He added that on January 28, 2025, the city entered into a professional services agreement with Logan Simpson Design, Inc. to assist the city with the General Plan update and one of the first steps in accordance with state law is to adopt a Public Education Plan. Ms. Terry Hogan, Logan Simpson Design, Inc., presented the following overview of the General Plan process and Public Education Plan: What is a General Plan? • The General Plan is a General, Comprehensive, and Long-Range Policy Documents • The General Plan is NOT a zoning map, a tool to promote special interests, an unchangeable document, a detailed policy for specific properties, or a Capital Improvement Plan • Purpose of the General Plan is to convey the following: o Community’s vision for the future o Future land use designations with goals, policies, and implementation tasks that guide the community toward achieving this vision Planning Hierarchy • Certificate of Occupancy o Inspections, licenses for compliance with approved detailed plans • Site Plan o Compliance with zoning district standards and site layout • General Plan o Vision statement and broad policy guidance • Building Plans o Detailed building floor plans and architectural details for compliance with building codes • Zoning and Corridor Plans o Specific zoning categories and regulations addresses lot sizes, setbacks, heights and specific uses Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 7/28/2025 City Council Minutes - Final April 8, 2025 Why Update the General Plan? • Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) § 9-461.06 requires that a municipality readopt or update its general plan at minimum every 10 years.

Councilmember Diaz said completion of the Public Education Plan is six months prior to the General Plan election and wondered if sufficient time had been planned to accomplish everything, to which Ms. Hogan explained their timeline which takes into consideration a mandatory 60-day public review period, two meetings with the Planning and Zoning Commission, and meeting with the City Council, with a four-month buffer until it reaches the ballot. Vice Mayor Lin suggested the Partnership of Economic Development (PED) be added to their list of community groups for the Public Education Plan. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Councilmember Campbell moved to adopt Resolution No. 25-3825 adopting the Public Education Plan for the 2026 General Plan Update, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 7/28/2025 City Council Minutes - Final April 8, 2025 Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz, Councilmember Moses and Vice Mayor Lin Absent: 1 - Councilmember Coke 7.4 ID 25-4735 Discussion and Possible Direction Regarding the Outdoor Pool (Vice Mayor Lin) Vice Mayor Lin said she requested this item after a citizen requested an update on the possible outdoor pool that was outlined in the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget. She said the City Council discussed the process at their budget meeting in 2024 and wanted to play a video clip from the meeting to review the direction of the council. A video excerpt from the City Council Regular Meeting (Tentative Budget/CIP Adoption) on June 11, 2024, was shown. Parks and Recreation Director Gabby Vera presented on the demands, current and future programs of the existing pool, and cost considerations of a second pool as follows: Demand • Swim Lessons o Swim lessons typically fill up the day registration opens • Limited Class Sizes o Limited space means limited class sizes • Access to Alternative Programs o High community interest in alternative programs or additional time options (lap swim, fitness classes, free swim) Programs • Current Programs o Fitness classes o Swim lessons o Adaptive swim lessons o Free Swim o Lap Swim • Future Programs o Adult adaptive swim lessons o Adult swim lessons o Water safety o More special event programs (e.g. glow swim) Cost Considerations Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 7/28/2025 City Council Minutes - Final April 8, 2025 • Item o Power/Electricity – Pump/filter operations o Energy – Natural gas for heaters/boilers o Pool Chemicals – Chlorine/muriatic acid/PH balance o Equipment Maintenance – Vacuums/filters/heaters o Certified Pool Operator – 4 hours a day x 365 days o Lifeguards (2) – 8 hours a day x 320 o Misc. – Lane ropes/parts/components Mr. Knudson said funding for the outdoor pool is scheduled in the CIP for Fiscal Year 2025-26. He said in terms of cost estimates city staff has identified the approximate cost for design and the approximate cost to build a 25-meter by 25-yard pool. He said staff is lined up for the construction of the pool if the City Council directs staff in that matter. Mr. Knudson asked if the City Council is directing staff to build a pool at the Aquatic Center, have conversations with the school district, or are there other options out there. He said once some of these questions are answered, staff will be in a position to get it done. Vice Mayor Lin questioned why some of these things have not already been done. She said the direction that they watched on the video was to have those conversations and speed up the process to be ready in 2025 and not have another budget meeting to discuss whether the City Council wants the pool. Vice Mayor Lin said she is confused on the status of the outdoor pool and feels that the city has not done anything. Mayor Sheehy said the conversation stemmed from a Coffee with the Mayor and City Manager meeting where two citizens, one passionate about the