ITEM 46: Supervisor Johnson questioned why the additional cost was coming to the Board now, and why it wasn't addressed with the architect.

In response to Supervisor Johnson, Manager Walker stated that the County approached Citizens to see if they would absorb the cost for putting the underground utilities across the front of the parking lot at the new Sheriff's Facility. He stated that they declined, but agreed to put part of the lines underground. He stated that in the long term, it is an improvement both aesthetically, and safety wise, to not have the side wires coming off the poles into the parking lot.
Supervisor Byers stated that only one set of wires would be across the parking lot, and no guy wires.

Director Hendrix stated that Citizens would be replacing the wooden poles with new metal poles and would extend across the Sheriff's Facility to the Armory (Jail Annex), and will benefit all the properties. He stated that the agreement with Citizens to participate in all the labor costs for the new improvements was made after the negotiations with the architect.

Supervisor Johnson questioned if it was a health and safety issue.

Director Hendrix stated that, in his opinion, it will aesthetically benefit the property and make it more usable for the future.

Supervisor Johnson stated that he cannot support spending the money for aesthetic reasons.

Motion was made by Supervisor Byers and seconded by Chairman Sockwell to approve the replacement of existing overhead electric distribution lines with underground lines, and the replacement of several transmission structures, at the new Sheriff's Office facility site as proposed, for a total estimated cost of $38,558.80, to be included as part of the construction project.

The following roll call votes were recorded: Supervisor Byers - Yes, Supervisor Johnson - No, Chairman Sockwell - Yes. Motion carried by majority vote.

ITEM 56: Chairman Sockwell opened the Public Hearing regarding the adoption of BOS Resolution No. 2003-35 - Establishing Gleneagles Drive as a County Highway; and authorize the County Manager to enter into an Agreement with the City of Lake Havasu City to improve Gleneagles Drive for an estimated cost of $53,101, to be paid from the County's Highway User Revenue Funds.

Manager Walker stated that the County received a Cease and Desist letter for going in and out of the new Senior Center of Gleneagles Drive. He stated that, subsequent to that time, they met with Attorney Jackson and members of Gleneagles Homeowners Association. He stated that the County, in cooperation with the City of Lake Havasu City, has been looking at making road improvements. Manager Walker advised that by making Gleneagles a County Highway, the County can make the safety improvements that need to be done.

Douglas Keelen, Lake Havasu City resident, stated that he would defer to Loretta Thieme to make a statement on behalf of the Gleneagles Homeowners Association.

Loretta Thieme, resident of Gleneagles and on the Board of the Homeowners Association, stated that she understands the County's need to go through the paperwork of making Gleneagles a County street for the period in which they want to bring it up to standard as there are problems with ingress and egress to the Senior Center. She questioned if the County would turn the road over to the City of Lake Havasu City when they are finished with it. Ms. Thieme stated that the County is in receipt of an easement and maintenance covenant that gives the Association the right to the road from Acoma to the guard shack, as the Grantor. She stated that the property next door has an easement, and they share the maintenance and the liability.

Ms. Thieme stated that the easement is in Mohave County Official Records under number 9124750, Book 1891, Page 282, dated 05-20-91. She stated that the easement shows that Gleneagles Condominium Owners are the Grantor, and the owners of the commercial property, currently the Senior Center of Mohave County, are the Grantee. She stated that from the County's first involvement of building the Senior Center, the Association has sought a liability and maintenance agreement for the shared driveway known as Gleneagles Drive. She stated that the document gives them that, and they wish acknowledgement of it before they proceed with plans to fix the problems with ingress and egress.

Ms. Thieme stated that the Association has concerns with access and maintenance of their utilities because by taking over this roadway, the County is denying them the right to service their utilities, so they need an easement for that. She stated that they have a problem with property line land that they have been maintaining and nurturing which falls in the Senior Center, and they would need an easement to continue taking care of it. She stated that they would take a less expensive approach to modifying the center dividers, and they think they have a better plan now. She requested a planning session with the County to solve the problems. She stated that they did not want to give up ownership of the property because they feel it is theirs. She stated that they have always tried to negotiate with the County in good faith, and they have been very patient.

