He said Alley 20 is a frontage road that runs north of Palo Verde Boulevard South to El Camino Drive. Mr. Foggin explained the city’s renaming process and requirements. He said the Street Renaming Committee reviewed the application and determined that all requirements were met and recommended approval of renaming Alley 20 to “Scott Brennan Way”. He added that the street name change does not have a negative impact on the businesses along Alley 20.

Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public Lake Havasu City Page 2 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 hearing. Councilmember Diaz moved to adopt Resolution No. 25-3872 designating Alley 20 north of South Palo Verde Boulevard to El Camino Drive as “Scott Brennan Way” in honor of Scott Brennan and authorize City staff to take the appropriate actions to accomplish this action, seconded by Councilmember Dolan, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz, Councilmember Moses and Vice Mayor Lin 7.2 ID 25-4935 Discussion and Action: Ordinance No. 25-1369 Approving a Planned Development Rezone and General Development Plan for 2015 Moyo Drive, Tract 100, Block 1, Lots 1 and 2, 0.82 Acres, from Residential-Commercial Health District (R-CHD) to Residential-Commercial Health District/Planned Development (R-CHD/PD), to Decrease the Minimum Density From 15 Dwelling Units Per Acre to 10 Dwelling Units Per Acre (Chris Gilbert) Planning Division Manager Chris Gilbert advised that the subject property is 0.82 acres consisting of multiple parcels previously platted as a tiny home development located at 2015 Moyo Drive. The entire parcel is zoned Residential-Commercial Health District (R-CHD) and is surrounded by the same zoning. He explained that the General Plan designation for this property is High Density Residential which has a density range of 10 to 20 units per acre and the proposed project complies having a density of almost 11 units per acre. Mr. Gilbert said the General Development Plan shows nine (9) barn cave style two-story homes each with bottom floor garages and second floor living. He said a condo association will maintain the common drive, pool, perimeter fencing, landscaping, and interior walkways. Mr. Gilbert explained that the plan meets all R-CHD special design standards and only needs exception to lower the minimum density from 15 to 10 units per acre as the City Council changed the density standards for the R-CHD zone in 2022 to remove the no minimum density requirement and replace it with the minimum of 15 units per acre. Mr. Gilbert displayed the project façade renderings and façade election details. Mr. Gilbert reviewed the code compliance conditions for the application as follows: 1. The development shall substantially match the General Development Plan provided with the request. 2. Address comments from other agencies and reviewers during Design Review Phase. 3. Building permits and Design Review for compliance with City Codes, including any Lake Havasu City Public Works Department’s required off-site improvements, will be required with development of the property. Vice Mayor Lin expressed concerns regarding the configuration of the units and whether Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 large vehicles would be able to navigate the garage spaces, to which Mr. Gilbert replied that the width of the drive aisle meets the City’s Development Code standards. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. Emiliano Torres, citizen, addressed the council concerning the second floor living areas having proper emergency evacuation and whether the plan meets all codes. Development Services Director Jeff Thuneman explained that the building code does not allow a living residence to exit directly through a garage; therefore, the living residence would have to have an exterior door secluded from the garage. Ms. Pam Swenson, citizen, addressed the council and asked if the city had an engineer review the garages as it relates to the turn radius of large vehicles. Mr. Thuneman explained that the code reviews garages for covered parking of vehicles and not the types of vehicles. He said the City Code requires 24-foot-wide minimum access, which this plan meets. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Dolan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 25-1369 approving a Planned Development Rezone and General Development Plan for 2015 Moyo Drive, Tract 100, Block 1, Lots 1 and 2, from Residential-Commercial Health District to Residential-Commercial Health District/Planned Development, to decrease the minimum density from 15 dwelling units per acre to 10 dwelling units per acre, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz, Councilmember Moses and Vice Mayor Lin 7.3 ID 25-4929 Discussion and Action: Presentation of the 30% Second Bridge & Roadway Improvement Project (Jason Hart) Capital Program Manager Jason Hart said this item is to provide an update and presentation on the 30 percent design status of the Second Bridge and Roadway Improvement Project. He reviewed the project timeline as follows: • Feasibility Study completed June 2024 • Design firm hired October 2024 • 20% Bridge design December 