She said all posting requirements have been met, all fees have been paid, and no objections were received. Ms. Williams added that the location is properly zoned for a Series #12 liquor license. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Vice Mayor Moses moved to recommend that the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses & Control approve a Series #12 restaurant liquor license for Loaded Gun Coffee, 2100 McCulloch Boulevard N., seconded by Councilmember Diaz, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Vice Mayor Moses and Councilmember Diaz 10.2 ID 24-4544 Discussion and Action: Ordinance No. 24-1347 Amending Lake Havasu City Code Section 3.20.040, Schedule of Fees and Service Charges, to Add and Revise Fees and Service Charges (Adoption) (Jill Olsen) Administrative Services Director Jill Olsen advised that the item before council is to adopt the ordinance amending Lake Havasu City Code (Section 3.20.040). Ms. Olsen highlighted the fee changes in the proposed Master Fee Schedule since the October 22, 2024, council meeting as follows: • S-350 Recreation Center Beverage Service Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 12/11/2024 City Council Minutes - Final November 26, 2024 o *All but soda/water increased by $1.00 (rounded) • S-352 Open Swim o *Child/Sr/Youth & School Groups reduced from $5 to $3 (rounded) o *Punch pass (all ages) reduced from $80 to $60 • S-356 Sponsored Swim o *Fees remain same as 2024 Ms. Olsen said at the October 22, 2024, meeting there was some discussion but no direction or consensus regarding the S-110, Business License Fees, and S-131, Water Meter and Service Line Installation Fees; therefore, staff would be providing some additional information and cost comparisons related to these services. Ms. Olsen reviewed the base business license fees for Maricopa, Bullhead City, Marana, Avondale, Casa Grande, Goodyear, Oro Valley, Kingman, Yuma, and Buckeye. She said in researching staff discovered that Lake Havasu City is the only city that has a basis for the business license fees in calculating the costs. She said they found that some of the cities only require a business license for regulated businesses, others have license fees that vary based on business type, and others have separate annual liquor license fees. Ms. Olsen said Lake Havasu City’s fee is cost-based for the basic business license fee, which has a 70 percent cost recovery, and the business license renewal, which has a 50 percent cost recovery. Deputy Public Works Director Timothy Kellett reviewed the labor and material rates associated with the Water Meter and Service Line Installation Fees (S-131). He said previously the fees for this service only covered the labor rate and not materials. Councilmember Diaz asked for more information related to the business license fees, to which Ms. Olsen said the primary costs are associated with technology and labor in processing a business license. Councilmember Campbell asked for clarification on the labor and materials costs and deposits associated with the 4-inch meter (2025 Proposed Fee: $4,040.00), 6-inch meter (2025 Proposed Fee: $9,090.00), and 8-inch meter ($12,120.00). Mr. Kellett said the labor rate for all meters is the same; however, the increase (by meter size) is due to the materials costs. Mayor Sheehy noted that the fees proposed for deposits by meter size remain the same as the 2024 Adopted Fee. Mr. Kellett further explained that when installing the larger 4-inch, 6-inch and 8-inch meters, the city requires a deposit that is applied to the actual billed costs of installing those Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 12/11/2024 City Council Minutes - Final November 26, 2024 meter sizes. Councilmember Campbell suggested the city look into outsourcing water meter and service line installation services. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. Don Wisdom, citizen, addressed the council and asked if the water meter fees would be paid by all citizens. Mayor Sheehy said the water meter fees would be paid by anyone installing a new water meter for new construction or replacing an existing meter. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Dolan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 24-1347 amending Lake Havasu City Code Section 3.20.040, seconded by Vice Mayor Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Vice Mayor Moses and Councilmember Diaz 10.3 ID 24-4542 Discussion and Action: Ordinance No. 24-1349 Amending Lake Havasu City Code Chapter 2.44, Police Department, to Add Sections 2.44.070, 2.44.080, 2.44.090 and 2.44.100 Regarding Police Service Assistants and Citizens on Patrol Members (Adoption) (Chief Stirling) Police Captain Kirk Cesena advised that the proposed amendment would allow the Police Chief to expand the responsibilities of the Police Service Assistants (interns) and Citizens on Patrol Members (volunteers) to address specific city code violations such as handling delayed theft reports and other minor issues that do not require the immediate attention of a sworn police officer. Captain Cesena said by implementing this change the Police Department aims to increase efficiency in the Patrol Division and maximize the use of available resources. Councilmember Diaz asked about the basic training and access to escalation procedures if needed, to which Captain Cesena explained that the Citizens on Patrol go through a 10-week academy that covers use-of-force tactics and field training. He said the Police Department has put together an intense 12 to 16-week training program for the Police Service Assistants (interns) that includes defense tactics. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Vice Mayor Moses moved to adopt Ordinance No. 24-1349 amending Lake Havasu Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 12/11/2024 City Council Minutes - Final November 26, 2024 City Code Chapter 2.44, Police Department, to add Sections 2.44.070, 2.44.080, 2.44.090 and 2.44.100 regarding Police Service Assistants and Citizens on Patrol Members, seconded by Councilmember Coke, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Vice Mayor Moses and Councilmember Diaz 10.4 ID 24-4543 Discussion and Action: Ordinance No. 24-1350 Amending Lake Havasu City Code Chapter 10.08, Rules of the Road, to Update or Establish Regulations Regarding Bicycles, Electric Bicycles, Human and Non-Human Powered Vehicles, Personal Assistive Mobility Devices, Skateboards, Scooters, and Skates (Adoption) (Chief Stirling) Captain Cesena advised that this item was presented at the last council meeting with productive discussion and valuable recommendations from the City Council. He said staff has made the recommended changes in the revised ordinance before the City Council for final adoption, and noted that the revised ordinance is designed to be easier to understand and addresses the concerns raised during the previous discussion. Captain Cesena highlighted a few of the major revisions, including: 1) separated the sections involving the rules of the roadway and rules of the sidewalks and city parks under City Code Sections 10.08.180 (B) and (C), and 2) revised City Code Section 10.08.200(D) to state that the Public Works Director is authorized to erect or place signs as directed by the City Council on any sidewalk, path, or roadway regulating the riding of bicycles, electric bicycles, or other human and non-human powered devices thereon by any person and when such signs are in place no person shall disobey the same. Councilmember Lin asked if the placement of signs would require City Council direction and approval for each sign, to which City Attorney Kelly Garry said if there were certain areas that the City Council wanted to have additional regulations throughout the city regarding any of these modes of transportation, city staff could come before the City Council with a map or have some discussion to identify the areas and what regulations the City Council would like, and then city staff would implement those signs pursuant to City Council direction. She said the authorization would not be for each individual sign, but for the areas that the City Council would want further regulations. Mayor Sheehy said at the previous meeting one of the suggestions was to change the verbiage in the ordinance from the Public Works Director to the City. He said this would give flexibility and assurance to the City Council to designate any areas that they would want to address. He said there was also discussion at the last meeting regarding human and non-human powered vehicles and what areas, if any, the City Council would like additional restrictions – some of the areas discussed included the areas from Rotary Park to the London Bridge, Island Multi-Use Path, and some discussion on Rotary Park. Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 12/11/2024 City Council Minutes - Final November 26, 2024 Councilmember Diaz suggested that City Code Section 10.08.200(D) be revised to state that the City Council is the sole authority as to where signs are to be placed or erected on any sidewalk, path, or roadway regulating the riding of bicycles, electric bicycles, or other human and non-human powered devices thereon by any person and when such signs are in place no person shall disobey the same, and Public Works will facilitate any and all sign placements as deemed necessary by the City Council. Mayor Sheehy stated that the language stating that the Public Works Director is authorized to erect and place signs is throughout the City Code (i.e. special events, traffic signs). He said the only authorization that the city staff would have to erect signs under this ordinance would be given by the City Council. He said if the City Council does not give direction on any areas or restrictions then the Public Works Director would not have authorization to place any signs under this ordinance. Councilmember Campbell suggested the language regarding authorization to erect and place signs be removed, and any areas or restrictions directed by the City Council be added into the ordinance. Ms. Garry said the prior ordinance identified certain areas where people were not able to ride skateboards and other things, and over time it became not applicable. She said staff understands that at times there may be areas where additional regulations are necessary for safety or another purpose, and by doing this it allows some sort of process to put that in place without putting it into the City Code where it has to come back to council every time there is a change to an area or boundary. She said if the City Council prefers to have the areas identified in the City Code staff can absolutely do that and it will accomplish the same goal either way. She added that this same provision can be found throughout the City Code where the City Council is authorizing the Public Works Director to erect signs, and further explained that when drafting the definitions in this ordinance staff tried to capture more simplified definitions versus creating definitions for each of the electric bike classes. Discussion ensued related to the importance of the educational component in the community and schools. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. Butch Harrold Meeks, citizen, addressed the council concerning the youth and visitors who may not know the rules and regulations in this ordinance and the fines that may be assessed. Mayor Sheehy stated that the language as written in the proposed ordinance is punishable by a sanction fixed by the Court not to exceed $300. He said the intent is to find a peaceful coexistence of the community’s recreational spaces and to use this ordinance as Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 12/11/2024 City Council Minutes - Final November 26, 2024 an educational tool, and when those things do not work then the Police Department would have this ordinance to use to address the situation. Ms. Pam Swenson, citizen, addressed the council and asked how the proposed ordinance compares with the traffic laws dictated by the state with regards to motorized vehicles, where they are restricted and allowed, and the size of the individual vehicles. She said it was not clear if the city was taking rules in addition to or beyond the state laws. Mayor Sheehy said the proposed ordinance takes into account only Class 1 vehicles, which are any vehicles not classified by State Statute as motor vehicles and added that the proposed ordinance does not go any further than state law. Mayor Sheehy clarified that the proposed ordinance does not specify class but defines those vehicles as an electric motor less than 750-watts or one horsepower. Ms. Kat Christano, citizen, addressed the council concerning safety issues with electric bikes on the walking paths and asked how the city plans to enforce these regulations. Mayor Sheehy said the proposed ordinance is a small step to help address safety concerns and added that the addition of the Police Service Assistants and Citizens on Patrol positions would help the Police Department with enforcement of these regulations. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Mayor Sheehy spoke on the popularity of these devices and concerns raised by citizens regarding safety issues. He said from the public testimony at the last meeting the City Council heard that there are concerns from all sides and suggested restricting use in the Channel area (from Rotary Park into the Channel) and the Island Multi-Use Path to all vehicles that are not under human-power. Councilmember Lin said she did not want to restrict use anywhere and questioned if children would know what signs that state "human-power only” means. She suggested the signs state “no throttle in this area”. Councilmember Lin asked for further explanation regarding the enforcement aspect. Captain Cesena explained that the enforcement aspect starts with education, usually with a warning, calling the parents, documentation, and any citations typically after warnings, but advised that each is handled on a case-by-case basis. Councilmember Coke said the intent of the proposed ordinance is to have some guidelines and tools for the Police Department to educate the youth, and suggested the language be changed to “limited to” instead of “restricting”. She said she would like to start with Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 12/11/2024 City Council Minutes - Final November 26, 2024 requiring devices to be under human-power on the Island Multi-Use Path, Rotary Park, and Channel areas as those are the highest pedestrian areas. Councilmember Diaz agreed with requiring devices to be under human-power on the Island Multi-Use Path, Rotary Park, and Channel area. Vice Mayor Moses said he did not think requiring devices to be under human-power in the three identified areas would accomplish what they are trying to do as electric bicycles can be set on different levels to go different speeds all using the same amount human-power (pedaling). He suggested an educational component and enforcing speed limits. Mayor Sheehy asked for clarification from Vice Mayor Moses on whether he was in support of limitations in the Channel, Rotary Park, and Island Multi-Use Path to devices under human-power only. Vice Mayor Moses said he thought those areas should be under human-power only and have speed limits. Councilmember Campbell invited a member from the audience to the podium to provide a recommendation from the bicycle industry regarding speed limits. Mr. Brett Miller, citizen, addressed the council and said his recommendation regarding speed limits is that ADA compliant vehicles are 15 miles per hour; therefore, it would be difficult to restrict speeds of less than 15 miles per hour. Mayor Sheehy asked Mr. Miller if he had any background on how other communities measured speed limits, to which Mr. Miller said he has been in other areas that have speed limit signs (similar to school zone signs); however, he has not been in areas that were taking speeds or enforcing those speeds. Councilmember Campbell asked Mr. Miller if he would recommend a speed limit of no more than 15 miles per hour in the three proposed areas, to which Mr. Miller said yes. Councilmember Campbell questioned whether devices using the Island Multi-Use Path would have to use the throttle (non-human power) to help get uphill, to which Mr. Miller said yes some devices may have to use the throttle uphill. Mayor Sheehy asked if using a throttle is “pedal assist” or an actual throttle similar to a motorcycle, to which Mr. Miller explained that there is a throttle as well as someone can be on a Level 1 for most of their ride using pedal assist and use the throttle for more assistance (for example uphill) for a short time. Councilmember Campbell suggested the City Council consider setting speed limits to address speeds even under human-powered (pedal assist). Mayor Sheehy asked for clarification from Councilmember Campbell on whether she was in support of limitations in the Channel, Rotary Park, and Island Multi-Use Path that are focused on speed limits, to which Councilmember Campbell replied yes. Councilmember Dolan was in support of the proposed ordinance with limitations in the Channel, Rotary Park, and Island Multi-Use-Path areas to devices under human-power Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 12/11/2024 City Council Minutes - Final November 26, 2024 only and incorporate speed limits. Mayor Sheehy said at the previous meeting the Police Chief discussed that enforcement of speed limits for these devices is not a possibility at this time; however, as technology changes that is something that the City Council can be open to. He said the proposed ordinance is trying to give tools to the Police Department and expressed concern with forcing a tool on the department that they did not ask for at this