In response to Manager Walker, Ms. Thieme stated that she is representing the Condominium Association.

In response to Supervisor Byers, Director Hendrix stated that the money cannot be used unless we have the agreement.

Director Hendrix stated that making this roadway a County Highway, and with the agreement with the City, the County can meet with the Association and further develop the plans for improving the access to the Senior Center and Heritage Park. He stated that, in his opinion, the Association's objections would not prohibit the County from going forward with this action.

Manager Walker stated that he thinks the County and the Association are close enough on the issues that subsequent to this, a separate agreement could be worked out with them.

Ms. Thieme stated that if it is the County's intention to give the street to the City, the Association loses their ability to have a sign on the highway, on Acoma Boulevard.

Supervisor Byers stated that if the County does not do this, the County would have to condemn the property, and the County does not want to do that.

In response to Ms. Thieme, Manager Walker stated that the City, like the County, cannot accept Gleneagles Drive into its inventory if it does not meet City standards. He stated that the direction the County is heading is, subsequent to the agreement and getting the road properly fixed, to dedicate it to the City as a City street, and then it would be maintained by City funds in the future.

Director Hendrix stated that there were certain conditions that the Association wanted considered, i.e., redesigning the cul-de-sac, and relocating the trees, median, and sign to their property.

Ms. Thieme stated that the County was requiring the sign be removed.
Director Hendrix stated that he contacted the engineer that was designing the plans and requested he include those conditions and resubmit to the City. He stated that the only other condition that they discussed was providing an easement across County property for the utility company.

Ms. Thieme stated that, in her opinion, the County is taking their driveway without their permission, and they have proof that it belongs to them, and the County has an easement that says they can use it. She stated that they are agreeable to the County fixing the street to its safety standards, but the driveway belongs to Gleneagles.

Supervisor Johnson questioned if the item could be continued for 30 days, so they could work this out.

Manager Walker stated that there is some sense of urgency for the dollar amount for this repair, as the County is working on a contract that Lake Havasu City has existing.

Supervisor Johnson questioned if the item could be continued until the next meeting.

Manager Walker stated that approving the item, does not prohibit the County from continuing to work with the Condominium Association and Attorney Jackson. He stated that if we cannot work something out, he was sure it would end up in litigation.

In response to Supervisor Johnson, Director Hendrix stated that the County has the legal authority to declare this roadway a County Highway, according to Richard Basinger, of the County Attorney's Office.

Supervisor Johnson questioned, for clarification, if somebody has a private road and they do not want it to become a County Highway, other businesses in the County can petition to do so.

Director Hendrix stated that declaring a County Highway allows the County to acquire right of way for roadway across private properties.

Ms. Thieme stated for the record: "All these improvements and all these changes that you are required to make, and these monies that have to be spent, are of your own making. The driveway was just fine until the powers that be decided to take an ingress and egress on a private road without the permission of us in the first place. All these monies that we have spent, excuse me, all the money that needs to be spent to correct this is of your own making. Don't make it sound like you're spending some special money for us, because you're not. You've only made our lives difficult and our property values diminished by what you have done, and we have tried in good faith for more than a year to solve this problem. And I must say, I'm very, very disappointed with Mohave County."

Manager Walker stated that by virtue of the plans the County submitted to the City of Lake Havasu City, the ingress and egress plan was done by their traffic engineers, and this was a condition in order to build the Senior Center on that particular site. He stated that the City will not allow ingress and egress on Acoma Boulevard as they believe it is unsafe.

Ms. Thieme stated that it is a suspension of their individual property rights, and speaking for the Board (Gleneagles), they resent that.

Motion was made by Chairman Sockwell to approve Item 56, contingent on working out some agreement with the Association.

Manager Walker stated that before an amendment is proposed, the County will try to negotiate in good faith to do what the Condominium Association would like, but there is no guarantee an accommodation can be reached.

