[2:29] Today is Tuesday, September 1st, 2026. We are here for a regular city council meeting. May I have a roll call, please.
[2:38] All council members are present. Thank you. Tonight, our invocation will be done by Pastor Stephen Brown from Praise Chapel, if you wish to join us. Please stand.
[2:54] Father, God, become before you. In these council chambers, to me and discuss the items on today's agenda, your word says to just to do just to love mercy and to walk humble.
[3:03] with you. So I ask you to bless our leaders with wisdom, our city with peace and prosperity,
[3:10] protect those who serve our community. Lord, I ask you to draw us by your spirit. Guide our
[3:15] thoughts and words and decisions as we commit the speeding into your hands. I ask for your guidance
[3:19] in all that we do and Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen. Amen. Please join me in the pledge of allegiance.
[3:39] So
[3:46] this evening, while we don't have listed any presentations or proclamations, I am understanding, I've got the bullhead morning cowanice club here and our lifeguards, and I'd like to invite them up here to the microphone.
[4:01] I understand they've got something to give to the city.
[4:26] And who's speaking for us, Larry?
[4:29] I was chosen.
[4:33] Good evening. My name is Larry Tuneforce with the Bullets City Morning
[4:36] Quannas Club.
[4:37] 25 years ago, our club started a program to keep children safe around water.
[4:43] Adult supervision, fences, and swim lessons reduce childhood drownings.
[4:48] Our club in partnership with the city of Bullets City pays for the
[4:54] to begin our classes.
[4:57] Our United States Center for Disease Control, says the f-
[5:00] Following, ages 1 to 4, drowning is the number 1 cause of death, more children in this age group die from drowning in any other cause. Children 5 to 14, drowning is the number 2 leading cause of unintentional deaths right behind more vehicle collisions.
[5:20] All ages, the CDC estimates that 4,000 fatalities of unintentional drownings occur each year.
[5:27] That's roughly 11 children in our country dying every day from drowning.
[5:31] There's also approximately 8,000 non-fatal drownings in incidences that require emergency room department visits each year.
[5:44] For the summer of 2026, our club tonight, we paid for 649 swim lessons for a total of $12,980,
[5:54] which brings our total over the 25 years to 224,000 and over 11,000 swim lessons.
[6:02] Thank you.
[6:15] My pleasure to accept this check from the Kuanus Club.
[6:18] Excuse me.
[6:19] The morning Kuanus Club, I'm also the Colorado River.
[6:22] I almost did.
[6:23] So what you guys do is an amazing thing, and Kudos to our lifeguards, you guys, you helped
[6:30] save those children's lives, and we appreciate everything you do.
[6:37] Oh, you guys do the instruction as well?
[6:39] All right, Gilbert, did you want to say anything?
[6:42] Come on up.
[6:45] Um, let's you don't know, I'm Gilbert Herrera, I'm the Aquatic Supervisor.
[6:48] Our goal isn't to bring as many kids into the program as we want, like we don't want
[6:52] to go out there and wrap everything the child.
[6:53] We want to focus on the quality of the program that we're offering to our kids.
[6:57] We want them to take away something that they didn't know before, it's not just for them,
[7:02] it's for their parents and that can't be done without our instructors and it can't be done without a program.
[7:07] The morning bonus program.
[7:09] So, a big round of applause to the city and this wonderful group as well.
[7:49] All right, moving on.
[7:50] We're going to open called the public.
[7:53] Call to the public is open for citizens wishing to address the council on issues within the jurisdiction of the city.
[7:59] but not listed on tonight's agenda.
[8:02] Please state your name clearly for the meeting record.
[8:05] And all comments will be limited to three minutes per individual.
[8:09] If you're speaking on behalf of a group present at the meeting,
[8:13] your limit will be five minutes.
[8:14] Please notify Vice Mayor so that he can set the time accordingly.
[8:18] If your comments relate to an item on tonight's agenda,
[8:21] please wait until that item has been called for discussion
[8:24] to address the council.
[8:26] At the conclusion of call to the public, individual members of the council may respond to
[8:32] criticism made by those who have addressed the council, may as staff to review a matter,
[8:38] or have that item put on a future agenda.
[8:41] However members of the council cannot discuss or take action on a matter that's not already
[8:46] on the agenda.
[8:48] A maximum of 30 minutes will be allocated for call to the public.
[8:52] Mr. Lee, I see you're approaching.
[8:56] Thank you, Stephen Lee, Bullhead City.
[8:59] I think we really, as everybody listening,
[9:04] everybody hearing my voice really needs to pay attention
[9:07] to what's happening in government at all levels
[9:11] and we're not doing it.
[9:14] You know, we've got right now in Miami
[9:17] and yes, this relates to local
[9:18] because it's in Miami City Council.
[9:21] just removed a Miami gubernatorial candidate for governor from called of the public
[9:28] for simply asking how it was in the interest of the city council to purchase
[9:36] $450 million of Israeli bonds and how that benefited the people of Miami
[9:42] date. That's just an example of what's going on and we need to make sure that
[9:48] don't go down a slippery slope. I hope everybody
[9:53] researchers and finds out what flock cameras are capable of
[9:58] and it's not just flock.
[10:00] It's axion and a whole bunch of other manufacturers. But these surveillance cameras that aren't
[10:06] just taking pictures of license plates are seeing who goes by. They're tracking and tracing your
[10:13] Bluetooth signal. They are listening to the conversations in your car. They're measuring your heartbeat
[10:20] in your car. They're doing all kinds of fourth amendment intrusions that should absolutely not
[10:27] allowed and I know from talking to Jason that the city doesn't maintain any of these cameras.
[10:35] However, I know that the county does, that law fund does and that bullhead city allows them
[10:44] on private property.
[10:46] I think the council should consider a new law and amendment for a new law to ban completely
[10:55] intrusive surveillance. Intrusive surveillance doesn't mean a security camera that's looking
[11:01] to see who's going to your door if that's all it's doing. We're talking about things
[11:06] where these are being sold to companies, to third parties, to governments and foreign governments
[11:13] who in many cases own these corporations that own these cameras to feed the data into AI,
[11:20] where, in essence, your identity is being quantified.
[11:29] Everything about you is being catalogued,
[11:33] and totally surveilled to the point that it's like,
[11:40] if you are a movie star, and you give up the right to use for the use of your likeness,
[11:45] which I've done, because I've been an actor to that studio,
[11:49] what you're giving up here is much greater.
[11:53] If anyone's interested in uniting,
[11:55] please leave me a message at 928-487-222.
[12:02] And I will call you back.
[12:03] So far, nobody seems to be interested.
[12:06] I hope this changes.
[12:08] It takes up, thank you very much.
[12:18] Good evening, my name is Carol Nelson from Bullhead City.

[20:39] getting better and better day by day. We are hustling to do what we need to do to make great
[20:44] things happen for kids to provide them amazing opportunities. A couple of those things that we're
[20:49] doing right now to provide great opportunities for kids because in order to do that we need we need
[20:54] we need money so we do fundraisers. Coming up October 10th is going to be our John and Olivia McCormick

[21:51] help to make a difference in the lives of young kids. I just want to make sure that's that's clear
[21:55] that's the first and foremost thing that we're doing. I do want to mention that the program is going very
[22:00] well at the boys and girls club right now. We're getting more and more kids by the day. We've recently
[22:04] been fortunate enough to get a lot of donations of food ball tables, ping pong tables, pool tables,
[22:11] cornhold boards, and the kids, a lot of them didn't even know what these things were when they
[22:17] to the club and I can't get them off of them now. They're just totally excited about that.
[22:21] So they're coming to the club, they're having fun, they're playing sports,
[22:24] they're doing STEM projects, they're getting homework help, and they get food every day.
[22:29] They get a meal or two, whatever they need at the Boys & Girls Club every day at every club
[22:34] for every kid from five years old to 18. Any of them can come in there and get fed every day.
[22:39] So I just want to thank everybody out there for supporting the Boys & Girls Club.
[22:43] If anybody wants to get involved with any of these fundraisers that we have,
[22:47] Please give me a call at 908-273-802.
[22:52] I do want to mention the frightening fall fiesta sponsors, of course it's hosted by the Aquarius, but we have M.J.B. Power, outsource utility contractor, the gravel pit,
[23:01] die of enterprises, new core, Chad and Debbie Hunter, and McCormick construction. They're amazing.
[23:06] And once again, we will be selling $100 tickets for a $10,000 giveaways, so if anybody wants one of those, just give me a call, we'd be happy to sell you one.
