Bullhead City Council Considered $429,288 Police Vehicle Purchase and Other Items; Minutes Pending
Bullhead City Council agendas from July 7 and July 9 listed several major spending and zoning items, including a $429,288 purchase of seven police vehicles and a $514,433.90 mower lease. However, minutes for both meetings have not yet been published, so the outcomes of these agenda items are not yet available.
July 7 Regular City Council Meeting
The July 7 agenda included a presentation from the Western Arizona Regional Medical Center (WARMC) CEO regarding hospital operations and capital improvements.
The council was scheduled to act on a $50,000 River Fund Transportation Assistance Grant for homeless transportation. If approved, this grant would fund transportation services for homeless individuals in the city.
Another scheduled action item was a $514,433.90 lease for six Toro mowers from Simpson Norton Corporation. This lease would provide equipment for city maintenance operations.
Public hearings were set for two liquor license applications. The first was a Series 10 liquor license for Eagles Market at 2178 Riviera Boulevard. The second was a Series 12 liquor license for Takumi Sushi House at 1047 Highway 95, Suite A1. These licenses would allow the businesses to sell alcohol at their respective locations.
The council also planned to appoint a vice mayor for the fiscal year. Because minutes are not yet published, it is not confirmed whether these items were approved, deferred, or how council members voted on any of the matters.
July 9 Regular City Council Meeting
The July 9 agenda featured a public hearing on three zoning amendments. Ordinance 2026-10 proposed a time extension for development at 490 Riverview Drive. Ordinance 2026-11 proposed a time extension for The Trails of Black Mountain project. Ordinance 2026-12 proposed setback changes for the CityCentre District project. These amendments affect development timelines and building rules in those specific areas.
The council was scheduled to consider approving a $429,288 purchase of seven police vehicles from Phil Long Dealerships. This purchase would add vehicles to the police fleet.
Other scheduled items included adopting Ordinance 2026-9, which amends Chapter 3.44 regarding Inspection Services Recovery Fees. The council also planned to appoint Christopher Toschi to the BATS Commission. A ceremonial swearing-in of Police Chief Paul George was also on the agenda. The council discussed possibly rescheduling the August 18 meeting. Minutes are not yet published, so outcomes for these items are not confirmed.
Parks & Recreation Commission
The Parks and Recreation Commission meeting scheduled for July 15 was cancelled. The official notice stated there were no items to come before the Commission at this time.