John Finn, Lake Havasu City resident, stated that he is in the process of purchasing the remaining 17 acres of property that has been in foreclosure, and he has gone through all the documents on this property regarding the easement and maintenance covenant for the Gleneagles Road, and the Association owns the road. He stated that they have no problem with the Senior Center having access for ingress and egress. He stated that, in his opinion, there was failure to plan in the beginning of the Senior Center. He stated that they could possibly eliminate about six feet of one of the islands, and then commercial vehicles could do a 90 degree turn into the Senior Center for deliveries, etc. He stated that he personally reviewed the plans done by Mr. Miller, and there is no design concept implemented into the plans; they want to tear out the sign, the islands, all the palm trees, and just pave the whole area as one huge roadway, and this destroys Gleneagles completely.

Mr. Finn stated that there is a problem which they are willing to work with the County, through a series of meetings, rather than destroying the entire entry and all the investments that are in Gleneagles at the present time. He stated that he respectfully requests that the item be tabled until they have a meeting.

In response to Chairman Sockwell, Mr. Finn stated that the issue has been going on for more than one year. He stated that the road is owned by the Association, and they grant ingress and egress to the Senior Center. He stated that, in his opinion, it is not right for the County to take the road and tear it up and do what they want with it.

Manager Walker stated that they had a meeting and received a written proposal/agreement from Attorney Jackson, and thought the process was merely being formalized, and if the letter from Attorney Jackson is not representative, then perhaps it needs to be redone. He stated that the County thought they were doing what the Condominium Association wanted.

Mr. Finn stated that the County did not have the document until they provided it, and it was not part of any of the meetings.

Manager Walker stated that with this new information, he would recommend a continuation.

Chairman Sockwell withdrew his motion.

In response to Manager Walker, Ms. Thiems stated a 30 day continuance would be agreeable with the Condominium Association.
Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson and seconded by Chairman Sockwell to continue the item to the February 3, 2003, Board of Supervisors Meeting.

Joan O'Connor, Golden Valley resident, stated that the County does not have any money to do her road, yet they have $53,000 to do Gleneagles Drive. She questioned why the County couldn't take a couple thousand and fix her road. She stated: "We live in forgotten valley, prison city, not down there in Lake Havasu where Buster rules."

Manager Walker called for a Point of Order. He stated that he concurred with Supervisor Johnson that the issue is a specific agenda item, and the discussion is going off on other roads, in violation of the Open Meeting Law.

Ms. O'Connor stated that she was opposed. She stated that she has dedicated her road as a County Highway, and has tried for 15 years to get it done.

Chairman Sockwell stated that the number of people using the road may be the difference.

Motion carried unanimously.

ITEM 57: Chairman Sockwell opened the Public Hearing regarding the adoption of BOS Resolution No. 2003-01 - Approving Ordinance No. 2003-01 - Authorizing the Presiding Judge to establish a $60 Superior Court Improvement Fee and a $50 Warrant Fee.

Supervisor Johnson thanked the Courts for looking at alternatives for increasing revenues. He stated that he would like a continuance on the item as the State Court was looking at taxes that would include charging federal tax refunds, and blocking vehicle registration which would have a potential range of $51 million to $114 million by collecting the overdue traffic fines. He stated that he would be curious to know what the Courts have in outstanding fines, and how the collections are going. He stated that he believed the Board needs to know how much money the Courts are forgiving by waiving fines and fees.

Supervisor Johnson stated that he believed the State Court was looking at an increase of $45 in fees statewide, but the increase the Board is looking at is $60. He stated that he was not willing to add an additional fee that is not being used to cover current costs, but as a supplement to the budget. He stated that he had a problem with having a $10 proposed new fee go to "other", and if the Board institutes an increase, we must stipulate where the money is to be spent.

Supervisor Johnson stated that Superior Court Clerk Tinnell and Presiding Judge Moon have some good ideas; however, he would like to work with them, for more specific purposes. He stated that if the Board moves ahead, he would like to have the fees for a one year period and evaluate the results to see if the program should continue.

Superior Court Clerk Tinnell stated that the fee is completely different than the fines and fees the Courts normally collect. She stated that these are filing fees to initiate a new civil, probate, criminal, domestic violence case, and it has nothing to do with fines, restitution and reimbursement. She stated that Chief Justice Jones requested that all the presiding judges go to their supervisors and ask for a unified fee, and there was a little confusion at that time because he recommended a $40 fee be implemented so all the counties would be the same; however, Maricopa and Pinal were already at $60.