[23:14] And the teams that are going to be participating in the Fiesta will be Rotary Club of
[23:18] Wood City Rotary Club of Waffle.
[23:19] I hope you sunrise Rotary Club.
[23:20] Reach as you can see.
[23:21] You know Aquarius.
[23:22] Don't know if there's Riverside Resort.
[23:23] He's just 95 and River Dogs.
[23:25] Thank you very much.
[23:26] Thank you very much.
[23:27] Thank you.
[23:28] Thank you.
[23:30] Next.
[23:37] I have a.
[23:39] Can you tell us your name personally?
[23:40] Yes.
[23:41] I apologize.
[23:42] Misty Divinity.
[23:42] I'm like a phone down a little bit.
[23:44] Then we can hear you better.
[23:45] Thank you.
[23:46] Misty Divinity Bullhead City.
[23:48] I come before you because I heard of this afternoon about the day to center, and I was going to prepare a motoratorium to delay it for a year, but I talked to Kitty at the French connection and felt that this was a better way that the residents win and the city wins and it continues growth.
[24:12] of prepared a five-patch package that I handed the officer because I didn't know if I could
[24:19] hand it to you.
[24:21] Okay.
[24:22] So can we pass that out and stop the time just so people can see the last page?
[24:30] Thank you, Mayor, and Councilman.
[24:34] I'm asking a request motion to place on the agenda, the regular meeting of September 15,
[24:43] the first reading of an ordinance, adding chapter 13.60 in substantially the form of this
[24:51] packet, and as revised, but city attorney, I put a disclaimer on the front, I just did
[24:58] this within the last hour.
[25:02] Prepare a free schedule resolution establishing the construction water rate, construction water resource fee, and a meter deposit. Prepare before and grant grading permits, hydrant meter, water allocation, or building permit for the data center. Now under review, a development agreement containing terms in section 5 of this packet.
[25:27] and issue no unmeted city water and no new data center allocation from contract number
[25:38] 20730273 in the interim without council review.
[25:45] As you guys know, there's a new data center
[25:47] coming. This request isn't to stop city center housing or hotels or already have development
[25:53] agreement, it's to keep the cost of the industrial project and the cost of wetting new dirt
[25:59] of household water bills and off of household electrical bills. First, the Deity Center
[26:06] should not use the city. Colorado's River Eleculation for Desk Control, where for cooling,
[26:12] construction water, and cooling water both from the same source supply, resident streak.
[26:17] If the project is self-contained, it can prove its own water source before, it grades the
[26:24] lot.
[26:24] Second, electricity for a data center is not free, because the city does not own the
[26:30] power company, new substations and transmissions are paid by someone.
[26:38] If the applicant does not post security and accept a non-subsidy contract with Mojave Electric
[26:46] Cooperative or Universe source. Those concepts here on members electric bills.
[26:50] I'm sorry, you're so good. Thank you very much.
[26:57] Thank you. Next.
[27:04] Good evening Mayor Counselants staff. I'm Julie Hassett with Colorado River Concerts.
[27:09] Colorado River Concerts has been bringing big entertainment to our small town for 52 years.
[27:15] Beginning November 5th with the best of Broadway, the music of Andrew Lloyd Weber and more.
[27:20] featuring Terry Barber and a national countertenor who will be joined by a stunning cast
[27:25] performing your favorites from Phantom of the Opera and more. Our season continues for three
[27:30] more shows in January, February and March. We skip December because everybody's too busy during

[27:57] management company and Nashville, and the season
[28:00] selections are usually made by our board of directors.
[28:04] However, on several occasions over the years,
[28:06] we have had great fun by inviting a variety of people
[28:09] from our community to share their opinions and influence
[28:13] the musical performances for our future seasons.
[28:17] On September 24th, you will have this opportunity for your voice to be heard.

[29:48] Next.
[29:51] Hello, Steven Brown. I'm the Executive Director of the Bullhead Regional Food Bank.
[29:55] September is hunger action month. I wanted to get up and just remind everybody what we...
[30:00] We are doing in the community. Our mission at the food bank is to build a stronger community by feeding and supporting families.
[30:06] That's what we're about. We're in our second year of capital projects. I know that they're going to be talking a little bit more about it.
[30:12] And the manager's report. But with the help of the BHHS Legacy Foundation, we're able to expand our projects and everything that we are doing and moving into our new facility at the end of the month.
[30:23] So we'll be able to streamline our operations and better serve our community.
[30:28] We want to make sure that nobody goes hungry in our community.
[30:32] And with it being hunger action month, we're doing a call to the public.
[30:35] We need help as much as we can if you can't volunteer your time.
[30:39] Like our very own genome yield does.
[30:41] And delivers hundreds of boxes to our local community out of his own truck.
[30:44] We appreciate you.
[30:46] The Colorado River Women's Republic of Women's Council that comes in volunteers.
[30:49] There's so many different civic groups that come and give their time to be able to give back.
[30:55] Our website is bullheadfoodbink.org.
[30:58] We love to have you go on there, subscribe to our newsletter, check out the good things
[31:02] that we are doing in the community.
[31:04] We want to thank the city for their ongoing support and everything that you guys do for
[31:07] us as well.
[31:08] So thank you very much.
[31:09] It will be looking forward to seeing you at the Bullhead Regional Food Bank.
[31:13] Thank you.
[31:25] Next.
[31:26] Scottie from Bullhead.
[31:27] You've already started the clock.
[31:32] I get to hold three minutes. God, I'm glad you've got on the left
[31:37] Bye
[31:40] You do this every time you started before I even start. They can't have a city city council
[31:49] Just move their call to the public back to the start of the meeting
[31:54] I guess they caught a little bit of flat from the public about having a move. They're not in the now long that they move it
[32:01] Now, we're going to just get the board of stoperpizers to move there, call the public back to the start.
[32:10] In fact, they need to have it first and last.
[32:14] Somebody can come in and noon and still do it at the end of the meeting.
[32:20] But they won't do it. It'd been brought up again and they just whatever.
[32:25] I guess they don't believe in free speech.
[32:29] And Karen, I remember that day you cut the call of the public short.
[32:36] You came in that door over there and you stopped and said, Scotty, I hope you behave yourself tonight.
[32:43] Exact words, quote.
[32:46] I had no idea you were setting me up.
[32:49] Tell me you got the new cameras going that I've been gripping about the years.
[32:53] You were hoping I'd blow up and do this to you or something.
[32:57] Well, yeah, we left, we weren't about to just set up and go to jail that night, because
[33:04] of your call of the public 30 minute crap,
[33:11] I'm still pissed about that,
[33:15] something like
[33:16] camera Harris would do,
[33:28] isn't we used to go last, was just to be encouraged to these other
[33:32] people, like rotary, quannas or saints or replicas, because they get up and they go home.
[33:37] We were being nice to him and now we got to fight to go first. I'm still going to go last so they can go home and do
[33:45] maybe they need to cook dinner or something.
[33:50] Whatever.
[33:53] Thank you. Next,
[33:57] seeing no one rise.
[33:58] I'm going to close called to the public.
[34:05] Are there any agenda modifications?
[34:07] The matter here, I like to make a motion to weigh the reading full of all ordinances and resolutions.
[34:12] Presented for adoption. That's just me in a second.
[34:16] Yes, you vote, please.
[34:21] Pour in favor of the motion.
[34:22] Want to pose motion carries.
[34:26] Next we have our managers report.
[34:28] Thank you.
[34:29] Mayor Delman County members.
[34:31] Good evening.
[34:31] The evening.
[34:32] We have some really cool items to present.
[34:34] To council in the community.
[34:36] The council had a workshop a few months ago.
[34:39] And one of the overwhelming themes was getting our seniors closer to the senior center.
[34:44] via the transit system. So tonight our human services director Jeff Tipton has an announcement to make.
[34:50] Thank you, Mr. Cotter, Madam Mayor Council. Happy to announce that on starting Friday, September 4th, our transit bus.
[35:00] Next up has been relocated into the senior enrichment center area. Buses will pull in to the parking lot and be right at the 88 accessible sidewalk, and they'll be at the senior enrichment center at 36 minutes after the hour. They have a scheduled layover, probably about five minutes, so for unloading, loading and also our drivers can take their break.
[35:28] I'd like to thank the transit staff for making that happen and also public works for
[35:34] leveling out the south in parking lot so the buses could get in with no issues.
