7.3 ID 25-4721 Discussion and Action: Ordinance No. 25-1357 Amending Lake Havasu City Code
Chapter 3.10, Procurement, Including but Not Limited to Adding and Revising Definitions
and Exceptions and Increasing Thresholds (Introduction) (Jill Olsen)
Administrative Services Director Jill Olsen advised this item is introduction of an ordinance
repealing and replacing Chapter 3.10 of the City Code related to Procurement. Ms. Olsen
said an increase in the thresholds within the City Code would allow for greater government
efficiency and productivity in the daily functions of the city, throughout each department.
Ms. Olsen outlined the following in her presentation:
Why Make Changes?
• Better use of time, resources and funds
• Projects/tasks performed more efficiently & effectively
• Expands opportunities for our community’s small & local business
• Comparable with peers & similar AZ cities
• Reflect best practices
• Most comparable cities are at the $100,000/10% levels
• Expenditure threshold for Council approval
o Current threshold for purchases greater than $50,000
• Contract amendments threshold for Council approval
o Current threshold at 5% (not more than $50,000)
Updates Recommended
• Expenditure threshold for Council approval
o Recommend increase of level to $100,000
• Contract amendments threshold for Council approval
o Recommend increase of level to 10% (not more than $100,000)
• Increase maximum dollar amount for job-order-contract related to
construction under A.R.S. Title 34
Summary of Proposed Changes
• Increase Council approval threshold to greater than $100,000
• Add approval language for multi-year contracts
• Changes administrative in nature to enhance definitions, provide
clarification, etc.
• Increase Council amendment approval threshold to greater than 10%
(not more than $100,000)
Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 4/10/2025
City Council Minutes - Final March 25, 2025
• For job-order-contracts (JOC) under A.R.S. Title 34, increase the
maximum allowed contract to $2 million
Mayor Sheehy said this discussion came before the Council at the Planning Session in
January. He said in summary it would increase the City Manager’s threshold from
$50,000 to $100,000. He explained that all the expenses are approved in the budget;
however, the only change would be the threshold that they would come before the City
Council for approval, and would allow for more efficiency and may expand opportunities
for local businesses.
Councilmember Diaz asked if there is a report available online that lists all city
expenditures, to which Mayor Sheehy said the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report (ACFR) is available online. Ms. Olsen noted that the city does not have an existing
report online that shows anything below the City Council threshold; however, a report of
all purchases could be requested at any time. Councilmember Diaz asked if a quarterly
report with all expenditures between $50,000 and $100,000 could be made available
online.
Councilmember Diaz asked for clarification regarding the language added under Section
3.10.010.3, Exceptions, to which Ms. Olsen explained that this section was an area that
staff wanted more clarification as what was previously written left a lot of room for
interpretation. She said the proposed language provides clear language as to what is
considered an “exception”.
Councilmember Campbell suggested an amendment that over the next one to two years
the quarterly reports contain a footnote or memorandum explaining what expenditures fell
between $50,000 to $100,000. She added that she would also like the reports to include
any JOCs that fell between $1 million to $2 million.
Ms. Olsen stated that what is being suggested would not necessarily need to be codified
but could be included as part of staff’s procedures in preparing the quarterly report. She
said the quarterly report would be made available online and include a footnote or an extra
memorandum with the information requested.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing.
Ms. Bonny Toy, citizen, addressed the council and asked if the amendments would
eliminate the Public Works Department from having to come before the City Council for
approval of vehicle purchases every week, to which Mayor Sheehy said any vehicle
purchases over the $100,000 threshold would still come before the City Council; however,
if the purchase was under $100,000 then they would not. Ms. Toy suggested any vehicle
Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 4/10/2025
City Council Minutes - Final March 25, 2025
purchases be placed at the beginning of the agenda.
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing.
Discussion ensued related to the quarterly reports and whether the city was able to filter
the expenditures from $50,001 and $100,000 to include in the reports.
Discussion ensued related to the increase from $1 million to $2 million maximum allowed
for JOCs. Ms. Garry explained that under State Statutes there is a $1 million threshold for
a single JOC, but cities and towns by State Statutes can set a higher threshold. She said
the city has had a couple of JOCs that have been above the $1 million that have come
before the City Council requesting approval to raise that limitation higher than $1 million.
Ms. Garry said all this does is set a $2 million threshold, meaning that a task order under a
JOC can be up to $2 million. She noted that the JOCs will still come before the City
Council for approval, it is just allowing those projects to be a little bit bigger than just
limited to $1 million because if it goes over $1 million then staff has to come before the
City Council requesting approval to raise the JOC in that process or has to do a different
type of solicitation which wastes a lot of time.
Mayor Sheehy said it was mentioned that there were approximately 19 items over the last
year that fell between the $50,000 and $100,000 threshold that would not have come
before the City Council and requested a summary of those 19 items at the next meeting
for the City Council to review.
Vice Mayor Lin expressed concern with the increase from $50,000 to $100,000, and
wondered if the 19 items that fell between $50,000 and $100,000 were a little over
$50,000 or closer to $100,000. She suggested the summary contain the large purchases
versus cumulative purchases.
Ms. Olsen said staff would provide a summary to City Council at the next meeting.