2024 • CMAR hired February 2025 • Environmental Assessment process started with the United Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 States Coast Guard July 31, 2025 (one year or less to complete) • 30% Bridge design submittal to City September 2025 Mr. Hart said the City has been working with several agencies on this project including: • Arizona Department of Transportation • Arizona State Lands • Arizona State Parks • Bureau of Land Management • United States Coast Guard Mr. Hart reviewed the items finalized up to this point including: • Roadway alignment • Bridge location and length • Intersection layout • ROW limits on South Side of Channel • ROW limits on North Side of Channel Mr. Hart outlined the project construction limits and two intersections, the first off London Bridge Road that will have an access road to Arizona State Parks and the second off McCulloch Boulevard that will connect to Beachcomber Boulevard. Mr. Hart reviewed the timeline moving forward as follows: • 60% Bridge design February 2026 • EA permit issued by USCG April 2026 • 100% Bridge design July 2026 • Bridge construction 1st Quarter of 2027 • Construction Phase is expected to last 18 to 24 months Discussion ensued related to the bridge and roadway realignment. Councilmember Diaz asked if the roundabouts were finalized, to which Mr. Knudson said nothing had been finalized, adding that the conversations regarding the intersections and roundabouts were brought forth early on to receive feedback from the Council and citizens. Councilmember Moses asked about the timeline of the bridge and road network, to which Mr. Hart said the goal is for the bridge and road network to be built in conjunction. Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. Artie Collins, citizen, addressed the council and said he was not in favor of roundabouts. Mr. Don Wisdom, citizen, addressed the council and asked if the bridge foundation would be constructed at ground level or on the sand. He added that he had a difficult time understanding the concept of the roadway alignments and suggested the City show a map with the various options. Mr. Hart said the bridge abutments would be constructed on pile drives on spread footings, which are industry standard and are also cost effective. Mr. Kelly Lutz, citizen, addressed the council and said it was mentioned that the 30 percent design was finalized and asked if the City Council or a committee that finalizes the phases and if more design work would be done on the intersections. He said he was also not in favor of roundabouts without pedestrian crosswalks. Mayor Sheehy said the City Council would make the final decision; however, it isn’t until the 60 percent design that the City Council would have the numbers and options to make any final decisions. Mr. Harold Meeks, citizen, addressed the council and said he was not in favor of the roundabouts as it poses a safety issue with pedestrians. Ms. Swenson addressed the council and asked if the city had a traffic design engineer involved in this project, to which Mr. Hart replied yes. Ms. Swenson asked if there would be other roadway options other than the roundabouts for the citizens to consider. Mayor Sheehy said when the project gets to that part of the discussion there will be other options to consider and for the public to weigh-in on as well. Mr. Derrick Jones, citizen, addressed the council and spoke on his experience with roundabouts and concerns related to traffic safety and emergencies. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Dolan expressed concerns regarding the need for a second bridge and that it would lead to an increase in development on the Island. He added that while he is appreciative that the city was gifted $35 million for a second bridge, he does not think it is fiscally conservative, and would like to see this project go to a referendum to allow the Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 citizens to vote. Councilmember Dolan said if the City is going to continue with this, he suggested they look at keeping the land on the Island as public use that cannot be changed. 7.4 ID 25-4927 Discussion and Action: Cooperative Purchase, Installation, and Maintenance of Fire Station Alerting Systems with Honeywell International Inc. through its US Digital Designs Group (Chief Pilafas) Fire Chief Pete Pilafas advised that this item is requesting approval of a Cooperative Agreement for installation and maintenance of Fire Station Alerting Systems for all fire stations with Honeywell International, Inc., in the amount of $760,077.30. Chief Pilafas explained that the new alerting system offers upgrades including reliable communication, improved response times, clear pre-communication, reduces cardiac stress and anxiety, minimizes optical shock, maximizes fire fighter safety, compliance with the National Fire Protection Association, expandable for future needs, cost-effective, and fire fighter-friendly for nighttime operations. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Councilmember Moses moved to approve the cooperative purchase, installation, and maintenance G2 Fire Station Alerting Systems from Honeywell International Inc. through US Digital Designs Group, seconded by Vice Mayor Lin, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz, Councilmember Moses and Vice Mayor Lin 7.5 ID 25-4936 Discussion and Action: Cooperative Purchase for the Refurbishment of One (1) 2014 Pierce Velocity Engine/Pumper from Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus dba Firetrucks Unlimited (Chief Pilafas) Chief Pilafas advised that this item is requesting approval of a Cooperative Agreement with Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus dba Firetrucks Unlimited for the refurbishment of one 2014 Pierce Velocity Engine/Pumper in the amount not to exceed $600,000. Chief Pilafas explained that the five-year vehicle replacement/refurbishment program was created to address the aging fleet, maintenance costs, and extend the fire apparatus lifespan an additional 10 to 15 years. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. Meeks addressed the council and asked what parts on the vehicles were needing replacement, to which Chief Pilafas explained that many of the internal components require replacement due to external factors such as the weather, heat, use, and hard water. Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 Mr. Lutz addressed the council and expressed his appreciation for the City’s proactive approach to refurbishing versus purchasing new equipment. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Diaz moved to approve the cooperative purchase for the refurbishment of one (1) 2014 Pierce Velocity Engine/Pumper with Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus dba Firetrucks Unlimited in the amount not to exceed $600,000, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz, Councilmember Moses and Vice Mayor Lin 7.6 ID 25-4932 Discussion and Action: Award of Main Street Commons Shade Canopies Project to Merrill Development, Inc. (Jason Hart) Mayor Sheehy requested Item 7.6 and Item 7.7 be presented together. Mr. Hart advised that Item 7.6 is for the award of the Main Street Commons Shade Canopies Project to construct an additional eight canopies at Main Street Commons located on the corner of McCulloch Boulevard and Querio Drive. Mr. Hart said the project is expected to take nine months with an anticipated completion date in February 2026. He noted that the City received two bids with the low bidder being Merrill Development, Inc., in the amount of $346,807 (including base bid plus force account). Mr. Hart reviewed the overall funding for the Main Street Commons Project as follows: • 11% (General Funds) = $335,840 • 21% (Water Conservation Grant Fund (WIFA) = $610,140 • 34% (Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) = $1,000,000 • 34% (America’s Best Community (ABC) Funding) = $1,000,000 As requested by Mayor Sheehy, Mr. Hart presented Item 7.7. Mr. Hart advised that Item 7.7 is to award the Main Street Commons Bathroom Building and Concessions Building Project to Merrill Development. He said the bathroom building would be located at the southeast corner of Main Steet Commons, with the proposed concession building directly across the park. Mr. Hart said the project schedule is anticipated to take six months with an expected completion date in May 2026. He said the city received eight bids with the low bidder being Merrill Development, Inc., in the amount of $1,059,423 (including base bid plus force account). Mr. Hart reviewed the overall funding for the Main Street Commons Bathroom Building Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 and Concessions Building Project as follows: • 38% (Community Donations) = $400,000 • 62% (General Funds) = $659,423 Mayor Sheehy provided a brief history on the America’s Best Communities (ABC) competition and Vision 20/20 Revitalization Program which set aside $1 million for the Downtown Catalyst Project (now Main Street Commons), $500,000 for Nomadic, and $500,000 for the Environmental Learning Center Feasibility Study. Mayor Sheehy noted that this item was in the budget last year; however, due to costs, the City Council chose not to move forward and was budgeted this fiscal year. Vice Mayor Lin expressed concerns that the original shade structures were constructed by a different company and asked how the city is able to guarantee that the additional shade structures would be built the same, to which Mr. Hart explained that the engineer that designed the original shade canopies would be reviewing the submittals and added that the specification plans are clear that they are to be the exact similar structure. Vice Mayor Lin spoke concerning the design of the shade structures and lack of shade. Mayor Sheehy noted that a representative from Dig Studios provided a presentation to the council regarding the different angles and pitches of the structures. Mr. Hart said it was his understanding that the goal was to shade the walkway. Vice Mayor Lin expressed concern that the original bid was for a bathroom and this bid is for a bathroom and concession stand. She said she did not understand why both buildings were being lumped together in one bid and asked for more information on the grants the City received for this project, specifically what the grants were