This agenda item is for consideration and approval to reconstruct 3 driveways providing access to the airfield at Kingman Airport. Three airfield entrance driveways at the Kingman Municipal Airport are raveling, creating a foreign object debris (F.O.D.) risk that could damage aircraft propellers. The City has received multiple requests from tenants and a recommendation from the Airport and Industrial Park Advisory Commission to rehabilitate three airfield entrance driveways. This is an approved project in the FY2026-27 Adopted Budget with a budget of $250,000 in the Airport Capital Projects Fund.  This proposal is for an amount not to exceed $246,565. Staff recommends approval.

At the October 21, 2025 Council Meeting, Council approved the award of five (5) proposals that were submitted in response to a formal solicitation for the use of the City's Opioid Settlement Grant funds. As part of that award, Mohave Substance Treatment Education Prevention Partnership (MSTEPP) was approved for $25,000 of the opioid funding to be used for outreach, supplies and materials, and Other-Contracts/Rentals.  Due to a low participation rate in the $8,000 awarded for the purpose of providing scholarships to underprivileged youth, MSTEPP is requesting $3,000 of these funds to be reprogrammed to cover the costs of travel for two (2) MSTEPP Youth Coalition members to attend the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) National Forum on February 1st -5th in Washington, D.C. There is no fiscal impact to this reprogramming request.  Staff recommends approval.

The attached quote is for material only, which will be applied by City forces. Crack-seal material will be applied during the current fiscal year, with chip-seal work in Residential Districts 5 and 6 is scheduled for the spring of FY27.

The Kingman Veterans Treatment Court is currently working in partnership with the Lake Havasu City Veterans Treatment Court through an existing grant that expires on September 30, 2026. The continuation of this partnership through the new SAMHSA grant will allow both courts to build upon the work and successes of the existing program while ensuring that veterans in our communities continue to receive the services and support they need. The grant will be used to reimburse the City of Kingman, Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City for expenses incurred in providing counseling and testing for veterans.  The total grant award is $295,429 for the first year and $283,429 for each of the next four years (subject to funding availability). Staff recommends approval.

The first item for consideration and approval is to continue to accept Federal funds for the design phase of the Kingman Municipal Airport Transient Apron Rehabilitation under IGM-WPG-3-04-0021-039-2026-Grant Agreement, which was executed on August 31, 2026.  This Grant is the Federal Aviation Administration Share of 95% of the budgeted project cost. The other 5% of the project's cost will be split between the Arizona Department of Transportation and the City.  There will be a fiscal impact of $6,397 to the Airport Fund. Staff recommends approval.

This item is for consideration and approval for the execution of Authorization of Services Number 6 for C&S Engineering Services for the design of the Transient Apron rehab project of 132,000 square yards of the apron. This item is required along with the IGM-W G-3-04-0021-039-2026-Grant Agreement to apply for and receive the Arizona Department of Transportation grant for a project share of 2.5%.  The overall design cost is $247,921 which is mostly grant funded.

The Kingman Route 66 Street Drags team has requested approval of a fee waiver for the upcoming Route 66 Street Drags event scheduled for October 8–11, 2026. The requested fee waiver includes $1,530.00 for Lewis Kingman Park Reservation fees and $5,670 for delivery and pickup of bleachers for the event. The total amount requested to be waived is $7,200.00. Staff recommends approval.

Declaration of a public record via Resolution No. 5638 allows the amended City Street and Sidewalk Rules Ordinance No. 1996 to be adopted by reference. Staff recommends approval.

Approval of Ordinance 1996, amends the City Street Regulations to establish standards for street lighting associated with new development and street improvements identifying when lighting is required. Currently regulations establish that Council may require lighting as part of a developments approval. Recent legislative changes have made many development approvals an administrative function, thus not coming before Council. These amendments clearly establish when lighting is to be required. Staff recommends approval. 

Staff has begun planning for the City of Kingman’s 75th Anniversary Celebration, scheduled for January 21, 2027, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. A proposed event framework has been developed that includes several options for the main event attraction, along with historical displays, City department participation, family activities, food, community recognition, contests, and other anniversary-themed programming. To help offset the costs associated with the celebration, staff has also developed a proposed sponsorship program with opportunities ranging from $250 to $5,000. The program would allow staff to actively solicit sponsorships from local businesses, organizations, and community partners interested in supporting the City’s 75th Anniversary Celebration. Staff Requests Council to review and approve the proposed event planning direction, select a preferred main event option, approve the proposed sponsorship program, and authorize staff to solicit sponsorships for the celebration. 

In recognition of the City of Kingman’s 75th Anniversary, staff has developed a commemorative seal to be incorporated into appropriate City-related materials during calendar year 2027, including printed publications, marketing materials, email signatures, the City website, social media and other digital communications. Use of the seal will recognize the anniversary throughout the year and provide consistent branding across City publications and communications. Staff recommends approval.