swim team and one passionate about lap swim, came to address concerns regarding there not being enough time. He said the city moved quickly and incorporated an outdoor pool into the budget process with funding in the CIP for Fiscal Year 2025-26. He said at the City Council meeting on June 11, 2024 (video excerpt), the City Council discussed moving more quickly on the outdoor pool which staff said they would do. Mayor Sheehy said in September 2024 conversations started regarding the size, location, and design of a second pool with the idea that it be located outside the current Aquatic Center to have the shared space (locker rooms, bathrooms, etc.) cutting down on costs. He added that there have been some discussions with the school district regarding whether they would be interested in partnering and other conversations from individuals regarding the best location. Mayor Sheehy said there is nothing that the City Council has given Mr. Knudson or his team on where to go to start a Request for Proposals (RFP) which identifies the project location and parameters. He said once the City Council gives that direction then city staff can get to work and noted that any of the councilmembers had the ability throughout the year to request an amendment to the CIP budget to move the pool project forward; however, even after conversations with the councilmembers and community members the city still Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 7/28/2025 City Council Minutes - Final April 8, 2025 does not know where the pool location is going to be. Mayor Sheehy said he is in favor of a second pool at the current Aquatic Center from an operational standpoint, shared space, and one location for parents; however, one downside is that the location does not have room for a 50-meter pool. He reiterated that there is currently $2.5 million in the CIP for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to get the pool moving and said he does not think the direction of the City Council changed or that Mr. Knudson or his team were not doing what City Council asked them to do as the City Council approved by action the CIP budget with the funds for the outdoor pool in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Vice Mayor Lin said the minutes from their June 11, 2024, meeting reflect that $2.5 million was identified for a second pool in Fiscal Year 2025-26 as part of the approved CIP and that the City Manager and staff would move up and start the process of an RFP and design. Mayor Sheehy stated that an RFP cannot be done without knowing the size and location of the pool. Vice Mayor Lin asked if it was the City Council’s fault for not going back to the City Manager and staff asking why those things were not done. Mayor Sheehy said he did not think there was anything to fault. He said if the direction now is to build a second pool, which is in the current CIP budget, then that is what the city is going to do. He said the City Council would have had to, by action, move another capital improvement project in order to move the pool project forward to the current fiscal year. Councilmember Dolan said he was confused as he thought the City Council gave direction to keep the project moving so the plans would be ready to go to be able to break ground on July 1st. He said he did not know the size and location were an issue and questioned what the City Council needed to do to keep this project moving forward in the new fiscal budget. Mr. Knudson said staff is ready to put out an RFP for design services that would be in effect on July 1st. He said the City Council has a work session scheduled this week to discuss this project and whether the City Council solidifies the approach of having a 25-meter by 25-yard pool at the Aquatic Center site and is looking for direction from the City Council. Councilmember Moses asked if the conversations with the school district netted any information that would change a 25-meter by 25-yard pool at the Aquatic Center or if this was the best option, to which Mr. Knudson said he has had many conversations with the school district but nothing that has been identified in a firm proposal or partnership. Councilmember Moses said he understands the frustrations, but the money cannot be spent until Fiscal Year 2025-26, and he knows there have been conversations happening; however, if no one is coming forward then the best option seems to be to build a 25-meter by 25-yard pool at the Aquatic Center. Lake Havasu City Page 12 Printed on 7/28/2025 City Council Minutes - Final April 8, 2025 Discussion ensued related to the conversations with the school district. Councilmember Diaz clarified that he does not support a second pool for the swim team but a pool for all users in the community. He said he thought the direction from the City Council at their June 11, 2024, meeting was clear and questioned what had been accomplished over the last nine months. Mayor Sheehy said based on the direction from the City Council it opened conversations to see if there were other partnerships, as well as conversations regarding the location and size of the pool. Mr. Knudson reiterated that the funding for this project is identified in Fiscal Year 2025-26 and explained the process related to the solicitation for design. Councilmember Campbell said when this conversation came up, she thought something had been done as the operating impact identified in the CIP (for the outdoor pool) shows $395,420 in Fiscal Year 2024-25 and $395,420 in Fiscal Year 2025-26. She said there are infrastructure, park, and ballfield needs throughout the community and cannot support this project at this time until the parks, roads, and infrastructure needs are where they need to be unless the school district or other organizations want to help the city. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. The following individuals spoke in support of an outdoor pool: • Ms. Margie Snyder, citizen • Ms. Sandy Hueing, citizen • Ms. Stephanie Welton, citizen • Ms. Brittney Millsaps, citizen • Ms. Bryn Millsaps, citizen • Mr. Dane Millsaps, citizen • Ms. Kierstin Ferrante, citizen • Dr. Liz Marr, citizen • Ms. Juliana Baumkirchner, citizen • Ms. Layla Persaud, citizen • Mr. Mark Persaud, citizen • Ms. Bonny Toy, citizen • Ms. Victoria Reeves, citizen Mr. Paul Katton, citizen, addressed the council in support of an outdoor pool but expressed concern that building a 25-meter by 25-yard pool would be very short-sided and suggested the City Council consider building a 50-meter by 25-yard pool that could be a destination for swim meets and an investment for the city. Lake Havasu City Page 13 Printed on 7/28/2025 City Council Minutes - Final April 8, 2025 Mr. Martin Stansbury, citizen, addressed the council in support of an outdoor pool but expressed concerns regarding progress made over the past ten months. Mr. David Rose, President of the Lake Havasu Unified School District Governing Board, addressed the council and said they have had some initial conversations but not an official meeting with the school district. He said after looking into what the school district is able to do he discovered that they are not allowed to invest money into property that the school district does not own and would be restricted to doing what they are currently doing which is paying the usage fees to use the current facilities; however, they are open to conversations and believe partnership is extremely important and would love a conversation on how the school district is able to partner on their property and what that would look like and where the funding would come from. Mr. Rick Wheeler, Head Coach of the Havasu Stingrays Swim Team, addressed the council and asked that the City Council continue working on the outdoor pool as he believes it is very important for the community. Councilmember Moses said there have been mixed messages from the audience regarding the size of the pool. He said some comments have been that a 25-meter by 25-yard pool will work and others say it needs to be a 50-meter by 25-yard pool which essentially doubles the cost and does not fit into the budget or the site. He said while it may appear that things are stalled, the city might be receiving different information from different people on what really is needed, and if a 25-meter by 25-yard pool will not work then he does not want to build it and thinks the city needs to wait until they can come together to discuss what is needed. Councilmember Moses said he is more confused on whether to move forward after hearing all the testimony. Mr. Wheeler said he was confused about who they needed to get together with to discuss what is needed, to which Mayor Sheehy said the users. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Mayor Sheehy asked if there was consensus from the City Council on moving forward with a second pool. Discussion ensued related to the estimated design and construction costs and estimated operating impacts as identified in the CIP for the outdoor pool. Councilmember Campbell polled the audience on whether the pool should be 25-meter by 25-yard or 50-meter by 25-yard. Lake Havasu City Page 14 Printed on 7/28/2025 City Council Minutes - Final April 8, 2025 Mayor Sheehy polled the audience on whether they would be in favor with moving forward with a 25-meter pool or wait several years to build a 50-meter pool. Based on the responses from the audience in the room, Mayor Sheehy stated that the results were split. Councilmember Campbell said the results (from her question) were in support of a 50-meter pool with only one to two in support of a 25-meter pool. Mayor Sheehy stated that there was consensus from the City Council to continue to explore the second pool idea. Mr. Wheeler explained the uses and benefits of a 50-meter versus a 25-meter pool. He said ultimately the city will outgrow a 25-meter pool. Councilmember Dolan stated that the city could wait five to ten years for a 50-meter pool that they may never get; however, for $2.5 million the city could build a 25-meter pool that fits at the Aquatic Center and could be used for lessons and many other needs. Vice Mayor Lin said she recalled the former Parks and Recreation Director stating that a second pool would result in maybe one additional lifeguard and requested clarification on the amount listed under operational costs of $235,420 for personnel. Mr. Knudson explained that the number of additional lifeguards needed (personnel and maintenance costs) would be determined by the use of the pool. Vice Mayor Lin requested a breakdown of the personnel costs of the second pool at the upcoming budget meeting. Councilmember Diaz left the meeting at 8:17 p.m. 8. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Ms. Nicole Thomas, citizen, addressed the council and said she is a small business owner and dog trainer in town and spoke regarding the lack of signage in the Bridgewater Channel regarding keeping dogs on leashes and cleaning up after your dog. She requested a future item to discuss adding signage and stations in the Bridgewater Channel and Rotary Park. 9. CURRENT EVENTS There were no Council committee reports. 10.
