Lake Havasu City Council weighs airport, bridge contracts; planning commission to review car wash permit

Lake Havasu City officials met last week to consider airport and bridge contracts, certify primary election results, and weigh food court permits. Minutes from these meetings have not yet been published, so no decisions are confirmed. The most consequential items were on the Aug. 11 City Council agenda.

City Council (Aug. 11)

The council's agenda included several resolutions and contracts for infrastructure projects. Among them:

• **Resolution 26-3935** – a Federal Aviation Administration grant for the Taxiway C Reconstruction Project design.
• **Resolution 26-3940** – Bureau of Land Management right-of-way grants for the Second Bridge & Roadway Improvement Project.
• **Task Order 13** with C&S Engineers for Terminal Apron Reconstruction design.
• **Professional Services Agreement** with NCS Engineers for Booster Station 2A Improvements.
• **Bid to HAWK Contracting** for traffic signal cabinet and wiring upgrades at three intersections.

The agenda also included a bingo license and routine items such as approving minutes and announcing board vacancies.

City Council Special Meeting (Aug. 10)

A special meeting was held with a single substantive item: a public hearing and vote on Resolution No. 26-3637, which would declare and adopt the official canvass of the July 21, 2026 primary election. The rest of the agenda was procedural.

Planning and Zoning Commission (Aug. 5)

The commission's agenda included public hearings on two major conditional use permits for food courts in the Limited Commercial (C-1) District. Each permit would allow a food court with mobile food units and a permanent building for one year:

Lake Havasu City Council considers final budget, tax levy, and new housing development

The Lake Havasu City Council met June 23 to consider adopting the final budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and setting the property tax levy. The agenda, posted ahead of the meeting, also included votes on an airport infrastructure grant, a rezoning for 68 new homes, an annexation request, and housing rehabilitation guidelines. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so the outcomes of these votes are not yet known.

Budget and Property Tax Levy

The council was scheduled to hold a public hearing on the proposed property tax levy before voting on the final budget. The budget and levy amounts were not specified in the agenda summary. Adoption of the budget is the final step before the new fiscal year begins, and the tax levy directly affects property tax bills for city residents.

Airport Infrastructure Grant

A Federal Aviation Administration grant for reconstruction of the terminal apron pavement at Lake Havasu City Airport was up for approval. The grant would fund a capital improvement project at the airport. No dollar figure for the grant was listed in the agenda.

Proposed Residential Rezoning

The council considered a rezoning application for 68 attached single-family homes at 1926 Swanson Avenue and 1851 Magnolia Drive. The project would require a zoning change to allow attached single-family development on the two parcels.

Annexation

Also on the agenda was the annexation of territory located at 3500 Highway 95 North. No further details about the property or its intended use were provided in the meeting summary.

Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines

The council was to vote on guidelines for the city’s housing rehabilitation program. The specific provisions of the guidelines were not included in the summary.

Coming up

No upcoming city council or other board meetings were listed as of July 5. Residents are encouraged to check the city’s official website or meeting calendar for future schedules.
