The Council may not respond to speakers during the call to the public. The Council may direct the City Manager to study the matter or request that the matter be placed on a future agenda.

Ordinance No. 2002 amends the City of Kingman Utility Regulations related to the Industrial Pretreatment Program to maintain compliance with Arizona Department of Environmental Quality requirements. The proposed revisions address deficiencies identified during a recent ADEQ pretreatment inspection, and update outdated provisions of the Utility Regulations. Bold text indicates proposed additions, and strikethrough text indicates language proposed for removal. Staff recommends approval.

City Council approved the Award of Bid 2026-IFB-003, Flying Fortress Parkway Phase II, at the April 7, 2026 meeting, and the contract was executed thereafter. Staff later found that the general conditions were omitted from the executed contract. The contractor has agreed to comply with the general conditions. This action acknowledges the general conditions signed by the Contractor and attaches them to the executed agreement. Staff recommends approval.

On March 17, 2026, the City Council was presented with options for increasing the solid waste residential and commercial rates. The Council adopted a Notice of Intent at that meeting, and now Option A, which was adopted and included an 8.25% increase to residential and commercial rates and discontinuance of the drop-off recycling program, is being brought before the Council for consideration and possible approval. Staff recommends approval.

Flying Fortress Parkway Phase II construction started on April 27, 2026. During construction, the contractor identified a conflict between an existing 12” water line and the new proposed drainage pipe (4-30” CMP) at STA 223+50 along Flying Fortress Parkway. Based on the designer’s recommendation, a realignment of the existing water line is required at this location. This change order will increase to total cost of the Flying Fortress Pkwy Phase II project in the amount of $47,953.00 and will be funded out of the I-11 East Kingman Connection Project Fund. Staff recommends approval.

On March 17, 2026, the City Council was presented with options for increasing the water volume and base rates, the capital renewal fee, and miscellaneous water service fees, as well as the establishment of two new water fees. The Council adopted a Notice of Intent at that meeting, to consider Option A, which included a 3.85% increase to water volume and base rates, a 50% increase to capital renewal fees, adjustments to miscellaneous water service fees and establishing two new service fees.  These fee changes are being brought before the Council in a Public Hearing for consideration and possible approval. Staff recommends approval.

Staff is requesting Council amend the General Plan land use designation of approximately 128 acres and establish the Regional Commercial designation to allow for commercial uses with varying intensities, and aligns with the proposed C-3 (Commercial, Service Business) zone also proposed on the site to facilitate future commercial development, potentially consisting of retail stores, hotels, restaurants, and fueling facilities. The minor amendment is required before the C-3 zoning can be considered, as all rezoning proposals must conform to the projected land use map of the Kingman General Plan 2040. Commission recommended  approval (7-0).

Staff is requesting Council approve the rezone to change the zoning of 155 acres to the C-3 (Commercial, Service Business) zone, which aligns with the proposed Regional Commercial land use designation under companion application GP25-0008 and facilitates future commercial development, potentially consisting of retail stores, hotels, restaurants, and fueling facilities. Commission recommended approval (7-0).

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

The City Council may go into executive session pursuant to ARS 38-431.03(A)(1) to discuss the City Manager’s annual evaluation. Discussion and Possible Action.
