Bullhead City Council on Nov. 4 approved a package of items that city leaders said will support local business operations, animal adoptions and critical water infrastructure.

The council voted 7‑0 to recommend approval of a Series 9 liquor‑store license and interim permit for Dockside Mini Market at 416 Hancock Road. Daryl Wallace, the store manager, told the council the license is a transfer after 40 years of continuous operation and that the same staff will remain in place.

The council also approved a final condominium plat for Toy Shack Storage (Tract 5173), a new storage facility on Laughlin Ranch Boulevard that will divide four buildings into 123 individually titled storage parcels; common areas will be maintained by a property owners association.

Human Services Director Jeff Tipton asked the council to ratify an existing 2024 expenditure of $60,672, approve up to $90,000 for veterinary services through Dec. 31, 2025, and authorize a one‑year contract extension for calendar year 2026 with the Humane Society of Mohave County Animal Medical Center to provide low‑cost spay/neuter and other veterinary services for shelter animals processed through BARC. Tipton explained the contract runs on a calendar year schedule while the city budget runs July–June and said the requested approvals align the contract with procurement rules. The council approved the request 7‑0.

The council adopted Resolution 2025‑R‑49 authorizing an updated intergovernmental agreement with the Arizona Department of Public Safety that governs the Bullhead City Police Department’s access to criminal justice information via the FBI National Crime Information Center. Captain Harms described the update as a periodic security and protocol refresh; the resolution passed unanimously.

On the meeting’s largest dollar item, Utilities Director Mark Clark recommended awarding a $755,418.84 construction contract to K Constructors LLC for South Supply Line Phase 2 (project 26U005). Clark said the work extends a 16‑inch transmission main (with an additive 12‑inch distribution main installed in the same trench), ties new and existing wells and tanks and will raise pressures in affected neighborhoods by roughly 15–20 PSI; the new well is expected to yield about 3,000–4,000 gallons per minute. Clark said the project uses a portion of roughly $1 million in state funding secured with help from local legislators and noted the low bid came in well below other bidders. The council approved the contract 7‑0; Clark said additional change orders will return later to use remaining state funds and to fund a Phase 3 extension.

All formal motions recorded at the meeting passed by recorded voice vote of 7 in favor, none opposed. Several items had little public comment; where residents spoke the council recorded their concerns and questions in the public record.