[35:39] Also, we have a transit shelter so to be shaded, has the bench and everything we appreciate everyone's help on that
[35:49] and excited to bring that amenity to the senior enrichment center.
[35:53] Thank you Jeff, appreciate that.
[35:55] The next item this evening, Council and Community, I've asked our public work director to give us sort of a recap of what we've been doing with the right turn lanes,
[36:06] all the construction that you've seen in town, the dollars that have been spent, so that we can understand where we are,
[36:13] and where we still have to go. So Ms. Johnson, if you could present that item.
[36:17] Thank you, Mr. Carter. Mayor and Council.
[36:20] Tonight, I'm excited to share with you where we're at, how much we've spent, and what we have on the books to start designing.
[36:31] So this is the right turn lane project update.
[36:35] So Loughlan Ranch, right turn lane.
[36:38] The overall cost for this project, that design construction testing, was 500, 1,97440.
[36:48] There's a couple pictures, this is just looking southbound coming into the right turn lane at LaFlan Ranch Boulevard.
[36:58] Safeway right turn lane. Safeway right turn lane. The overall cost, these are final numbers.
[37:04] We've actually the contractors, we've done final payments and stuff like that, or we're currently doing it.
[37:10] So the overall cost for the right turn lane on Safeway was $2,770,472 and 83 cents.
[37:20] We do have our contractors coming back in on Thursday night this week.
[37:25] There is a little bit of some warranty work that we need them to fix on a couple of the
[37:30] right turn arrows.
[37:31] They're starting to peel off so we're going to do a different type of striping.
[37:35] This is just a picture of Plata where the East Shore villas were the drainage structures at and also where the bus stop is at the dual left turns on to Highway 95
[37:48] This is also looking on Plata with a right, a through and a right and a left turn
[37:57] This is on Highway 95
[38:00] So all three intersections on Highway 95 are right in, right out, restricted, so that safeway,
[38:08] Burger King, and Wells Fargo.
[38:13] Thunderstruck, right turn lane.
[38:16] This overall construction cost was $399,994 in 19 cents.
[38:23] This one is over by the school, and kind of by Perkins.
[38:29] Mojave Drive right turn lane.
[38:32] This overall project cost was $45,069.74.
[38:41] And this is a picture McKenzie-Seam was able to get an aerial
[38:45] for me from right before we opened the project.
[38:49] Rising stone, stone, sterling, and central right turn lanes.
[38:53] Over all costs for this project was $490,000,000 or $50,000 and $20,000 and $20,000.
[39:01] So the picture on the left is central.
[39:04] The picture on the right is rising sun.
[39:07] And this picture is sterling.
[39:13] Meadows drive a south-bound right turn lane.
[39:17] We currently have the design done,
[39:19] waiting for bid documents.
[39:21] and this one hopefully will be out to bed within, I don't know, within the next six months.
[39:28] This is just an aerial picture of the location, so it sounds bound right turn lane into,
[39:35] onto Meadows Drive.
[39:39] Bullet Parkway, NSR-95. This is an eastbound right turn lane going eastbound
[39:46] right turn northbound on to Highway 95.
[39:49] Currently, we have just a little bit of the design, it's 10,000.
[39:55] Currently, working with the National Park Service, making sure we have enough right away, looking like we...
[40:00] So that's great news. And we'll also have to work with aid out on this project, because 68 is aid. That's right, of way.
[40:09] Total funds from aid out was $8 million. Current amounts expense to date.
[40:15] $4,631,155,000 and $27,000 remaining funds, $3,368,000, $3,368,000, $1,155,000 and $57.
[40:32] I'm also just going to also talk about City Center ID right turnling.
[40:36] This is not part of our 8 million, but I just want to let the public know that the project
[40:41] is substantially completed. We just have a little bit of striping left. This project was awarded
[40:47] for 1.6 million. We're coming in under budget final payment of like 1.3 and some change.
[40:54] So this is just a couple pictures. This project also, there's right in right out.
[41:00] These lands will be combed until we actually get the roadway improvements into connect to the other
[41:07] streets and I stand for any questions. Any questions?
[41:15] What are you doing at Bullhead Parkway in
[41:17] 95? I are in 68. Bullhead Parkway we're looking at putting in a right turn lane so last
[41:24] bound towards the bridge but northbound onto 68 because we mean with the big trucks and stuff like
[41:31] that it'll help ease of congestion right there. Mayor Dalman, Angie just a quick question about
[41:36] testing costs, what goes into testing?
[41:39] So the testing is testing the concrete, it's testing the base, it's making sure that our
[41:44] densities are proper. So it's like baking a cake and you forget to put flour in and then
[41:51] it flops. So we got to make sure that the roadway itself is 95 to 100%
[41:57] compaction before we actually put the pavement on. Also making sure the asphalt is tested right
[42:03] to make sure that we're getting the proper density, the proper mixed design, the concrete.
[42:08] So all of the light poles and stuff, they all have a certain tensile strength.
[42:15] So we actually do breaks to see how strong the concrete is.
[42:20] So that's what testing is involved.
[42:22] Thank you.
[42:23] Yep.
[42:24] Excellent.
[42:24] Inbidials?
[42:26] Thank you, Mayor Dolman, and appreciate that and Kudos to Angie, her team, the engineers.
[42:31] I promise you, all of that for 4.5 million is amazing and that's why the money came to the city.
[42:41] That's why the state and their wisdom, the advocacy of former Mayor Brady, former Mayor
[42:47] Dumego, Travis Pruitt, giving the city $8 million goes at least twice maybe three times as far
[42:54] as where it would go if it were done by A.D. It's one of the primary reasons we took over
[42:59] this highway, those of you have driven past Safeway,
[43:03] use the right turn lanes at any that we're just shown.
[43:05] It is absolutely helping the flow of traffic.
[43:09] Safeway is a different road now.
[43:11] And so we still have some more work to do
[43:13] and because we're doing it through our folks
[43:15] and our bidding process, we still have $3 million left.
[43:19] So we still have some great projects we can do.
[43:22] And I'm sure our former mayor who's sitting out in the audience
[43:25] will be very happy.
[43:27] It's two that were mentioned.
[43:28] And I think we're high on his priority list from the very beginning.
[43:32] We're still able to get those done, and still have money left over to do a few more.
[43:37] I think we still would like to advocate to our newly elected officials in Phoenix that we
[43:43] need more money, because we can do great things with this money.
[43:46] And I think we have a packet that you just saw that we'll be able to show to others that
[43:51] local government, like Bullhead City, can get a great project done.
[43:55] many great projects done and being very efficient.
[43:59] So, more to come on the right turn links,
[44:01] but we wanted to give you sort of a halfway statement now
[44:07] that we've made it here and safeway is done.
[44:10] So, I appreciate that.
[44:12] The next on my list, we're going to talk about the League of Cities
[44:15] and Towns Conference, and then we're going to lean into the 80H
[44:18] Ward, so Travis, we're going to Travis Go.
[44:23] Travis had to go somewhere I saw him walking out, but I'll take that and I know he's got a video to share.
[44:30] He was with the mayor at the awards ceremony, but some of the council members and staff had an opportunity to go to the League of Cities and Towns Conference last week.
[44:38] It's a networking and educational session filled with, you know, four days really full of immersing in local government issues.
[44:47] I don't know if the mayor if you wanted to say anything else on that, but all of the topics that are hot in Arizona were covered and it was a great opportunity for the council and for staff to learn, see.
[45:00] Here, and become part of the solutions in our community and across the state. And again, if anybody wants to chime in on that, feel free.
[45:09] Well, I personally do want to say something because I did have the privilege to be a part of the gamma meeting, which is the Greater Arizona Mayor's Association and Senator Markility, who is there talking.
[45:22] and we were able to talk to him about putting on his radar
[45:27] some funds that we're looking for for Bullhead City,
[45:31] and he listened to us, which is really nice.
[45:33] So that was one of the most positive things
[45:35] I got out of that conference.
[45:37] Thank you.
[45:38] Anybody else have?
[45:40] Yes.
[45:40] Okay.
[45:41] Great.
[45:41] Thank you for that.
[45:43] And lastly, on my report,
[45:45] the 80OH CDBG development of the year,
[45:48] the city was fortunate to be awarded this award.
[45:54] The mayor has the trophy in front of her.
[45:57] There's also a banner here to our right.
[46:00] I guess you're right, our left and also there's a video
[46:04] that Jeff Tippedon is the star of.
[46:06] So if we could play that video and this was played at the luncheon.
[46:10] So it's a great video if we can play that real quick.