point; however, once the technology is there for speed limits the City Council can address and make changes to the ordinance. Mr. Knudson added that the proposed ordinance allows the Police Department to address issues through education, warning, or citation based on severity. He said Councilmember Campbell shared information related to speed feedback signs along pedestrian paths. He said the city could place these signs along the paths from an educational or information perspective as one solution. Mayor Sheehy said based on feedback from the City Council there was support for speed feedback signs as well as limitations in the Channel, Rotary Park, and Island Multi-Use-Path areas to devices under human-powered only. He suggested one change to the proposed ordinance under, City Code Section 10.08.200(D), changing “Public Works Director” to the “City” is authorized to erect or place signs as directed by the City Council on any sidewalk, path, or roadway regulating the riding of bicycles, electric bicycles, or other human and non-human powered devices thereon by any person and when such signs are in place no person shall disobey the same. There was discussion regarding speed limit signs in the future. Ms. Garry advised that any future signage would be covered in the code and any signs would have to be followed. Councilmember Coke moved to adopt Ordinance No. 24-1350 amending Lake Havasu City Code Chapter 10.08, Rules of the Road, to update or establish regulations regarding bicycles, electric bicycles, human and non-human powered vehicles, personal assistive mobility devices, skateboards, scooters and skates with changes to City Code Section 10.08.200(D) from “Public Works Director” to the “City”, with the areas specified at Rotary Park, Channel area, and Island Walking Path, seconded by Councilmember Dolan, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Vice Mayor Moses and Councilmember Diaz Nay: 1 - Councilmember Campbell 10.5 ID 24-4502 Discussion and Action: Statement of Work, Master Services Agreement and Addendum with CivicPlus for a Comprehensive Website Design and Content Managing System (Jerri Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 12/11/2024 City Council Minutes - Final November 26, 2024 Bracamonte) Community Engagement Officer Jerri Bracamonte advised that this item is to migrate the city’s website to a more modern cloud-based platform to help the city better engage the citizens by meeting the needs for accessibility and transparency. She said the city’s website is currently hosted and managed internally by city staff through SiteFinity, which while functionable, is no longer the best tool to serve the city’s growing needs and needs of the citizens. She said staff identified CivicPlus as a replacement solution that is more modern and provides the functionality aspect for the city and citizens, noting that CivicPlus is designed specifically for local governments and is a leading industry provider for web-based website platforms widely used by government agencies across the United States. She said the platform is simple for city staff to update and add content and includes more robust features that includes self-serve options for citizens. Ms. Bracamonte said the total project cost is $135,000 over the course of four years which includes building the website, moving existing data to the new website, updates, and a built-in refresh at the end of year four. Councilmember Lin asked if other cities are utilizing CivicPlus, to which Ms. Bracamonte listed several cities/towns in Arizona utilizing CivicPlus or a cloud-based platform including Flagstaff, Prescott Valley, Fountain Hills, Maricopa County, Pima County, and Cottonwood. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Ms. Swenson addressed the council with questions regarding the system’s capabilities and why it is going to take four years to transfer data between systems. Ms. Bracamonte explained that the website implementation and migration would happen in Years 1 and 2 with annual maintenance in Years 3 and 4. Mayor Sheehy explained that this system is a normal website implementation that extends over a 10 to 12-month period; however, it happens to extend over two fiscal years. Ms. Swenson asked if the city plans to have backup training on the system, to which Ms. Bracamonte explained the system’s functionality, flexibility, and user experience for updates. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Vice Mayor Moses moved to approve the Statement of Work, Master Services Agreement, and Addendum with CivicPlus for the City’s website design and content management system in the amount of $135,000 plus applicable sales tax over four years; authorize the City Manager to execute the required documents; and authorize City staff to exercise the option to renew, seconded by Councilmember Dolan, and carried by the following vote: Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 12/11/2024 City Council Minutes - Final November 26, 2024 Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Vice Mayor Moses and Councilmember Diaz 10.6 ID 24-4548 Discussion and Action: Cooperative Purchase Agreements and Purchase of Crack Sealant Products from Maxwell Asphalt, Inc., and Superior Supply (Bill Young) Transportation & Maintenance Superintendent Bill Young advised that this item is requesting approval of a cooperative agreement to purchase crack sealant products to complete approximately 160 lane miles this year from Maxwell Asphalt, Inc., and Superior Supply in the amount of $274,442.90. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Vice Mayor Moses moved to approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Cooperative Purchasing Agreements with Maxwell Asphalt, Inc., and Superior Supply; authorize expenditures in the amount of $274,442.90, plus applicable taxes, seconded by Councilmember Campbell, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Vice Mayor Moses and Councilmember Diaz 11.