Section 2.56.111, Municipal Court Administrative Fee Schedule and Jail Cost Recovery,
to Revise the Court Enhancement Fee (Introduction) (Mitchell Kalauli)
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 4/10/2025
City Council Minutes - Final March 25, 2025
City Magistrate Mitchell Kalauli advised that this item is to introduce an ordinance
amending the Lake Havasu City Code Section 2.56.111, Municipal Court Administrative
Fee Schedule and Jail Cost Recovery, and revise the Court Enhancement Fee. Judge
Kalauli explained that when the city was incorporated, a Court Enhancement Fee was
established at $10 and was designed like a rainy-day fund but also to be utilized for
purposes such as the Youth Court, and sound and equipment. He said this fee has not
been changed for approximately 40 years; however, during the last legislative session there
was a one percent clean election increase and $20 First Responder benefit that were
imposed. He said Mohave County (“County”) added $10 to their Court Enhancement Fee
and this request is to align with the County and increase the Court Enhancement Fee from
$10 to $20.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Dolan moved to introduce Ordinance No. 25-1358 amending City
Code Section 2.56.111, seconded by Councilmember Campbell, and carried by the

Rezone and General Development Plan of 3485, 3489 & 3493 Maricopa Avenue, Tract
2217, Block 17, Lots 8, 9 & 10, Approximately 0.92 Acres, from Commercial -
Southgate (C-SGD) District to Commercial - Southgate/Planned Development
(C-SGD/PD) District to Allow Outdoor Entertainment for a Mini-Golf Course and an
Outdoor Rock-Climbing Wall to a Height of 50 Feet Above the Approved Maximum
Grade (Trevor Kearns)
City Planner Trevor Kearns advised that the subject property is approximately 0.92 acres
combined, currently vacant, and located on Maricopa Avenue between Pecos Drive and
Outpost Drive. The abutting properties to the east and west are undeveloped and zoned
Commercial-Southgate District (C-SGD), the properties to the north are zoned
Residential-Southgate District (R-SGD) with a mix of vacant and undeveloped residential
uses, and the properties to the south are Maricopa Avenue and Highway 95. Mr. Kearns
added that the underlying land use for the subject properties and surrounding properties is
commercial mixed use and noted that the proposed project complies with the existing
underlying land use. He said the applicant’s letter of intent requests an exception to allow
outdoor entertainment use to facilitate an outdoor mini-golf course and rock-climbing wall,
as well as a height exception to allow a 50-foot-tall outdoor rock-climbing wall. Mr.
Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 4/10/2025
City Council Minutes - Final March 25, 2025
Kearns stated that the proposed project conforms to the adopted parking-in-common
master plan, and, if approved, the requested exceptions are consistent with the
development code and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Mr. Ivan Betancourt with Selberg Associates, Inc., reviewed the aerial map location and
conceptual site plan, and outlined the following in his presentation:
Advantages
• This development will add to the available recreational activities
for children, teens, and adults in an ever-growing Lake Havasu City
community.
• We are proposing a restaurant with an outdoor 18-hole miniature
golf course, with the course to include artificial turf, landscape rock and
boulders, and water features. The restaurant and outdoor entertainment
will be known as Dimple’s Adventures.
• For the site design, we are working with famed miniature golf course
designer, Harris Miniature Golf Courses, Inc.
• Along with the miniature golf course, we are also proposing an up to
50’ foot tall outdoor rock-climbing wall.
• Fundraising events will be held where partial proceeds from both the
miniature golf & rock-climbing wall will be donated to local nonprofits &
charities.
Other Features
• The fun is not limited to just the outdoor entertainment. The miniature
golf course & rock-climbing wall will complement a restaurant and bar at
the west portion of the site.
• The restaurant & bar will include other entertainment such as karaoke
stages, indoor batting cages, & video game arcade.
Planned Development
• A Planned Development overlay will need to be applied to the C-SGD
zoning that will allow outdoor entertainment for a mini-golf course and an
outdoor rock-climbing wall to height of 50 feet above the approved maximum
grade.
Discussion ensued regarding the surrounding properties.
Councilmember Diaz asked about the hours of operation and how the applicant plans to
address lighting and noise concerns, to which Mr. Betancourt said they are still
determining the hours of operation; however, they would probably close around 9:00 p.m.
Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 4/10/2025

or 10:00 p.m., which is in the same range as most restaurants in town.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing.
Ms. Toy addressed the council and spoke concerning the number of handicapped spaces
on the conceptual plan and if the lighting would affect traffic along Highway 95. Mayor
Sheehy said the parking and lighting for this project would have to meet Lake Havasu City
Code requirements.
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Diaz moved to adopt Ordinance No. 25-1359 approving the
Planned Development Rezone and General Development Plan of 3485, 3489 & 3493
Maricopa Avenue, Tract 2217, Block 17, Lots 8, 9 & 10, from Commercial -

requesting approval of a cooperative purchase agreement to purchase 18 solar powered
illuminated Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) pedestrian crossing systems from
Traffic and Parking Control Co., Inc., in the amount of $75,748.91. Mr. Young explained
that the traffic signals would be placed on both sides of the crosswalks in the downtown
area located at McCulloch Boulevard North and Scott Drive, McCulloch Boulevard North

Boulevard North and Pima Wash, and McCulloch Boulevard North and Birch Square.
Vice Mayor Lin asked if city staff would be installing the signals, to which Mr. Young
replied yes.
Councilmember Campbell spoke concerning the synchronization of the traffic intersections
and pedestrian crossing signals. Mr. Young said the signals are not synchronized with the
traffic intersections and are similar to the traffic signal on the London Bridge.

from jaywalking in the downtown area.
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing.

Mr. Young said staff would be including maintenance parts into their plan to have parts