[46:14] The bullhead regional food bank has served as bullhead cities
[46:17] main area food bank hub for 24 years, but their life-changing work has been complicated by some
[46:24] major site access and storage challenges.
[46:28] There were some cracks in the asphalt, there was some pot holes, just it could not sustain
[46:33] that the semi-trucks that we were getting in for food.
[46:37] They were putting food outside, especially the non-perishable, but it also impacted how long
[46:44] the food lasted.
[46:45] After COVID, need in the Tri-State area around the city increased and so did incoming food deliveries.
[46:53] But with only one storage facility, there was no more capacity.
[46:58] It was then 80 away toward the city, CDBG funds for a much needed expansion.
[47:03] With our expansion project, we were able to get a pre-fab metal building that was 40 feet by 100 feet and 20 feet tall,
[47:12] so that we could install steel for additional holding power.
[47:16] Also, we were able to redo the entry into the food bank,
[47:19] and we were able to do 16,000 square feet of asphalt
[47:22] and extend the asphalt on past the new facility.
[47:26] So, we actually doubled our space.
[47:29] Before the expansion, the food bank was distributing
[47:31] between 9 and 12,000 pounds of food to 300 people each week.
[47:37] Since doubling their storage capacity
[47:39] With a new 4,000 square foot warehouse, the results have been nothing short of astounding.
[47:46] With this project, we're able to provide 80 to 120,000 pounds of food to 1,200 to 1,400 people each week.
[47:55] Now, the food bank is impacting even more lives with greater access, capacity, and efficiency.
[48:02] Both the clients and the volunteers who work there are seeing the benefits.
[48:05] It helps get food out more efficiently, more safe, the clients actually love it,
[48:12] and get more food, and it's really making a difference in our community.
[48:17] Way to go. Nice video. That's awesome.
[48:23] So Travis and the mayor were able to attend the luncheon on Friday, and so Travis,
[48:29] if you don't mind kicking that off, and the mayor, if you would like to talk about that, please.
[48:34] Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. So first of all, thank you to Jeff for all the hard work,
[48:38] and getting that done and getting that across the finish line.
[48:43] So we went down, the mayor received the award for the effort.
[48:49] But I was just saying, you know, as we were there, I was talking to people and kind of sharing
[48:52] our story and the things we got through in here in Bullhead City, and I can tell you,
[48:56] the people down there, there were people from all different walks of life cities, it was huge,
[49:02] tons of people there, they were very impressible ahead city, and I was talking to people
[49:08] sharing stories about community and how we all connect. We come together. We help each other out.
[49:14] So just in general, people thought they were very impressed with this effort, and the award
[49:19] absolutely deserved. So the mayor came up, did a really good speech, told them about Boyhead City,
[49:24] and everything we go through there. So she did a fantastic job. So thank you. Appreciate it. That was it.
[49:30] Thank you, Travis. Yes, so the award does say it's a Brian Nicholson Housing Hero Award.
[49:37] Most of the awards given out were given to
[49:41] Developments and community groups that were putting together housing and we we were lucky to get the CDBG development of the year
[49:50] Fund because of the expansion of the food bank and everything and I want to say thank you to Jeff for what an amazing job
[49:57] He did with that wonderful
[49:58] video
[50:00] Great picture of pastor right there in the beginning. I love that. So, and we were complimented. People at this conference weren't just from Arizona. They were nationally. I met people from everywhere and they're very impressive bullhead and I kept saying bullhead always does it the best, just saying. So, thank you.
[50:20] Thank you and that concludes my report. Thank you.
[50:24] All right. Thank you.
[50:26] We are moving on to Mayor and Council members reports. I'm going to start down here on my right.
[50:32] Right along with what was just said, the Bullhead City Regional Food Bank doesn't need volunteers.
[50:38] There are a core group of people that come every day to try to help out.
[50:42] It doesn't take a whole lot of work on your part. The volunteer. You can fill baskets.
[50:46] You could fill boxes. You could fill bags. We always need people down there. Second we go on along with that
[50:54] I got a couple of volunteers from the Veterans Court and some people that I know that helped me drive around the deliver food to people in Bullhead
[51:01] So I go all over the area along with that. There is a
[51:06] meeting I believe it's Thursday at three to four at the senior center for the
[51:11] walk what's it called to watch?
[51:16] It's river watch.
[51:17] River watch.
[51:18] Yes.
[51:19] That's going on.
[51:20] When I'm out there delivering food to some of these people, I might be the only person
[51:24] that they see for a week, sometimes, that they look forward to me and my buddies going
[51:30] out there and dropping food off that we do have a need for this program so if you could volunteer
[51:34] with that, it's all of this is a phone call to check in on sick and elderly people that
[51:40] don't really have a whole lot of family members out there.
[51:43] Well, the things hand in hand could use your help with both of them.
[51:46] Thank you.
[51:48] Mayor Dom, thank you.
[51:50] I forgot to mention this at the last council meeting, but I just wanted to say congratulations
[51:54] to all the packed academy graduates.
[51:56] That's a great program and good on you guys for participating.
[52:01] And a special thanks goes out to Park's Commissioner, Kenya Kribb.
[52:06] Thanks for everything you've contributed to Bullhit City, and we wish you the best on your new adventures.
[52:12] Thank you.
[52:15] I just want to reiterate how proud I am of Angie and her right turn lanes.
[52:22] The city looks completely different and we did have a great time at the Lake Cities.
[52:28] I got a couple of classes that I really enjoyed were on water and it was very informative.
[52:36] Thank you.
[52:39] So, I want to reiterate something that Gene said, and that is that they're doing a basically
[52:48] a launch for the River Watch program, which is a group of people from the City from the
[52:54] Senior Center.
[52:55] We've all gotten together, Tri-Stake Cares has partnered with them, and we are the ones
[53:00] that are funding.
[53:01] The program, it's actually, we just sign the seniors up and it is a system that will contact the people if they're not responding within a certain period of time then we would send somebody out to their home their emergency contact.
[53:17] So we don't need volunteers to call people, but we will need help signing up some of our more fragile seniors out there. Thank you.
[53:26] All right, nothing else I need if there's no items to be withdrawn from the consent agenda.
[53:33] I need a motion please.
[53:35] Madam Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to accept the consent agenda as stated.
[53:41] Please cast your votes.
[53:44] Six in favour of the motion motion carries.
[53:49] All right, moving right along.
[53:52] Item two.
[53:54] Item number two, this is a public hearing,
[53:56] discussion and possible action to approve the preliminary condominium
[53:59] plat or a project known as Stonebridge Storage condominiums located at 1
[54:03] one one seven five-shap or L drive and described as shap or L terrace track
[54:08] four zero two zero partial L and a portion of partial K section twenty nine
[54:13] township twenty north range twenty two west bullhead city Arizona subject to
[54:18] the schedule of development.
[54:20] Minimum air council members are planning manager Johnny Laura will present
[54:23] this item.
[54:27] Good evening, Mayor and Council.
[54:29] As was noted, this is a request for approval of the preliminary condo platform for this
[54:33] project known as Stombridge Storage, located at 1175, Sheperal Drive.
[54:37] So the building, which is currently under construction, contains a total of 29 storage units,
[54:42] and the site will include Driveways, Landscape being a Trash and Closure, and limited
[54:46] dispensing at the rear of the building to secure that back of that structure.
[54:49] All the common elements outside the building will be owned and maintained by an owner association.
[54:53] If approved, the applicant will submit a final plot which will be required to comply with the stipulations of a
[55:00] The approval of the conditional use permit approved by the Planning Commission, and by Council, and I think it was May of 2025, which includes the restrictions, limiting sales of the units to residents of Shaper Altairus and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
[55:14] The commission did recommend approval on the 6-1 vote. I stand for any questions.
[55:19] Any questions? All in our Tain emotion, then please.
[55:24] This is a public hearing.
[55:26] Anybody from the public wish to comment on this?
[55:29] All right, I'll take that motion then. Thank you.
[55:31] Motion to approve item two as well.
[55:33] Second.
[55:34] Cached votes.
[55:36] Six in favor of the motion motion carries.
[55:40] Item three.
[55:41] Item number three discussion and possible action to approve the final condominium
[55:44] plaque for La Jolla village condominiums.
[55:47] Track 5176 and authorize the mayor to sign all accompanying documents.
[55:53] Madam Mayor and council members, our planning manager, Jonny Laura will present this item as well.
[56:00] Mayor and Council another condo, but this one's residential.
