Section 10 Wastewater Plant Expansion Concerns

Funded by sewer customer rates through the enterprise fund, not general taxes.

Data Center Zoning Regulations

A data center ordinance itself costs little, but rules around decommissioning bonds and infrastructure could shift costs to developers instead of taxpayers — and rates could rise if large loads weren't properly insulated.

Laughlin Ranch Major General Plan Amendment

The applicant projects a 54% reduction in water demand (about 1.9 billion gallons) versus the current approved plan, but residents question actual data center water use.

Flooding emergency and storm recovery

$600,000 moved now, with total damage expected to top $4 million and more funding requests coming.

Water Resource Allocation and Development Growth

Water entitlements bought decades ago for $750-$1,400 per acre-foot are now worth over $20,000 — a major long-term asset.

Highway 68 Safety Study

Smaller fixes can be done in-house; lighting and turn restrictions will need new funding through ADOT's planning process.

BLM Land Exchange Agreement

The city gives up largely inaccessible land for a small but valuable in-city parcel.

Colorado River Water Management EIS Comments

Not specified in the agenda; the value of conservation credits to the city was not stated.

Sale of Out-of-City Fort Mojave Water Assets

Lakeside Drive Emergency Manhole Rehabilitation

Cost $191,863.56 from utility funds for emergency repairs.

Electric-Assist Bicycle Regulations and Park Safety

Staff time and potential signage/enforcement costs.

Veterans Resource Center land proposal and records requests

Costs the city $76,490.03 without competitive bidding.

Mohave County Airport Authority Legal Consultation

Any financial exposure or obligations weren't made public.

Original Bullhead City Revitalization

Issuance of $16.5 million in improvement district bonds, backed by property assessments on developers.

Boys & Girls Club Funding Increase

An extra $10,000 comes from the city's general fund contingency this fiscal year.

Wild Burro Population Management

None; burro management is federally funded.

Ramar Road Traffic Safety and Speeding

Minor costs for potential signage, pavement markings, or speed feedback signs.

City Center Infrastructure Financing

The $16.5 million in bonds and $12.1 million construction contract are repaid by the developer and future property owners through assessments, not city taxes.

Community Cat TNR Program Review

Potential future budget allocations for expanded spay and neuter services or shelter transport.
