Council directs staff to proceed with airport parcel A development as discussed in executive session

The City Council met in executive session before its regular meeting to receive legal advice concerning a development agreement for Parcel A at the Lake Havasu municipal airport and subsequently directed staff to proceed as discussed in that closed session.

At the public hearing on the item, the mayor explained the executive session had provided council legal counsel on the development agreement to comply with Arizona open‑meeting law. No members of the public addressed the council on the item during the public hearing.

Council action: Council member Jenny Coke moved to "direct staff to move forward as discussed in our executive session." Council member David Diaz seconded; the motion carried 7‑0.

Why it matters: The vote authorizes city staff to take the next steps outlined to council in the closed session. The council did not disclose specific terms or commitments in open session; any formal agreements or contract approvals would be reported at a future public meeting when appropriate.

What was said: Council member Coke moved the direction and requested the motion be restated on the record during open session; the council recorded a unanimous vote approving the direction.

Next steps: Staff will proceed consistent with council direction provided in executive session and will return to open meeting with any formal agreements or required approvals when appropriate.