[56:04] This is the final condo plant for the project known as La Hoya Village.
[56:07] That is located in the intersection of McCormick Boulevard and Indian Hedrive.
[56:11] I think the actual address is 810, Indian Hedrive.
[56:13] So this project consists of six existing four-plex buildings for a total of 24 units that are proposed to be converted into condominiums.
[56:21] All elements of the common area, including the parking, driveways, landscaping, will be owned and maintained by the owner's association.
[56:28] No changes to zoning every proposed, no additional parking is required, the project was built in around 2006, and they meet the current parking requirements.
[56:37] Stand for any questions.
[56:39] Any questions?
[56:40] No.
[56:41] Okay.
[56:42] Vice Mayor.
[56:42] Yeah, Johnny, on this, on the drawing it shows that there's one way in and one way out only for the six or
[56:51] No, but one, it doesn't look like there's enough spots for visitors.
[56:55] They're never our department complexes.
[56:58] That's the number one.
[56:58] Number two, I know that's a given.
[57:01] Is there a, since there's only one way in and out?
[57:04] Is that created a bit of a problem with the fire department as far as access?
[57:08] The project was approved in 2006 by the fire department.
[57:12] So as part of the condo, we don't go back out to the fire department.
[57:14] We send them a notice that it's happening, but they had no comments on this.
[57:18] So I think they're approval for most of the things that still stands.
[57:21] As far as the parking goes, our requirement is two and a quarter of spaces per unit.
[57:25] And I think that 54 spaces there, which meets the requirement.
[57:28] Thank you very much.
[57:30] Thank you.
[57:31] So my question, Johnny, is this building these buildings are 18 to 20 years old?
[57:38] And they're currently have renters in them.
[57:42] So I guess it sounds very New York to me.
[57:44] How does this work, and you may not know, but when they go to condos, do they go to the current owners, go to the renters and say, hey, do you want to buy this or?
[57:56] Yeah, I'm not sure. I mean, we see condos out there where the original owner owns pretty much all the condos, so I think they want the option to sell them if somebody wants to buy them.
[58:05] But there are quite a few out there where they're owned by one party.
[58:09] Thank you.
[58:11] Anyone else?
[58:12] Anybody from the audience?
[58:14] All right.
[58:14] I'll take a motion then, please.
[58:17] I'll motion to approve item number three.
[58:19] Cash roads?
[58:21] Six in favour of the motion.
[58:23] Motion carries.
[58:24] Item four.
[58:25] Item number four.
[58:26] Discussion and possible action.
[58:28] Do approve one.
[58:28] The final clap for a residence at Parkside.
[58:31] Track 517001.
[58:33] An authorizing the mayor to execute the final
[58:35] on behalf of the city and to approve the cash financial assurance through the subdivision financial assurance agreement.
[58:41] Residents at Parkside Track 517-0 Unit 1 and authorize the city manager to execute the agreement.
[58:49] Madam Mayor, council members, our plenty manager, Johnny Laurel, present this as well.
[58:53] The developer is here on this particular item and one thing before Johnny's presentation.
[58:59] I had a conversation with council member Smith before this and some of you just over time in general.
[59:04] You know, people wonder, you know, development that occurs in water allocations that are granted,
[59:11] you know, how is the city doing with its water?
[59:14] I recently spoke to the Colorado River, women's group 150 strong probably, and one of those
[59:19] one of the questions they had as well, how does new development tie into our water allocation?
[59:26] So, we have approximately 45,000 people in Bullhead City.
[59:31] water allocation would support 145,000 people. So we're significantly less than our allocation.
[59:40] Numbers don't really mean anything to people when you say we have 30,000 acre feet of water
[59:45] and we're using less than half of it. But when I say we have 45,000 people and we can grow to
[59:51] 140,000 approximate people understand that. Now most people don't want us to add 100,000 people
[59:58] It's a bullhead city.
[1:00:00] Of course, that could take decades in the making, but the city has a water allocation that it paid for, that it planned for over many, many years since the city was formed in 1984.
[1:00:13] In fact, when I came back as the city manager in 2010, one of the main reasons we were struggling financially is because we bought a whole bunch of water.
[1:00:22] And so the city has been planning for this development for a very, very long time.
[1:00:29] So there's also other things such as our reclaimed water that can be put to higher and better uses.
[1:00:36] So I only say that before a new development, which is slightly off the agenda, but people might be asking,
[1:00:42] where's the water come from?
[1:00:44] Well, again, the city planned for development since 1984 when it incorporated.
[1:00:49] And that's how we have water allocations to do these projects and others.
[1:00:55] So again, little off base, I want to turn it back over to Johnny for the presentation.
[1:00:59] But if anybody out there's wondering, where does the water come from, it comes from the Colorado River,
[1:01:04] and we have a substantial allocation to the river.
[1:01:09] Thank you, Mr. Carter.
[1:01:10] Mayor Council.
[1:01:11] Again, request for approval of the final plat for residences at Parkside Unit 1,
[1:01:16] which is the subdivision that is currently under construction just out of us here at City Hall.
[1:01:19] So Council previously approved a final plan to create the one large parcel that's there now that could have been utilized for the construction of a built to rent community on one big parcel.
[1:01:29] The water was allocated at that time for the subdivision.
[1:01:33] So the developer is now proposing to subdivide the 13.9 acre parcel into 102 single-family residential lots and working with the builder that intends to build the homes that will be offered for sale to the public.
[1:01:44] Based on previous PADD zoning approval, the lots range and size from 4,000 square foot minimum up to, I think the largest lot is about 6,500 square feet.
[1:01:55] Can that build or has submitted standard plans for review?
[1:01:58] The floor plans that I've been submitted to date are from the, about 1,000 and 30 square feet range up to about 1,470 square feet range.
[1:02:06] And they will be putting up signs here pretty soon that state that their prices will start in the 200 in case anyone's interested.
[1:02:12] All streets and the easements are being dedicated to the public, the HOA will maintain landscaping
[1:02:16] along the arena boulevard there.
[1:02:21] There is a lot a little bit of work to be done there yet.
[1:02:24] They're putting up a cash bond.
[1:02:25] I think for around $94,000 for some improvements for street lights and stop bars and a few
[1:02:30] other things.
[1:02:31] As was mentioned, the developers here, if you have any questions for him or I stand for questions
[1:02:34] as well.
[1:02:36] Any questions?
[1:02:41] putting in there.
[1:02:42] So I built a lot of $4,000,000, $5,500.
[1:02:45] So this admitted several standard plans.
[1:02:46] I think five or six so far.
[1:02:49] And the smallest one I saw was a 1,000, 30 square feet and the largest one was 1,470.
[1:02:54] That doesn't mean that there might not be other models that they might submit for that
[1:02:57] development.
[1:02:57] But that's what they've submitted to date.
[1:03:00] Thank you very much.
[1:03:03] Okay.
[1:03:04] Johnny, you said that the streets were going to be dedicated to the public.
[1:03:07] I seemed to remember at planning when this 100 years ago came to planning that the street
[1:03:14] tour is going to remain private.
[1:03:16] That's when it was a single parcel where it would have been a built-in built-in right
[1:03:19] community.
[1:03:21] It would have been private streets but now that they're going to do individual lots for sale,
[1:03:25] they're dedicating the streets to the public.
[1:03:26] Thank you.
[1:03:28] All right.
[1:03:29] Any other questions?
[1:03:32] Come on up.
[1:03:38] Good evening again.
[1:03:39] My name is Harvey.
[1:03:40] the state of Arizona just had a 29% cut in their water allocation for the whole out of
[1:03:46] the Colorado River. So my question really is Mr. Carter, you keep saying we got an allocation
[1:03:53] for 142,000 people out of the Colorado River. That number's just been cut by 29%. So what's
[1:04:01] our real number now? It does affect it. So what is our allocation now for the city of Bullhead?
[1:04:10] So, our allocation has not changed.
[1:04:13] The state plans to sue Nevada is suing.
[1:04:18] Everyone is fighting over this water, right?
[1:04:20] So, we know what we have.
[1:04:22] We know what our allocation is.
[1:04:24] It's 30,000 acre feet.
[1:04:25] It's enough for well over 100,000 people.
[1:04:29] But we're no different than Scottsdale, right?
[1:04:31] We're no different than Paradise Valley.
[1:04:34] Except we're right here on the river,
[1:04:36] and we're first to take the water out.