written for and what they were used for. Councilmember Diaz said he was in favor of a gathering spot but thought the project had not been done properly from the beginning and was not in favor of building a concession stand. Councilmember Dolan said he did not like the design of the shade structures; however, he agrees that the project needs to be completed as it is a heavily used area. He said he was also not in favor of the bathrooms but feels they are needed and the cost to do them later would likely increase. He added that in the future he would like to see project designs done like a planned development. Councilmember Campbell said she had concerns early on with the design, parking, irrigation, and grading. She asked what the total cost was for the current shade structures, Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 to which Mayor Sheehy said the current shade structures were constructed by a subcontractor which staff did not have those numbers but could get them and provide them to the council. Councilmember Campbell spoke concerning the bids received to build eight additional shade structures and a bathroom building. She said the City Council and Parks and Recreation initially asked for bathrooms and a bridge connecting the parking lot. She said those two items were listed in the original options; but then the City turned around and spent $1 million on shade structures. She said a concession stand was never a discussion or direction of the City Council and expressed concern that the concession stand was being lumped together with the bathrooms. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. The following individuals addressed the council and spoke on the Main Street Commons Shade Canopies Project and/or Main Street Commons Bathroom Building and Concessions Building Project: • Mr. Steve Ticknor, DSM Events • Mr. Jim Russell, DSM Events • Mr. John Parrott, citizen • Ms. Gianna Kraft, citizen • Ms. Bonny Toy, citizen • Mr. Harrold Meeks, citizen • Mr. Kelly Lutz, citizen • Mr. James Gray, Partnership for Economic Development • Mr. Don Wisdom, citizen • Ms. Lisa Krueger, citizen • Ms. Cindy Ridder, citizen • Mr. Brian Springberg, citizen • Mr. Shawn Buckley, Go Lake Havasu • Mr. Derrick Jones, citizen • Mr. Taylor Harrison, citizen • Mr. Emiliano Torres, citizen • Mr. JP Thornton, Downtown Association • Mr. Dan Roddy, citizen There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Moses stated that the purpose of the Downtown Catalyst Project was to spur economic growth, and this project is supposed to be a community asset that makes it easier to hold events downtown that benefit promoters, businesses, and the city. He said what he is hearing is that the space needs shade, bathrooms, and a concession/storage Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 space to be a successful event center and create a vibrant community. Councilmember Moses said he shares the same concerns regarding the costs but was in favor of completing the project. Discussion ensued regarding the project costs and financial impact. Councilmember Dolan moved to award the base bid for the Main Street Commons Shade Canopies Project to Merrill Development, Inc., in the amount of $346,807, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 4 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan and Councilmember Moses Nay: 3 - Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Diaz and Vice Mayor Lin 7.7 ID 25-4931 Discussion and Action: Award of Main Street Commons Bathroom Building and Concessions Building Project to Merrill Development, Inc. (Jason Hart) Mayor Sheehy asked that this item be presented again for the viewers watching the meeting video. Mr. Hart advised that this item is to award the Main Street Commons Bathroom Building and Concessions Building Project to Merrill Development. He said the bathroom building would be located at the southeast corner of Main Steet Commons, with the proposed concession building directly across the park in the northwest corner. Mr. Hart said the project schedule is anticipated to take six months with an expected completion date in May 2026. He said the city received eight bids with the low bidder being Merrill Development, Inc., in the amount of $1,059,423 (base bid plus force account). Mr. Hart presented the overall funding for the Main Street Commons Bathroom Building and Concessions Building Project as follows: • 38% (Community Donations) = $400,000 • 62% (General Funds) = $659,423 Mayor Sheehy clarified that this item is specifically for the bathroom and concession buildings. He noted that back when the council heard this item the prices were much different and higher; however, at that time, the council was only considering a bathroom and not a concession area. Mayor Sheehy added that there has been a lot of discussion about the concession area; however, the building will also have a storage area allowing for operational efficiencies and versatility of the building and area. Vice Mayor Lin thought that adding additional shade structures, a bathroom, and a Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 concession building would not complete the project as there still isn’t