Mr. Dave Seever, citizen • Mr. Don Wisdom, citizen • Ms. Teri Geier, citizen Mr. Emiliano Torres, citizen, addressed the council and asked if the floor plan included a jury waiting room, to which Mr. Thiele said yes, a jury waiting room is located on Level 1 (in blue). Ms. Toy addressed the council and suggested the city find a way to be more proactive in treating people with respect and kindness which may avoid crimes altogether. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Campbell spoke on the poor condition of the parking lot and suggested that, under the architect’s direction, the council possibly consider what it would cost to put in a concrete parking lot that will be permanent moving forward. Mayor Sheehy noted that the suggested action, as outlined by Mr. Thiele, does not include the slurry seal of the parking lot. He said there are many components of the parking lot and flow that may need to be addressed once the courthouse is operational; however, there is a plan to address all city parking lots, including this facility, with maintenance. Vice Mayor Dolan said it was his understanding that the slurry seal would still be done next year as part of the city’s annual maintenance, to which Mr. Thiele replied that was correct. Councilmember Campbell recommended that the city consider putting in a concrete parking lot before the courthouse is open to avoid closures and mess. Vice Mayor Dolan moved to accept the GMP dated October 6, 2022, including Additive Alternates 1 and 2 from FCI Constructors; approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a CMAR Construction Services Contract with FCI Constructors, Inc.; and approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to Engineering Professional Services Contract with DFDG Architecture for construction administration, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke and Vice Mayor Dolan Lake Havasu City Page 14 Printed on 11/9/2022 City Council Minutes - Final October 25, 2022 Nay: 1 - Councilmember Lin 9.