[1:04:39] Now, that doesn't give us any more credibility than Scottsdale or Paradise Valley, but what I will say is we have an entitlement, we have water rights, and now that the state and federal government have made some decisions, it seems like we're heading to lawsuits galore, but at this point in time, we have not seen anything.
[1:05:00] A single cut. Now, we're being told that there will be cuts in the rising. We all know what's happening
[1:05:06] with water at Lake Pleasant. They're excuse me, Lake Meade. And so, where does that leave us 10 years
[1:05:13] from now? Three years from now? In these allocations, I would say very clearly, we have 30,000 acre
[1:05:21] feet of water enough for well over 100,000 people. But to your point, those cuts and these lawsuits
[1:05:28] And is it raining, snowing, and the rockies right now?
[1:05:31] All these things come into play.
[1:05:33] It's a little off topic for tonight's meeting, though.
[1:05:37] But every time we talk about development,
[1:05:39] everybody's talking about water, right?
[1:05:42] It's a logical question.
[1:05:44] It's a logical conversation.
[1:05:46] We have an entitlement.
[1:05:48] We believe that entitlement is true.
[1:05:50] It's real, and it's available for development.
[1:05:54] and I do appreciate this and yes it is a little bit off topic but it is still on this
[1:06:00] topic. 29% from 142,000, you know, now you're just getting barely over 100,000 people.
[1:06:08] What happened for the next cut is that going to put, you know, that's going to put us under
[1:06:12] 100,000 people. These cuts and that's not counting the cuts from the past because this
[1:06:20] 29% is only just cut.
[1:06:22] We haven't cut some previous years.
[1:06:25] Have not been counted into your 142,000.
[1:06:28] They have not.
[1:06:29] So it does raise an alarm and question,
[1:06:33] and I'm sure it's some later date.
[1:06:35] Well, we'll be happy to put it on a future agenda
[1:06:37] because we also have things like the reclaimed water
[1:06:40] to add to this conversation,
[1:06:42] which is a substantial amount of water
[1:06:44] and other things that Mark Clark can talk to us about.
[1:06:48] So we'll definitely bring it back.
[1:06:49] that would be beautiful. Thank you very much Mr. Carter. Thank you.
[1:06:54] Thank you. Anybody else?
[1:07:04] Got you from bow ahead.
[1:07:07] Toby, the only people that are going to win are the lawyers.
[1:07:14] We are not going to beat the hell out of Washington DC. We're going to get this cut. The only water
[1:07:21] we're going to have is that sewer water. I won't be around for that, but the
[1:07:32] Well, here's the only one that's going to win.
[1:07:34] Nevada is a joke.
[1:07:35] They're going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars
[1:07:37] on all these three states, California, and joining in.
[1:07:40] We'll join in because our board is supervised as well.
[1:07:44] Approved.
[1:07:45] Think they already have set money aside for this.
[1:07:50] But I remember going across Hoover Dam back in the 70s.
[1:07:55] When it was full, through the Brem, overflowing.
[1:08:01] And what happened was they don't rent another 30 years and it's dry, oh we're going to have
[1:08:06] a sewer water. The lawyers would be rich enough to buy it alone.
[1:08:14] Anyone else?
[1:08:28] I'm your first Smith in the Bullhead City for 54 years.
[1:08:33] One thing I noticed about what this new development going on.
[1:08:36] They did not continue to train straight through.
[1:08:39] Is our reason why?
[1:08:44] believe and we can we can address that the improvement district and you probably know the answer I believe
[1:08:50] So it's actually going to be a bonus way is going to be the main street that goes through we have an improvement district
[1:08:57] Project that is coming like very very soon
[1:09:01] So it will it's like within the next 30 days
[1:09:04] The other question I have is with all these right turns going in to safely
[1:09:11] or lack of left-hand turns.
[1:09:17] The majority of your people that are shopping there
[1:09:19] are coming north to get into that store
[1:09:23] and now there's only one entrance
[1:09:25] and let's say go all the way down
[1:09:27] just before the stop light
[1:09:29] at Silver Creek to turn and drive back.
[1:09:34] Why is that?
[1:09:35] Charles, on that particular issue,
[1:09:39] I'm sorry, that is not this item but we're happy to talk to you after the meeting.
[1:09:46] Thank you.
[1:09:49] Anyone else?
[1:09:51] Seeing no one rise, I'll take a motion please.
[1:09:54] I will motion to approve item number four.
[1:09:57] Please catch your votes.
[1:10:00] Thanks and favour the motion, motion carries. Item 5. Item number 5 discussion and possible action. Do
[1:10:06] approve one, the final platform for City Center District Master Platt, track 5188 and two authorizing
[1:10:12] the mayor to execute the final platform on behalf of the city.
[1:10:16] Mayor Delmond Council members, our planning manager, Johnny Loro will present this item.
[1:10:24] Mayor Council, so it was a request for approval of the final platform for the City Center
[1:10:27] district's master-plat, which is basically the remainder of the development
[1:10:31] besides the park side that we just talked about and the exceptional health
[1:10:34] care and a few other small parcels.
[1:10:36] So this platform proposed this to split the 223 acres that are remaining
[1:10:40] of city center into eight lots and six parcels.
[1:10:43] If you'll notice the plot that's in your packets there looks very much
[1:10:47] like the conceptual plan that council approved a few years back.
[1:10:51] With essentially commercial uses to the east of the main street that's
[1:10:55] through that lines up with the loan us and mostly residential uses to the west of Main Street.
[1:11:02] The plot includes the dedication of Rights of Way, shown as Main Street and Parkside Lane,
[1:11:07] as well as the extension of open road coming in off the highway.
[1:11:10] Parsals AC, D and E are being dedicated to the city for drainage and retention.
[1:11:15] Parsals B and F are being retained by the developer.
[1:11:18] B will be a landscape parcel in the middle of that kind of roundabout.
[1:11:22] the intersection of Oman and Main Street, and F will be a future right-of-way connection to the south.
[1:11:29] The infrastructure improvements, including the rights of way utilities, will be built as part of the improvement district,
[1:11:35] authorized by Council Under Resolution 2026, R4.
[1:11:38] The water allocation is not being requested at this time.
[1:11:41] That will be addressed as projects are identified, and the land is further subdivided.
[1:11:47] Again, the developers here, if you have any questions or I stand for any questions.
[1:11:50] Okay, go ahead.
[1:11:52] Good.
[1:11:52] Johnny, good.
[1:11:53] Quick question for you.
[1:11:54] And I'm sure I get a simple answer.
[1:11:57] There's a line on the drawing of the master plan from the south east corner to the northwest
[1:12:07] corner.
[1:12:08] It's a dotted line.
[1:12:09] Is that the old gas line?
[1:12:11] That's an operable still yet or not?
[1:12:13] I don't think it's operable, but that easement is remaining in place.
[1:12:17] Okay.
[1:12:17] Thank you very much.
[1:12:19] Anyone else?
[1:12:21] Mayor Dom.
[1:12:22] Just a comment on parcels ACD and E that will be dedicated to the city for retention and drainage.
[1:12:32] Just to state that my position regarding any landscaping that goes in there would be that low water use and native trees and shrubs be used in those areas.
[1:12:43] Thank you.
[1:12:44] Excellent.
[1:12:46] Anyone else?
[1:12:47] Do I have anyone from the audience?
[1:13:00] Got you from all head.
[1:13:05] I just don't believe that.
[1:13:11] You're not making them put any right turn lanes on 200 and something acres, especially on Riverview.
[1:13:23] Safeways and all these other rooms turned right turn lanes were paid for by the whole state tax payers.
[1:13:31] Not just bullhead.
[1:13:33] You need to make the contract or the owner of that place.
[1:13:38] pay for the right turn lanes in there on all three places. I mean, I just
[1:13:43] great to take it to front there on 95. But that don't do nothing about the
[1:13:47] rear ends. They're going to happen on Riverview. That's your one that's going to be
[1:13:54] the problem. People are going to be going around cars in the middle lane
[1:13:57] there where you're turning left. Guaranteed, that's going to happen. Coppa be
[1:14:03] to get this quote. Let me wake him up.
[1:14:13] But why it's just like they've already gotten
[1:14:20] easements, made lots, the size and the rear and all that they've gotten that already
[1:14:27] redone.
[1:14:30] Like an example is take five. It was done 20 years ago and you guys wouldn't approve
[1:14:37] and tell Johnny come up here and say, well, that was approved 20 years ago.
[1:14:42] So there goes the check, you know, the heck with the parking,
[1:14:46] you guys are cropped all over the handicapped parking.
