United Parcel Service (UPS) has occupied the subject property within the Kingman Airport & Industrial Park since 1990.  Over time, the original lease was extended multiple times and had become outdated, prompting the need to update and standardize the agreement to reflect current City practices and lease provisions.  As part of this process, the City procured an appraisal to establish current market value ground lease rates, which informed the updated lease terms. Staff recommends approval.

This item is to approve a professional services agreement with Kimley Horn for the Southeast Kingman Roadway Network Analysis in the amount of $58,240. This effort will identify refinements to the City's Transportation Masterplan that are necessitated by the completion of Flying Fortress and anticipated development along the south leg of Flying Fortress Parkway from Louise to Hualapai Mountain Road. There will be a fiscal impact of $58,240 to the Capital Projects Fund. Staff recommends approval.

The Taxiway Bravo Reconstruction Project is being funded by two ADOT Grants.  ADOT Grant E0S3F01C expired on February 2, 2026, and ADOT Grant E2S5A01C expired on December 15, 2025. Substantial completion of construction was achieved on September 23, 2025, and staff is expecting the final closeout documents by April of this year. Both Amendments will extend the grants to June 30, 2027, allowing the city to be reimbursed by ADOT.  Staff recommends approval.

Resolution No. 5601 allows for the the acceptance of the public improvements and release of the property escrow agreement for Hualapai Shadows Tract 6407 Phase 3. Engineering and Public Works Inspectors have determined that all required improvements have been completed and are in compliance with the terms of the final plat, improvement plan, and the requirements of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance; with the exception of the sidewalks which will be completed prior to the issuance of the individual Certificates of Occupancy. Staff recommends approval.

This item is for consideration and approval to purchase crack-seal rubber for use in Residential District 5 in preparation for future chip-seal work. The attached quote is for material only, which will be applied by City forces and contract labor. Crack-seal material will be applied during the current fiscal year, with chip-seal work in Residential District 5 scheduled for late summer to early fall of FY27. This purchase will utilize the Arizona State Cooperative Contract CTR066732. The total fiscal impact for the material will be $124,264.08 and will be paid from the Highway Users Revenue Fund (HURF). Staff recommends approval.

This item is for Council consideration and approval of a proposal to perform a rubberized high-volume chip seal on Hualapai Mountain Road. This project is part of the City of Kingman’s ongoing pavement preservation program. The treatment is planned for Hualapai Mountain Road from near Central Street to the City Limits. The Kingman Job Order Contract ENG21-0084 is being utilized for this project. The total fiscal impact for this project is $236,800, and will be funded from the Highway Users Revenue Fund (HURF). Staff recommends approval.

This specialized services agreement with Clear Creek Associates is proposed for the design and construction documentation of a new city well, City Well 12 in the amount of $136,082. During the 2025 Legislative Session Representative Biasiucci secured $3,000,000 in State Appropriations for the City of Kingman to drill and equip a new production well. This occurred after the development of the City’s FY2025-26 budget and thus it was not included in the budget. In order to fund the project staff is requesting approval to transfer $136,082 in budget appropriations from the Colorado River Water Authority Fund to the Water Expansion Fund for this purchase. Staff recommends approval of the contract and budget appropriation transfer. 

A new national opioid settlement has been reached with six regional distributors/dispenser defendants (Remnant Defendants Settlement). There is one settlement agreement covering the combined settlement with the Six Remnant Defendants. If effectuated, the proposed Remnant Defendants Settlement will result in the the Six Remnant Defendants paying a combined $97,625,000.00 in cash for purposes of abating the opioid epidemic, resulting in a one-time payment of a portion of the total settlement amount to each Eligible Entity. In order to participate Eligible Entities must execute the attached Participation and Release Form. Staff recommends approval.

The Solid Waste financial plan is regularly evaluated to confirm that revenues support operating costs, capital needs, and the maintenance of a 60-day operating cash reserve. During the past fiscal year, the City expanded services by implementing a drop-off recycling program.  Staff’s evaluation of the Solid Waste financial plan has identified a gap between current revenues and the funding required to support current service levels, operating costs, capital needs, and the City’s 60-day cash reserve target.  Several rate and revenue options are being presented to Council for consideration.    Staff recommends Council adopt a Notice of Intent to consider increasing solid waste rates at the May 19th Council meeting. 

The Water System’s financial plan is regularly evaluated to confirm that revenues support operating costs, capital needs, and the maintenance of a 60-day operating cash reserve.  Staff’s review of the Water System’s financial plan indicates that current revenues are not sufficient to fully support existing service levels, operating expenses, capital requirements, and the City’s 60-day cash reserve target.  Rate and revenue options are being presented to Council for consideration.   Staff recommends Council adopt a Notice of Intent to consider increasing water rates and establishing new fees and set a May 19th public hearing date.  

Limited to announcements, board and commission liaison reports, availability/attendance at conferences and seminars.

The City Manager requests Council go into executive session pursuant to ARS 38-431.03(A)(4) to discuss and get direction regarding an KART Hub lease agreement. Discussion and possible action.