a bridge or stage. She said she would like to see the grant funding that the City received, what was asked for in the grant, and whether the City fulfilled it. She explained that the $400,000 in community donations that is identified for this project is money from the Partnership for Economic Development (PED) that the City gave to the PED, and asked when the City Council ever discussed or gave direction to go out to bid for a concession stand. She suggested the $400,000 in community donations be spent on a bridge connecting the parking lot to Main Street Commons. Mayor Sheehy stated that he was a huge proponent of the bridge last year; however, due to the topography of the land now it does not make sense to have a bridge. Councilmember Campbell said she agreed with Vice Mayor Lin’s comments regarding the concession stand, and Councilmember Dolan’s concerns that the visual the City Council received originally is not what the project is today. She said she was in favor of building a bathroom, but did not support building a concession stand. Councilmember Diaz said it is not immoral to be fiscally responsible and while he is not against the gathering space, he feels the tax dollars need to be spent wisely. Councilmember Dolan expressed concerns regarding the process and design. He added that he was in favor of the concession building as it would provide additional shade and suggested planting more trees in the area as well. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. The following individuals addressed the Council regarding the Main Street Commons Bathroom Building and Concessions Building Project: • Mr. Don Wisdom, citizen • Mr. Harrold Meeks, citizen • Mr. Kelly Lutz, citizen • Ms. Pam Swenson, citizen • Ms. Bonny Toy, citizen • Mr. Emiliano Torres, citizen • Mr. James Gray, Partnership for Economic Development • Mr. Derrick Jones, citizen Discussion ensued regarding extending the side of the concession building to offer more shade. Lake Havasu City Page 12 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Mayor Sheehy noted that all public spaces in Lake Havasu City have grown in different iterations throughout the years and said there may be different iterations and elements for this space that come forward in the future. Councilmember Campbell expressed concern that the area for the concession building was originally proposed to be a private-public partnership that was to be leased or sold to a private entity to boost tax revenues. She said she liked the look of the concession stand but thought it could be mobile, and thought the City was undervaluing the property by building bathrooms and a concession stand. Discussion ensued regarding the project bid. Mr. Knudson noted that the City combined both items to get the best price; however, the contract could be negotiated if that is the direction of the Council. Discussion ensued regarding the equipment that would be donated by the PED to Main Street Commons and stored in the concession building. Councilmember Lin said she was concerned with the City building a concession stand for the PED to store their equipment. Mayor Sheehy stated that the items would be donated to Lake Havasu City by the PED to be used by anyone using the event space. Councilmember Campbell asked if the PED was still looking into obtaining a liquor license for Nomadic, to which Mr. Gray replied no. She asked if the City was looking into a liquor license for Main Street Commons, to which Mr. Knudson said the City does not have any intention of purchasing a liquor license at this location. He said the venue would be hosted for special events; therefore, promotors and event organizers would handle special event liquor licenses with non-profits. Councilmember Dolan moved to award the base bid for the Main Street Commons Bathroom Building and Concessions Building Project to Merrill Development, Inc., in the amount of $1,059,423, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 4 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan and Councilmember Moses Nay: 3 - Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Diaz and Vice Mayor Lin 7.8 ID 25-4930 Discussion and Action: Purchase of UV Disinfection System Replacement Equipment for the Mulberry Wastewater Treatment Plant from Trojan Technologies Corp (Jason Hart) Lake Havasu City Page 13 Printed on 10/15/2025 City Council Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 Mr. Hart advised that this item is requesting approval to purchase UV disinfection system replacement equipment for the Mulberry Wastewater Treatment Plant with Trojan Technologies in the amount of $705,350. He reviewed the disinfection system process, and said if approved the equipment would take approximately 14 to 16 weeks to arrive, with a project completion date in February 2026. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Councilmember Diaz moved to approve the purchase of the UV Disinfection System Replacement Equipment for the Mulberry Wastewater Treatment Plant from Trojan Technologies Corp, in the amount of $705,350, seconded by Councilmember Dolan, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz, Councilmember Moses and Vice Mayor Lin 8.