[1:14:50] You have a right to authorize it that to up, like Safeway,
[1:14:54] should be able to have to put in another 304 spots.
[1:15:01] There's a few more people in town than there were 20 years ago. We need more handicap parking at Safeway, and I've gripped about for 10, 20 years now.
[1:15:13] They will their food out to five spots there. Those should all be handicapped for at least two of them.
[1:15:22] But you just let me as people get away. We'll be paying for a review in 20 years again for right-turn lanes on in the city center.
[1:15:34] Mayor Dolman, Council Member, she's a quick comment on that.
[1:15:37] When those developments come in, they'll be looked at via those traffic studies and other
[1:15:41] things along the three other side streets, lakeside, you know, Marina.
[1:15:49] So these are, these are parcels, and again those developments will be looked at.
[1:15:53] So there is a full right turn lane being built on Highway 95 along with that other infrastructure.
[1:15:58] If a significant development comes in that warrants, right turn lanes, the developer will have to pay for that.
[1:16:05] It may not be Jake and Ali, the current developers.
[1:16:09] It may be someone else who buys the parcels from them down the road.
[1:16:14] Thank you for that clarification. Next.
[1:16:20] Well, Head City, Mr. Divini.
[1:16:23] Part of my request emotion was also for this new development that the developers do take on rates.
[1:16:31] that for the water and the cooling and the dusting prior even to the building, because
[1:16:38] it shouldn't go to the residents. They're the corporations. They have the money. It shouldn't
[1:16:46] go back on us. And it's a privileged tax, basically. So I hope you really do consideration
[1:16:54] my 5-page request is,
[1:17:02] you know, you're planning all this development and the
[1:17:05] calculation also has to come in for the tourist, you know, from your zoning
[1:17:11] public notice meeting and the fact that you want 250,000 people to come in when our
[1:17:18] population is only at 142,000 people and that's just counting residents, that's not
[1:17:26] including tourists. So, you know, we really need to take precautions to make sure that
[1:17:34] the resources are there in the water is there for families, children, seniors. Hydration
[1:17:40] is a major cause for health issues.
[1:17:43] do you notice and not to you're you're you're going off topic a little bit
[1:17:48] so we have to stick with this item number all right but it it can
[1:17:52] certain that a lot I've heard the one thank you so much I appreciate that thank you
[1:17:58] anyone else seeing no one rise I'll take a motion please I will motion to approve
[1:18:04] item number five
[1:18:05] Second question.
[1:18:06] Question votes.
[1:18:08] Six in favour of the motion motion carries.
[1:18:11] Item six.
[1:18:13] Item number six.

[1:18:33] A public record.
[1:18:35] Erdogan counts members, Johnny Laura, planning manager will present this item.
[1:18:40] Mayor and council.
[1:18:41] So this amendment is proposed by staff to modify the rear setback for commercial buildings.
[1:18:46] When the rear of a lot of butts and alley adjacent to a residential district.
[1:18:50] So currently the code requires a 15 foot building setback for commercial buildings.
[1:18:54] When the lot of butts directly abuts a residential district, but also requires a 15 foot
[1:18:58] setback when there's an alley separating the districts.
[1:19:01] The proposed amendment would leave the 15-foot setback in place when a commercial lot directly
[1:19:05] abuts a residential lot, but reduce the setback from 15 feet to 5 feet when there's
[1:19:11] an alley in between.
[1:19:12] Alley's are typically a minimum of 20 feet wide up to 25 feet wide, so they'll reduce
[1:19:16] setback with still leave a minimum of 25 feet between the rear of a commercial lot and the
[1:19:21] residential district.
[1:19:23] I think the commission did recommend approval of this and I stand for any questions.
[1:19:29] Any questions?
[1:19:31] No?
[1:19:31] anyone from the audience. All right, I'll take a motion then please. Motion to approve. I don't
[1:19:37] number seven is red six six six six. Sorry.
[1:19:43] Pat cash to votes. Six in favor of the motion motion carries. Item seven.
[1:19:50] Item number seven discussion and possible action. Do it up ordinance number 2026-16 by
[1:19:55] reference.
[1:19:56] Approving an amendment to Title 17, Chapter 17.06.
[1:20:00] General District Requirements of the Bullhead City Municipal Code, concerning fences and walls, and adopting resolution
[1:20:05] number 206R-S28, declaring the Code Amendment a public record.
[1:20:11] Mayor Dalman Kelms, members are cheap building official development services director.
[1:20:20] He's going to take this item. He'll probably give it to Johnny Buds. This is one of Billy's pet peeves, and he was adamant
[1:20:28] that we bring this forward.
[1:20:30] So I don't know Billy if you wanted to say anything
[1:20:31] you're handed over to Johnny.
[1:20:38] Okay, so he's passing it over to me.
[1:20:40] Okay, so the amendment proposed by staff is to codify
[1:20:42] the requirement for fences and walls to be fully
[1:20:45] located within the applicant's property boundary,
[1:20:47] which has been the policy of the building
[1:20:49] the apartment for many years, but is not in the code.
[1:20:52] So currently the code states,
[1:20:53] survey monuments have to be in place for all property
[1:20:56] corners during the construction of a fence or a wall,
[1:20:59] but it does not specifically state
[1:21:01] that the fences are walls cannot cross property lines.
[1:21:04] So the proposed amendment would specify that all components
[1:21:06] of the fence are wall including the footings
[1:21:08] are to be located fully within the property boundary
[1:21:10] of the applicant.
[1:21:11] This will help prevent disputes between property owners
[1:21:13] over ownership of fences and walls.
[1:21:15] Commission did recommend approval,
[1:21:17] and stand for any questions.
[1:21:19] And I might add that Billy is very much in favor
[1:21:21] of keeping him on one person's property versus shared walls.
[1:21:27] That makes sense.
[1:21:28] It's been such a long time since we have the audience, I mean, the rule that we will not let anybody build.
[1:21:36] Any structure, of course, the poverty line, because it's created a problem when some damage to that structure who's going to pay for it.
[1:21:46] And it's always a fight, and we end up in the middle of that fight, so that's why I suggest that this order into your proof.
[1:21:56] So, thank you. Okay. You need discussion. Anybody from the audience wish to have a comment?
[1:22:03] Me, no. All right. I'll take a motion.
[1:22:05] Madam Mayor, I moved to approve item seven as red.
[1:22:08] Councillor votes.
[1:22:11] Six in favour of the motion motion carries.
[1:22:13] Madam.
[1:22:15] Item number eight. Discussion and possible action.
[1:22:17] Do a dopper resolution number 2026R-29.
[1:22:20] Approving the intergovernmental agreement regarding gang and immigration intelligence team and
[1:22:25] submit mission, get a state-gain task force, Department of Public Safety, Contract Number 2021-078-R1.
[1:22:34] Madam Mayor Council members, I hate to put the new chief on the hot spot on an issue like this,
[1:22:40] but lucky for us he's well-versed and he also just went to a conference where they talked about this
[1:22:45] very subject, so we'll turn it over to the chief.
[1:22:48] Thank you, Mr. Cotter.
[1:22:49] May it appease the Mayor and Council.
[1:22:52] We are asking to renew our intergovernmental agreement with the Arizona Department of Public Safety
[1:22:58] to get them, the gang, and immigration enforcement team pretty much.
[1:23:03] So the city receives a lot from this agreement and has been part of this agreement for
[1:23:10] or this program for many years to take the vows is the go-to guy for gangs here in the state.
[1:23:17] does a really good job. We attended the Arizona Game Conference in Phoenix. I believe that
[1:23:22] was last week. We had a number of staff to go to support detective vowels as well as this
[1:23:28] program here. We do have a little bit of a gang issue here in Boyd City. It's against travel,
[1:23:36] transient, our most recent homicide. The folks involved in that we suspect to be gang related
[1:23:42] we're getting affiliated. We don't necessarily believe that incident to be
[1:23:47] getting related, but the fact of the matter is we have that issue here and we're
[1:23:52] trying to tackle that by utilizing all of our resources to include their
[1:23:55] zone of department of public safety. So like I said, we've been part of this
[1:23:59] program for several years and I would like to continue that.
[1:24:02] Okay. Do we have any questions?
[1:24:07] No. Okay. Anybody from the audience?
[1:24:11] All right. I will take a motion then, please.
[1:24:13] Madam Mayor, I moved to approve item eight as red.
[1:24:17] A second motion.
[1:24:19] Cash to votes.
