Mr. Josh Barger, Greenlight Engineering, addressed the council and said tonight’s presentation is a discussion about their efforts in conjunction with the nearby Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG) and LHMPO to update the region’s transportation and safety plan. He reviewed their vision and goal, crash data analysis for the past five years (2018 to 2022), LHMPO focus areas, recommended emphasis areas, top intersections, and top segments. He said they are focusing not only on crash data but also public input as they update the plan. Ms. Campbell spoke concerning vehicles running red lights and asked if there was a solution to address this, to which Mr. Barger said they look at drivers’ behavior and infrastructure in addition to a couple of other things. He said they can look at education campaigns, making sure that the region has a well-informed public, but noted that this is an issue within the state. He said an additional engineering option could be looking into yellow-interval times. Mayor Sheehy asked if there is a standard for the yellow-interval time, to which Mr. Barger said yes, there is an ADOT standard, and cities can set their own standard but did not have the exact measure but believes it was within the two-second range. He said there is also guidance from the Federal Highway Administration on ranges for yellow lights. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. Emiliano Torres, citizen, addressed the council and asked if the crash data includes the number of passengers in vehicles. Mr. Barger said those statistics are included in the crash data. Ms. Pam Swenson, citizen, addressed the council and asked if the intersections could be timed so that both sides could be red for a longer period. Mr. Barger explained that would be called “all-red interval” and is within the same guidelines mentioned earlier from the Federal Highway Administration and ADOT. He said all-red does increase the safety of the intersection as well as red-light runners but is coming at the cost of traffic operations and efficiencies though the intersections. He said Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 7/25/2024 City Council Minutes - Final July 9, 2024 signal-timing standards is something that the city (for city-owned signals) can look into on their own. He clarified that ADOT would have authority for signal timing on their streets. Mr. Tim Murray, citizen, addressed the council and asked who enforces the traffic along Highway 95. Mayor Sheehy said it is a combination of Lake Havasu City Police Department and State Highway Patrol. Ms. Bonny Toy, citizen, addressed the council concerning the signal synchronization at the intersections of Mulberry Avenue, Lake Havasu Avenue and Highway 95. Mr. Barger said he would rather leave it to ADOT to answer questions about coordination of signals on their corridor. He said their plan is related to safety-oriented items rather than operations. Mr. Pat Willett, citizen, addressed the council regarding the crash data and asked how “suspected serious injuries” were determined. Mr. Barger explained the injury severity is determined by the officer on scene and additionally a follow-up investigation by the officer doing the crash report. He said the term “suspected serious injury” is a box that is checked by the officer on an ADOT crash report that has “no injury” all the way up to “fatal injury”. Mr. Craig Geary, citizen, addressed the council and suggested the city look into installing flashing signals warning vehicles that the signal is about to change. Mr. Barger explained that there are some advanced warning beacons present on Highway 95 already and are great as they typically can serve to address rear-end collisions. He said they will be looking into those further, comparing locations that have those advanced warning beacons for a signal and those that do not to see if they are useful, and can be a recommendation that comes out of the plan. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Mayor Sheehy encouraged citizens to provide feedback and input through the online survey. 7.3 ID 24-4369 Adopt Resolution No. 24-3770 Levying $0.6718 Upon the Assessed Valuation of the Property within Lake Havasu City, Subject to Taxation, Upon Each One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of Valuation, Sufficient to Raise the Amount Estimated to be Required in the Annual Budget Less the Amount Estimated to be Received from Fines, Licenses, and Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 7/25/2024 City Council Minutes - Final July 9, 2024 Other Sources of Revenue which is an Additional Levy Amount of $301,578 Excluding New Construction, due to the Increase in Assessed Valuation; Providing for a General Fund for the General Municipal Expenses for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2025 (Jill Olsen) Administrative Services Director Jill Olsen advised that this item is the final adoption of the property tax levy rate for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25.

