Topics getting the most attention in Bullhead City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
8 issues with medium priority
Colorado Boulevard drainage complaints
A resident again pleaded for a fix to chronic flooding on Colorado Boulevard, suggesting a culvert in the roadway median to move stormwater toward the river instead of into his property.
Electricity supply and residential rate protection
A Mohave Electric Cooperative official walked the council through how big data center customers would be handled: they pay all their own infrastructure costs upfront, bring their own power, and can be curtailed in an emergency — so residents' bills shouldn't go up. Several council members want an ACC-approved energy services agreement written into the ordinance.
Sewer lift station emergency pump rebuild
The 18-2 Lift Station needs an emergency pump rebuild costing $76,490.03 — critical sewer infrastructure that keeps wastewater moving.
Presidential rally costs and city role
Residents pressed whether the city will be reimbursed for police costs at the October 14 rally and whether employees were required to attend. The city manager said only on-duty and overtime officers worked the event and expenses will be billed to appropriate parties.
Veterans Resource Center land proposal and records requests
A resident questioned the proposed donation of 2.33 acres of city land for a Veterans Resource Center, saying a records request took a month and produced 64 pages of nonresponsive material.
Utility Auction
Bullhead City is selling off two small water systems in Fort Mohave with a starting price of $2.3 million. This public auction could shake up how water is managed and how much you pay for it in that area.
ADA pedestrian upgrades on Highway 95
The city is applying for a state grant to install accessible push buttons — with vibration and audible signals for blind and deaf pedestrians — at 14 Highway 95 intersections.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
Bullhead City just hosted a free hazardous waste drop-off day, letting residents clear out old oil and chemicals safely. It's a quick win for getting rid of toxic junk without trashing the neighborhood.
