Kingman council approves CDBG application, zoning changes, traffic signal contract and other items
Summary
At its April 21 meeting the council approved a CDBG ADA project application ($809,824), zoning ordinance changes (Ordinance 1993), a traffic signal contract that exceeds its $700,000 budget (contract $976,310.70), an MOU with U.S. Capitol Police, and accepted a Kingman Little League scoreboard donation.
Kingman City Council approved multiple items on April 21, including grant application, zoning changes, a major capital contract and intergovernmental and community items.
Key votes and outcomes
- CDBG application (Resolution 5609): Council approved staff's recommendation to apply for $809,824 from the Arizona Department of Housing’s CDBG Regional Account for an ADA barrier removal project on Andy Devine Avenue, covering curb ramps, driveways, sidewalks and handrails, plus design funds for a future Stockton Hill Road phase. Staff said the project would be completed by September 2027 if funded.
- Zoning code text amendment (Z026‑0001 / Ordinance 1993): Council adopted zoning code clarifications and targeted revisions that restore omitted sections, add standards for accessory structures, add development standards and higher thresholds for data centers (water/energy/noise), and include interim sign code amendments. Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval 6–0.
- Airway Avenue & Burbank Street traffic signal contract: Council approved a construction contract to install a new signal at Airway and Burbank. The project was included in the FY2025‑26 CIP at $700,000 but the proposed contract award is $976,310.70; staff said additional roadway geometry work, storm drainage and widening to accommodate turn lanes account for the increase. Construction is expected to be heaviest May–August, pending Unisource power relocations.
- Resolution 5607 (MOU with U.S. Capitol Police): Council approved an MOU authorizing reimbursement to the Kingman Police Department for overtime when providing security support for congressional events.
- Kingman Little League donation: Council accepted a donation of wireless scoreboards valued at $24,321.60 for fields at Southside Park.
Most votes were taken by voice; no detailed roll‑call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The council also approved the consent agenda (items A–M less E, J and M were pulled for separate consideration) and closed the meeting after a series of department reports and announcements.