She noted that the property tax rate will remain the same; however, due to a slight increase in assessed Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 7/25/2024 City Council Minutes - Final July 9, 2024 valuation there will be a small increase in the amount of revenue collected. She reviewed the Lake Havasu City Improvement District No. 2 Property Tax Levy (London Bridge Plaza) as follows: • Tax Levy o $16,865 (Adopted FY 23-24) o $17,188 (Proposed FY 24-25) • Rate Per $100 o $0.7370 (Adopted FY 23-24) o $0.7370 (Proposed FY 24-25) Councilmember Campbell asked if the parking lot is included in the maintenance costs, to which Vice Mayor Moses explained that the funds received from the swap meet are used to pave and maintain the parking lot. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Councilmember Lane moved to adopt Resolution No. 24-3771 adopting the Lake Havasu City Improvement District No. 2 (London Bridge Plaza) property tax levy rate at $0.7370 per $100 assessed value for Fiscal Year 2024-25, seconded by Vice Mayor Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Lane and Vice Mayor Moses Absent: 1 - Councilmember Lin 7.5 ID 24-4355 Adopt Resolution No. 24-3767 Approving a Minor General Plan Amendment Revising the Future Land Use Map Designations for 70, 80, 90 and 100 Inlet Drive, Tract 2293 Amended, Block 5, Lots 1 through 4, Approximately 2.5 Acres, from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential (Chris Gilbert) Planning Division Manager Chris Gilbert advised that the subject properties are located at 70, 80, 90, and 100 Inlet Drive and comprised of approximately of 2.5 acres in total. He said the applicant intended to construct 15 new dwelling units and 22 buildings but officially withdrew their application for the rezoning and General Development Plan approval that would have followed this hearing. Mr. Gilbert added that the applicant would like to move forward with this application for the General Plan Amendment as the current future land use map designation does not match the R-3 (Limited Multiple-Family Residential) zoning on the property. He explained that the subject properties land use category is Low Density Residential which is consistent with the surrounding areas to the Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 7/25/2024 City Council Minutes - Final July 9, 2024 east but not consistent with the land uses and zoning to the north and south, as well as on the property. Mr. Gilbert said the applicant is requesting High Density Residential which is consistent with the R-3 zoning that is already in place. He added that the Minor General Plan Amendment is necessary to bring the underlying land use category shown in the General Plan, previously Low Density Residential, and recommended for High Density Residential, into conformance with the existing R-3 zoning on the property. He said the subject property and surrounding properties are zoned R-3, to the east is R-1 (Single-Family), and to the west is the City Hall complex, Fire Station No. 1, and the Police Department that are zoned P-1 (Public Lands and Facilities) and MU-N/PD (Neighborhood/PD Overlay). Mr. Gilbert noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed change by a 7-0 vote at their meeting on June 5, 2024. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Councilmember Coke moved to adopt Resolution 24-3767 approving a Minor General Plan Amendment revising the Future Land Use Map Designations for 70, 80, 90 and 100 Inlet Drive, Tract 2293 Amended, Block 5, Lots 1 through 4, approximately 2.5 acres, from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential, seconded by Vice Mayor Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Lane and Vice Mayor Moses Absent: 1 - Councilmember Lin 7.6 ID 24-4357 Adopt Ordinance No. 24-1337 Amending Lake Havasu City Code Section 14.02.03, Residential Units, Tables 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 2-7, and 2-8, and Section 14.04.01, Dimensional Standards, Table 4.01-1, To Remove Maximum Lot Coverage Percent Requirements from Residential Districts (Chris Gilbert)y Mr. Gilbert advised that after review of the current Development Code it was discovered that the city has not historically applied lot coverage percentage limits to residential developments. He further explained that the city has used setbacks as a guarantor of sufficient open space for residential lots. Mr. Gilbert said with the citywide increase in land values and the need for accessory dwelling units (elderly population/workforce housing) along with changes in the macroeconomic climate since the pandemic has resulted in homeowners and developers utilizing their property as much as possible. He stated after staff examined the current situation citywide, it became apparent that enforcing the standard today would cause numerous existing residential dwellings in all part of the city to become legal non-conforming (“grandfathered”), which can create issues for property owners when trying to sell and likely prevent properties that were not grandfathered from Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 7/25/2024 City Council Minutes - Final July 9, 2024 being able install RV garages and accessory buildings on their properties; thereby an action that could push lot coverage over the limit. Mr. Gilbert said staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments to the Development Code removing Lot Coverage Maximum Percentages. Mayor Sheehy added that this item is coming to council with a recommendation of approval from the Planning Commission. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Ms. Swenson addressed the council and asked if there would no longer be a percentage limitation as long as the setback requirements are met, to which Mr. Gilbert said if the amendments were approved then it would only be governed by setbacks, which has been the traditional method. Ms. Toy addressed the council and asked if this included commercial districts, to which Mr. Gilbert said commercial is different as it requires design review automatically and several factors that residential does not (including parking, landscaping, buffers, etc.). Development Services Director Jeff Thuneman clarified that these amendments do not change the maximum coverage percentages for structures in the rear setback. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Vice Mayor Moses moved to adopt Ordinance No. 24-1337 amending Lake Havasu City Code Section 14.02.03, Residential Units, Tables 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 2-7, and 2-8, and Section 14.04.01, Dimensional Standards, Table 4.01-1, to remove maximum lot coverage percent requirements from residential districts, seconded by Councilmember Lane, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Lane and Vice Mayor Moses Absent: 1 - Councilmember Lin 7.7 ID 24-4353 Approve the Cooperative Purchase and Lease Agreement with Quadient, Inc., to Provide Mailing Equipment, Supplies and Maintenance (Jill Olsen) Ms. Olsen advised that this item is to approve a cooperative agreement with Quadient, Inc., to provide mailing equipment, supplies, and maintenance with the option to renew the agreement for a maximum of three additional one-year terms.
