Votes at a glance: council approves appointments, contracts, liquor license and procedural items
Summary
At its June 17 meeting the Bullhead City Council approved multiple routine and project items: board and commission appointments, a liquor license recommendation, a $150,000 security wiring contract for the animal resource center, an end-of-year budget amendment, a meeting reschedule and directions to solicit applicants for a council vacancy.
The Bullhead City Council took a series of votes June 17 on appointments, contracts and procedural items. Most measures passed unanimously (6-0). Key outcomes:
- Board and commission appointments (items 4, 5, 6, 7): The council filled multiple vacancies across boards and commissions. Appointments included Kenya Cribb and Christie Fouts to the Board of Adjustment, Dawn (Don/Don) Albers and Amy Prince to the Building Board of Appeals, Kenya Cribb and Randolph Sierra to the Parks and Recreation Commission, and Bart Anderson, Stephen Brown and Paul Bartha (listed in packet as Paul Bartha/Bartha) to the Planning and Zoning Commission for two-year terms beginning July 1, 2025. The planning and zoning appointment process used paper ballots to select three candidates from four applicants; the council completed several rounds of voting to reach a majority selection and then approved the slate by motion (6-0).
- Liquor license recommendation (item 8): Council voted to recommend that the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control approve a Series 12 (restaurant) liquor license for Big Belly Nellie's Sports Bar and Grill at 1751 Highway 95 #187. Staff reported no concerns with the application; the council voted to approve the recommendation (6-0).
- Animal Resource Center wiring and security (item 9): Council approved a rebid award to My Alarm Tech LLC for wiring, security cameras, TV cabling, data ports and alarm systems at the Bullhead City Animal Resource Center in the amount of $150,000 (plus taxes). Staff noted the low bid and asked the council to approve a $25,000 transfer from general fund contingency to meet the budget; council approved the contract and contingency transfer (6-0).
- Other administrative items: The council approved a five-year Axon body-camera master services agreement (item 10) in an amount not to exceed $1,281,067.92 (see separate coverage). It also approved an end-of-year budget amendment moving $400,000 from general fund contingency into various departments (item 11), rescheduled the August regular meeting from Tuesday, Aug. 19 to Monday, Aug. 18 to accommodate the League of Cities and Towns conference (item 12), and directed the city clerk to solicit applications and compile packets for filling a council vacancy with an appointment process to be considered July 15 and a special meeting to seat the new member and elect a mayor (item 13). All of those motions passed 6-0.
- Consent agenda (approved): The council approved a consent agenda earlier in the meeting by unanimous vote; the packet contained routine items and staff recommendations.
Where votes were recorded by roll call, the clerk announced a unanimous "6 in favor" and the motions were recorded as carried. The council indicated it would schedule any follow-up special meetings needed to seat a new council member and elect a new mayor once applications are compiled and reviewed.