Superior Court Clerk Tinnell stated that they broke up the fees into various parts so the Supervisors would know where the money is going, and as part of the checks and balances, this would be included in their annual budget review. She stated that she is requesting $20 "EDMS fee" so that they can get an Electronic Document Management System for the Clerk's Office. She stated that one of the reasons that they need the EDMS system is they have 30,000 files (the law requires that they protect those files), and only have room for 15,000 in their vault. She stated that the system would allow access to files that are housed in Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City.

In response to Chairman Sockwell, Superior Court Clerk Tinnell stated that this does not totally standardize court fees across the state as Yuma asked for $50, and Maricopa and Pinal have $60, and other counties have a $40 fee.

Supervisor Byers stated that this will impact some people; however, we need to get our court system up-to-date, and he would like to give it a try and see how it works. He stated that Mohave County has a court system that is spread over a very large area, and most of the other counties do not have the same problem.

Motion was made by Supervisor Byers to adopt BOS Resolution No. 2003-01 - Approving Ordinance No. 2003-01, as stated, and to bring it back in one year for review.

Superior Court Clerk Tinnell concurred with Supervisor Byers that what they are trying to do is allow the people that are using the courts to pay more for that use rather than the general public.

Superior Court Clerk Tinnell stated that she does not have a problem with reviewing it in a year; however, they would not have a lot of progress to show. She stated that they cannot get the EDMS project off the ground in a year because there is a $200,000 initial set up fee, and the projected revenue for the first year will be $64,000. She stated that one of the things Edna Johnson, Court Administrator, wants is a facility to house prospective jurors, and the $32,000 projected for the year will not be enough.

The motion was seconded by Chairman Sockwell.

There being no public input, Chairman Sockwell closed the Public Hearing.

The following roll call votes were recorded: Supervisor Byers - Yes, Supervisor Johnson - No, Chairman Sockwell - Yes. Motion carried by majority vote.

ITEM 58: Chairman Sockwell opened the Public Hearing regarding the adoption of BOS Resolution No. 2003-08 - Rezone of the Easterly 150 feet of the southerly 509.56 feet of that portion of the NW1/4 SW1/4 SW1/4 of Section 21, lying easterly of London Bridge Road and southerly of Lake Drive, excluding the northerly 100 feet of the easterly 100 feet, in Township 14 North, Range 20 West, from R-1 (Single Family Residential) zone to C-2 (General Commercial) zone, in the Lake Havasu City Area (southeast corner of London Bridge Road and Lake Drive), Mohave County, Arizona, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Motion was made by Supervisor Byers and seconded by Chairman Sockwell to adopt BOS Resolution No. 2003-08, as stated.

Supervisor Johnson stated that this rezone was done in 1998 and rescinded in 2001. He questioned if there is a way so they are not just doing land speculation, where they can do the rezoning for a year, or a temporary zoning where they come back to the Board if they have a business. He stated that, in his opinion, if we are just rezoning land for resale, this is not good.

Supervisor Byers questioned if Supervisor Johnson would like to bring that issue up under a Planning and Zoning item, and send it to Planning and Zoning. He stated that he would agree to talk it over, but not on this particular issue.

Supervisor Johnson stated that, in his opinion, it applies to this item.

There being no public input, Chairman Sockwell closed the Public Hearing.

The following roll call votes were recorded: Supervisor Byers - Yes, Supervisor Johnson - No, Chairman Sockwell - Yes. Motion carried by majority vote.

Chairman Sockwell noted that Royce Jones, St. George, Utah, was in attendance, and in favor of the District.

In response to Supervisor Byers, Chairman Sockwell stated that he had no one signed up in opposition to the proposed District.

Supervisor Byers stated that he received a few letters of opposition, but not enough to change, as it requires 51% of the people in opposition.

There being no public input, Chairman Sockwell closed the Public Hearing.

Motion was made by Supervisor Byers, seconded by Supervisor Johnson, and unanimously carried to adopt BOS Resolution No. 2003-36, as stated.

There being no further business to come before the Board of Supervisors this 6th day of January, 2003, motion was made by Chairman Sockwell, seconded by Supervisor Byers, and unanimously carried to adjourn at 10:30 A.M.