[1:24:21] Six in favour of the motion.
[1:24:23] Motion carries.
[1:24:25] All right.
[1:24:26] Item nine.
[1:24:29] Item number nine.
[1:24:30] Discussion and possible action.
[1:24:31] Do approve acceptance of the 1997 AM General M109782 from Jerry Hardy.
[1:24:39] To place the vehicle in Veterans Park and allocate $10,000 to the Veterans Park fund from contingency to cover
[1:24:45] transport, restoration, installation, and related display costs.
[1:24:49] Mayor Dolmond County members, a few meetings back.
[1:24:52] Local resident Jerry Hardy approached and asked if the city would be interested in some military equipment that he had.
[1:25:00] Of course, he's been coming to a lot of our meetings over the last few years and has seen all of the other magnificent pieces that the city is acquiring or has acquired for the veterans park.
[1:25:12] So, Jerry had asked if he could present to the council a donation of a 1997 humvee. Jerry's here. You'll see a lot of information in your packet, including photos and insular information.
[1:25:26] Any questions that you may have, or probably better asked of Jerry, we did take it to our internal committee for acceptance, the committee said yes. They would like to do that. Mayor Brady was also invited to that meeting. He had hope that in our process of bringing it to the park if you accepted that we would take the soft top and the soft doors and maybe make those hard through the process.
[1:25:52] As it puts put on static display, so we'll have that conversation down the road, but first and foremost, would you like to accept this donation and I'll introduce Jerry.
[1:26:05] Come on up, Jerry.
[1:26:08] Good evening, Mayor.
[1:26:10] Council, Toby, Chief.
[1:26:14] So it's my privilege to get in front of you guys to see if you guys can accept this donation.
[1:26:20] And this high mobility multipurpose will be equal, or we call it a humby,
[1:26:30] was entered
[1:26:31] in the service in 1980s.
[1:26:34] And it became one of the most recognized military vehicles today in modern history.
[1:26:40] Designed to operate in some of the most world's most challenging environments, and it served
[1:26:46] as a first-to-platform for transportation, logistics,
[1:26:49] medication, medical evacuation, and countless other missions.
[1:26:55] Over the past four decades,
[1:26:57] humbese have supported American service members
[1:26:59] and operations around the globe, including the Gulf War,
[1:27:03] Iraq, Afghanistan, and numerous peacekeeping
[1:27:06] and humanitarian missions.
[1:27:09] For many years, the humbese represented
[1:27:12] not just a vehicle but a simple service sacrifice and teamwork and dedication to duty for many
[1:27:18] veterans. By placing this home be the Veterans Park, we create a tangible collection,
[1:27:24] a connection to the experience of those who wore our nation's uniform. It serves as a reminder
[1:27:29] to their commitment, the challenges they faced, and the freedoms that they served to help protect.
[1:27:37] It is my hope this display will honor our veterans, educate the future generations,
[1:27:41] and stand as the last in the symbol of gratitude to our service members, and Vice Mayor, it does not have a warranty.
[1:27:53] Thank you very much.
[1:27:57] Do we have any questions for Jerry?
[1:27:59] Okay, go ahead.
[1:28:01] First of all, being a veteran, I want to thank you very much for your generosity and donating this to the city.
[1:28:07] The question I have, I know they want to see hard doors on the side, but how do you
[1:28:13] cycle through tires? I never preserve them. How do we preserve the tires on a display like
[1:28:19] that?
[1:28:20] Yeah, I would think that, I mean, there's got to be a way. I don't know personally. I know I'm sure
[1:28:26] they've done it with the jeeps that are out there currently. So the person that does this
[1:28:31] and how does what I believe has a method to preserve those. I'm sure he's very good at it.
[1:28:36] like I said, the Jeep looks fantastic out there as well.
[1:28:39] I have no doubt that he'll figure it out.
[1:28:42] Thank you very much, you know, absolutely.
[1:28:44] Well, I want to just say thank you, Jerry, for your generosity
[1:28:46] and I am in favor of this donation,
[1:28:49] but I believe I remember that former mayor Brady
[1:28:54] was going to pay for those doors himself.
[1:28:56] Did I take it that way?
[1:28:58] Yes, right, no, I'm kidding.
[1:29:00] Anyways, yeah, I don't know.
[1:29:01] Is anyone in the audience want to speak to this?
[1:29:03] No, then, yes, go ahead.
[1:29:06] As a 20 year veteran of the United States Army, thank you, Jerry, for the donation.
[1:29:10] It's awesome.
[1:29:11] We put up a lot of miles on there.
[1:29:14] I'm homepiece in the time I was in.
[1:29:16] I started with an M151 Jeep, and that those come into.
[1:29:20] So thank you very much, appreciate it.
[1:29:22] And we're not going to park this in front of the data center that we don't have, right?
[1:29:27] All right, I will take a moment.
[1:29:28] Mayor Dalman, I'm sorry, before the motion.
[1:29:30] I just wanted to reiterate it was a sizable donation. I saw the invoice and so I think Jerry had high hopes one day of refurbishing that and he paid a lot for it
[1:29:43] Actually so it is a sizable donation our goal is not to get it running our goal is for it to be a static display in the park
[1:29:52] So the motor and things will be taken out. We've been working with Medi and his friend Noel who's down in Lake Havasu
[1:29:58] He's the expert at
[1:30:00] Refurbishing these military vehicles. He's the one that's basically heading out to Texas to get the airplane to bring it back, right?
[1:30:08] So we're going through that process, but in your motion, I just wanted to mention, so we are allocating $10,000 for the refurbishment, the placement, the pad and all those things.
[1:30:20] History tells us that we're spending very little of that because of Medi and all the community groups that have been donating all of their time and expertise.
[1:30:28] We've spent very little over the years on any of these, but in case those community
[1:30:35] Goodwill's run dry
[1:30:36] We're probably looking total to refurbish this around four to five thousand dollars according to know well
[1:30:44] Again, we've gotten tons of donations on these things and then we would need to have concrete pads and all the things that we have out there at the site
[1:30:53] So this is going to go into that veterans account and you may recall from the last couple
[1:30:58] times we've done this we've put you know money aside for that and the community has stepped up in such a big way
[1:31:05] but just to be careful we do need to move a little bit of money into that account may or may not need it.
[1:31:13] Okay thank you for clarifying that.
[1:31:16] Both do approve item number nine is red.
[1:31:18] Second of motion. Cash to votes.
[1:31:23] Six in favor of the motion motion carries. All right item 10.
[1:31:30] Item number 10 discussion and possible action to adopt a solution number 2026R-30, authorizing
[1:31:37] and directing the city manager's execution of a warranty deed to Richard Lepoint and
[1:31:43] Keith Lepoint and the, sorry, in the execution of the assignment, let's try this again.
[1:31:53] Assignment consent and request, accepting the warranty deed from Richard Lepoint and authorizing
[1:31:59] the city manager to execute any other related documents in order to complete the transition.
[1:32:06] Transaction.
[1:32:06] That was hard.
[1:32:07] Thank you, Toby.
[1:32:09] Mayor Dolman, council members, Travis, Garnon, and I are happy to answer any questions on
[1:32:13] this.
[1:32:14] Really, this is a very technical issue.
[1:32:17] It relates to the 2015 land exchange.
[1:32:20] When Don Laughlin gave us this land, when we went through that, sold part of it, we're
[1:32:24] trading a good portion of it with the federal government.
[1:32:27] There was a well identified on a piece that Le Point had thought he bought from us, but really we're swapping basically 20 acres with him.
[1:32:36] The federal government really doesn't care because they're trading us the thousand acres up there for a small less than acre on the river.
[1:32:46] So they're going to get all that land on the top of the mountain as part of that deal once we get there which will come back to you.
[1:32:53] But we needed to get this done with Mr. Lepoint and their estate so that they feel like they've got the right well in the right access
[1:33:00] I don't know Travis or Garn if you want to add anything to that, but it really this is a technical part of that
[1:33:08] That initial deal that we did what's coming back which actually is the more substantial
[1:33:13] We actually get something from this will be at a later date Travis is working with the BLM and BOR and all the agencies on getting that done
[1:33:23] Okay, thank you. Does anybody have any questions? No. Anybody from the audience?
[1:33:29] All right. I will take a motion in place.
[1:33:32] I will motion to approve item number 10 as presented.
[1:33:34] Second motion.
[1:33:36] Gastrovots.
[1:33:37] Six in favor of the motion motion carries. All right. That concludes our meeting. Thank you.
