CALL TO THE PUBLIC Ms. Marsha Bailey, citizen, addressed the council concerning the new members of the Planning and Zoning Commission. She said when we lose faith in those we trust, we become apathetic and it affects the way we treat each other, our city, and causes people to not care to be involved because in the end they feel that their voices do not matter. Ms. Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 7/10/2024 City Council Minutes - Final June 25, 2024 Bailey said she has been a permanent resident of the city for seven years and is not against growth and progress but is concerned about the lack of forward thinking and vision with the developments that seem to get pushed through without proper infrastructure. She said the disregard for the lack of infrastructure and the backtracking to right those decisions to proceed without it affects the current residents immensely. She said the city does not have enough working-class housing to accommodate the need for some of the most important people that are the mainstay of the city including servers, mechanics, teachers, and grocery clerks. She added that the city does not have enough healthcare, veterinary care, and childcare and so far the traffic studies have either been poorly done because of the city’s seasonal changes or ignored. Ms. Bailey said the city continues to allow developers to compound these issues by building with no regard for proper infrastructure and asked why the developers are not required to pay for infrastructure improvements prior to developing? She said the residents depend on the decisions of the elected officials to protect the city and so far it seems like the residents’ desires have fallen on deaf ears. She said she hopes that the new members of the Planning and Zoning Commission will make a difference and the residents will walk away with confidence feeling that their voices have been heard. She encouraged residents to educate themselves on the developers and to vote in the upcoming primary election. Ms. Bonny Toy, citizen, addressed the council regarding the lack of benches and cooling stations in the city. 9.
